am delighted to welcome this publication – the first Hospitality Black Book published by Henley Media. It adds to the hospitality industry’s sum of knowledge and will surely gain a secure place on every professional’s desk for handy reference and as a source of reliable information. Even more, I am sure it will be seen as a good read. Every Year Book has a purpose. In this case, it is to reflect the events of the previous year and to look forward to the next year. With key statistics giving the size and shape of the hospitality industry, and with much other relevant data and commentaries – together with many articles giving sound advice and information – the Black Book acknowledges all that is best in the hospitality industry celebrating, as it does, the fifth

largest industry in the country. As the book makes clear, hospitality is an industry which offers huge employment opportunities throughout the country to those with skills and to those seeking skills. The BHA is determined to ensure that those opportunities are made more abundant through a positive partnership with government and national and local agencies. With the right framework, we believe that the industry can create 236,000 new and additional jobs by 2015. I have great pleasure in welcoming the Hospitality Black Book 2011 and have no doubt that it will grow and prosper in future years. Ufi Ibrahim Chief Executive British Hospitality Association

SURVIVING THE RECESSION Value Remains The Key

The hospitality industry has survived the worst recession in a generation. What lessons does it tell us for the future, asks Sir David Michels.

he hospitality industry is a resilient beast. It’s survived a number of economic recessions in my career going back to the 1970s. Yet the industry has recovered. Take the foot-and-mouth outbreak which combined with 7/11 in 2001, shook the hotel industry practically to its knees. But no lasting damage was inflicted. Indeed, by 2003, the expansion of the industry, which continues to this day, was beginning to gather momentum. And there were earlier ones in the 1990s, now fading certainly in my memory although I lived through them trying to steer major corporates through treacherous waters. At the time, it was claimed that accountancy and administration firms were the biggest hotel owners in the business, so many insolvencies were there. The reason? Because too many small (and some large) companies were so overborrowed and under-financed

l UK HOSPITALITY BLACK BOOK 2011

and so unprepared for the damage that could be caused by a severe downturn in business, that the downturn, when it came, pushed them over the edge. After every tragedy people trot out the dictum that lessons have been learnt. In the case of the hospitality industry, it really did learn the lesson of better financial management. When the current recession arrived in 2008, casualties were noticeably fewer and less extensive that many expected. This was because the industry was better financed and better managed. Lessons really had been learned. That’s not to deny that many hotels and restaurants are now living on the edge and some are surviving only thanks to an indulgent bank that doesn’t want to foreclose on an asset that might be worth a good deal more a couple of years hence. And it’s also not to deny that both the hotel and the restaurant sectors have not suffered in the last couple of years. We tend to view the industry through the prism of London which did, indeed, experience a severe fall in corporate demand in 2008/2009 but which is now recording record occupancies and those at full rates. The provinces tell a different story, and here demand, and the rates achieved

are weaker. Much of this demand has been driven by special deals and cut price offers that slim the margins and cut the profits – so less money for re-investment. This applies to both the hotel and restaurant sectors; the problem will be to wean consumers off these special deals when the recession disappears. Yet reinvestment continues. You only have to look at the industry from the present vantage point to see how expansion is continuing. Indeed, at a time of continuing economic difficulties, you can’t help feeling a surge of optimism in the future of hospitality – and of British tourism in general. I’m struck by the fact that, despite the recession, the hotel industry is continuing to expand, with over 10,400 rooms opening in 2010 and a further 43,000 planned for the period 20112015. This, on top of the 95,000 rooms added since 2003. This doesn’t include the re-launches of existing hotels, such as The Savoy and Four Seasons in London amounting to nigh on £340m investment for these two properties alone. There is no doubt that we are currently experiencing the biggest hotel expansion in the industry’s

Recession

HOSPITALITY 2011

history – far greater than the one in 1969, which was encouraged (perhaps surprisingly) by the Labour government with grants of £1,000 a room (worth £10,000 now) or £1,500 a room in London. The drawback of that scheme was that too many small rooms were built to maximise the grant – a difficult temptation for hoteliers to resist when money is dangled in front of them but which still haunts some hotels today as they have to deal with rising customer expectations. Of course, the major trend in all this new construction is that over half the new rooms are in the budget sector – Trust House’s innovative Post House of the 1970s, now of distant memory, has become today’s Premier Inn. The industry has always been adept at recognising trends, though the budget concept came rather later to the UK than Europe and America. And look at the number of new restaurants opening. Some don’t survive but that’s always been the case. The talent that’s coming into the restaurant sector, with new ideas, new skills, new concepts, is reflected in the growth of the number of Michelin-starred restaurants and the expansion of the popular

restaurant sector. What has all this to do with the future? Well, the past influences our future and in many ways shows the way forward. So what’s important for the industry now is to recognise five key factors. 1. Value for money remains king. The industry has always recognised this but it’s more important today than ever before, because the economy hasn’t yet recovered and consumer spend will be much more tightly controlled for the next few years. This doesn’t mean high prices can’t be charged – indeed, some London hotels are successfully proving just that point with best ever yields. But providing value – however the consumer wants to interpret that and at whatever price level – will be key to continued success. 2. Tourism is ever more competitive Consumers can spend their money on many items other than holidays and short breaks. It’s interesting that in the reports produced by the British Hospitality Association in October 2010, China is highlighted as recognising tourism as one of the five pillars of its economy. Does the UK government

recognise this? David Cameron’s speech on tourism last August points the way to a more sympathetic understanding of the needs and ambitions of UK tourism, but we have some way to go yet before the UK government supports tourism in the same way that China (and many other EU countries) support their tourism industry. 3

Investment in brands must continue... Curiously enough, investment in the hotel industry is not now so much undertaken by hotel companies themselves but by developers and investment companies who become franchisees of major brands. This is the biggest change in hotel finance in the last 50 years. Expansion of the industry has been carried forward by an influx of new money which even the biggest hotel companies would have been hard pressed to raise by themselves. This will undoubtedly continue. The industry – both hotels and restaurants – is growing because it has become inextricably intertwined with brands and outside entrepreneurs, not because bornand-bred hoteliers are building more properties.

It shows the kind of internal competition that independent hotels in the regions are facing when such huge sums of money are poured into bringing properties up-to-date. Yet the independent sector represents about three-quarters of UK hotel stock. How it is able to raise funds to meet this challenge will largely dictate how successfully the private owner/operator will survive in the next ten years. Certainly, the pressure will bear ever more heavily on him (and her).

Management must become even smarter â&#x20AC;&#x201C; but not lose sight of the human touch. The industry is adopting new techniques and new tools, such as yield management systems, property management systems, all of which speed up the way we do business and the efficiency with which we treat our customers. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s significant, for example, that London hotels have been able to slim down their staff numbers and wage costs in recent years, more than those in the provinces. But it would be folly for the industry to believe that gismos are more important than the human touch â&#x20AC;&#x201C; though they may be as important in some cases. This is still the hospitality business and we need to be hospitable. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s worrying

that the UK is 11th in the international list as a welcoming country for visitors. As with all these pronouncements, you wonder how the rating was calculated but it shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t blind the industry to the fact that the welcome, the way customers are treated, and the value they receive are the keys to the industryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s future success â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and will remain so.

Tourism

TOURISM MUST WORK HARDER Top right: Globe Theatre, London with Tate Modern in the background - the world’s most visited art museum Bottom right: The regeneration of Cardiﬀ Bay produced a plethora of new hotels – and this bronze sculpture of a young local couple with their dog, which was sculpted by John Clinch in 1993 to celebrate the people who lived and worked locally in Cardiﬀ Bay.

Tourism was worth more than £115bn to the UK economy in 2009 – providing jobs for 2.6m people. Independent economists forecast rapid growth but this potential will not be fully achieved without decisive action to tackle many threats to the industry’s future, says Sandie Dawe, chief executive, VisitBritain.

hile tourism is the UK’s fifth biggest industry and third highest export earner, there is plenty of evidence that Britain must work harder to keep ahead of its competitors. For example: The UK was the fifth most visited destination by international tourists in 1998 but we fell to sixth in 2009. There is a distinct risk we will slip to seventh this year. We welcomed 1.2m fewer American visitors last year than in the record year of 2000 and in the first seven months of this year visits from North America were down by six per cent. But we also have evidence that the UK is very appealing to foreign travellers. In the Nations Brand Index Survey 2009, tourists ranked the UK fourth out of 50 countries as a holistic nation brand, behind the USA, France and Germany. Britain also came fourth for unique and irreplaceable architecture (Tower of London, Edinburgh Castle), vibrant city life (London, Manchester, Glasgow) and

l UK HOSPITALITY BLACK BOOK 2011

BLACK BOOK HOSPITALITY 2011

contemporary culture (Tate Modern, Edinburgh Fringe, Glastonbury Festival, Baltic in Newcastle-Upon-Tyne). We were ranked seventh for cultural heritage (Shakespeare) and eighth on sporting prowess (Manchester United, Andy Murray). London is the most visited city in the world. Heathrow is the busiest airport. Tate Modern is the most visited modern art museum in the world. The English Premiership has become the world’s most watched sporting league. We have the biggest retail sector in Europe and 45 per cent of foreign tourists go shopping for clothes and accessories whilst in Britain. People come here because what we offer is unique. You can only visit a genuine Scotch whisky distillery or play on the world’s oldest golf course in Scotland. Stonehenge exists only on Salisbury Plain. Snowdonia and Conwy

Castle are unique to Wales and if you want to see the Giant’s Causeway, you must visit Northern Ireland. So we have what it takes: fantastic assets. We also have the once-in-ageneration opportunity offered by the TV coverage of the Royal Wedding in 2011 and London Olympic and Paralympic Games in 2012 to boost Britain’s image across the world. But there are some major barriers. The perceived difficulty and actual cost of getting a visa to visit Britain may mean that first-time visitors choose to holiday elsewhere. The UK is at a particular disadvantage because we are outside the border-free ’Schengen’ zone, where one visa provides access to 25 countries including our most important rivals, France, Germany, Italy and Spain. The overseas travel trade therefore tends not to include us in European tour packages.

Britain risks losing millions of potential foreign tourists because of limits to our airport capacity. Demand for visiting the UK remains strong but the number of airline seats available to bring visitors here has remained static since 2006 while Asia and the Middle East has increased capacity by one third and Schiphol in the Netherlands has its fifth runway almost ready and is talking about building a sixth and seventh. We live on an island. Our air links are crucial. Last year 74 per cent of overseas visitors travelled to the UK by air, 15 per cent by sea, and 11 per cent by Tunnel. The fact is we need to develop more air capacity in the South-East to remain competitive. So how can tourism work harder? We must do more to tackle less favourable perceptions such as the welcome we offer, where we fall UK HOSPITALITY BLACK BOOK 2011

thirteenth out of 50 in the Brands Index. In reality VisitBritain’s research shows that when first-time visitors get here they feel more welcome in Britain than they expected to. But the greetings people get, especially at ports of entry into the UK, strongly influence how emphatically travellers recommend Britain to their friends. Because we are seen as expensive we must make more impact when marketing our best assets: our worldclass culture and heritage. Research shows Britain is seen by some would-be visitors as too much of a ‘school trip’ – an ‘educational’ destination that doesn’t offer the fun, escapism young people are often seeking. France and Italy are also seen as being more ‘romantic’’ destinations. So to differentiate itself the UK’s best strategy is to concentrate on offering ‘exciting’’ and’ ‘compelling’ experiences. We need to offer high quality and value for money at every price. People will pay more for a product if we build on our reputation for delivering an excellent experience. And we need to reconnect with any people who felt unsatisfied when they came here 20 years ago and show them how things have been transformed. So what is VisitBritain’s role in all this? We work in partnership with the government, the industry and our strategic partners, the tourism agencies for London, England, Scotland and Wales, to promote Britain in key overseas markets. And the good news is tourism is now high up the government’s agenda. In August David Cameron devoted an entire speech to how ‘incredibly important’ he believed the tourism industry was in generating economic growth and creating jobs. Remarkable - we have a government that finally gets tourism! Jeremy Hunt, Secretary of State at the Department for Culture, Media and Sport has made tourism one of his top priorities. I have never known that

l UK HOSPITALITY BLACK BOOK 2011

level of government engagement before. But tourism is not immune to the government’s need to make financial cutbacks, So hard times have stimulated us to accelerate the overhaul of what we do. We have pushed up the proportion of the funds we pump into marketing British tourism, stepped up our engagement with the industry and developed hugely successful social media platforms on Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and Flickr alongside our longstanding and formidable global public relations machine. So what else is going right? Every so often you get a step-change in tourism. The explosive growth of the budget hotel market has been one. It expanded by 38 per cent between 2002 and 2006 to reach £1bn in revenue for the first time, compared to just 12 per cent growth for hotels overall. Over the past 10 to 15 years British hotels have cracked interior design. At the budget end investment by the big chains means Premier Inns, Travelodge and Holiday Inn offer good quality at a great price. Lifestyle budget hotels such as The Big Sleep, the Hoxton Hotel and base2stay have cashed in by providing an affordable but luxurious alternative to their more traditional cousins. And we do boutique brilliantly, whether it is B&B, or luxury town-house.

