What do you do during the seasonal drop in sales? Both of our locations are in tourist towns, we have high summer traffic and crazy low winter sales. We opened Joes on the Beach at the end of September and by mid October we could see that we would need to do something to drive bums in seats. Even if we managed the costs, had we not done something we would not have made it through the winter. Our very first event was lobsterfest ( I know rather predictable but it did the trick) Even better was what this did to our cheque average. So we knew that given what we knew about sales trends in town that we would be ok over Christmas, but e would need to do something in January. What we learned from lobster was that we would need to find a low food cost item to create an event around. What we create was Autobahn, Where Joe’s does a tour of German food + Drink. It was so popular that this year is our 2nd annual event. Low food cost, high traffic resulted in cash flow and happy staff. #localbusiness #lobsterfest #event

The Power of Networking 🌐 One of the greatest career accelerators is building meaningful connections. Whether you’re just starting out or are a seasoned professional, the relationships you create can open doors to opportunities you may not have seen coming. Here’s what I’ve learned: Listen more than you speak: Everyone has a story and experience that can teach you something. Add value: Offer your help or insight before seeking something in return. Follow up: A simple “It was great meeting you” message can go a long way in maintaining connections. Let’s keep growing and learning from each other. 🤝 Karen Melonie Gould #Networking #CareerGrowth #ProfessionalDevelopment #BuildingConnections

It's Fieldays week! If you can squeeze in the time, then I encourage you all to visit. I have a deep connection (past Board member, Innovations judge - and more...). But regardless of the past, I get such a kick out visiting each year. First, seeing this years' innovations - the gift that keeps growing (puns always intended). Clever people and technology adding value to NZInc. As a patent attorney it is particularly gratifying to see the commercial version of what you first came across as a raw concept, and as an IP strategist, it is such a pleasure to see how inventors and companies position themselves. Next, I am reminded how we are all interconnected in the Agritech space and how it underpins NZ's economic fabric. We all depend upon and support each other. Last - mussel fritters! Need I say more... See you there.
Thinking of making the most of ‘industry days’, Wednesday and Thursday at Fieldays – why not purchase a VIP Business Plus Ticket? Event access on Wednesday and Thursday, VIP parking and access to the fully inclusive Business Lounge, where you can step away from the hustle and bustle, take a call, return an email or grab a bite to eat out of the chilly June weather. #fieldaysforbusiness #fieldaysnz #corporatebox

Good news for the trade and good read from oxford-partnership. Strong St Patrick's Weekend Boosts UK On Trade! The celebrations for the St Patrick’s Day weekend started on Friday and continued through to the day itself on Sunday the 17th with sales across the 3 days up +3.3% versus the same weekend in 2023. In addition to this, the weekend was +11% up versus every other weekend in 2024 thus far, which was a real result for the hospitality industry that has struggled to see any real momentum as yet this year. The weekend drove a total of 27m pints of draught beer and cider with c.4.5m pints of stout consumed across the 3 days. Overall, the trade saw strong growth in Ale, Cider, Stout and World Lager as consumers celebrated the ‘craic’ with friends and family.

Hospitality specialist leading a team that gives you direct, actionable insight for meaningful change
Let’s pause for thought on Pepper Lunch… Those of us in Asia might be a bit more familiar with a brand born in Japan with stores across the region. The reason I’ve been mentioning them more frequently is not just because Troy Hooper is an all star CEO leading their North American business but Pepper Lunch is hitting the right notes on both consumer and operator levels 🎯 Bullseye on consumer demand for freshness - cooking at your table is as fresh as it gets 🎯 oomph on consumer demands for customisation hits the spot ✅ Simple operations with a combination of proprietary technology and low skill requirements ✅ Kit format elements to ensure menu execution is repeatable with labor challenges The North American leadership team have injected high levels of energy and positivity into the business along with their depth of expertise. The market is tough but a combination of consumer centricity on experience and operator simplicity on execution is without doubt the common denominator of those winning right now
CEO who values the perspective of all who are willing to unite to exceed expectations. Driven to bring value every day.
#4?!? WHAAAT?!?! I have truly never been more shocked in my entire life! Pepper Lunch Restaurants has been not only named a Fast Casual Top 100, but was ranked by a committee of trade press, industry vendors, and brand executives as #4 among the 2024 class! 15 months ago almost no one in the industry had heard of our incredible brand of 30 years with 516 (463 then) locations in 15 countries. They certainly didn’t know we had been open in North America for 6 years with 7 stores. But today the industry certainly has said they see us, they are paying attention to what we are doing, and more importantly how we are doing it! This is acknowledgement that our teams insanely hard work is being noticed! That how is more important than how many! Congratulations to the entire global team for being the best, the most passionate, and the most consistent brand group I know! Thank you to the committee, this incredible community of leaders, and to our team who deserve this recognition for their hard work, dedication, and passion for the mission they bring everyday! Congratulations to so many of our friends who deservingly made the list and everyone who plays a part in making this community so amazing!
