Built Up North - Hosted by Tech on Toast & Square

BUILT UP NORTH: MANCHESTER NETWORKING BRUNCH

📍 Side Street, Manchester
📅 3rd June
⏰ 9:00 AM – 11:30 AM

Growth in hospitality looks exciting from the outside.
Then you’re actually in it.

Manchester moves fast. Customers bounce between venues, trends change overnight, and scaling without losing control is a full-time job in itself.

That’s exactly what Built Up North is here to talk about.

Hosted by Chris Fletcher, we’ll be joined by operators and industry leaders shaping hospitality growth right now:

• Morgan Austin, Burgerism
Scaling one of the UK’s fastest-growing burger brands in competitive city markets

• Daniel Harding, Pizza Pilgrims
Building culture, consistency, and operational strength while growing nationally

• Freya Taylor, Square
Helping hospitality operators use smarter systems, data, and technology to scale sustainably

Together, we’ll be getting into the realities of growth in hospitality today, from operations and team management to cash flow, systems, and scaling without losing what made the business work in the first place.

WhAT TO EXPECT

We’re getting into the stuff operators actually care about:

• Scaling without losing grip on cash flow
• Managing growing teams and more complex operations
• Building systems that help, not slow you down
• Keeping quality and consistency as you grow
• Making faster, smarter decisions under pressure

Why It Matters

In Manchester, hospitality is deeply connected. Your customers move around the city, discover new spots fast, and compare experiences constantly.

The operators winning right now aren’t standing still.
They’re staying close to the numbers, moving quickly, and building businesses designed to grow properly.
