Why?
Consumers are leading more flexible lifestyles with remote working, part-time hours and staycations. By maximising the occasions for which a pub or bar can be used throughout the day, licensees can also maximise revenues. The ambience of the pub is the second most important reason for consumers choosing an outlet, so this cannot be overlooked. Consumers will order a second pint of cider or beer based on the quality of the first so maintaining and pouring consistent quality drinks is also key.
How?
Enhancing kerb appeal can remove any potential barriers or increase footfall into outlets. Providing free WiFi or different food offerings throughout the day can widen trading hours and bring in new consumers for new occasions. Communicating these offerings through outdoor signage or advertising this online are the simplest ways to maximise footfall. Maintaining and pouring consistent, quality cider and beer will also drive repeat custom.

Why?
Food is present at a third of all drinking occasions and this is growing. By using drinks and food together, this can deliver more value to the consumer whilst driving both footfall and repeat business .
