Built from the floor up

Operator experience, turned into operating advantage.

Paul Gavshon built TheWorkingGM from more than three decades across professional kitchens, hotels, pubs, restaurants, accommodation and remote operations in Australia, Ireland and the UK.

Most recently, that meant responsibility for a complex remote operation supporting around 800 residents and leading approximately 70 people across catering, accommodation, housekeeping, facilities, maintenance and logistics.

Operating principle

The system has to work when the shift is busy, the numbers are tight and the manager is carrying too much.

For operators who need implementation

30-Day Operations Control Sprint

Diagnostic, seven-day plan, three priority controls, weekly implementation calls and a final 60-day roadmap. The £295 Health Check is credited when you upgrade within seven days.
