What is ClearMargin Academy

Not a course you watch. A programme you work through.

ClearMargin Academy is a live, cohort-based course for café and restaurant owners who want to understand and fix the financial side of their business — with the support of a group going through the same process at the same time.

It's built on the same frameworks as the ClearMargin playbooks — but delivered live, with direct access to the consulting team, peer accountability, and a structured programme that takes you from where you are to where you need to be.

🎯
Live and interactive — not pre-recorded
Every session is live. You can ask questions, work through your own numbers in real time, and get direct feedback on your specific situation. Not a video library you'll never finish.
👥
Cohort-based — you're not doing this alone
Each intake is a small group of owners working through the same material at the same time. Peer accountability, shared experience, and a network of operators who understand exactly what you're dealing with.
📋
Built around your actual numbers
You don't study hypothetical businesses. You work through the frameworks using your own P&L, your own roster, your own menu. Every session produces something you can act on immediately.
🌍
Delivered online — open to operators anywhere
Live sessions run online so the cohort can include owners from across New Zealand, Australia, and beyond. The frameworks apply to any hospitality business in any market.
Why live and cohort-based

Most courses don't work. Here's why this one will.

01

Accountability beats willpower

A pre-recorded course requires you to show up for yourself, every session, indefinitely. A live cohort means other people are expecting you. The completion rates are not comparable.

02

Your question gets answered

Pre-recorded content can't respond to your specific situation. Live delivery means when you ask "but what about my café specifically?" — you get a direct answer, not a FAQ page.

03

The peer network is part of the value

The operators you go through the Academy with become a long-term resource. People who understand your world, have been through the same process, and can call you out when you're reverting to old habits.

Who the Academy is for

Built for operators who are ready to do the work.

✓Café and restaurant owners who know their numbers aren't where they should be and want a structured programme to fix them
✓New owners in their first year who want to build the right habits and systems before bad ones set in
✓Experienced operators who've been trading for years but have never formally looked at their menu costs or roster efficiency
✓Owners who learn better in a live environment with accountability than from a book or pre-recorded video
✓Operators thinking about the exit — who want to build a business that's genuinely worth selling
The Academy won't work if:
You're not willing to look at your actual numbers. You want to observe without doing the work. Or you're looking for marketing advice rather than financial and operational clarity — the Academy is focused on the numbers, the systems, and the costs.
"The live format is the whole point. You can read the frameworks. Having someone hold you accountable to applying them is a different thing entirely."
ClearMargin Academy is deliberately small. Each cohort is limited so every participant gets direct access to the consulting team and the peer group stays tight enough to be genuinely useful.

Not ready to wait?

Start with the playbooks while the Academy is in development.

The ClearMargin playbooks are the self-directed version of the same frameworks the Academy is built on. Buy one, work through it this week, and start fixing your numbers before the course even launches.
