NCASS Podcast NCASS

In this bitesize episode we discuss getting your compliance in line and keeping things in order, so you can trade legally with peace of mind. During the winter and quieter trading periods, it is a good idea to ensure all of your compliance needs are in hand and up to date. Listen as we run through a few areas to focus your attention on and get ahead of the game.

Jamie and Jon are back for the second part of our episode shining a light on the wonderful work the NCASS tech team do.



As well as lifting a lid on just how the NCASS operation works from a tech point of view, we get a little bit foodie and discuss favourite eating establishments, and find out what dream catering ventures both have in mind!

We know that running your own independent hospitality business is tough, and we aim to help make the reality of this easier any way that we can. One aspect we focus on is to provide a voice for your business in the ear of government and governing bodies for the sector. In this bitesize episode we run through how we strive to do this, looking specifically at our current #empowerindependents campaign, aimed at bringing about much needed tax reforms for the sector.

When it comes to running your business, training is one of the most rewarding investments you can make.

We know that the winter months can prevent a significant amount of downtime and quiet trading periods for hospitality businesses, but this presents an opportunity to work on other areas of the business - in this bitesize episode we discuss why it is a good idea to make use of this time to get your team up on their training.