The misconceptions about our food are being wiped away. More Michelin stars were handed to UK restaurants in 2010 than at any other time in the 35year history of the gastronomic award. Our chefs are known globally. But the French government’s decision to reduce its VAT rate for restaurants from 19.6 per cent to 5.5 per cent in July last year reminds us of their price advantage. The industry is developing itself. Whilst much needed at the time, the era ushered in by the Development of Tourism Act 1969, which saw hotels relying on government grants to put in en suite bathrooms, is behind us. The public money that was used to lure the first Center Parks resort to the UK was positive. But now there is a distinct move away from that approach. Hotel Du Vin and Travelodge didn’t wait around for government money to launch their expansion. But we must avoid complacency. It is tempting to take comfort from the fact that on average the spending by overseas visitors has increased by 4.8 per cent a year over the past 40 years. In fact at its best, inbound tourist spending growth reached an astonishing 12 per cent in real terms between 1968-77. But over the last 13 years the growth has been zero per cent. On the bright side, the 10 countries

that joined the EU in 2004 brought millions of potential visitors to the UK. Poland has come from nowhere to be our eighth largest market with a million tourists a year. The impact of low-cost airlines has been profound. By opting for regional airports where landing fees are lower they have opened a string of regional UK destinations such as Bristol and Newcastle to European weekend visitors for the first time. Last year we launched a highly successful campaign in partnership with low-cost airlines and regional airports to raise awareness across Europe of the good value that Britain was offering travellers because exchange rates have tumbled since August 2007. This has cut the cost of Sterling by 20 per cent or more against the euro. The Channel Tunnel has also been significant. After falling slightly in the late-1990s combined inbound and outbound passenger traffic stabilised at 16.1m in 2008. Britain has learned to create really wonderful experiences. At big events the quality of branding, the food and information, is a world away from 20 years ago. Our iconic events are world beating whether it is Glyndebourne or Glastonbury, Royal Ascot to the Edinburgh Tattoo. The importance of tourism is deeply understood by the hospitality industry. But it needs to become part of the DNA of British life. Schools should teach that these are good jobs and everyone is an ambassador for our country. Tourism will prosper if we work in partnership. The most successful destinations I have seen are ones where all the people have a shared sense of place. They pick up all the litter. They smile at the visitors and help with directions. They stop seeing the B&B down the road as their competition, but their friend. As someone nearly said, we are all in tourism together.

Leisure

LEISURE SPEND: LONG-TERM GROWTH CONTINUES Right: Eating-out is now no longer seen as a luxury or part of discretionary spend by many. Indeed, restaurants,, pubs and bars now account for 70 per cent of total leisure spend and pubs are now increasingly turning to food and the family as a major revenue stream, with food now accounting for 31 per cent of total turnover, up from 24 per cent in 2004.

The leisure sector is diverse and fragmented, covering the majority of the activities in which we spend our free time, from eating-out to workingout, says David Feeney of Pan-Leisure Consulting. More significant, thanks to changes in lifestyles, spend on many items is now considered non-discretionary.

he last decade has seen unprecedented growth in the leisure industry in the UK and abroad – and it’s likely to continue. The 2010 Leisure Market Research argues that this growth has been fuelled by baby boomer spending, with significant growth in the market expected for the foreseeable future. The importance of the leisure market is perhaps best highlighted by the fact that some analysts predict that by 2015, more than half of the Gross National Product of the United States will be generated by the leisure and entertainment industry. Leisure is big business and has a central place in all our lives. Although many consider the leisure market to be largely Western-driven, its rapid growth should be seen in more global terms. The past decade has seen unprecedented levels of economic growth throughout much of the developing world. Indeed, World Tourism Organisation figures show that since 2003, growth in international tourism arrivals has grown from 694m to 1bn in 2010, a rise of over 30 per cent in just seven years. Of even greater interest, from 1995 to 2010, East Asian passenger growth has increased by 140 per cent. The increased spend of emerging economies is expected to grow, with East Asia, the Middle East and Africa

l UK HOSPITALITY BLACK BOOK 2011

forecast to record growth rates of five per cent per year, compared to the world average of 4.1 per cent, further fuelling leisure spend across the globe. At home, inbound visits to the UK have been steadily growing by 3.3 per cent per year (2000-2008), with 25.4m visitors in 2009. Leisure visitors have defied the recession and spending has held up well, thanks largely to a weaker pound. Barclays reports that overseas demand is ‘a key driver of growth in the hospitality and leisure industry’. The Office for National Statistics points out that the boom in leisure has happened almost entirely in the last 20 years with modern households now devoting almost a fifth of their weekly spending to leisure goods and services in 2009 compared with just nine per cent in 1957. A Mintel report in 2009 estimated the leisure industry to be worth £70bn, a nine per cent increase on 2004 but 1.5 per cent lower than 2008, thanks to the impact of the recession. The best performing sectors in this period have been cultural leisure

markets such as music concerts and festivals, theatres and museums, coupled with strong retail growth (23 per cent 2000-2006), supported by more overseas trips and UK short breaks. Occupancy, room rates and revPAR have reached record levels in London alongside fast-paced growth in the branded budget hotel market. How do we spend our time at leisure? Watching television remains the most popular leisure activity, followed by spending time with friends and family; listening to music, shopping, reading and eating-out making up the next most popular activities. However, whilst these activities can be considered staples of the leisure sector, there have been a number of changes in the wider leisure market in the past decade which have helped fuel growth. One of the major factors has been the lifestyle changes seen in the UK, and indeed, throughout much of the Western world. Increased work pressures have meant that people are

BLACK BOOK HOSPITALITY 2011

either seek out-of-home leisure activities with friends and family, or make the most of their limited leisure time by going on short breaks. As a result, there has been significant growth in the short-break market, as people seek to get away from it all. Thanks to these changes in both attitude and lifestyle, it is being suggested that much of the leisure spending in 2010 is not discretionary (as many people might assume) but is, in fact, non-discretionary. This is the case with markets such as health and beauty and fitness, whereby the social pressures to look good mean that people see their spending on products and gym memberships as near essential. In fact, this is borne out by the continued strong performance in the health and fitness sector, despite the recession. The table below shows recent changes in key sectors of the leisure market. It shows that there have

been significant levels of growth in the leisure market in recent years, although latest figures highlight the effects of the recent recession. The biggest growth sectors have undoubtedly been the performing arts and cultural sectors. Significant levels of investment have increased attendance at theatrical and other performances, and growing cultural importance can be seen with growth in the events market and interest in heritage. However, an even stronger performance has been seen from the music industry, which now relies increasingly on the revenues from tours and other events to counter falling recording sales. This market was worth ÂŁ2.3bn in 2009 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; largely fuelled by the rock and pop sector. The health and fitness industry has also experienced a significant boom in the past decade, with consumers increasingly recognising the importance of a healthy lifestyle, The market is likely

working longer hours, often with significant commutes. Further, the changing economic environment and growth of the service sector has meant that the majority of the workforce now sits at a desk for most of the day, increasing the demand for active leisure activities. Of course, strong levels of economic growth (notwithstanding the recent recession) have led to increased affluence and levels of disposable income, which are widely acknowledged to be the key driver of the development of the hospitality and leisure industry. As well as changes to the working dynamic, social changes can also be said to have impacted upon the leisure industry. The continued increase in oneperson households and growth in households in which two adults are working full-time has led to an increased demand for leisure. People

verge of overhauling pubs and bars as the largest single market in the leisure industry. The pub sector has struggled to cope with the smoking ban, licensing deregulation, increased alcohol duties, supermarket alcohol sales and the effects of the recession. These have had an even greater impact on the nightclub industry. As with other areas of the leisure

market, eating-out is now no longer seen as a luxury or part of discretionary spend by many. Indeed, restaurants, pubs and bars now account for 70 per cent of total leisure spend and pubs are increasingly turning to food and the family as a major revenue stream, with food accounting for 31 per cent of total turnover, up from 24 per cent in 2004. A number of outside influences

BLACK BOOK HOSPITALITY 2011

have impacted upon the leisure market, which have influenced market changes. Policy makers have helped to push leisure growth due to the extensive urban regeneration schemes seen throughout many parts of the UK, which are often leisure-led. For example, the recently opened Liverpool One development is anchored by a strong retail and hospitality offer. This has been combined historically with a willingness to approve out-oftown developments (although this is now being discouraged in favour of town centre regeneration), as well as by local authorities looking to fill vacant town centre units, which have often been taken up by bars and restaurants. There are a number of issues that may influence the future direction and performance of the leisure market. Perhaps the most significant of these

(especially in the short-term) will be the ongoing effect of the recent recession and subsequent sluggish economic growth. Mintel reports that the recession has had a major impact on UK leisure habits, with 53 per cent of people staying in more and 59 per cent spending less when they do go out. Furthermore, 23 per cent of the population is happy to stay in more often due to advances in home entertainment; this may hit the out-ofhome leisure market in the future. The recession may also lead to a more savvy leisure consumer, with Mintel reporting that seven out of ten adults are taking advantage of leisure vouchers, offers and discounts while over half are researching prices before they go out. It remains to be seen whether the long-term economic situation will

change the attitude that so much leisure activity has now become nondiscretionary as people adapt to the so-called ‘age of austerity’. The leisure market is also likely to be increasingly influenced by the ‘green’ and ‘sustainability’ markets as consumers continue to consider their impact on the environment and world around them (expenditure on ethical goods and services has grown almost threefold in ten years – from £13.5bn 1999 to £36bn 2008, according to the Co-Op). Finally, it is also likely that quality will have an increasing influence, with consumers increasingly demanding better quality facilities as they discover what is available across the globe and become increasingly market-savvy. This is reflected in national, regional and local tourism, leisure and cultural strategies and plans. UK HOSPITALITY BLACK BOOK 2011

PATH TO SUSTAINABLE GROWTH

What does the hospitality industry want from the government? A partnership that will help create 236,000 new and additional jobs and bring about sustainable growth, says Ufi Ibrahim, chief executive of the British Hospitality Association.

he hospitality industry is the country’s fifth biggest. It directly employs 2.4m people and a further 1.2m indirectly. It is the economic driver of many regions of the country. Without the hospitality industry (which is an integral part of tourism) many regions of the country would be in economic trouble. Even London, with more than 400,000 jobs and earning over £12bn from both overseas and domestic visitors, depends on tourism for much of its economic success. Nor is hospitality dependent on government handouts. It has invested over £25bn in new hotel stock in the last decade, with a further 40,000 rooms to be added by 2015. At the same time, new restaurants are opening all over the country and there are more Michelinstarred restaurants than ever before. In total, UK tourism earns over 24

l UK HOSPITALITY BLACK BOOK 2011

£16bn a year in overseas earnings and hospitality it contributes over £34bn to HM Treasury every year. So the hospitality industry is a major economic force. Does the government recognise this? Certainly, previous governments appear not to have done so. But with the coalition government, we have the opportunity to create a partnership that will set hospitality on the path of sustainable growth, with the creation, in our estimation, of an additional 236,000 more jobs. . David Cameron’s speech on tourism in the summer of 2010 set the tone, when he described the industry as ‘incredibly important’, outlining two major objectives: for Britain to be one of the top five destinations in the world in terms of revenue from inbound tourism (we are currently seventh); and to lift the proportion of what British people spend on holiday in the UK to 50 per cent (it is currently 36 per cent). Both objectives are tough and will not be easily achieved which is why we need to forge a partnership with government to help the industry reach them. The industry doesn’t want government handouts, but it does want government support. So how can the industry best face the undoubted challenge of 2011 and beyond? There are five key areas: 1. 2. 3.

