HRBUniversal is proud to announce the launch of our newest media venture: The “ Mise En Place (MEEZ-ahn-PLAH) ” Culture First Podcast . In the culinary world, mise en place means "everything in its place." It is the invisible infrastructure behind every flawless service. We believe the exact same principle applies to leadership. Designed specifically for hospitality owners, operators, and managers, this podcast explores a fundamental truth: organizational safety, compliance, and operational excellence begin and end with you. When leadership establishes a non-negotiable standard for excellence, that culture naturally trickles down to frontline staff, transforming the day-to-day environment. The Pillars of a "Culture First" Operation Each week, we move beyond superficial management trends to dissect the core regulatory and cultural pillars that protect your brand, reduce liability, and optimize your workforce. Our deep-dive episodes and multi-week masterclass series provide actionable strategies across critical areas: Food Safety & Quality Assurance: Moving past the health inspection checklist to build an active managerial control system that safeguards your guests and your reputation. Responsible Alcohol Service: Implementing robust training and mitigation strategies to manage liability, ensure guest safety, and protect your liquor license. OSHA Regulations & Workplace Safety: Navigating complex federal and state compliance mandates to eliminate workplace hazards and cultivate an accident-free environment. Labor Relations & Fair Practices: Staying ahead of evolving labor laws, fair wage standards, and scheduling regulations to minimize legal exposure. Human Resources & People Culture: Crafting an ecosystem that attracts, develops, and retains top-tier talent, effectively neutralizing high turnover rates. Comprehensive Regulatory Compliance: A holistic approach to local, state, and federal oversight, ensuring your business stays ahead of changing legislation. The Bottom Line: A culture built on non-negotiable operational standards doesn't just mitigate risk—it drives efficiency, boosts employee morale, stabilizes retention, and ultimately delivers a more predictable, profitable bottom line.

The hospitality landscape is shifting fast—from AI-driven checkout engines to new profit models in food and beverage. Here is your executive briefing on today’s top industry headlines: LODGING & DISTRIBUTION: Google expands its AI Mode search interface, introducing direct in-app hotel checkout. While major chains leverage instant integration, independent operators face a growing distribution gap and must audit their dynamic rate schemas to capture direct bookings. Plus, Constellation Hotels names Neil Jacobs CEO of its new luxury unit, and Hilton appoints Kolin Pound as Area President for CALA. F&B REVENUE STRATEGY: Counter culture is back! Operators are leaning into high-margin bar seating and streamlined 1-page micro-menus to fight rising overheads. On the bar side, functional adaptogens, matcha, and premium Ready-To-Drink (RTD) options are taking center stage. FINANCIALS & AGENTIC COMMERCE: Target Hospitality launches a 14M share secondary offering alongside a $30M stock repurchase plan, while Ryman Hospitality schedules Q3 earnings.

Every question we get asked before someone starts their trial.
If you have a concern about deliverability, AI quality, data privacy, or whether this will actually work for your specific situation, it's probably answered below.
What is the difference between Founder Solo and Founder Pro?
Founder Solo gives you 50 AI pitches per month using the credit model (Standard pitches cost 1 credit, Enriched pitches cost 2). Founder Pro raises that to 200 credits per month and adds full Booking Probability access, unlimited Magic Match, Apollo enrichment credits, and data export capabilities. Both plans use the same credit system, so you can stretch your monthly budget further by using Standard-mode drafting.
How do agency tiers work?
Agency tiers have no base fee. You pay per managed client and per talent profile. Agency Standard is $199 per client per month; Agency Pro is $399 per client per month. Both add $39 per talent profile per month. Your own team's user seats are always free.
What is a talent profile?
A talent profile represents one person (founder, executive, or spokesperson) you are booking onto podcasts. It includes their bio, topics, headshots, and outreach history. Team plans include 5 profiles; agency plans are pay-as-you-go.
Can I switch plans later?
Yes, at any time. Upgrades take effect immediately; downgrades apply at the end of the current billing period. Contact support if you need help migrating between plan families.
Do you offer a free trial?
Every paid plan includes a 15-day free trial. Your card is saved at signup but you will not be charged until day 16. Cancel any time from your dashboard.
What happens if I cancel?
You keep access until the end of your current billing period. No charges after that. Your data is retained for 30 days in case you reactivate.
Is the 20% annual discount automatic?
Yes. Select Annual on the pricing toggle and the discounted price is applied automatically at checkout. The annual price shown is the full year cost.
What if I have more than 50 profiles or 20 clients?
That is our Enterprise tier. Contact our sales team and we will build a custom plan with volume pricing, a dedicated account manager, and SLA guarantees.
