Just 1 week to go until our next all-client insights event, ‘Brands Away from Home’. We are really looking forward to welcoming everyone to LABS House and challenging the received wisdom around Brands in the foodservice and away-from-home market. Of course, there will be some ‘not-so-surprising’ tensions around price, but attitudes do feel different. The motivations to buy brands back-of-house vs. front-of-house are changing, as is the ‘level of access’ operators will give brands to help support their businesses. It’s all shifting and it’s all up for grabs. We look forward to sharing this New Brand Reality next Tuesday, and, as it’s the #Cateys that evening - we may string it out - present in black tie - and go straight onto the JW Marriott Grosvenor House London. Anything could happen. An early thanks ahead to the team at CGA by NIQ for their support on the project and, as a reminder, there will be a follow-up headlines session at the Arena the hospitality networking association Summer Event on 12th July. #b2bmarketing #foodtrends #brandsinb2b #brandinsights

🎊 📣 Milestone Alert🎊 📣 After months of grinding it out behind the scenes, we’re finally ready to unveil the new Bars.com website. 🆕 We know, we had some die-hard fans of our elusive, under-the-radar site (who doesn’t love a good mystery?), but the biggest question we’ve been asked is, “What is this all about?” And right behind that, “Why are you buying everyone a drink?” 🥂   So here’s the deal. Bars.com is The Experience Network™—the first digitally enabled experiential network and engagement platform that brings people together with the best brands at the most essential social spots in your city. We're talking real-world experiences that go way beyond the digital realm, creating authentic, measurable interactions that no algorithm alone can touch.   ‘Buying America a drink’ isn’t just a catchy idea—it’s our way of building something completely new. We’re giving brands a direct, meaningful way to connect like never before, creating more opportunities for the hospitality industry to flourish. And all of this leads to a better, more responsible way for consumers to discover and enjoy what’s out there.   To those who joined us early on this wild ride, thank you. And to those just discovering us now, welcome. We’re genuinely excited to share our new digital home for brands and venues. Brands can dive into how we’re buying America a drink, and venues can learn how we’re making it happen right at your place. 🚀  #cheers #mixology #hospitality Cheers!

🕯 What lights up your day? 🕯 For us, it's getting out into industry, making connections and facilitating debate. Our CEO Anita Murray chaired the latest Arena the hospitality networking association debate for Bolsius Group, gathering senior leaders from the hospitality and foodservice industry to discuss diner’s changing expectations when it comes to the eating out experience. 👀 As always, there was a lively debate. Here are the key takeaways: 💲 Customer satisfaction is paramount. Today's patrons seek authenticity and value for their spending. 🍺 As Jon Dale Dip CIPR, MCIPR of Punch Pubs & Co emphasised, maximising the customer experience is vital with many wanting more than a meal or drink. Dwell time is important, and the new expectation is to go to a venue and have a great time. 👥 Understanding the customer journey is key for venues, using both face-to-face interaction and digital feedback to improve the customer experience. The people component is still key, according to Craig Goslin of Vapiano Ambiance is an important contribution to the customer experience and customer loyalty. Candlelight is a small investment that relaxes guests, encouraging them to stay longer and spend more. Alexander Henskens, of The Royal Lancaster agreed that a warm welcome is key for venues. With guests using all their senses – sight, smell and sound – to gauge first impressions.   Thanks to Paul Christodoulou MIH and Tiemen Brouwer at Bolsius Group for allowing us to chair, Lorraine Wood for putting on the event, and Liz Hardman, Anna Balawejder, Shereen Ritchie, Alexander Henskens, and Lesley Tait for a lively debate. #HospitalityLeaders #CustomerExperience #Hospitality #Foodservice #Ambiance #Diningout