4. 5.

Economy and VAT Health and Wellness Competitiveness - both the UK as a tourism destination and a place to do business Employment, Education and Skills Sustainability

Economy and VAT Hospitality and tourism operates in a highly competitive environment, not only for the domestic consumer pound but for the international visitor. China,

for example, recognises tourism as one of the five pillars of its economy and gives it every encouragement. We have no such recognition. Indeed, in Britain, the lower rates of VAT on accommodation (and on some menus) introduced by many EU countries, puts Britain at a major competitive disadvantage. We cannot expect early action but we must analyse the benefits of a reduction in VAT for hotel accommodation and meals in terms of jobs created and higher tax revenues so that action may be taken when we have the right opportunity. At the same time, as Britain is outside the Schengen Agreement, the difficulties in obtaining visas (and their cost) also act as a deterrent to many potential visitors from non-EU countries. The lack of a Real Estate Investment Trust for the hospitality sector is also holding back growth. Health and Wellness The industry, through its food and service management companies and in-house caterers, provides over 3.5bn meals every year in places of work, schools, hospitals and similar areas. Its influence, therefore, on the well-being of the nation can hardly be overemphasised. Many catering companies have already risen to this challenge by providing a choice of healthy dishes, with many also reducing the salt, sugar and fat content of individual dishes. The provision of some nutritional information, on a voluntary basis, is the natural next step. The Department of Health is promoting its Responsibility Deal (on which the BHA sits as a main Board member) which is urging catering companies to sign up to pledges to reduce further their use of salt, fat and sugar as well as to provide healthy food items and nutritional information on restaurant menus. The latter includes calorie-counted menus which, for many independent restaurants in particular, will pose significant problems. At

‘The industry will do everything it can to continue investment, reduce carbon emissions, recruit and train new staff. At the same time, the government needs to provide the right kind of supportive framework in which the industry can prosper.’ present, this is a voluntary scheme but here, as in other areas, the industry needs a clear recognition from government that regulation is a policy of last resort. Competitiveness The government must encourage the economic contribution of the industry but the disbandment of Regional Development Agencies and the creation of Local Enterprise Partnerships – the new engines for economic growth in the regions – means that tourism now has to reinforce its position in the regions as a major economic force. Many LEPs have already being created and the signs are not propitious, with tourism highlighted in only a few of the bids so far. Government needs to champion tourism as a key plank of regional economic revival – which is what it is. This means that the relationship between the government, the tourism minister, the tourism agencies and the BHA must be closer and more collaborative than ever before. Collaboration is vitally important in other areas. The creation of a crosscabinet committee would significantly benefit the implementation of new regulations. Far too often, decisions taken by one government department are not discussed by other departments and have an adverse affect on the industry. An annual, high level meeting with the prime minister and senior colleagues with senior members of the industry would also ensure that key priorities and opportunities can be

discussed and encouraged. Employment, Education and Skills The hospitality industry is a huge engine for job creation throughout the country, not only offering employment to skilled and highly skilled workers but to those with few if any qualifications, including many who are presently unemployed. Jobs regarded as menial in the UK are just as crucial to the economy as an Oxbridge degree and few industries can offer such a wide range of employment opportunities as hospitality. Government support for further education courses thus remains critical though employers, too, have a responsibility – discharged by many – for training and development. The recruitment of skilled, non-European chefs, however, will become an issue of great difficulty in April this year as the government is insisting that they must be of graduate level – a misguided and irrelevant criterion for specialised chefs. The industry’s positive partnership with government must been seen against the background of its ability to create jobs, This it can do, providing government recognises that a partnership goes two ways. The industry will do everything it can to continue investment, reduce carbon emissions, recruit and train new staff. At the same time, the government needs to provide the right kind of supportive framework in which the industry can prosper. This means a deep understanding of the complexities and needs of the hospitality and tourism industry

2011 - and beyond

HOSPITALITY 2011

which only a partnership can bring about. So the industry’s relationship with government must be closer than it has been in the past – otherwise decisions made will run the danger of harming, not supporting hospitality’s development. In the BHA’s report published last year – Creating Jobs in Britain – A Hospitality Economy Proposition – we recognise that some of the steps we want government to make – the reduction in VAT, for example – are not immediately possible. But fewer and better regulations are possible, which would ease the burden on busy operators. Strong tourism representation on Local Enterprise Partnerships would help promote hospitality as a key economic driver, and could be promoted by the government. Recognition by the Regional Growth Fund of the value of hospitality to local economies would provide welcome support to the industry. Enabling hotels to operate within the framework of Real Estate Investment Trusts would encourage more investment. All these steps are feasible and would provide an even stronger base for hospitality’s principal aim: sustainable growth. Sustainability Sustainability is a key concern to the industry and is rising to the top of many agendas – indeed, many companies have already set sustainability at the heart of their business strategy. The hospitality industry is already making an important contribution to the country’s targets for reductions in energy and water consumption. Nevertheless, there is no doubt that more will need to be done. Sustainability will remain a key concern of companies as they aim to reduce their carbon footprint. The concern, however, is that the cost of energy data collection and control will risk taking resources away from direct investment in energy efficiency. UK HOSPITALITY BLACK BOOK 2011

Hotel industry

UK HOTEL INDUSTRY begins to recovers from the economic storm

n October 2008, following the collapse of Lehman Brothers, the UK hotel industry found itself teetering precariously on the edge of a downward slope in the hotel cycle. A 4.8 per cent decline in GDP during 2009 resulted in tough trading conditions for the majority of hotel operators. However, in the midst of what has been widely reported as the deepest recession since the 1930s, through the application of lessons learned from the past and technological advances in the industry, London hotels have continually defied the experts and less than 24 months later hotels in provincial cities are returning to revenue growth.

In the past 24 months, UK hoteliers were hit by the storm that swept through the economy. Now, London hotels are operating at near peak capacity and the provincial hotels are recovering. Jonathan Langston, managing director (top) and Ben Livingstone, senior consultant, TRI Hospitality Consulting trace the upturn and give some forecasts for the future.

The impact of the credit crunch Despite the credit crunch impeding performance in Q4, 2008 was a strong year in the UK hotel market, with record Revenue per Available Room (RevPAR) levels achieved in London and the provinces, at £102.10 and £52.43, respectively. However, the nationalisation and part-nationalisation of most major banks and the first fall in house prices for 12 years were indicators of mounting economic malaise and the declines in headline performance levels in Q4 2008 were a precursor to the full impact of the economic downturn on the UK hotel market in 2009. In January 2009 the UK hotel market experienced substantial losses in profitability as room rates in the commercial sector were aggressively slashed and the volume of corporate business contracted massively. The impact on headline performance levels

was a room occupancy decline of 4.2 percentage points and a drop in average room rates of seven per cent. As revenues dropped, profitability was impacted by rising costs and year-on-year Gross Operating Profit per Available Room (GOPPAR) in January plummeted by 25.8 per cent across the UK. Following average growth of 3.2 per cent per annum for the 25 years prior to 2009, visits to the UK by overseas residents fell by 6.3 per cent, to 29.9m from 31.9m in 2008. Business visits were hit the hardest as the number of overseas residents coming to the UK for business purposes declined by 19 per cent. Visits from Europe decreased by seven per cent, while those from North America dropped by 7.8 per cent to 3.5m, as the economy in the USA laboured onward with the weight of debt from sub-prime mortgages on its shoulders. At home, the UK economy suffered a peak to trough decline in output of 6.4 per cent of GDP from spring 2008 until autumn 2009, the greatest swing in recent years. In 2010, however, productivity has recovered, with the UK recording an increase in domestic productivity in both Q2 and Q3, signalling a return to profitable growth for some, but unfortunately not all, hotel markets in the UK. London – the secret of its success The high watermark of hotel performance in London was in 2007 as demand continued to exceed supply. Average room occupancy appeared to have reached its effective ceiling with a slight drop to 81 per cent from

P Provisional Business visits to the UK have fallen dramatically since 2006 with a 22 per cent reduction in spend. 82.5 per cent in 2006. The emphasis was therefore on rate improvement and London hoteliers made the most of an enviable trading environment, increasing achieved average room rate by 12.7 per cent. In 2008 and prior to the collapse of Lehman Brothers, London hotels appeared remarkably resilient to the gathering storm in the financial markets and weakening inbound tourism. Hoteliers enjoyed nine consecutive months of revenue and profit growth, but the failure of the Wall Street investment bank in mid-September precipitated an immediate and sustained loss of high-paying corporate business, particularly for London’s luxury hotels, which hit a low in January 2009. In the wake of an 11.3 per cent

decline in RevPAR in Q1 2009, one industry expert was suggesting that the recession could lead to a RevPAR decline of more than 44 per cent in the nation’s capital in Q4 2009, theorising that the bigger the boom the bigger the bust. However, following a challenging period of operation during the first nine months of 2009, which resulted in an 8.1 per cent decline in RevPAR, Q4 marked a return to growth for the capital with a 5.2 per cent increase in RevPAR, albeit against the soft comparables of 2008. Since then London has gone from strength to strength, outpacing competitive markets throughout the UK and Europe, with the capital only stopping for breath in April 2010 as the Icelandic ash cloud disrupted flights across Europe. The city punctuated its recovery in July 2010 by achieving a RevPAR more than 11 per cent above its performance in 2008, at the ‘peak’ of the market, with a room occupancy of approximately 92 per cent at an achieved average room rate of £141.91 as revenues in the capital soared, fuelled by demand from the biennial Farnborough Air Show. As well as the increase in the number of visitors to the city, taking advantage of the weak pound against the euro, the success of London hotels during the downturn has been born out of the challenges which its hoteliers have faced in the past, particularly in the wake of 9/11. By the end of 2010, hotels in London were achieving RevPAR levels 11.5 per cent higher than during the same period in 2009. Furthermore, management in the capital must be highly praised for its astute cost management, particularly when it comes to payroll, which has resulted in a year-to-date increase in profitability of 15 per cent. With the London Olympics less than two years away and the recent stalwart headline performance levels, unsurprisingly, new hotel development in London continues apace with 28

approximately 6,800 bedrooms currently under development; and a further 30,000 bedrooms across the 32 London boroughs with planning permission. Provincial UK – room rate remains a challenge Historically, the provincial hotel market has been notable for its

susceptibility to declines in national productivity; and following successful periods of trading during the two previous years, 2009 was no exception. In 2007 the provincial hotel market maintained its steady performance at approximately 70 per cent occupancy. Domestic corporate demand remained robust as UK GDP grew by 3.1 per

Liverpool, Manchester and Leeds, were victims of their own success as the level of new hotel developments grew with the local economies. Manchester is a prime example, having experienced an increase in room stock of approximately 2,000 fullservice bedrooms in the period from 2000 to 2010, reflecting the elevated profile of the city following the success of the Commonwealth Games in 2002. As a result of the economic downturn, subsequent loss in the volume and value of demand and hoteliers’ inability to maintain cost levels, GOPPAR crashed by 30.2 per cent. Overall, RevPAR in the provincial UK continued to decline until January 2010 but now appears stable. However, the recovery in the provinces is entirely based on a growth in room occupancy only, which for the first three quarters of 2010 is 2.1 percentage points above the same period in 2009, as hoteliers compete aggressively for market share on price; which remains 1.5 per cent behind the achieved rate during the same period in 2009. Although the private sector is showing signs of recovery in pockets across the UK, the recent government spending review is likely to have a significant

medium to long-term impact on provincial hotel performance, which will be primarily felt in cities such as Liverpool, Newcastle and Middlesbrough where up to 40 per cent of the population is employed in government and semi-government organisations.

