Save money, order direct
It’s always been important to control costs when running a pub, bar or restaurant, but at the moment, with inflation making everything you need to run the place more expensive there has never been a better time to re-assess how you purchase your stock.
CGA’s recent Business Confidence Survey makes for stark reading - two in three venues (71%) seeing significant increases in energy costs, with six in ten (60%) experiencing significant food and drink price inflation. Let alone the increasing cost of labour & the looming threat of reduced spend per head as inflation bites into the consumer’s pocket. For us here at Sellar, this paints a pretty clear picture, if you aren’t already on top of your spending on stock, now is the time to be. And we can help.
As other needs hit consumer’s wallet, they’re accepting that they may need to go out less frequently. However, most of your customers don’t want to sacrifice the quality of their drink when they come into your venue, they don’t want to lose the experience of those premium and craft drinks they’ve come to know and love. There are still plenty of drinkers who are going to want to trade up from budget options to premium.
To help keep your range fresh, and help you get the best price for your stock purchases you can use Sellar to your advantage.
