Claude Coaching, built only for hospitality
Get your teams thinking and working differently.
Claude isn’t another app. It’s a new operating system for how you work, like Windows or Google Workspace. This year I’ve spent hundreds of hours learning it, and without writing a line of code I’ve built websites with full databases, an AI org structure that sits over my own, and knowledge bases that speed up onboarding. It’s given me back a day a week. Now I’m bringing it to hospitality.

Claude Coach
The tools, the shortcuts, and the rabbit holes to avoid.
Your teams don’t have the time to learn AI on top of the day job, and it asks them to think and work very differently. I’ve done the steep part of the learning curve. Your team gets the hours back for the creative work, the judgement calls, the guests and the venues.

The backstory
Thirty-five years in hospitality. Twenty-five building the tech.
I spent 15 years behind the bar, on the floor, in the kitchen and on the door. Since 2001 I’ve been building the software that the sector uses day to day for revenue generation and footfall. In 2018 I took over Airship as CEO, brought it back from near-bankruptcy, launched Toggle and exited to Zonal in 2022 before stepping down in September 2026.
