01 / Ongoing Advisory

Membership - ongoing access, without the project cost.

Running a venue is demanding: staff, margins, menus, compliance, competition. The Pestle & Mortar Membership is a monthly support system for hospitality operators who want to run smarter, more profitable venues, with the advice, tools and structure to stay ahead and avoid costly mistakes.

02 / Tiers

Three levels of access.

All tiers are billed monthly and run month-to-month. Cancel any time. A quick 15-minute fit call helps you choose the right tier before you start.

04 / FAQ

Common questions about membership.

If you are between projects but want continuity, this is for you.

Book a Strategy Call
Is this just a retainer with a nicer name?
No. Membership is a monthly support system: templates and tools, member content, direct access to Wayne, and regular menu and margin reviews. It gives you ongoing structure without the cost of a full consulting engagement.
Can we move up a tier if we need more?
Yes. Members move tiers as their needs change. Many start on Starter and step up to Pro once they are ready to push margins, then Executive as they scale.
Is there a contract?
Month-to-month. Cancel with 30 days notice. We do not lock you in - if membership is not delivering value, you should stop paying for it.
Do you cap membership numbers?
Yes. We accept roughly six new members per quarter to ensure quality of attention. There is sometimes a short waitlist for the Pro tier.
