David Cahill

Hospitality Consultant and Sales Consultant (QLD) @ GSE Hospitality Brokers

For over 20 years I have been working with hospitality owners to help improve outcomes for their businesses. Whether it be consulting, training or implementing systems like complex POS systems for cafes, restaurants, bars, pubs, multi-site groups or franchises I have covered it all. I have been fortunate to travel across Australia and have worked with fantastic people, groups and brands. I spent time living in both Sydney and Melbourne working with many different businesses and people in the industry. Today, I love living in my hometown Brisbane with my young family.

Owners and managers in hospitality businesses are very often overwhelmed by the day to day workings of their businesses. Making changes can be really hard. Make the right changes even harder with so many options and choices to make. I’ve spent a lot of time in my career dealing with these kinds of challenges and solving them.

Being solutions focussed with efficiency in mind without losing the fun element we have in hospo is key to making it all work. I thoroughly enjoy helping businesses be more successful and in helping owners get the best results they can. There have been hundreds of cases where we have made the right change at the right time that leads to better results for the business and the people in it. That’s where I find my passion.
