Every business has it's own story, challenges and ambitions"

Running an independent hospitality business takes dedication, resilience, and an incredible amount of hard work. Through the NCASS x .local series, we've had the privilege of meeting some of the people behind these businesses; the ones taking risks, showing up every day, and creating spaces, experiences, and opportunities for their communities.

As we look back on the series, we'd like to thank everyone who shared their stories and welcomed us behind the scenes. It's been a privilege to shine a light on the passion, creativity, and determination that make this industry so inspiring.

What does it really take to turn a pop-up into a thriving independent restaurant?

In the latest episode of the NCASS x Indi Local series, we visit Sam from Koba-Ko Upstairs to hear the reality behind building an independent food business from the ground up.

From taking the leap into a permanent site to navigating the day-to-day challenges of hospitality, Sam shares how having the right support network around him has made all the difference. From risk assessments and training to HR guidance and customer support, NCASS has helped give him the confidence to focus on growing the business, while being part of a strong local independent hospitality community has helped everyone thrive together.

If you’re building your own independent business and wondering how to take the next step, this is a short video worth watching.

There is no doubt corporate events can bring something many traders are looking for right now - predictable revenue and guaranteed demand.

But here’s the thing… it’s not about choosing one over the other. It’s about having the right tools to make every pop-up count 🌟

From letting customers know where to find you, to building a loyal following, to getting orders in before you even start service - small changes can make a big difference 📱

That’s exactly what we’ve been building towards with Indi Local. More visibility, more control, and a bit more certainty in what can feel like a pretty unpredictable landscape.
