Venue Yield Score™
Example venue
Six dimensions — customer, labour, stock, trading, space and marketing yield — scored from your own trading data.
Brand architecture
Venue Yield shows how efficiently your venue converts its existing resources into revenue, margin and profit. OperatorOS identifies where performance is being lost, what should be fixed first and how the result will be measured.
Commercial outcomes
Improve bookings, spend, frequency, private hire and productive trading periods.
Improve pricing, purchasing, product mix, GP and wastage.
Improve labour deployment, opening hours, space utilisation, marketing return and operating costs.
The objective is stronger commercial return — not growth at any cost.
Operator credibility
The Foundry is led by Jack Hardy, who spent almost two decades in hospitality, took one independent venue to four sites, funded the growth himself and exited within five years. He remains an active hospitality operator.
Read the full story →Jack Hardy's founder and operator experience: one independent venue built without external investment into a four-site hospitality group with approximately £2 million combined annual turnover, grown and exited within five years. Not a Foundry client project.

Hospitality performance changes constantly. Supplier costs move. Labour changes. Customer behaviour changes. Competitors change. Trading patterns move.
Venue Yield™ should not be measured once and forgotten.
Think of it as an external commercial function for your hospitality business.
Specialist tools, including StockLens AI, may be used where relevant to the venue, the available information and the agreed scope.
