Why Listen to Me?
Hi, my name is Stuart Takehara.
I’ve spent 20+ years in hospitality, with a focus on sales and marketing.
I worked for water parks, theme parks, entertainment centers, casinos, movie theaters, high end athletic clubs and spas.
- I’ve owned bars.
- I’ve owned convenience stores.
- I’ve owned service businesses and digital businesses.
I’ve hired, fired, fixed, and flipped brick-and-mortar shops that were bleeding money and barely holding on.
I’ve also worked in high-pressure environments most consultants wouldn’t survive;
I’ve seen what works, what fails, and what actually gets customers to come back.
This isn’t theory. This is what I’ve lived through, just like you.
-
Payroll due Friday, cash not in the bank.
-
Broken plumbing at 6pm on a Saturday.
-
Yelp extortion disguised as a “review.”
-
Staff no-showing right before the rush.
-
A vendor shorting your delivery, then ghosting you.
-
Customers who say “I’ll think about it” and never come back.
-
And slow seasons that feel like slow deaths.
But I’ve overcome these obstacles and came out stronger on the other side.
I built EdgeUp to hand you the same tactics that helped me survive, fix, and grow real businesses.