Hotel industry

cent, allowing provincial hoteliers to achieve a 2.8 per cent increase in achieved average room rate. The steady performance was continued into the first half of 2008 with modest revenue and profit growth reported, although the impact of rising food, electricity and gas prices was already noticeable. In the third quarter, when the UK economy contracted for the first time in 17 years, weakening demand and rising costs nudged profit into the red. During the final quarter of 2008, the economy contracted by a worse-than-expected 1.9 per cent compared to the same period a year earlier; as a result, occupancy, revenue and profit were all firmly in negative territory from October to December. That said, the full impact of the recession on provincial hoteliers was not felt until January 2009 as the provincial hotel market experienced a downward shift in the volume of corporate and conference demand from 58.9 per cent to 49.8 per cent of total demand. During Q1 2009, profitability in the provinces declined by a whopping 19.9 per cent. Those locations which were most affected were those which had been thriving just a year earlier. Primarily commercial-driven cities, such as

We have the technology Compared to the declines experienced in the 1980s and 1990s, the impact of the recession on UK hotel performance in 2009/10 has been reduced by a number of factors. Technology such as the internet has enabled greater control of pricing and rapid response to changing market conditions. Yield management systems, which utilise the same sales practices as airlines to achieve the best available rate, are now employed to allow hoteliers to effectively control volume and room discounting on a daily basis. Contrast this with the flood of rooms placed under third party control by the panicstricken hoteliers post-9/11. In 2009, 38.1 per cent of UK hotels were branded. During 2009 and 2010, major hotel groups have benefited from offering products in a number of market sectors as well as having the capacity to deploy a hasty response to the credit

Hospitality economy

UK hotel market 2011 y end of 2010, the London hotel market was achieving a year-to-date room occupancy of 82.2 per cent. In 2011, we expect that the continued recovery of business and conference demand in London, in addition to the current strong levels of leisure demand, will allow hoteliers to grow to pre-Olympic room occupancy levels of 83 per cent. We envisage the forthcoming VAT increase to have more of an impact on leisure demand than commercial demand; and in the capital, any declines in demand from the public sector, following the recent governmental spending review will be offset by growth in the leisure sector. Whilst average room rate in London in 2010 exceeded 2009 levels by 8.9 per cent, we envisage further growth opportunities in 2011 will be limited, to approximately 2.2 per cent. The growth in price in London will be derived from the continuing trend of rate increases in the corporate and conference sectors and will be buoyed by the strength of demand from leisure visitors, particularly during the

summer months, and for the Royal Wedding, as the UK remains a value for money destination thanks to the weak sterling. Hotels in the provinces have been recording room occupancy increases since the beginning of 2010 and by the year end were 1.7 percentage points ahead of the performance during the same period in 2009. The provincial market finished the year at a room occupancy of 69.5 per cent. Despite the forecasted growth in GDP of two per cent in 2011, we believe room occupancy levels will remain at 69.5 per cent. Volume in this market will be constrained by governmental spending cuts, consumer confidence being damaged by the potential loss of 500,000 jobs across the UK, increasingly aggressive strategies from budget hotel chains as well as new supply entering the market. In contrast to the increase in room occupancy in the provinces in 2010, average room rate remains a challenge and has experienced an annual decline of 0.9 per cent, which we believe will remain at this level until the end of 2011.

In 2011, the factors impacting room occupancy growth will equally impact the potential to grow average room rate. Despite provincial hoteliers continuing to compete aggressively on price in order to drive volume, we envisage increases in corporate rates will be possible only in certain markets, as recently achieved in Newcastle, Cardiff, Swindon, Southampton and Portsmouth. In contrast, compromises in price will be required in order to protect volumes of leisure guests and overall average room rates will remain flat. In the medium term, the 2012 London Olympics remain an exciting prospect for the UK not only due to the increase in demand levels during this period but also the legacy that the Olympics will leave behind. Although we do not envisage the impact of the Olympic Games on headline performance levels will be as great as experienced in other host cities due to the maturity of the London hotel market, the event will undoubtedly have a positive effect on the tourism industry throughout the UK.

crunch (such as group discounting and loyalty bonuses through their nationwide portfolios). The most well represented full-service brands in the UK today are in the Hilton, InterContinental Hotels Group, Accor, Rezidor and Marriott stables. Furthermore, as more and more hotel users are empowered to dictate the success and failure of a property on consumer websites such as TripAdvisor and hotels.com, the distance between those who get the proposition right and those who do not will continue to grow.

since 1992 when rooms supply was approximately 9,400 rooms, compared with approximately 109,000 today. Premier Inn alone has more than 40,000 bedrooms and Travelodge more than 30,000, making this a highly competitive sector. This was the first recession in which the budget hotel has featured and offered a price conscious alternative to full-service accommodation. However, as a number of the biggest budget brands held fast on their pricing policy, the market was impacted by full-service hotels reducing price to attract volume away from the budget sector. In order to combat this intrusion, Premier Inn introduced dynamic pricing

in August 2009. However, by that time hoteliers were beginning to see a return to growth in volume. The budget sector did not achieve room occupancy growth until November 2009, but this was at the expense of average room rate. In 2009 RevPAR in the provincial budget hotel market declined by nine per cent, which was primarily due to a 6.3 percentage point drop in room occupancy. This was echoed by a 5.6 per cent decline in RevPAR in Londonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s budget market, which, in contrast to the performance of its full-service markets, suffered due to a lack of international awareness, as this sector in the UK is dominated by domestic brands, such as Travelodge and Premier Inn.

RESTAURANTS LEAD THE LEISURE REVOLUTION Right: Whitbread’s Beefeater brand has grown over the years, while others – like Berni Inns and Pizzaland – have failed.

For over twenty years the restaurant industry has been at the forefront of the leisure revolution in Britain. Expenditure in restaurants – including full-service, quick service, casual dining, fast food – has more than doubled since 1990 and now stands at £20.6bn. Peter Backman, managing director of Horizons, says the sector has become such a part of our everyday lives that the average Briton eats out almost weekly.

he growth of the restaurant industry has been driven by changes in increasing wealth, growing expectations and the sheer choice and availability of places to eat. Although the economic downturn that started in 2008 hit the restaurant market, as it did all other sectors, it is unlikely to have stemmed the long-term trend since eating-out has now become an integral part of our everyday life. This resilience has arisen because of the increasingly important role being taken by group operators – chains of restaurants of as few as five outlets with common branding. These operators take 56p in every £ spent in restaurants, up from 49p only ten years ago. What makes these group operators potent is their economies of scale. As they grow they attract the best people, they make their marketing spend go

l UK HOSPITALITY BLACK BOOK 2011

further and they can exert the most pricing power over their suppliers. But being a group is not a guarantee of success. Twenty years ago, the top 10 restaurant chains included brands that are no longer around such as Berni Steak Houses, Pizzaland and Kardomah coffee. On the other hand, other entrants in the list were Beefeater, Toby Inns and Pizza Express, all of which have managed to grow over the years. A striking thing about these names, though, is their spread of cuisines. And nowadays the adventurous road that began with coffee, pizza and steak all those years ago, now encompasses noodles, sushi, and dim sum. An expanding, eclectic range of cuisines enhances the attraction of eating out for the general public. In other words, the more choice there is, the more attractive eating-out becomes.

But the food on offer is not the only reason why people eat out. Matching their lifestyle or introducing them to new ways of doing things can also be a reason for eating-out. The growth of coffee shops, initially anyway, was an expression of a relaxed attitude in the middle of a hectic day. Starbucks’ ‘third place’ really did tap into the zeitgeist of the 1990s. Carluccio’s, with its emphasis on an Italian lifestyle, has built on the consumers’ love affair with the Mediterranean – the holiday destination for many. At the same time, Leon with its focus on vegetarian, has latched onto the green revolution and has seen its business grow accordingly. A noticeable feature of the UK restaurant scene, compared with what is found in the USA, say, is the presence of a single example of operation in so

BLACK BOOK HOSPITALITY 2011

many market sectors – there is really only one Wagamama, one Yo! Sushi, one Nando’s; in the USA once a successful cuisine catches on, it attracts competitors. This difference is probably a result of the relative sizes of these markets. Perhaps there is only room for one of each brand in the UK; but it is more likely a sign of the vigour of the UK restaurant market which encourages plenty of differentiation. Of course, there are sectors in the UK where there are many operators with a similar product, pizza being perhaps the prime example. But even this sector has been able to develop several unique styles with chains such as Prezzo, Ask and Pizza Express on the one hand and Pizza Hut, Domino’s and Papa Johns on the other. Choice, then, is good for the operator because it encourages the consumer for whom it provides an increasing number of reasons for eating out. But what has it done for the consumers’ pocket? In 2000, the average meal in the restaurant sector cost £5.90 – nowadays it’s £7.14, a rise of 21 per cent In strictly comparable terms, ie

comparing prices with inflation taken out, the real growth is just five per cent. Over ten years that amounts to less than 0.5 per cent a year. And although it is difficult to compare quality then and now, most observers believe that, with that small increase in cost, has come a major improvement in quality. So over the last ten years, consumers have benefited from growing choice and quality and they have only had to spend a little bit more when they eat out. This happy state of affairs, for the consumer at least, has come about through the reduction of costs throughout the supply chain. Suppliers are being asked by operators to provide more quality for less money. It has also come about through the economies of scale. In a word, the restaurant sector has become more efficient. And this efficiency has helped it through the difficult last couple of recessionary years that started with the banking meltdown in the autumn of 2008. For the UK restaurant market, the start of 2009 was a bleak time. The consumer had lost confidence, food inflation was running at high levels and

the banks weren’t lending. The scene looked set for massive decline – but it didn’t happen. In fact, with a little bit of help from inflation, the restaurant sector grew marginally between 2008 and 2009. This was due, in major part, to the resilience of the larger operators. They reacted quickly by reducing costs where they could and, most notably staffing costs which account for the largest share of total costs in the sector. Operators also managed to spend less on food using a variety of imaginative strategies. Portion sizes were trimmed where it was possible to do so without the consumer feeling short-changed – for example, an eight oz steak could be reduced to a six oz version. Operators also managed consumer expectations over quality while still making sure that their customers felt that they were getting value for money. And all the while, the larger groups exerted pressure on their suppliers to reduce their costs Attention was also turned towards generating more business. In the autumn of 2008, discounting became widespread especially with the availability of downloadable vouchers from the internet. Offers came thick and fast from group operators in the first few months of 2009 focusing on increasing customer traffic through mouth-watering ‘£10 off’ and ‘Buy a meal – get another one free’ offers. These succeeded in their primary aim of growing customer numbers but they began to play havoc with margins; so operators started to focus their offers on meal deals which intelligently directed the consumer towards menu items with margins that could withstand a sizeable reduction in price. Other offers were focused on increasing business on day parts, or days of the week, when custom was generally slow. By mid-2010, discounting had definitely helped to retain some bounce in the sector but it wasn’t helping balance sheets which had been weakened, especially in late 2008

