It aims to eliminate wasteful processes and enhance service procedures for hospitality businesses.

The hands-on, facilitated workshop will be led by Stuart Nelson & Eamon McKenna of Jigsaw Better Business, introducing a new way of thinking tailored for hospitality through discussions, breakouts, and group activities. Discover how the one-to-one guidance in Phase 2 can transform your hospitality business for the better!

Feedback from Past Participants of the Lean Program 

• “We are being challenged in every visit, and growing each time”. 
• “It’s hard work on our part but we are making great headway.  Our Lean Coach is excellent at drawing out what way I need to look at how I work, and I’ve already started implementing everything and seeing progress.” 
• “Very positive experience, the changes are being realised immediately.” 
• “Each of the session have been of major benefit for myself and the company. We have worked on a process flow map for a major process within the business. This will allow the company to benefit for years to come as we can adopt this way of thinking into other functions and departments.” 
• “We are incredibly happy with the work done. By implementing the new system and planning the data migration, we left the project with a tangible cloud-based platform that completely changed our way of working.” 
• “Since we took part in the program, there is a greater sense of calm and control in the running of the business!” 
• “I am impressed by the collaborative and nuanced way the trainers and coaches promote the Lean process to a small business so that it is a learning we buy into rather than a diktat that you as experts know best.”
