Website
Design
Having a website
is like having
your restaurant
doors open 24
hours a day -
people can log
on at any time
to check your
menus, view images
of your restaurant,
opening hours,
specials offers
etc from the comfort
of their own house
or office. A significant
proportion of
people now do
their lifestyle
research online,
as it is so much
easier than ringing
up each restaurant
individually.
So if you have
not got a website
yet...you could
be losing business
to someone who
has.

Book
of the Month
How to run a successful pub
Author Mark S. Elliott has spent 25 years working in various management
roles within the tenanted and leased divisions of the UK's largest
breweries and pub companies. His extensive knowledge and day-to-day
involvement with pubs and publicans make him well qualified to know what is
required to run a successful pub. He shares his knowledge and many 'insider
tips' with you in this book.
This is aimed at people coming into the industry for the first time. But because it so comprehensively ticks off just about everything debutants need to know, existing licensees might also find it useful. It could prove invaluable for filling in those gaps in knowledge or perhaps finding out where they might be going wrong if things aren’t quite working out as well as they planned.
