Senior Vice President of Venue Management
From ground breaking to grand opening, SFC’s proven process is designed to open your facility on time, on budget, and on pace for an incredible first year. We’ll build an operation ready to deliver long term performance – by your team or ours.
While your sports, recreation, or events facility is being built, so too, should your business. The 12-18-month start-up time period prior to grand opening is one of the most critical phases in development. Clients choose SFC for Start-Up Operational Development services because of our extensive experience (90+ facilities), our pre-opening business development and marketing results, and to tap into the SF Network of talent, process, and leadership.
During Start-Up, SFC leads team development so your staff is recruited, hired, and trained, your brand and marketing systems are set up and activated, HR, legal, risk, finance, maintenance, and other systems are implemented, tournaments are booked and the grand opening celebration is planned. Proficient project and process management, leadership, and problem-solving are necessary to ensure each step is executed at the right time, by the right team members.
Using the SFC Operational Timeline, our team executes each task, process, and project so that the facility opens on time, on budget, and on brand. What’s more, you maintain control of your asset. With SFC’s service model, we report to our clients with full transparency and control. We become a well-oiled extension of your team to serve your community and future guests/customers.
