Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about this service.

Should I add craft beer to my range?

It depends on your customer base. We analyse your local market and current customers to recommend the right balance of craft, premium, and mainstream. Adding craft for the sake of it can backfire if the demand is not there.

How do I increase my wet margin?

The biggest levers are usually range optimisation (stocking the right mix), pricing strategy (strategic increases on less price-sensitive categories), and wastage reduction. We typically find 3-5% margin improvement is achievable.

Are quiz nights still worth running?

Done well, yes. A good quiz consistently drives 30-50 extra covers on a quiet night. The key is consistency, quality, and building it into a habit for regulars.
