Myself, the company manager and the owner all recently met, to discuss new ideas we had regarding the company in 2009. We all agreed that due to the current credit crunch within the u.k, changes are vital if we are going to continue operating successfully.
The first change I suggested was to alter the current menu, in order to make it better value for money. Although this is difficult to do, I felt we good still supply quality products at reduced prices. In the end we agreed to draft a new menu which included a special 'winter warmer' section, where customers could enjoy a two course meal for only £7.50. We hope this menu will attract more customers throught the winter months.
Another main issue we discussed was the option of taking over another Golf club that has recently become available within the area. We already provide cateering for penmaenmawr golf club and our reputation has meant another club has approached us. Although this would be a fantastic source of extra income, the amount of extra work would be staggering. The boss eventually decided that we should visit this new potential club and then decide whether or not we would be able to run it successfully, without it effecting our other businesses.
The main topic had been how we can cut costs without letting any empoloyees go. Other ideas I raised were looking at different food suppliers and ending our current contract with Calsberg. I did some research which proved that we could save hundreds of pounds by simply buying our alcohol from a local supplier, which did not require a contract agreement. This particular idea seemed to please my boss greatly and his has already arranged a meeting with the local supplier in question to discuss price lists.