Source: Horizons and early 2009, when food inflation resolutely stood at over 10 per cent for 10 months. This weakened company valuations and, by mid-2010, there were a number of tempting offers for sale which venture capitalists, who by now had access to funds, started to take up. At this time, most investments were being made for reasons of accessing attractive sites, or because existing owners wanted to exit their position rather than for purposes of brand building or enhancing corporate value. These remain opportunities for 2011 and beyond. And while all these macro activities

were taking place, restaurant operators were also tackling a range of ethical issues ranging from sustainability and ‘green’ topics generally, to food provenance and buying ‘local’. Many operators have embraced these issues because they provide genuine benefits, such as saving costs or supporting the restaurant’s ethical credentials. As later adopters of technology, restaurateurs have not fully taken on board the internet revolution. But there are signs – several operators are now engaging with their customers through social media sites for instance - and the opportunity to build loyalty through

the use of technology holds out promise for those operators willing to take it on board. If the sector is unlikely to reach 2008 sales levels again before 2012, nevertheless, restaurateurs, especially chain operators, have demonstrated flexibility over the long-term and the ability to renew their businesses in the recent, very challenging times of the great foodservice recession. This holds out great promise for the future. There are still many challenges ahead. One of the most pressing is how to rebuild balance sheets while another is how to get out of the discounting culture that has become embedded in parts of the market. And long-established challenges remain, too, such as the continual battle to attract and retain staff, finding the right locations and developing new offers to tempt the public. In the past, group operators have shown themselves adept at meeting challenges like these. It is likely that they will continue to lead the growth in this sector in the years ahead.

PUBS STRIVE TO MEET THE CHALLENGES despite higher taxes and more regulations

The economic climate continues to pose real challenges for the pub sector. Policy is developing under the coalition government which affects the leisure and hospitality sector and, in some areas, politicians still seek to legislate. Whilst the British Beer and Pub Association sees pubs as the home of responsible retailing of alcohol, pubs are often caught up in the general noise about alcohol and bad behaviour, particularly in town centres, says Brigid Simmonds, chief executive, BBPA.

espite common perceptions, the pub industry is facing economic challenges. We have seen the total number of pubs reduced by around 6,000 in the past five years. In 2010, the closure rate has not been quite as high as in the previous two years, but it is still running at around 30 per month. The recent trend of pub closures has been caused by a complex series of economic factors, often interacting with each other, with government policy decisions just adding to the problem. The smoking ban in July 2007 hit drink sales, especially beer. As 60 per cent of what is sold in pubs is beer, the departure of the smoking fraternity affected the viability of

l UK HOSPITALITY BLACK BOOK 2011

many pubs; shortly after that came the economic downturn. With the public finances deteriorating, the government increased dramatically the level of taxation on the sector. Beer duty has been increased by 26 per cent in the past two years alone. Running parallel, has been the government’s agenda on alcohol and its desire to increase regulation. As the majority of Britain’s pubs are small, family-run businesses, the impact has been severe. Business regulation has been on the rise generally, but a great deal of sector- specific regulation has hit pubs, and more is on the way. In combination, this has had a huge financial impact. In recent years, we have had major legislation covering regulations around gaming machines, noise, door supervision, and food safety. More regulation, in the shape of the previous government’s mandatory code on alcohol sales, has hit the industry in the last year. Some aspects of the code, such as the banning of free drinks for women and other irresponsible promotions, the BBPA has supported, but the code introduces a much deeper well of very detailed regulations on the way pubs are run - all of which adds to the cost of operating these small businesses.

‘When it comes to beer sales, the recent trend has also been disappointing. To September 2010, total sales were down by 3.6 per cent on the previous year. This represents a loss in beer sales of around 300m pints per year. So, while ontrade sales have fallen by 6.8 per cent in this period, there has been a small growth in the off-trade, which is showing a 0.3 per cent increase over the previous year.’ Moreover, the Comprehensive Spending Review had a sting in its

tail for the sector. The change in the operation of the government’s Climate Reduction Commitment will be costly and seems to remove the incentive to be green. The changes to the Carbon Reduction Commitment Energy Efficiency scheme, which will no longer be revenue-neutral, will cost some pubs over £2,000 each per annum. This is a tax which is discriminatory, as companies which have a particular ownership structure will pay, whilst others will not, and the cost could be in excess of over £5m for individual companies. Many brewers which operate pubs also have Climate Change Agreements, but their future is uncertain too. It is vital these agreements remain in some form to avoid the cost for business increasing still further.

‘If the government is to realise its ambition of regulating alcohol sales without damaging pubs, we need a rethink on tax yet, in January, we saw another increase in tax to be paid when VAT went up to 20 per cent.’ For carbon reduction incentives to work, there must be a ‘carrot and stick’ approach. When it comes to beer sales, the recent trend has also been disappointing. The BBPA publishes beer sales figures from breweries through its quarterly Beer Barometer. To September 2010, total sales were down by 3.6 per cent on the previous year. Although the decline is lower than in either of the previous two years, this represents a loss in beer sales of around 300m pints per year. So, while on-trade sales have fallen by 6.8 per cent in this period, there has been a small growth in the off-trade, which is showing a 0.3 per cent increase over the previous year. Although 60 per cent of beer is still sold in the on-trade, nearly 70 per cent

BLACK BOOK HOSPITALITY 2011

of all alcohol is sold in the off-trade. The continuous shift from on-trade towards off-trade sales raises serious issues for policy-makers and it is not clear that they are yet able to respond in a way that recognises the new realities in the industry. When it comes to the ever expanding raft of red tape and regulation that has been imposed upon the sector in recent years, it seems that government has relentlessly focused on the on-trade. If the government is to realise its ambition of regulating alcohol sales without damaging pubs, we need a rethink on tax yet, in January, we saw another increase in tax to be paid when VAT went up to 20 per cent. The government is currently

conducting a review of alcohol taxation, which could present a oncein-a-lifetime opportunity to get the balance right in our system of alcohol taxation. The BBPA believes that the government should recognise that beer is a low alcohol drink of choice and treat it differently. It should also abandon the beer duty escalator introduced under the previous administration, which raises beer taxation by two per cent above the rate of inflation at the Budget. Ironically, the government is not raising any more money from increasing taxation on beer â&#x20AC;&#x201C; indeed, it hurts the wider economy. In September 2010, as part of our submission to the governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s current

review of alcohol taxation, the BBPA published research showing that around 30,000 new jobs would be created if the system of alcohol taxation was rebalanced. The Oxford Economics data shows that the current tax system is discouraging the consumption of lower-strength drinks such as beer, which is resulting in lower tax revenues and fewer jobs. This is because the current UK tax regime is unfavourable to beer, which is low-strength, overwhelmingly UKproduced, and mostly consumed in pubs. Thousands of jobs could be created, mostly in pubs and the wider hospitality sector, if the duty system were rebalanced between different types of drinks. When it comes to UK HOSPITALITY BLACK BOOK 2011

keeping pubs open, this would be a major boost in helping the coalition to deliver on its own policies, as the new government has recognised the link between tax rises and pub closures. The change in approach would bring in around £250m in extra revenues from employment taxes and corporation tax. With significant new jobs created, the government’s social security bill would also be reduced. So, let us look at some of the great positives we need to demonstrate about the sector. Beer: the Natural Choice, a Beer Academy publication which looks at the misconceptions about beer, shows that 24 per cent of people wrongly think that red wine, rather than beer, contains the most vitamins and perhaps do not understand that 90 per cent of beer sold in the UK, is produced in the UK. It is a very British drink. Consumed in moderation and alongside a healthy lifestyle, beer will not cause obesity. Blaming the beer belly on beer is nonsense. Researchers in Spain reported that the bones of women who drink beer regularly were stronger, making them less likely to suffer from osteoporosis; only two

l UK HOSPITALITY BLACK BOOK 2011

per cent of people realise that beer contains a valuable source of silicon. The recent suggestion that we all need more vitamin B² (riboflavin), could be helped by drinking beer; it is a very rich source.

‘What is needed now is some clear cross-departmental work which really will have a positive effect on the viability of pubs. There is clearly support for pubs and their role in the community running shops, meals on wheels, school lunches, post offices and other services.’ The government is clearly listening to the plight of pubs and we now have a pubs minister sitting in the Department for Communities and Local Government. So far he has talked about the community buying their local pubs. This can, of course, work in some cases, particularly if ‘Pub is the Hub’ is involved, but it needs expertise. What is needed now is some clear cross-departmental work which really will have a positive effect on the viability of pubs. There is clearly

support for pubs and their role in the community running shops, meals on wheels, school lunches, post offices and other services. There is a link to the ‘Big Society’ with opportunities for pubs to be at the centre of this new policy and it is interesting that even the government, when it talks about the Big Society, inevitably gives pub-related examples. Pubs are certainly at the heart of our communities and like beer, are a very British institution. The growth in draft beer (which is really only found in Britain) and the interest in its taste and different varieties, offers us a platform on which to build. Every community loves its pub and local authorities are keen to keep them. They value their role in the community. Beer and pubs may be part of the alcohol industry but the vast majority of people who drink responsibly see pubs more as George Orwell did – as much about conversation, as for beer. So we should celebrate the British pub. As an industry which currently contributes some £28bn to the UK economy and employs over 600,000 direct jobs, it is a sector to be cherished and nourished.

Food and Service Management

TOUGH – BUT CONTRACTORS REMAIN CONFIDENT

Food Trends

Left: Companies providing catering services to industry – as BaxterStorey in the picture – offer a wide selection of dishes, attractively presented.

The past 12 months have been tough for the contracting sector but it’s survived in surprisingly good shape, says Phil Hooper, chairman of the Food and Service Management Forum.

gainst the tough economic background of the recession – and now the government’s austerity programme - the food and service management sector is surviving in better shape than many might have thought a year ago. It’s true that levels of employment in client companies in the business and industry segment have fallen, which has led to lower demand for meals, but other markets, particularly in the public sector, have held up remarkably well when seen against the generally poor economic background. And opportunities to provide full facilities management services for both new and existing clients are being enthusiastically taken up by food service providers. In my own company, Sodexo, FM services now account for almost as much as catering Clearly, food and service management companies are doing something right. Like most catering operators in the commercial sector, they’ve reacted to the recession by cutting costs – employment being by far their biggest single item of expenditure – and have continued to

extricate themselves from contracts which have been only marginally profitable. What remains is a sector that is leaner, more professional and, most important, potentially more profitable than before. Confidence that there is still growth is not misplaced with many companies believing that the recession will actually encourage more clients to out-source in-house catering facilities in favour of better managed (and thus less expensive) contracted catering. This is not to say that the last couple of years have not been tough. Clearly they have. Some major contracts have been lost because of client company closures; with employment falling, and forecast to fall further in the next 12 months, particularly in the public sector, meal take-up will take time to recover. As B&I represents half the FSM market any downturn here is potentially damaging. Nevertheless, one consequence of the recession is that customers who are taking advantage of using client dining facilities are tending to eat more meals in-house because of the good value they represent.

