The Dundee scene
The V&A and the waterfront regeneration added a visitor economy to a city that previously ran almost entirely on local and student trade, with the West End and Perth Road carrying the independent scene.
On-site training · Scotland
Hospitality training in Dundee.
Full-day hospitality workshops delivered at your venue in Dundee — leadership, coaching, retention and recruitment for pubs, restaurants, hotels, bars and multi-site groups. Your team doesn’t travel, and the examples come from your operation rather than a generic case study.
The local picture
What hospitality in Dundee is actually dealing with.
We shape the day around the market you operate in, not a syllabus written for everywhere at once.
Where teams here come under pressure
A young, growing market with a thin layer of experienced managers, because for years the career move was to leave for Edinburgh or Glasgow. Developing supervisors locally is the only way that changes.
Most requested in Scotland
Four days that change how a team runs.
Any of the full workshop range can be delivered in Dundee, and bespoke days are built where none of the standard sessions fit.
Hospitality Leadership
Confidence, communication and the behaviours that make people want to work for a manager rather than merely comply with one.
Coaching & Feedback Conversations
The difficult conversation, the underperformer, the feedback that lands. The skill most managers are promoted without.
Employee Engagement & Retention
Why people actually leave, what the first 90 days should contain, and the habits that hold a team together.
Hospitality Recruitment Beyond The CV
Hiring for attitude and behaviour, structured interviewing, and how to stop rehiring the same role every quarter.
How a Dundee workshop works
Three steps, no procurement exercise.
01
A conversation about what’s actually happening.
The turnover figure, the shift that keeps going wrong, the manager promoted a year too early. Twenty minutes on the phone tells us more than a brief does.
02
A day built around your operation.
Delivered at your venue in Dundee or a site you choose, for 8-16 of your people, using your scenarios rather than borrowed ones.
03
Actions your managers own.
Every session ends with each delegate holding a specific commitment, not a handout. That is the part that survives contact with a busy Friday.

Questions
Hospitality training in Dundee, answered.
Anything not covered here, ask — the quickest route is usually a short call rather than an email thread.
Do you deliver hospitality training in Dundee?
Yes. We deliver full-day hospitality workshops on site in Dundee and across Scotland, at your venue or a location of your choosing. The same trip normally covers Perth, Arbroath, St Andrews, Forfar and the surrounding area, so multi-site operators can often run consecutive days across nearby venues.
How much does hospitality training cost in Dundee?
A full-day workshop is £1,495 excluding VAT for the whole group, not per delegate, and that price is the same in Dundee as anywhere else in the UK — travel is included rather than added on. Larger groups, conference sessions and leadership away days are quoted separately.
What are the main staffing challenges for hospitality businesses in Dundee?
A young, growing market with a thin layer of experienced managers, because for years the career move was to leave for Edinburgh or Glasgow. Developing supervisors locally is the only way that changes. That is the pattern we see most often when we work with operators here, and it is the thing the workshops are shaped around rather than a generic syllabus.
Which Dundee businesses are the workshops for?
Pubs, restaurants, hotels, bars, cafés and multi-site groups — anyone responsible for other people's performance, from general managers and head chefs through to supervisors and emerging leaders. The V&A and the waterfront regeneration added a visitor economy to a city that previously ran almost entirely on local and student trade, with the West End and Perth Road carrying the independent scene.
Can a workshop be tailored to our Dundee venue?
Every session is built around your operation rather than delivered off a shelf. We start with a conversation about what is actually happening in the business — the turnover figure, the shift that keeps going wrong, the manager who has been promoted too early — and shape the day around it. Fully bespoke workshops are available where none of the standard days fit.
