Interim Management
When a hospitality venue—be it a traditional public house, a restaurant, or an event space—faces a transition period between tenants, the risks to the landlord are substantial.
Left empty, a venue loses its local market presence, risks license deterioration, and faces asset depreciation.
​The Kingston Group offers a seamless, plug-and-play solution to mitigate these challenges.
​​
We step in as your Interim Management Team, keeping your venue open, profitable, compliant with regulations, and appealing to potential long-term tenants.
​
As a business we are committed to sourcing and supporting local provenance which simultaneously reduces our carbon footprint.
​
We take any interim opportunity to invest in those people left on the sideline by the transition. This is done by looking to retain, assess and reassure during any process.
A great hospitality venue is a vital pillar of its local community. Our approach to interim management is culturally sensitive and community-first.
We engage with regulars, support local charity events, and maintain the venue as a welcoming, inclusive hub.
By preserving the social fabric of the establishment, we hand over a loyal, warm customer base to your incoming long-term tenant.
During our interim tenure, The Kingston Group takes full operational accountability, including:
-
Licensing & Compliance: Including DPS, Insurance, H&S, Food Hygiene.
-
Financial Management: Rigorous stock control & EPOS management..
-
Marketing & Public Relations: Utilising our in-house media and PR capabilities to communicate continuity.
-
Handover Readiness: Maintaining a clean, fully audited operation, allowing an incoming tenant to take over seamlessly with zero operational downtime
Fee Structure
We recognise that transitional periods carry financial pressure for landlords. However, as we possess an active, local infrastructure and an existing pool of flexible event and operational staff, we can offer highly competitive, agile pricing models that represent significant savings over national corporate management consultancies.
​
We propose three flexible commercial structures, customizable based on the venue's scale and current trading volumes:
Flat Weekly Fee
Pricing from £995 + VAT
​
Best for fixed & predictable costs during any transition.
​
Full operational management to allow for continuity and minimisation of any disruption to trade and/or employment.
Hybrid
Reduction on base fee plus share in net takings in lieu of rent subsidence
​
Venues with strong trading transactions provides the best documentation for potential tenants.
​
Aligns our management with your venue's success.
Event Led Management
Bespoke quote per agreement / per event.
​
Best suited for venues that are heavily reliant on events.
​
Specialist team available focused solely on events and the logistics within.
Do Note:
Direct operational costs (e.g., wet/dry stock, utilities, on-site staff wages) are typically cleared through the venue's ongoing trade revenue, minimizing the direct out-of-pocket expenditure for the landlord.
​
Why the Kingston Group?
​
Location: Based in Somerset, our senior management team can be on-site at a moment's notice to handle urgencies, supplier deliveries, or licensing inspections.
Capability: From cellars to kitchens, and marketing to compliance, we bring a complete, ready-made management infrastructure.
Enhanced asset value: We don't just "babysit" your property. By infusing the venue with great local food, exceptional service standards, and a vibrant community atmosphere, we actively make the lease or freehold more attractive to premium prospective tenants, helping you secure a better long-term commercial outcome.
​
To discuss how we can safeguard your hospitality asset and maintain its value during this transition, we invite you to a brief initial consultation or an on-site walkthrough.
