Choosing between golf initiatives and F&B is like choosing between tires and fuel for your vehicle. It's not really a choice. While there is no more meaningful dollar for a private club or public course than a golf/membership dollar, there are other "contribution dollars" that can be nearly as impactful. Merchandise sales can account for as little as 5% of total revenue, but those dollars are generally much higher margin than food, and can help carry December (if you're up North). F&B dollars can be narrower in margin (especially food) but help make the golf dollar possible with member dining and other on-course outlets. Plus, not all of your diners golf - but all of your golfers eat! A coordinated strategy of all your channels - golf/membership, events, F&B, merchandise (and more) is always the right gameplan. #golf #golfindustry #clubs #countryclubs #golfmarketing #hospitality #golfsolutions #compass360

If you live in the Upstate, how do you feel about smoke/vape free restaurants and public places! Let’s us know my filling out this short survey!

"That problem's on the other side," said the operator when I was asking about a concern that was a big more "F&B" than "Golf." I paused, curious. "Which side signs your paycheck?" I asked. While I am not sure they completely understood my rhetorical question, it was still a fair one. Golf/F&B. Sales/Operations. Grounds/Golf. Are there areas of concentration? Of course. But wouldn't you agree that having "sides" should never be aspirational. Golf provides our restaurants 25,000... 35,000 (or more) walk-by guests every year. Every restaurant guest is a potential event host, bride-to-be, or meeting planner. And that wedding guest or restaurant diner could be deciding to take a lesson or learn golf TODAY. Where should they go? Like our bodily systems are largely symbiotic and intertwined, so are our golf course's systems. One can either strengthen the other, or begin to kill it. #clubs #countryclubs #golf #golfindustry #golfconsulting

𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝒊𝒎𝒑𝒐𝒓𝒕𝒂𝒏𝒄𝒆 𝒐𝒇 𝒂 𝑹𝒆𝒔𝒆𝒓𝒗𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏 𝑺𝒚𝒔𝒕𝒆𝒎 𝒇𝒐𝒓 𝒚𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝑹𝒆𝒔𝒕𝒂𝒖𝒓𝒂𝒏𝒕 Here's a short story, we think Restaurant owners can learn from - It was a beautiful Saturday evening, and Sarah had been looking forward to trying out the new restaurant in town, Bistro Bliss, all week. She arrived at 7:30 PM, excited for a night out with her friends. But as she approached the hostess stand, she was greeted with a long line of people waiting to be seated. "Sorry, it's going to be a 30-minute wait," the hostess said, not even looking up from her clipboard. Sarah was disappointed but decided to wait, thinking it would be worth it. But as the minutes ticked by, the line barely moved. People were getting frustrated, and some even left in disgust. Just then, a group of 10 people walked in, having made a reservation weeks in advance. The hostess immediately seated them, while Sarah and the others continued to wait. Finally, after 45 minutes, Sarah's name was called. But by then, she was hungry and frustrated, and the experience had already been ruined. If only Bistro Bliss had a proper reservation system, Sarah thought, she could have enjoyed a stress-free dinner with her friends. Instead, she left feeling disappointed and unlikely to return. This story highlights the importance of a reservation system in restaurants. By allowing customers to book a table in advance, restaurants can manage their seating and workflow more efficiently, reducing wait times and ensuring a better experience for all customers. It's a simple solution that can make a big difference in customer satisfaction and loyalty.
