What the session is
Outdoor hospitality projects often begin with a compelling vision. The difficult questions come later. Who is the guest? What does the business actually sell? What will it cost to operate? Which assumptions could put the project at risk?
In this fast-moving, table-based session, participants face a series of five-minute operator dilemmas. Each scenario presents a realistic choice involving guest experience, capital, approvals, design, staffing, costs, or opening readiness.
You choose a path, defend your decision, and reveal the consequence. The goal is not to find the perfect answer. It is to make the assumptions behind each answer visible.
What you will do
- Identify the common assumptions that create risk in outdoor hospitality projects.
- Explore how business model decisions connect to project readiness.
- Use the Ten Point Standard as a practical lens for asking better questions.
- Begin mapping your own business model: guests, value proposition, revenue, and operational risk.
This is not a lecture. It is a practical conversation for people willing to examine what it really takes to build and operate an outdoor hospitality business.
Before you get there
Quick Scan takes about ninety seconds on your phone. Six questions about who the project is for and what it is meant to do, and no email. It gets the thinking started, which makes the session a lot more useful when you sit down at the table.
