You know AI matters, but you just haven’t found a way in yet. And, honestly, asking can feel a bit daunting, right? Well, this session is for you.
AI, Together is a small, friendly group for Enterprise Nation members who are new to AI and would rather explore it with good company than on their own.
What it is
A relaxed monthly get-together where we chat, share what we’ve tried and ask questions. You can turn your camera on or keep it off, or you can dive in or just listen. Both are completely fine.

Most people go into hospitality chasing a dream – their own place, their own kitchen, their name above the door.
What nobody tells them is how much discipline and structure that dream actually requires.
This session is for anyone thinking of opening a café or restaurant, going into partnership, or investing in hospitality – as well as owners already a year or two in, feeling the gap between the dream and the reality.
Drawing on 35 years of running restaurants across the UK, Turkey and South Africa, Murat Yilmaz shares the real, practical signs that separate a business that thrives from one that quietly becomes a trap – and what the first 90 days should actually look like.
Topics covered in this session
- The seven things every food and drink business needs in place to run properly
- How to spot the early warning signs that a business is heading the wrong way, while there’s still time to change course
- What the first 90 days should look like
