STRATEGY BEHIND THE SPIRIT
Helping hospitality businesses build spaces and drinks programmes that actually work - creatively and commercially. From shaping concepts and leading interior design and fit-out, to developing menus, sourcing equipment and suppliers, tightening systems and training teams, we get stuck into the practical stuff that makes venues better day to day.
Our Consultancy
Bespoke Beverage Programs
Great drinks don’t happen by accident - they’re built with intention, creativity and commercial clarity.
We start by understanding your venue properly: your concept, your crowd, your price point and your ambitions. Then we design a drinks programme that fits - creatively distinctive, operationally smooth and engineered for strong GP from day one.
From signature serves and house-made ingredients to refined classics, everything is tested for real-world service. No fluff. No vanity drinks. Just top-quality bevs that taste great, look right and work on a busy Saturday night.
We don’t just write menus - we embed them. Training, specs, prep systems and service flow so your team delivers with confidence.

+32% PROFIT
"Four Cats re-engineered our menu logic and back-of-house systems. The strategic beverage efficiency results were immediate and measurable across our operations."
TURNED CONCEPT INTO REALITY
"Four Cats brought a huge amount of knowledge to the table. From design, staffing, social media and marketing, through to training and, of course, making sure the drinks offering was absolutely on point to the finest detail. The whole process felt organised, relaxed and genuinely collaborative from start to finish, which isn’t always easy when you’re opening a new venue"
