Food and beverage provides Clubs with substantial competitive advantages:

  • Positive Business Case. A well-performing F&B venue can translate into a substantial revenue stream for Clubs. 

  • Point of Difference. Hospitality and food & beverage service can be the differentiator that advances a good Club experience to an exceptional one. The ability to get it right in food and beverage can underpin a Club's individuality, attracting in-demand membership and increased visitation. In a crowded market, where Clubs vie for attention, a superior F&B offering becomes a key aspect of distinguishing one Club from another.

The successful centres around the globe are focussing on three key components. One point that we cannot express enough is that what was once a stock-standard formula for creating a mall that satisfied is no longer. Every community, every customer, every space in a different suburb, city or country demands something different and knowing exactly what that is is pivotal to the development and success of a centre. However, these three components are proving to be a common thread in the malls that are standing out from the crowd and defining them as ‘more than just a mall’.
