Tapp Business Lab · Pemberton, BC

Clarity, on tap.

Books behind, numbers you can't trust, systems held together with tape, marketing nobody has time for. I sort it out, set it up so it stays sorted, and explain it in plain English.

What's on tap

Most people call about the books. The rest is here when you need it.

Numbers on tap.

Catch-ups and clean-ups, cash flow you can decide from, and monthly upkeep if you want it.

Systems on tap.

POS setup, workflow automation (with AI where it genuinely helps), simple custom tools, websites.

Marketing on tap.

Social media, campaigns and websites, from 30 years of marketing restaurants.

Plans on tap.

Business plans, new locations and launches, operations reviews.

From mess to sorted

How it works

  1. Free chat

    Tell me what's messy. No pressure, no jargon. First round's on me.

  2. A proper look

    The Lab Report: a proper look under the hood, with written findings. Then a quote for the fix, before any work starts.

  3. Sorted and set up

    The fix, plus the system that keeps it fixed.

  4. Your call

    Run it yourself (I'll teach you), or I keep it running.

About

Hi, I'm Mike.

Thirty years in restaurants, from behind the bar to operations director, running teams from a handful of people up to 120, with years of coaching and mentoring managers along the way. Today I work with owner-led businesses whose growth has outrun their systems: restaurants, trades, events and service businesses.

I make complicated things simple, and I'd rather you understand your business than depend on me for it.

Your books, your numbers, your systems. Handled.

Before you call

Fair questions.

Do you do taxes?
No. Tax returns and tax planning go to a CPA. I keep your books current all year, so at tax time they have everything they need. If you don't have one, I can point you to a few.
What does it cost?
The first chat is free. After that, everything is a fixed price, agreed before we start. No surprise invoices.
What's a Lab Report?
An operator's look at how your business runs, with findings and recommendations in plain English. This is not an audit, a review engagement or an opinion on your financial statements.
Which systems do you know?
QuickBooks Online, Square, Lightspeed, Sage, Jobber and Dext, among others. If I haven't used yours, I'll tell you.
Do you use AI?
Sometimes, where it genuinely helps: mostly to take repetitive work off your plate. I check everything it does, and it never stands in for knowing your business.
Do I need to be in Pemberton?
No. I'm based in Pemberton and work in person across the Sea to Sky. Most of the work can be done online, so I can help businesses elsewhere in BC too.

Last call for guesswork.

Tell me what's messy. First round's on me: the first chat is free, and there's no pressure to go further.
