Connecting great Clubs with great Food and ...

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.

Vegan & Vegetarian meat substitutes and the potential health risks of these food types

Generally speaking, vegetarian and vegan lifestyles can be extremely healthy when eating a plant-based diet full of wholefoods, fruits, vegetables, grains, nuts, legumes etc. Recently, however, there has been an influx of a wide variety of new vegan and vegetarian processed products that do not provide consumers with all of the health benefits you might expect from adhering to a meat-free diet. It is important to ensure that you read the back of the package to really understand what is packed into these faux meat processed foods that may negatively impact on consumer’s health.

Will Guidara, one of the owners of Eleven Madison Avenue in New York, has been quoted as saying that it’s “compassion and passion [that] gives a fantastic dining experience.”

As every successful restaurateur will tell you, passion is the reason that they started their venture in the first place. It’s what continues to drive their activities. But passion alone can only take you so far.

Jay Rayner, the UK food critic, has recently written that he, “does not regard the table primarily as a place of nutrition. That’s just something which, happily, comes with the territory. It’s a place of joy.”

The Digital Foodscape

Whilst the hospitality industry might be protected from the impact of technology, it is still important that we are across how consumers are using technology as it plays a major role in how customers are making their decision on where and what they spend their food dollars on. 

The Digital Foodscape is the language of Millennials (the foodie generation) and Gen Z (the MasterChef generation). They read menus on their phones, choose items based on the photos they’ve seen and share their experiences with friends via their own social media platforms.