This is a good sign. As more people sample what the caterer has to offer, they are more likely to stick to eating in-house once the country moves out of recession, leading to a higher uptake in the future. Certainly, most caterers believe now is a great opportunity for them to tempt more people to taste, and enjoy, what they have to offer – and to keep them returning. However, one segment of the B&I market that has been particularly affected – and understandably so – is corporate hospitality. As client companies have cut back on entertaining, both in-house and at public events, caterers have also suffered. Few believe that that this segment of the market, which is dependent on an improvement in the general state of the economy, will recover anytime soon. In contrast to B&I, public sector catering has been largely unaffected by the recession so far – but there are ominous signs on the horizon. The squeeze on public spending will affect catering in education, healthcare and UK HOSPITALITY BLACK BOOK 2011

2011 Far right: Contractors such as Aramark are also tempting customers through liveaction theatre where dishes are cooked to order. Right: There is growth in providing support services other than catering particularly so for the larger companies for whom facilities management has become a growing, and increasingly important, market. But smaller companies, too, are beginning to recognise the potential in this market.

Food and Service Management

other public sectors. Even so, it is difficult to see demand for catering services in these markets decreasing significantly as patients will still need to be fed and school lunches, though under even greater cost pressures, remain critically important. Pressure to reduce costs, however, will have an impact and will be a major challenge for caterers. There is precious little slack in either the healthcare or the school meals budgets and cutting costs further will be extremely difficult to achieve and will endanger food quality and nutritional standards. Yet, even this step might not be the ill wind that many fear. There is some

optimism – borne out by results – that a squeeze on catering costs in the public sector will encourage local authorities and NHS Trusts to seek out less expensive, commercial alternatives to their in-house operations and thus open new opportunities for contractors. This also applies to facilities management services. Both in B&I and in other segments, there is growth in providing other support services and particularly so for the larger companies for whom FM has become an increasingly important market. But smaller companies, too, are beginning to recognise the potential in this market.

In fact, caterers have an advantage in this area because clients, eager to put all their support services in the hands of one company for ease of control, tend to believe that the catering company, being the more specialist and highly skilled, will be more able to take on other services such as cleaning and housekeeping, than vice versa. This trend is already apparent. Indeed, total non-catering turnover by catering companies now amounts to nearly 20 per cent of the total and growing. This is clearly a significant market which many companies will be keen to exploit as the country moves further out of recession.

Where do most visitors to the UK come from – and what do they spend? The principal change in source countries for UK tourism in recent years has been the inclusion of Poland

in the list of ten leading visitor countries – a direct result of the country’s accession to the European Union. The most noticeable other change is the drop in the number of US visitors in the decade – from

over 4m to 2.8m, with a consequent decline in revenue. European visitors traditionally spend far less per head than visitors from the US, which emphasises the importance of the US market to UK tourism.

Where do UK residents stay and how much do they spend? The most popular holiday regions – the south-west, south-east and north-west

– attract most visits, although London still earns over £2bn from domestic visitors. The capital, however, earns far more (£8.2bn) from overseas visitors;

Scotland (£1.36bn), the south west (£1bn) and the southeast (£1.8bn) are the most popular other regions for overseas visitors.

Statistics

Is Britain’s new VAT rate high? Yes - it’s the second equal highest of the EU countries. However, more significantly for the hospitality industry, most countries provide a reduced rate for hotel accommodation and many have a reduced rate for meals. These include the UK’s key European competitors – France, Spain and Italy.

A reduction in VAT for restaurant meals in France to 5.5 per cent and on hotel accommodation in Germany to seven per cent during 2010 stimulated a discussion in the UK on the level of VAT on hotel accommodation and restaurant meals. Those campaigning for a reduced rate for hospitality argue that lower rates in Europe disadvantage UK tourism and that a reduced rate

would encourage lower prices and greater consumer demand, thus creating more jobs. The BHA says that if UK tourism is to grow and develop, a continuing rate of 20 per cent will act as a decisive brake on that ambition.

How many jobs in the hospitality industry? More than many might think – and the industry is growing. The BHA, in

its report - The Economic Contribution of the Hospitality Industry – calculates 2.44m, rather higher than most previous estimates. Since 1998, this number has increased from 2.2m.

Given a favourable economic and political climate, the report reckons that a further 236,000 jobs can be created by 2015.

to total revenue has risen since 2004 – and will keep on rising. As a result, gross operating profit is declining, especially in

Yound Chef Young Waiter

GREAT FOOD, GREAT FOOD SERVICE ‘Young Chef Young Waiter is a stepping-stone to greater achievements’

ront of house staff have always been the poor relation to those in the kitchen. The chef has traditionally attracted all the best PR, to such an extent that the celebrity chef has raised the profile of cooking to levels that would have been thought impossible twenty years ago. Chef programmes dominate the television schedules with Gordon Ramsay, Heston Blumenthal, Raymond Blanc, James Martin and many, many others. All are household names, and new names are emerging all the time. It’s not because of their personalities that this has happened, though Gordon clearly takes his swearing as seriously as his cooking. The kitchen is a natural place for drama with its pressures and its deadlines, its triumphs and its tragedies, its tantrums and its swearing, its heat and its steam. It’s a ready-made stage for real-life television drama. In the kitchen, life is played out for real to the full. Robert Walton, populauly knows as Bob, is chairman of the industry’s Young Chef Young Waiter competition and president of The Restaurant Association. He believes that the celebrity chef has boosted the hospitality industry to new heights but that it’s time to recognize and praise the people in the front of house “Raising the profile of the chef to such

high levels has brought huge benefits to the industry,” he says. “It’s encouraged more young people into the industry, even though we are still suffering from skill shortages in all areas. The industry’s expansion has seen to that.” What’s even more encouraging to him is that so many of the restaurants serving great food are run by British born and trained chefs. “The renaissance of British cuisine has been truly remarkable and is due in large part to young people entering the industry in the wake of Gordon Ramsay and others.” And yet . . and yet. He believes that there are too many unsung heroes in the front of house, ”serving the customer brilliantly”, who get no recognition at all. “We have no celebrity waiters though there are plenty of them, all unsung, and they are all as skilled, in their own way, as the chefs whose food they serve.” As president of the RA, he’s concerned that the waiter, as a professional, has been put in the permanent shade by the rise of the celebrity chef. Chef apprenticeships have been around for years but apprenticeships for waiters have signally failed to get off the ground. He believes that one of the biggest industry gripes has been this lack of recognition of waiting staff with the

public perception all too often being of low skill, low intelligence and a grasping hand for a tip. “Michel Roux’s recent BBC 2 television series on Service in the early part of this year was a huge step in the direction of publicly acknowledging the vital role of front-of-house staff in the restaurant industry,” he says. . “Of course, a great restaurant demands great food – but it also demands great service. That is something that is so frequently forgotten.” He says that there’s many a restaurant that’s gone down the pan because some other key element – service, ambiance, welcome, style – has not been right. “Why the television series was so good is because it highlighted the skills needed on the restaurant floor – technical skills, customer service skills, organisational skills, knowledge. Everyone in the industry knows this to be the case but so so few members of the public do.” Bob Walton believes that what was so refreshing about the programme was to see so many of the industry’s leading restaurant managers and head waiters showing off the skills that they practice every day in front of the customer – their skills. “Of course,” he adds, “it’s ironic that Michael Roux should host this

Waiting is just as skilled as cooking – yet the chef gets all the accolades. But Robert Walton, president of The Restaurant Association, says that waiting is a profession which is just as important. In this interview with Miles Quest, he says that one of the main aims of The Restaurant Association is to promote craft skills. As chairman of the annual Young Chef Young Waiter competition he believes it is a stepping stone to greater achievements.

programme; his métier is in the kitchen. But the fact that he led the series so effectively and so calmly shows how closely the chef and the waiter have to work together in any restaurant.” Which brings him to The Restaurant Association and to the Young Chef Young Waiter competition. As a past chairman and currently the president, he’s had a long involvement with the association and all its events. Young Chef Young Waiter has been running for over 25 years and was designed by the association to highlight the contribution that both the chef and the waiter make towards ensuring perfect customer satisfaction. He cites many illustrious names who have competed - notably Marcus Wareing (now at The Berkeley) and Mark Sargeant (formerly head chef with Gordon Ramsay and currently carving out a television career himself) while two previous Young Waiter winners were Simon King, formerly of the Ritz but now front of house operations manager at The Fat Duck, Bray, and Simon Gurling who is currently responsible for all the restaurants and private dining at The Ritz. The chef judges, too, under Bruce Poole of Chez Bruce, work in many Michelin-starred restaurants. They include Angela Hartnett (Murano), Theo Randall (Theo Randall at the

l UK HOSPITALITY BLACK BOOK 2011

InterContinental), Shane Osborn (Pied à Terre) and David Everitt Matthias (Le Champignon Sauvage). The waiter judges, under Stephen Mannock, from the National Skills Academy for Hospitality include Jean-Claude Breton (Gordon Ramsay) Andrew McKennzie (The Vineyard at Stockcross), Jeremy Rata (Bovey Castle) and Beppo Buchanan Smith (Isle of Eriska Hotel). But Bob Walton believes that Young Chef Young Waiter is more than a competition judged by some of the industry’s top professionals. “It’s also an education for those taking part. “I’ve no doubt that the winners of today will be the celebrity chefs and celebrity waiters tomorrow.” In his third year as chairman of the competition – and more enthusiastic about it with each passing year – he’s keen to see it grow and expand. Already, he’s made his mark on it. He persuaded the von Essen hotel group to offer two of their hotels as the venue for the waiter part of the two regional competitions. This enabled the waiters to compete in a real-life service situation. The von Essen group is now a headline sponsor with Nick Romano, the group’s managing director (and an ex-wine waiter himself ) one of the competition’s

main cheer leaders. “That upped the game of YCYW hugely,” says Bob Walton. “It’s now at a different level and is a real test of skill and confidence. What is so good about the competition is that few who enter do not emerge wiser and more skilled.” He urges all managers to encourage their most talented chefs and waiters to enter and is convinced that that the competition can grow and develop into something even bigger “That would be a lasting legacy,” he says.

Robert Walton MBE is president of the Restaurant Association and chairman of Young Chef Young Waiter competion. He is proprietor of Trunkwell Mansion House, Reading. Young Chef Young Waiter is one of the major competitions in the industry supported by many sponsors, including the Savoy Educational Trust, Laurent Perrier, Nestlé Professional, Wild Harvest and Caterer & Hotelkeeper and organised by The Restaurant Association.

HOTEL PROPERTY SALES MAKE A SLOW RECOVERY Right: Acting on behalf of Gresham Hotel Group, Christie + Co sold the Park Inn Hyde Park, London, to a private buyer for an undisclosed sum, with oﬀers in excess of £35m sought.

Confidence and trading performance levels continued to improve for UK hotels in 2010, but a slow recovery in terms of values and deal activity is likely to remain the main route for the sector in 2011, says Jeremy Hill, head of hotels for Christie & Co.

or the majority of 2009 the hotel property market was hampered by a lack of finance. Whilst a flood of funding did not appear in 2010, there was equity in the marketplace and the market is more robust than 12 months ago, with more equity available. However would-be buyers are looking for realistically-priced opportunities. From our conversations with investors and owners, there was, and continues to be, a pent-up desire to do deals, which wasn’t the case during most of 2009. A lack of quality stock also continued to be a key problem, as many potential sellers look to hold onto their assets waiting for values to recover. Christie + Co’s average price index, which uses average price information derived from hotel transactions brokered by the company, shows that hotel property prices were relatively static in 2010. Whilst there was an increase in average prices achieved for London assets in 2010, this increase was counterbalanced by a slight decrease in the provinces, which led to a negligible increase of 0.1 per cent for the UK 52

l UK HOSPITALITY BLACK BOOK 2011

overall, compared to a decline of 19.5 per cent in the previous year. Although the downturn has claimed some notable casualties, the number of company failures has been lower than initially feared, with the Eton Collection and Pedersen Hotels being the only notable exceptions during the year. At the same time, the banks have been more supportive than many imagined. They are looking to restructure, reset covenants, explore debt for equity swaps, and only place assets into administration as a last resort. They have also been more willing to allow owners to trade through the cycle in order to avoid huge write downs. Capital returns The uplift in trading across the capital and the weakness of the pound is

attracting a number of cash-rich, overseas buyers, as well as a number of domestic players, to opportunities in London. This increased interest, coupled with growing pressure from lenders, led to a number of London’s major hotel assets being placed onto the market and an increase in deal activity. During last summer we witnessed a marked increase in the number of substantial single asset deals completed, especially in London. As we witnessed with the sales of the Park Inns in Russell Square and Hyde Park, which were sold for figures in the region of £45m and £35m respectively, large numbers of interested parties quickly materialise as soon as a quality hotel, which is realistically priced, comes to the market in the capital.

