Stop Blaming, Start Earning: Revolutionizing F&B Revenue

Restaurant Dining

It's time for a mindset shift in the food and beverage (F&B) industry. 

With many restaurants closing,  we've defaulted to blaming high rental costs and inflation for shrinking margins. Using reverse thinking,  what if we flipped the script and focused intently on revenue generation instead?

The predictability of average spend is a trap, and acquiring new clients may be difficult and costly. Instead of passively accepting it, let's actively manage your covers and, more importantly, drive up our average check. Imagine the impact of adding just $2 to each cover. For a busy restaurant, that could easily translate to an extra thousand Dollars a year!

How to Boost Your Bottom Line, focusing on growing your average check?

Empower Your Team

Your staff are your frontline sales force. You should share the financial objectives to them. Invest in comprehensive training that goes beyond order-taking. Teach them effective selling techniques, product knowledge, and the art of suggestive selling. Staff engagement and behavior are key to unlocking this potential. When your team is bought in and confident, it shows in every interaction, directly impacting average spend.

Strategic Guest Engagement

Focus on guest acquisition and cultivate genuine loyalty. Happy, returning customers are your most valuable asset. Understand their preferences and tailor experiences that encourage them to spend more over time. This consistent focus on average spend across all guests is what truly moves the needle.

Digital with a Difference

A digital menu is just a tool. It won't magically lead to higher spending if it's merely a list of items. Leverage your digital platforms to offer selling suggestions, share captivating stories about your dishes, and highlight premium options. Make it an experience, not just a transaction.
