💬 "Hospitality is a bit broken." In today's economic climate, restaurants must innovate or risk closing their doors. When the announcement broke that Alex Elliot-Howery would close the much-loved Cornersmith, the industry was shaken. Even we thought, "But they looked like they were killing it?" How wrong we were. With interest rate rises, the cost of goods at an all-time high, increasing rents, and staff wages pushing things to the limit, how do you 'stay calm and carry on'? In the midst of this crisis, what we love about this industry is its ability to band together. Now more than ever, it's time to come together, navigate the issues, and find solutions so there is light at the end of the tunnel for many. Hopefully, this will lead to much-needed change, whatever that looks like. We're thrilled to be part of this conversation and to be working with Nine and the #GoodFood team to deliver a series of symposiums in #Sydney and #Melbourne, focusing on the pressing challenges in the restaurant industry. As highlighted in the The Sydney Morning Herald, these symposiums are a crucial platform for leaders to tackle the future of hospitality, and best of all, they are FREE to attend. We are proud to be part of the team producing these events featuring an incredible lineup of speakers, including Alessandro Pavani, Huss Rachin, Palisa Anderson, Rebecca Fanning, Almay Jordaan, Charlie Carrington, Kate Reid and Leon Kennedy and Patrick Ryan-Parker. 🎤 We’re dedicated to supporting the hospitality industry by bringing together thought leaders and innovators to share their insights and solutions. 💬 Join the Conversation: What do you think is the most significant challenge facing the hospitality industry today? How can we innovate to overcome these hurdles? Let's find solutions together.

🔥🍖 Hitting the news this week was details of the new BBQ restaurant, Orleans Smokehouse, which Mitchells & Butlers PLC will be opening in Solihull on 19 February. What makes this launch even more fascinating is the fact that just one week later, Hickorys Smokehouse will be opening a new site in Earlswood, just 2.5 miles away from the inaugural Orleans Smokehouse site. 🏠👀 It’s easy to understand why M&B are keen to enter the smokehouse market. Average Transaction Values at Hickory’s are c.50% higher than those achieved at Harvester, and whilst the average visit frequency for Orleans Smokehouse may end up being slightly lower than the site achieved as a Harvester, the Average Customer Value per year should be significantly higher. We’ve seen time and again that consumers are prepared to pay for great experiences, and Hickory’s is a brand which absolutely delivers when it comes to “Value for Experience.” 💷🌟 A recent visit to Hickory’s Smokehouse in Derby (pictured) was one of my hospitality highlights of 2023 – incredible food, brilliant atmosphere and one of the best family-friendly hospitality environments we’ve experienced. It's easy to see why Hickory's is such a destination venue, and my 4-year-old daughter absolutely loved the fact that there was popcorn on arrival, a cinema room to keep her entertained while we waited for food and a great outdoor play area as well! 🎥🍿👨👩👧👦 It will be fascinating to see how these two new sites perform. M&B are very much the follower here, with Hickory’s achieving great success as a brand since its launch nearly 15 years ago. Having the new kid on the block and the established operator both opening in the same local market will make for some interesting analysis….something that I’ll be taking a look at using the Site Intel Pro online platform from Hospitality Data Insights (HDI) Feel free to get in touch if you’d like to understand more about the types of analysis that we can do looking at individual local markets and/or sites in-detail. 📊🔍 #HospitalityData #hospitalitysolutions #casualdining #ukhospitality 🍔🥩

I never understood the 'ghost kitchen' infatuation. At its heart, restaurants are all about hospitality. You can't succeed in the hospitality sector by being a nameless, faceless entity. You have to put the guest experience/human interaction first. Any executive or VC group that thought these kitchens would be easy money never had any understanding of hospitality. #GoodLuckHaveFun #hospitality #hospitalityindustry https://lnkd.in/g74YwdCp
