Get your Hospitality Booster Here!

Challenging does not really cover it… In the last few years, the hospitality industry has had to react, change plans and change their business model more than most.

From talking to lots of owners of cafés, street food businesses, pubs with food, restaurants, and coffee shops we hear that they have been adapting and changing so much that they are not sure of some of their foundations anymore.

Get together with others in hospitality in a free live, online session (so we don’t keep you from being in your business a minute longer than we can avoid) to join a discussion and ask your questions of our panel of industry experts who have been working with hospitality businesses before and during the Pandemic and can share their tried and tested ways to get your business back into strong, healthy growth.

Here’s a flavour of what you can expect to get in our super strength session:

  • Taking control of costs – labour, ingredients and utilities are all going up what can you do to take control and keep yourself on track for your goals?
  • Keeping an eye on your margins – what are your margins on your menu and how does that balance out across the week? Have you checked them since VAT went back on? Where can you boost them and what could help you get better margins?
  • Controlling and reducing wastage – how can you be more sustainable without taking a hit elsewhere?
  • Finding and retaining staff – how can you attract, motivate and reward people without getting into a race for who pays most?

Our industry experts are:
