Join us and be informed!

The Restaurant Association, with the support of American Express and Nova Energy will be hosting a Southern Lakes MeetMe & member briefing on 26 June, 2.30-4pm at Fishbone, 7 Beach Street, Dunedin.

The Restaurant Association’s member briefings connect regional members to national experts on subjects important to your business.

This member briefing will be in three parts:

Part 1: 2.30pm - 2.45pm

Industry update, presented by the Restaurant Association

Part 2: 2.50pm - 3.30pm

Which numbers count – understanding industry benchmarks, presented by Liz Perkins, The Hospitality Company

All over New Zealand, restaurants, bars and cafés are haemorrhaging money through their cost of goods. The haemorrhage is happening for only a few reasons:

1. It’s not a sexy area of focus (unless you believe actual results are sexy)
2. Turn-over may be great – especially in terms of beverage which partially masks shocking food costs and …
3. the erroneous belief that the bleed can be out-traded … or sustained until food costs miraculously plummet.

None of this is difficult to get over – especially if the owner is brave enough to face the numbers. Liz will talk about the numbers that count and how you can ensure your hospitality business is profitable.

About Liz: Liz has worked in Hospitality for 19 years from kitchen hand, multi-site Operations Manager, SIT tutor and for the past 12 years as the owner of a prominent Hospitality business. Applying the processes taught by The Hospitality Company, Liz has created amazing and inspiring results. She now finds herself in demand as a mentor, teacher and coach within the industry of Hospitality and in the context of Business management and development.

Part 3: 3.30 - 4.00pm - Networking

We'll have food and drinks, so join us to catch up with local operators, as well as Restaurant Association your local Restaurant Association rep, Mike!
