COUNTERTALK TO LAUNCH BRAND NEW PLATFORM COUNTERTALK SPACES

On Monday 27th June 2022, Countertalk will launch SPACES, a brand new platform built by hospitality experts to match pop-ups, events and chef residencies with dynamic and exciting venues. Designed to empower the industry and facilitate connections, SPACES will ultimately pave the way for meaningful relationships that lead to real world bookings.

SPACES features a growing list of incredible venues across the capital and beyond, including Mission Kitchen for all your prep or workshop needs, exciting design-led event spaces such as Iron Bloom, multi-use f&b venues such as Benk & Bo, street food destinations and more. In place of a process which has historically relied on word-of-mouth, SPACES provides full visibility on a digital platform, providing complete transparency on venue specifications such as floorplan, equipment, amenities and access hours, along with accompanying resources such as revenue calculator templates, planning sheets and more.

With best-in-class spaces also come best-in-class opportunities for f&b focused brand activations. In-house events and agency teams get the inside track, venues get the spotlight they deserve, and concepts get a platform to realise their dreams.

SPACES aims to demystify and streamline the process, enabling the hospitality community to plan a pipeline of activities, expanding their horizons outside of their direct network, and making valuable and meaningful connections that lead to real-world bookings.

The platform comes from the team behind Countertalk - the purveyor of positive work environments in hospitality - launched by pastry chef, author and presenter Ravneet Gill in May 2018, with the aim of connecting chefs, creating empowered community and promoting healthy work environments and equality for all in the workplace.

From multisite restaurant groups to pubs, wine bars and empty shell event venues looking to host one-off activities or launch the next big thing to their customers, SPACES provides the ability for venues to maximise their operational potential without any direct booking or transaction fees. SPACES is set to be the leading matchmaker for residents (pop-ups, residencies and temporary multi-purpose space users) and hosts (dynamic, exciting and varied venues).