BLACK BOOK

HOSPITALITY 2011

The sale of the Park Inn London, Russell Square highlighted the type of asset that banks lend on in the current economic climate. According to Lloyds TSB Corporate, a lending deal for Crimson on the hotel was agreed within a month. Despite debt remaining harder to obtain, a number of private equity groups, high-net worth individuals and sovereign wealth funds continue to seek opportunities in key markets. Recovery slower in the regions In comparison to London, the regional markets remained more susceptible to outside influences, such as government spending cuts, but there were signs during 2010 of a recovery taking place in terms of trading and deal activity. Whilst we witnessed some examples

of established operators acquiring regional assets, such as Charlton House Hotel and Cricklade Country Hotel & Golf Club, the majority of interested parties continued to hold a watching brief on the market, occasionally taking a closer look at these more significant assets, but never landing on a deal. Despite seeing signs of renewed interest in well-located hotels, a lack of available quality stock continues to be a problem in the provinces, underlining the sense of inertia that has dogged deal activity across this market in the last two years. Long road ahead but opportunities remain There currently exists a fine line in the level of pricing of hotel assets, which

will either generate multiple bids or none at all. If deal activity is to return to pre-downturn levels, there will need to be a sensible pricing of assets to ensure genuine buyers seriously engage in any process. Whilst the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;golden age of business travelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; may have passed in the wake of the downturn and been replaced somewhat by a rise in the leisure market, there have been recent signs of increased activity in the corporate market, with many of the leading hotel operators talking up its return. At the same time, the weakness in the pound continues to make the UK attractive to overseas visitors, although the fall in the Euro could offset any gain forecast from the European leisure market. The hotel sector is entering a crucial stage of its recovery. Whilst there are signs that operating performance is stabilising, there are also indications that the recovery will be slow and prolonged. As trading continues to recover and banks come under further pressure to sell assets and to lend, it is hoped that this will lead to an increase in further stock being brought to the market and an easing of the deal activity logjam. Those who move first will be surprised at the prices that can still be achieved for the right asset.

Asset Management

MAXIMISING THE VALUE OF YOUR ASSET hotel’s performance, the property should be groomed to prepare the asset for sale in the open market. In essence, the grooming process examines those factors both internal (i.e. within the owner/operator’s control) and external, which are most likely to have an impact on the eventual sales price of the property and proactively tries to improve them. INTERNAL FACTORS Operational efficiency Hotels are primarily valued based on their income stream; it is therefore vital for hoteliers to maximise EBITDA:

Before you sell your hotel it’s important to groom the asset to obtain the best price in an open market. Erlend Heiberg, principal and Alexandra van Pelt, senior consultant at Horwath HTL UK explain how to optimise the achievable sales price.

fter a period of inactivity in the UK hotel transaction market, we are now starting to see some fresh deals completing successfully. For any hotel owner who is considering a potential future exit it is worth considering now how best to prepare their property for market. In order to optimise the value achievable on sale and streamline an 54

t Protect existing revenue streams and identify new ones where possible; t Review pricing strategy to realise optimum RevPAR levels; t Improve profit conversion through considered cost reduction measures where appropriate; whilst t Maintaining marketing spend (which is often cut at a time when it should be enhanced). Strategic presentation of the business Ensure transparency and adherence to industry standards with regards to the corporate structure and accounts in order to give a potential purchaser a full understanding of the asset in question. In addition, it is important to reduce the number of contractual and tax issues that may impact value, such as lease terms and rateable values. Asset maintenance Ensure the property is as well maintained as possible to reduce price discounting. This need not necessarily involve heavy capital expenditure, but rather careful use of available funds and in-house maintenance resources.

Asset best use Consideration must be given to the hotel’s current layout and whether it could be reconfigured to optimise the floorplate, thereby increasing the hotel’s revenue generating space. Any development potential, such as planning permission and cost estimates, should also be examined. Client/guest approach An hotel’s standing is vital in order to retain customers and continue attracting new clients. Hoteliers must therefore continue to manage price/ quality expectations ensuring that the hotel is perceived as a well known and well operated entity in the market. EXTERNAL FACTORS Hotel market Understanding the hotel’s operating market is essential as hotels are trading assets and valued according to their current and future trading potential. This will enable the hotelier to adopt a more considered approach to market. Competition Competition should be observed, enabling the hotelier to understand whether the hotel is outperforming its counterparts or, crucially, underperforming them. Monitoring what the competition is doing and understanding how that affects their performance can provide owners and managers with useful insight into what changes they might make to improve their own results. Transfer of debt It is worth considering whether a potential loan on the asset could be transferred to a new owner and on what terms. This is particularly pertinent in today’s market since it is improbable that a new buyer will obtain the same debt levels given to the current owner.

Left: Good presentation and condition can help to maximise value.

Yields Monitor yield movements, investment market trends, purchasers of similar hotels and comparable transactions/ properties to give an accurate and current understanding of the investment market. This will give an insight into the likely future sales price, ensuring that the hotel is tendered at the optimum time in order to realise maximum value. While these phases will not change the external investment climate, they aim to ensure that hoteliers/owners have done all they can to ready the asset for disposal and maximise their return on investment. In order to maximise the sales

price, one of the principal goals in the grooming process is to mitigate the potential purchasersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; risk perception and restrict any deductions made during the due diligence process. This will allow for a calculated premium for potential upside. In todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s market owners can unlock any latent value in their asset through more dynamic ownership. Importantly, this market-focused process will ensure that the asset appeals to a greater pool of prospective investors.

After a two year total refurbishment costing over £220m, London’s Savoy Hotel, now operated by the Canadian-based Fairmont Hotels, re-opened on 10/10/10. Its long-awaited re-appearance on the London hotel scene proved to

be one of the industry’s highlights of the year. The other major refurbishment in London – the Four Seasons in Park Lane – cost over £120m. The picture (bottom right) shows the hotel’s Aramanto Lounge.

MAJOR HOTEL TRANSACTIONS in 2010 and early 2011

owards the end of 2010, an increasing number of hotels came onto the market or were subject to some significant refinancing. Macdonald Hotels arranged a £340m refinancing package with Lloyds while the cash-strapped, 40-strong Jarvis Hotels group, with a £122m debt, was in discussions with RBS as we go to press after the bank failed to find a buyer. Akkeron Hotels, launched in 2009, acquired the 18-strong Forestdale Hotels last December and in early 2011 bought Midlands-based Butterfly Hotels (10) out of administration. Mint Hotel (formerly City Inns)

with father and son owner, Sandy and David Orr, confirmed it is looking for a joint equity partner to help grow the business into the future. The Maypole Group went into administration in late 2010 but there has been interest from prospective buyers. Balls Brothers, the well known London wine bar group, fell by the wayside in 2010 but was bought by Novus Leisure which operates Tiger Tiger bar and party venues. The Barclay brothers, who already own the Ritz, started 2011 by seeking control of the Maybourne Hotel Group (Claridge’s, The Connaught and Berkeley hotels in London) and are in talks with Bank of Scotland

and investor, Derek Quinlan. Von Essen, one of Britain’s fastest growing top-end hotel groups, announced that it is looking for a long-term equity partner. Britannia Hotels bought Pontins’ five holiday parks out of administration in January 2011. Meanwhile, Premier Inn has engaged King Sturge to seek out 47 properties across London and Travelodge has plans to build 35 hotels (3,667 rooms) in 2011. And in line with its plans to increase its hotel stock in the UK to 300 by 2015, Accor has recently signed franchise agreements with hotel operators for 12 Mercure hotels and three All Seasons – with more to follow.

Franchising

FRANCHISING GAINS IN UK HOTEL EXPANSION with branded properties driving growth

The financial structure of the UK hotel industry has changed much over the past decade with third party ownership of hotels becoming increasingly common. At the same time, the major hotel companies have divested their assets and have increasingly concentrated on the development of their brands to drive growth. Many are now prepared to franchise to third party developer-owneroperators. Consultant Melvin Gold forecasts that franchising will become even more prevalent in the future.

ranchising is not new to the UK hotel market, but it has undergone rapid growth in recent years and its structure is changing. Implicit in the British Franchise Association (BFA) definition is that a franchise business needs to be well defined, almost standardised, so that the franchisor can determine the offer and monitor the performance standards; equally, the franchisee knows what is expected and is able to achieve the objective. One of the key factors in franchising is that the ultimate brand is not compromised by the franchising model and that the customer experience is consistently achieved. A franchisee operating a poor standard franchise damages the whole brand. In the hotel 64

l UK HOSPITALITY BLACK BOOK 2011

world the model lends itself most easily to the mid and budget markets. Not that the upper tier of the market lacks in delivery to the customer but it is more individualistic in style and that makes for a more difficult definition of standards and consistency of delivery. Think of franchising in the UK and

some obvious brand names come to mind: KFC, McDonaldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, Subway and Dominoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Pizza in the food service sector, and Body Shop, Benetton and Cartridge World on the high street. In fact the BFA claims that the franchising industry in the UK is worth ÂŁ11.8bn with 842 franchising systems on offer

BLACK BOOK HOSPITALITY 2011

and over 465,000 people employed by franchisees. Not small then, and not confined to the best known brands. Franchising in the UK hotel industry has changed in a number of ways. It wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t that long ago that Whitbread held the master franchise for the Marriott brand in the UK and the Real

Hotel Company (formerly Friendly Hotels) held the master franchise for Choice Hotels Internationalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s brands such as Quality Inn, Clarion, Sleep Inn and Comfort Inn. Those days are long gone and most of the major companies that are franchising their hotel brands in

Source: Melvin Gold Consulting research What is franchising? According to the BFA the term franchising can be used to describe many business relationships, but typically the most relevant for hotel industry purposes is business format franchising. This is “the granting of a license by one person (the franchisor) to another (the franchisee), which entitles the franchisee to trade under the trade mark/trade name of the franchisor and to make use of an entire package, comprising all the elements necessary to establish a previously untrained person in the business and to run it with continual assistance on a predetermined basis. . . . Each business outlet is owned and operated by the franchisee. However, the franchisor retains control over the way in which products and services are marketed and sold, and controls the quality and standards of the business.” Jarvis Hotels originally held the UK master franchise for the Ramada brand – now owned by Wyndham although it has changed hands several times in recent years – but now, although all 66

l UK HOSPITALITY BLACK BOOK 2011

its properties are operated under that brand, other franchises of the brand are permitted, a process managed directly by Wyndham. Jarvis is a major, but no longer master, franchisee. In global terms five of the top six of the world’s largest hotel companies – InterContinental Hotels Group (IHG), Wyndham Hotel Group, Hilton Hotels Corporation, Accor and Choice Hotels International — are active in the UK market through franchising. The exception is Marriott International. Indeed, at present Wyndham and Choice are only active through franchising whereas the others are also variously active through other business models including management agreements, leases and in limited cases, through development and ownership. Wyndham has stated that it will consider management agreements in the future but the methodology to achieve that, and for what type of properties is not yet clear. Interestingly the UK’s two largest budget hotel chains, Premier Inn and Travelodge, have shied away from

the franchising model despite having products which would apparently lend themselves to it. Travelodge has two properties in mainland UK that are operating under franchise, both being a legacy from previous ownership. The group also sold its Irish operation as a master franchise for that territory in 2004 and currently there are 11 properties under that franchise. Premier Inn does not operate through franchising. The only company in the UK budget hotel market that started up as a pure franchising operation is easyhotel. The group now has 14 hotels in operation, five in the UK, eight in the rest of Europe and recently saw its first Middle East hotel open in Dubai. In this case the company is leveraging the ‘easy’ brand rather than initially having the brand presence in the hotel sector of the other big hotel companies. In table 1 above the major franchising companies in the UK are listed, with the brands that they are likely to offer to franchise, together with approximate market positioning.

