If anyone knows the secrets of the hotel business, it's Pat McCann.

Pat McCann is the founder and CEO of the Dalata Hotel Group, Ireland's biggest of its kind, and has revealed how online booking sites don't give a true reflection of how many rooms are available in a hotel at any one time.

Speaking to host Tadhg Enright on JOE's The Architects of Business, in partnership with EY Entrepreneur Of The Year™, McCann revealed customers often feel pressured into making a booking when, in reality, plenty of rooms remain available.

His story is not one to miss.

As CEO of Keelings, arguably Ireland's largest fruit company, Caroline Keeling is at the forefront of Ireland's drive towards healthy eating.

What many people don't know, however, is that the woman who has taken the company built by her grandparents on to the global stage was diagnosed with dyslexia at a young age.

Caroline is this week's guest on The Architects of Business.

Liam LaHart has opened up on the skullduggery that he faced after opening up his first brewery.

The founder of the Porterhouse Brewing Company with his late cousin and business partner Oliver Hughes, LaHart has revealed the lengths bigger breweries would go to in order to kill off their first venture together, Harty's Brewery.

LaHart - who, along with Hughes, is credited with starting the popular craft beer movement in Ireland - revealed how his beer lines would be cut and bar owners would accept bribes in order to turn away his range of beers in the early days.

Norman is our guest this week on The Architects of Business, in partnership with EY Entrepreneur Of The Year™.

His story is fascinating...

Brian Lee, the Co-Founder of Chopped, has seen his empire stretch from three to 50 outlets in the space of just three years, and is our guest this week on The Architects of Business.

Still just 32-years-old, Lee tells host Tadhg Enright how he had his first business card at the age of 11 and ultimately set up Chopped with his friend Andy Chen, whom he had met when working in a Spar as a teenager.

With chicken fillet rolls at their most popular, Brian and Andy set out to do something different and bring good, wholesome food to the masses.

Ray Coyle is the man behind Mr. Tayto and Tayto Park, and is our guest this week on The Architects of Business, our new show in partnership with EY Entrepreneur Of The Year™.

Ray Coyle is one of Ireland's most iconic businessmen.

The former Meath farmer started out by growing the potatoes that would become Tayto crisps in 1980.

A year later, when he lost that contract and got into a situation where he owed the bank £1.2m, he came up with an ingenious solution to claw back the money and have enough left over to start his own business.

He would raffle off his farm.

This is his story...

“A harmless messer, always with that little bit of wanting to get on, have a go, and win.”

In terms of sheer determination to start his own business, few can match Cathal O’Connell’s single-mindedness.
