Content and channels
What to post, where to put your effort, and how to keep it consistent alongside service.
From attention to bookings
How to turn the people who see your venue online into people who walk through the door.
How the day runs
Five hours. No fluff.

Questions
Good to know.
When and where is it?
Sydney. The date, venue and arrival details go out by email and SMS as soon as they're locked in.
How long is it?
About 5 hours, in person. It's a live session in a room with other owners, not a recorded course.
Who's running it?
Ahmed, co-founder of Grow Hospo, runs the seminar, with Connor, Danny and Jun from the Grow Hospo team in the room. Grow Hospo is the education arm of MA Media.
Is this a sales pitch?
We'll be straight with you. The seminar is built to be genuinely useful on its own. Towards the end we'll show you how you can keep working with us if you want ongoing help. There's no obligation, and plenty of owners just take what they learn and run with it.
I'm flat out on the floor. When would I do this?
That's exactly who it's for. The focus is a simple routine an owner or manager can run around service, not a second full-time job.
I've tried Instagram or an agency and it didn't work.
Most owners in the room have. We'll go through why that usually happens and what to do differently when you run it yourself.
Do I need to be good with marketing or tech?
No. It's built for people who run venues, not marketers. No prior experience needed.
Will this work for my venue?
It's built for restaurants, cafés and bars, whether you run one venue or several. Not sure? Request a seat and the team will call you to talk it through.
Can I bring my business partner?
Yes. Add a partner seat for $50 at checkout. Partner seats are for co-owners and operators of your venue.
Can I send my manager instead?
A general manager with sign-off on marketing decisions can attend. Otherwise the room is owners and operators only.
Why do you ask for my ABN and revenue?
We check every booking so the room stays owners and operators only, and it helps us understand the venues in the room. We don't share your details.
Can I transfer my ticket?
No. Tickets are for the named holder and aren't transferable.
What's the refund policy?
No change-of-mind refunds. Your rights under Australian Consumer Law aren't affected.
What happens after I book?
Your ticket arrives by email straight away, and someone from the team gives you a quick call to confirm your seat and answer any questions.
Can't make the date?
Still request a seat or get in touch. The team will let you know about upcoming dates.
Ready to take it on yourself?
Restaurant, café and bar owners and operators only. Answer a few quick questions, then secure your seat.
