2023 is now underway and, according to a new consumer report, it’s going to be a busy year for events in the hospitality sector!
The team at Servaclean has put together a checklist of five things to help you prepare for the year ahead:
Bar Planning
The first quarter of the year is often the time when we plan for the rest of the year, with many venues hoping to host one or more events in 2023.
Why not use this time to ensure any new or existing bar areas are ready for when your footfall starts to ramp up? If you are considering an upgrade to your current bar facility in 2023, one of Servaclean’s Bar Planners can help you assess the possibilities for improvement, provide a complimentary
BARPlan bar design service and show you what can be achieved.
Parties in Spring
Spring is often a busy time, and with the additional bank holiday in May for the coronation of King Charles III, it is going to be even busier! Some of the events being planned include birthday parties, holiday celebrations, anniversaries, social events, and weddings. Why not consider a Servaclean mobile bar to help cope with the increased demand?
Venues with Options
According to the same survey, a venue that can provide multiple options for an event such as a dance floor, outdoor space, DJ, lounge, etc, are high on the priority list. If you have been contemplating a second bar for outside, this could give you a huge advantage and Servaclean can assist you in making sure it adds real value to your venue, both for your staff and for your customers.
Food & Drink
More and more customers want hassle-free events, so if you can provide catering onsite, or work with a third party, you are sure to enhance your offering. Street food and appetisers are often enough, most customers are not expecting a sit-down meal. You could also make your drinks selection more attractive by investing in a Servaclean cocktail station.
Technology
Your customers want the whole process to be seamless and this is where technology comes in. Making it easier for your customers to place their food and drink orders is one of the key drivers in providing a positive customer experience. Can your customers place orders from their table via an App?
Having the right technology in the right place can save time and staffing costs – something as simple as having order input screens and card payment devices positioned in the correct place on the bar counter can make a world of difference to serving efficiency.
Now might be the time to check your drinks prep operation is up to scratch, so you can deal with increased orders coming in thick and fast and keep your customers coming back for ‘just one more’!
Investment in your bar will ensure you can cope with customer numbers and new drinks trends, giving your customers an event to remember for all the right reasons!
