New book helps independent bars & restaurants compete against chains
London, UK (PRWEB UK) 15 August 2017 -- A new book to be published in August 2017 will help independent pub, bar and restaurant owners stay in business amidst growing competition from chains. The Five Star Formula, written by Joy Zarine, an experienced hospitality and marketing consultant, brings a rare feminine perspective to a predominantly male industry.
Published by Rethink Press, the book covers five main areas that many publicans and restaurateurs need to address if they are to stay in business and thrive: Clarity, Culture, Customers, Creativity and Commendations. The book encourages readers to think about the overall customer experience, paying particular attention to softer elements typically noticed by female clientele, which are often overlooked.
“Independent pubs, bars and restaurants are battling against a growing number of chains and need to do everything they can to stay in business. My book will help independents to think strategically about their business while giving them tangible, practical tips on how to stand out from competitors,’ author Joy Zarine explains.
According to the figures from the latest Market Growth Monitor from Alix Partners CGA Peach, the number of licensed premises in the UK fell by 2.1% in the last year, while managed licensed venues grew by 2.5%.
“There are many factors contributing to the closure of so many local pubs and independent bars. But their very independence is what they can use to become a roaring success. In this book I help them realise the changes they can make to achieve five star reviews and a thriving business,’ Joy says.
Tony Adams, hospitality industry expert, award-winning restaurateur and founder of London’s Hello Burger has worked with Joy for years.
‘Watching Joy work opened my eyes. I realised that I didn’t understand the guest experience, or my guest’s expectations. I didn’t know how to build systems so strong that you get it right every time. I was miles away from running a Five Star Business. Joy’s advice has transformed my business into a multi-award winning establishment. Through this book, she can do that for multiple independents across the UK,’ Adams says.
Every section of the book is supported with practical worksheets available online to ensure business owners work on, rather than in, their businesses. The Five Star Formula can be purchased from Amazon from 15th August or pre-ordered from most high street book-sellers. It costs £11.99
