02 / For FEC Operators & Multi-Location Venues

The best operators are not the best marketers. They are the ones with the best systems.

FEC marketing needs venue experience a general marketing hire has never seen. Yet most operators expect their agency to just figure it out. That means learning on your dime and testing on your audience.

Without them, the calendar stays soft and the ad spend keeps leaking.

That has nothing to do with how hard your team is pushing.

02

Role scorecards: how to measure each function week over week.

03

Daily and weekly task breakdowns: what each person should actually be doing.

04

The 11 systems that move party bookings, lane fill, and repeat visits.

05

Hiring templates for CMO, brand manager, media buyer, and local marketer roles.

06

The reporting cadence multi-location operators use to stay out of the weeds.

04 / Two Paths Forward

There are two ways to build a world-class FEC marketing operation.

Path 01

Build It In-House

Hire the CMO, brand lead, and media buyer. Install the systems yourself. 9 to 12 months to full operating rhythm if you follow the playbook exactly.

  • You own the team and the IP
  • Highest fixed cost, highest control
  • Requires an operator willing to manage marketing hires

Path 02

Outsource To Specialists

Skip the 12-month learning curve. Plug into an FEC-native team that already runs these 11 systems for multi-location operators.

  • Live in 30 to 45 days
  • Fractional CMO plus execution bench
  • You keep the reporting, we keep the machine running

The shortcut

Skip the 12-month learning curve.

We built the system inside our own venues first. Then we installed it in twelve more. You get the finished machine.
