The Venue
Victorian heritage. Progress Pride flag. Trans-owned since day one.
The shot that sells every sponsorship deck.
Karaoke stage. 150-person ground floor. Rainbow Z logo.
Pink ceiling, wisteria, Z stage. This is the brand.
VIP flower wall. Brand activation space. Currently unmonetised.
Full nightclub underneath. Purple bar. Second revenue floor.
DJ setup. Love is Love. Thursday/Friday club nights launching.
No Pride Without Protest. Trans Rights. The identity is real.
ZODIAC rainbow mirror. Pink walls. Dignity-first quick win.
Blocked Victorian windows. Unblocking = natural light + kerb appeal.
Original Victorian stained glass. Amber florals. Heritage asset.
Dojo POS live. Every transaction tracked. Staff performance visible.
What's Broken
Founder's Trap
Jade does everything. Creative + ops + admin. Unsustainable. VIP energy locked in a spreadsheet.
Zero Visibility
No data on who comes, what sells, what works. Flying blind. Can't measure impact. Can't repeat wins.
Revenue = Drinks Only
No sponsorship, no partnerships, no grants, no digital. Single point of failure. One bad month breaks the budget.
Who Fixes It
Jade // Lady Phoenix
Founder → VIP PR Lead
Brand vision. Cultural storytelling. Community trust. Off the admin grind. Doing what only she can do.
Simon Williams
Fractional CEO
Data architecture. Revenue systems. CRM strategy. Grant applications. Accountability. Skin in the game.
Dee
Admin Lead
Digital bookkeeping. Dojo integration. Daily ops. Paper to digital. Systems that stick.
