The outcomes include the introduction of reduced and new offerings across all outlets, along with the design of updated bar menus featuring detailed descriptions, specifications, and pricing.

 

A comprehensive cost price master list covering over 2,000 PLUs was created and reorganised, with pricing adjustments made to enhance gross profit margins (GPMs) resulting in a significant 27% increase in gross profit percentage (GP%).

 

Additionally, POS systems (ALOHA) were updated and reorganised, logistics and layouts were improved for new outlets, and a new team and culture were established, leading to an increase in average spend per customer.

THE BRIEF

Provide mentorship to the management team, fostering a successful culture, boosting sales, cutting costs, and introducing new systems and procedures. Develop innovative menus and strategies for sustained success.

OUR SOLUTION

Our solution encompassed multiple facets to ensure comprehensive improvement. We conducted a business assessment to identify untapped opportunities and presented commercial solutions that outwitted the competition. Collaborating with the management team at Sycamore Bar, we maximised organisational potential through effective design and engagement.

 

We assessed the brand’s market position and effectiveness, enhancing the tracking of core and tactical activities. We then developed a strategy that integrated drinks menu planning and menu engineering. Additionally, we identified gaps in systems and processes to improve advocacy and ensure guest satisfaction.

 

By monitoring performance monthly, we provided exclusive benchmarked data and insights, significantly enhancing productivity and efficiency.
