?????????????? ?????????????? has been making waves recently, with operators like O’Neill’s facing scrutiny for introducing peak-time price increases, such as a ￡?? ?????????????????? ???? ???????????? ?????????? ???????? at certain sites. This conversation about ?????????????? ?????????????? got us thinking: while some operators are experimenting with price adjustments in real-time, others remain far from dynamic in their approach to pricing. The chart pictured is from a presentation by our Business Development Director, Mark Bentley, at the Excellence in Pub & Bar Retailing Conference earlier this year. It shows how differently operators have managed inflation when pricing a pint of Carling. The variations are striking: from ??????????-??????????????, ????????-???????????? ?????????????????????? ???? ???????????????????? ?????????? to broader, one-size-fits-all approaches - and notable differences in the size of price increases across operators. At Hospitality Data Insights (HDI), we advocate for a ????????-?????? ???????????????? ???? ??????????????. By combining: ? ???????????????????? ?????????? ???????? from over 18,000 venues ? ???????????????? ???????????????? ???????????????? from 10.2 million people tracking site-by-site behaviour We help operators refine their pricing strategies: ?? ???????????????? ???????????? and reduce discounts in locations where customers are less price-sensitive ?? ???????????? ???????????????????? to sites where price sensitivity is highest With ???????????? ?????????????? ?????????????? ???? ?????????? ????????, getting pricing right will be critical. Operators can’t afford to leave value on the table—or risk alienating customers. If you’d like to explore how we can support your pricing strategy, we’d love to help. ?????? ???? ??????????: [email protected]
