Hello and welcome
to the November issue of Venue Insight Magazine, the MUST HAVE publication for the UK hospitality industry.
Here we go then, the Christmas countdown is on. Mariah Carey and Michael Bublé have dusted themselves off and are getting ready to do it all again. Venues throughout the land should now be geared up for the festive season and the crucial revenue that it yealds.
It’s time to get your wine serving operation under control as over pouring and lack of portion control leads to reduced profit margins. We hear from Sally McGill, Commercial Director at Enomatic UK – The world leader in wine preservation and dispensing technology, pouring over 40 million glasses of wine every year.
Staying with wine for a moment, our friends at Lanchester Wines share some interesting facts to help you really get under the skin of one of the nation’s favourite tipples – the marvellous Malbec. Wine is the UK’s favourite alcoholic drink, with more than eight in every 10 drinkers opting for vino. And, 38% of us will pick a full-bodied red, such as a Malbec.
We round up our preview of Restaurant & Bar Tech Live - Europe's leading event for the technologies driving the profits of restaurants & bars. Taking place on the 19th & 20th of November at the ExCeL London it brings together 15,000 restaurant and bar operators actively looking to streamline their operations, enhance their efficiency and improve customer experience!
Be sure to hit the right note this Christmas! Playing music in your business at Christmas need not mean you have to stick to tradition. You could dare to be different and choose not to play any seasonal music at all; sticking to your regular choices. Whatever music you choose to play this festive season, remember to make sure you are correctly licensed to play music to your customers and employees.
Brockmans the gin ‘Like No Other’ bring us two martinis, one featuring chocolate and the other coffee. Whether these are served early in the evening to set the sophisticated and fun tone of the night ahead, or to sensuously complete a perfect night for your guests, these cocktails are bound to please.
