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.
