Our 3 part series shows how operators can ramp up profits before June 21st
The reopening of the hospitality industry has been welcomed with open arms by the UK public as we increasingly see people turn to food and drink to lift their spirits. CGA data shows that like-for-like sales at pubs, bars, and restaurants that were trading in the seven days from 12th April were 45% higher than in the week from 4th July 2020[1], which is a really encouraging start to re-opening.
In addition, research from twc shows that 34% of people suggest they will go back to hospitality outlets once they have received their two inoculations, and almost a quarter (24%) suggest they will return regardless of whether they have had the vaccines or not[2]. In this article, we look at how you can get operationally ready for opening indoors from 17th May and how Britvic can support you.

Safety is paramount to a successful re-opening. By following a few basic steps, you can ensure your customers are confident to return to your venue. For example, making sure hand sanitiser is easily accessible for customers and staff from the moment they first walk in and around the venue will help to make a huge difference.
