for Pub & Hotel Outlets

We know that 2020 has been a difficult year for the hospitality sector thanks to COVID19.  While during the summer, hospitality outlets were able to take advantage of the government’s incentives towards staycationing and eating out this is no longer an option as people begin to stay put for the colder winter months. In addition, the ongoing uncertainty means that we’re far from free of the economic impacts of the pandemic on hospitality hotspots. With all that in mind, it’s important that pubs & hotels are doing everything they can to look for menu solutions that are not only going to excite customers coming through the door, but also increase spend per head.
