GM Ready is the interactive course for the office half of the general manager job: the P&L, GP, forecasting, labour, paperwork and UK law. Learn it, practise it, and walk into your GM interview knowing the answers.
You learned the floor by doing it: guests, team, service, a full book on a Saturday. The other half of the job you picked up by accident, if at all. Stock takes. Rotas against a labour target. VAT, tronc and the Tips Act. Licences, risk assessments, right to work.
That back half is what GM interviews test, what owners judge you on, and what decides your bonus. GM Ready teaches it one idea at a time, with real UK numbers, worked examples and the follow-up questions interviewers actually ask.
A dish sells for £19.50. The plate costs £4.80. What's the GP?
The common wrong answer is 75.4%. It counts the government's VAT as your money. Every lesson in GM Ready works like this: you answer first, then see why.
Finish each part and you're promoted. Your rank, progress and XP save to your account on any device.
A plain-English point, a picture, a worked example, the common mistake, and the follow-up questions interviewers ask.
Recall questions and service checks in every module. A wrong answer gets a hint first, then the explanation.
Break-even, true cost of labour, par levels, forecasts, covers vs spend, dish costing, holiday, sick pay and more.
Enter your own figures once. They appear inside 18 model interview answers, ready to practise out loud.
Forecast, labour planner, dish costing and stock take spreadsheets, plus a GM CV template.
Clear every ticket and print a certificate of completion with your name.
Work through it in order or jump to what you need. Modules 1 and 2 are free to try.

No, on purpose. Every lesson is short, interactive reading with worked examples, calculators and questions. It's quicker to study on your phone between shifts, and you have to think, not just watch.
No. It's written for supervisors and assistant managers who know the floor. It starts from what a GM owns and builds up from there.
