The Venue Coach E187 – Overstaffed and Losing Money: Fix Your Event SOPs

Most venue owners think they have a staffing problem. In reality, they have a systems problem. In this episode, I break down a real situation where we overstaffed a bar and lost money on an event—not because of bad people, but because of bad SOPs. When your team does not have clear guidelines, they default to overcompensating, which quietly eats into your margins. We walk through what went wrong, how it happened, and how to fix it by building simple, clear systems your team can actually follow. If your labor costs feel out of control, this is likely why.

If you’re a venue owner feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or questioning why you got into this business, this episode is for you. The truth is, most venues don’t fail because of the market. They fail because they lose focus on what actually drives growth. In this episode, I break down the core priorities that will move your business forward no matter where you are starting from: sales, upsells, and most importantly, taking care of every couple that walks through your doors. If you get these right, growth is not optional. It is inevitable.

The Venue Coach E183 – How to Structure Your Venue Team to Increase Bookings and Reduce Burnout

Most venue owners are overwhelmed, understaffed, and leaving bookings on the table without realizing it. In this episode, Kyle breaks down how we restructured our team to separate sales from operations, reduce workload, and improve performance across the board. I also walk through how we trained our owner to increase her conversion rate using the four core elements of a high-performing venue tour: rapport, value, staying on track, and actually asking for the sale. If your team is stretched thin or your tours are not converting, this is a simple shift that can immediately improve both your workload and your revenue.
