Episode Summary
Episode Four: Why is every pub maroon?
In this fourth episode of the Pinnicast, Michael shares the surprising ease of his technical setup, including a modern switchboard that avoids common startup nightmares. The conversation dives deep into the psychology of pub branding - explaining why maroon remains the industry’s most trusted colour - and the financial burden of bank guarantees for small business owners. Leon raises the concept of "temptation bundling," proposing a "Productive Pints" initiative to encourage community planning at the pub. Additionally, the duo discuss the removal of the live music stage to prioritise a high-quality dining experience, as well as focusing on the meticulous details that cater to the most discerning 2% of patrons.
