Breweries should always be thinking about growth, even if they’re not immediately looking to expand. We see a lot of small businesses in general get caught up on, where can we save money? How can we pinch this penny? When what they really need to be thinking about is instead of saving, how can we make more income? Because we can't save anything if we're not making anything.
We often talk with managers about how improving the efficiency of their operations; i.e., receiving orders and fulfilling them in the least costly way can be a damper on the high inflation we’re all experiencing. But sometimes those messages get lost in the sauce. It’s much simpler to focus on more direct and obvious ways of reducing restaurant inflation impacts, like menu engineering, and price increases.
Our CEO and Co-Founder recently talked with the Behind Company Lines Podcast where he talked about our design philosophy around restaurant and kitchen operations; i.e., as one part factory and another part artist’s studio. Because personal service is wonderful when it’s available, but disappointing when it’s not. Most of us go out with hopes that we’ll be taken care of, but it’s important that operators give guests the ability to take care of themselves if no server is available.
A lot of brewers start out as an avocation. Say, an entrepreneur has a successful exit and takes some of those earnings and starts their passion project of starting a brewery. That’s actually the way that GoTab got started. Our CEO, Tim McLaughlin, started his brewery after many years as a successful e-commerce entrepreneur.
According to the Wall Street Journal, the leisure and hospitality sector is hiring at a significantly higher rate than other business sectors. It’s positive news for the sector, but also presents a challenge for restaurants and hotels: how to find hospitality staff and then, how to quickly get them onboarded and serving guests.
