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.

Make a Moment of It: Be the Experience Diners and Shoppers Want to Buy

Restaurant management platform, SevenRooms has been exploring the shift in consumer needs when it comes to dining out and the results have just come through in their recent report “Turning a Meal Into an Experience” to define exactly what hospitality can focus on to gain customer loyalty. With the focus shifting from food alone to an all-encompassing experience, understanding the key points that enhance or deflate an experience are key.