Source: InterContinental Hotels Group (as at 30 June 2010) per cent of its worldwide hotels but only 75 per cent in the EMEA region. This is mainly due to the fact that in the USA the company started as an almost pure franchising company; international expansion has seen the need to incorporate different operating models. However Holiday Inn Express, the newest mass roll-out brand, has been launched in Europe as almost entirely a franchise model. The company invested in a few properties to ‘light the blue touch paper’ under the brand’s launch and then left the rest to the franchisee community. Although there were a few teething issues it did not take long for the brand to attract franchisee interest, especially in the UK. Even today over 110 of the group’s EMEA portfolio of 199 properties are in the UK. Indigo, a new lifestyle brand has seen the launch of its first two EMEA properties in the UK under a franchising model although Staybridge Suites, an extended stay brand, has been held in close check with IHG wishing to manage the initial properties. It is accepted that ultimately this brand will

roll out as a franchise brand, but not yet. Currently Wyndham and Choice are only operating in the UK under franchise models (although Wyndham does manage the Wyndham Grand at Chelsea Harbour as the exception). Wyndham has over 6,500 rooms operating under the Ramada brand, around 4,000 rooms through the Days Inn/Hotels brands, and approximately 2,200 through Ramada Encore. Choice’s UK portfolio comprises around 45 hotels with approximately 3,000 rooms, mainly under the Quality and Comfort brands. Hilton’s original UK portfolio is largely managed but its new brands are being brought in under a predominantly franchising model although they will undertake management agreements if preferred by a developer/owner. Accor, already Europe’s largest hotel company, is now offering franchises although this business model is in its infancy. An article in Caterer & Hotelkeeper in September 2010 confirmed that just eight of the company’s 144 UK hotels are currently

franchised. The ambition is to grow the total portfolio to 300 hotels in the next five years, with 90 of those being franchised. The flexible Mercure and All Seasons brands are expected to be the driving force behind this growth. This objective suggests that Accor, like many of the hotel brands and the consortia, has recognised that the future for UK hotels will be in branding. Accor’s flexible brands are intended to have particular appeal to independent hoteliers seeking a brand within which their hotel will fit. I expect around 60 per cent of the total UK serviced accommodation market to be branded by 2027 based on a 20-year view I took in a study for Travelodge in 2007. Already the market has moved from 38 per cent in 2007 to 42 per cent in 2010 and even that does not fully take account of hotels that are part of consortia. It may seem curious that such big companies have preferred a business model that offers them relatively little control of customer facing UK HOSPITALITY BLACK BOOK 2011

activity. As the BFA acknowledges though, the franchisor effectively sets the standards and ensures they are maintained. Careful vetting of franchisees and monitoring of their performance is therefore critical. The big companies are attracted by the limited capital investment required, most having embraced the asset-light model. Reduced capital and the ability to work through a broad-based franchisee network should enable more rapid network growth and better local knowledge (many franchisees are ‘local’ to a particular operating area). Return on Investment Return on investment is relatively limited, not least because capital expenditure is low, and a steady stream of fee income from an expanding network is an attractive proposition. It does depend on size and growth though, and for the franchisees, who now have a choice of brands to choose from, brand strength is key. The brand has to produce business. That depends on brand strength and marketing and a strong reservations system and online presence. The brands may have made the offer but will the franchising community accept? Can they accept? In part that depends on the availability of 68

l UK HOSPITALITY BLACK BOOK 2011

finance. Most franchisees are small or medium sized companies and, given the economic environment, may have financial stress in their existing businesses and a difficulty in raising further capital from the banks. The increasing number of available brands is therefore only one part of the story and the claimed development pipelines of the big brands increasingly depends on the ability of third parties to be able to realise new development or to be willing to attach a brand to existing independent properties. Even this requires capital – the properties have to be brought to compliance with brand standards. As well as financing requirements hotel owners and developers have to consider the cost of the fees payable to the franchisor and the costs of ensuring continued compliance with brand standards. For independent owners this is a huge issue because currently they are their own boss in this regard, able to control capital expenditure to their own timescale and pocket. That luxury departs with a franchise although undoubtedly compliance with brand standards will be better for customers in ensuring more consistent standards. Fees are many and various and their

quantum varies between the brands. There would normally be an initial fee based on the number of bedrooms, a franchise fee based on a percentage of rooms revenue, system and reservation fees per reservation, and marketing fees. Normally there are no additional fees in respect of food and beverage and other revenue. Nonetheless for an existing property owner this cost has to be considered against the incremental revenue and profit that will be generated by a brand that is well known. Franchising will no doubt continue its growth in the UK hotel industry in the years to come as the big companies seek to get bigger. Banks are likely to prefer to see a brand over the door rather than an independent operation and with the influence of the internet and third party agents coming to the fore, hoteliers will increasingly need to find a viable route to market through these important revenue generating sources. Hoteliers – the big and the small – will no doubt rise to the challenge. So there is little doubt that franchising will become an increasingly prevalent business model in the UK hotel industry.

Hotel consortia

HOTEL CONSORTIA: Are they always what they appear to be? However, the term hotel marketing consortium is often used to cover a wide range of organisations and their services, which is slightly misleading because not all are genuine consortia. Indeed, for simplicity, many of the various marketing services that are offered to independent hotels can be categorised under five main headings: 1. 2. 3. 4.

Many independent hoteliers have become confused about what constitutes a genuine hotel marketing consortium, says Len Louis, chief executive, Classic British Hotels. There is a plethora of hotel marketing services being offered to independent hotels in the UK market today but not all are genuine consortia.

otel consortia were created with the aim of getting independent hoteliers in different parts of the country together in order to pool their marketing resources. As a result, so the theory went, they could promote themselves more effectively as a group than they were able to do independently. The idea was sound but not all consortia have succeeded – both Inter-Hotel and Consort are now part of Best Western while Grand Heritage/ Distinguished disappeared several years ago. The advantage of a consortium is that for a relatively modest cost (less than the cost of a full time marketing assistant in some cases), an independent hotel is able to compete on a more level playing field with the growing strength of the major brands.

Global technology, reservation and distribution companies Hotel marketing consortia International representation embellishers Publishers and publications (with bells and whistles) Mutual websites

Global technology, reservation and distribution companies The three leaders in this field are Pegasus Solutions, Sabre Hospitality Solutions and Trust International. They all provide end-to-end reservation distribution systems and reservation technology systems for the global hospitality industry. They specialise in providing the infrastructure for seamless connectivity to Global Distribution Systems (GDS) and Alternate Distribution Systems (ADS), giving access ‘to search and shop’ on a real-time basis. Pegasus Solutions has a representation service for independent hotels trading as Utell. Sabre Hospitality Solutions and Trust International work mainly with hotel groups, hotel consortia and representation companies. They do not as a general rule work with independent hotels, unless they are large independent properties in key locations. Although all three companies provide an excellent global service to the hospitality industry, their size, structure and resources are not really geared to supporting the needs of independent hotels in the UK that require specific support and development in their domestic market.

Hotel marketing consortia What is the main purpose of a consortium? Principally, it is to enable independent hotels to compete on an equal footing with the major global and national hotel groups in different aspects of their business - technology, marketing, sales, reservations and training – all in order to generate revenue and increase RevPAR. In other words, a consortium gives an independent hotelier the benefit of economies of scale which would otherwise be unavailable to him; it is able to provide what an independent hotel cannot provide either on its own or cost effectively. Usually, the market focus is on corporate and consumer accommodation (transient stays, packages, breaks and holidays), meetings and events and ad hoc groups. This generally involves business planning, preferred priority partnerships with third parties, participation in major volume tenders, inclusion in key corporate programmes, participation in national and global consumer programmes, partnership promotions with major brands, loyalty programmes, skilled database marketing, social media commerce, providing cutting-edge new technology, central reservations service and quality assessments – and more. What constitutes an authentic hotel marketing consortium for independent hotels? There are some very basic services that should be found in any good hotel consortium. For example: ■ Hotel members Are the hotel members independent? If there are some high profile major branded hotels within the independent collection, then it is not a hotel consortium but either a third party promotional vehicle or a representation company.

BLACK BOOK HOSPITALITY 2011

■ Own GDS chain code A strong hotel marketing consortium will have is own unique GDS chain code applicable to its specific hotel collection or brand, which all its hotel members must be under. This enables the consortium to promote themselves as a unified group on the GDS and to the major corporate agents booking on the systems. ■ Critical mass To be effective, a UK hotel consortium for independent hotels needs to have a critical mass of properties across the UK. Those marketing organisations that have hotels mainly in London are more likely to be representation companies.

■ Properties to staff ratio Most independent hotels are looking for support and guidance in developing their business. An organisation with a steady manageable growth and expanding central office team is important. Organisations that claim to be growing rapidly in number of new properties should setoff warning bells. ■ Hotel contracts These generally vary between two to three years, as it takes up to two years to see the full benefits of a hotel consortium. Strong hotel consortia do not have contracts for six months or a year, as it is most likely to fail; neither do they have two or three year contracts on a rolling basis where the hotel is trapped if it decides to leave.

Hotel consortia

■ Exclusivity The more structured hotel consortia insist on exclusivity, where their members are not allowed to belong to any other hotel consortium. This enables the consortium to speak and negotiate exclusively for its member hotels and also avoids customers being faced with a collection of competing logos on one hotel. Weak consortia generally have no exclusivity on membership. ■ Quality grading and branding A good hotel consortium has clearly defined quality standards for its member hotels and regular quality assessments. It trades under a specific brand or collection that is promoted to consumers and clients alike. This contrasts with a third party GDS provider or distributor, where any hotel that joins is routinely plugged into their systems.

Hotel marketing consortia in the UK Best Western Hotels GB In 1967, the hotel members of Interchange Hotels Great Britain elected to join Best Western International, the US non-profit making organisation. Each country operates independently under the Best Western name. Best Western International sets the total branding policy of the hotels worldwide. Although the hotels are independent, they are perceived as a hotel chain. In virtually every country, the board is made up entirely of hotel members, with the executive team in attendance. Best Western GB is the longest established hotel marketing consortium in the UK and the largest. During the 1990s it transformed its membership profile, culminating in 1998 with over 230 upscale three- and four-star hotels. This changed in 1999 on its merger with Consort Hotels, which brought in a large number of two- and three-star hotels, increasing the total number to 400 hotels. This was the turning point for Best Western, as its hotel mix in the years that followed began to change and it became more difficult to attract upscale hotels. In the last five years there has been a re-positioning of Best Western as a mainly three-star mid-market brand, which has stabilised the group and in 2010 it undertook a television advertising campaign for the first time. All members are exclusive to Best Western, use BW as their GDS chain code and are well represented in the corporate market. The cost of membership consists of a joining fee of £1,995 and annual membership fees of £270 per bedroom with a minimum charge based on 30 bedrooms. A 50-bedroom hotel for example would pay £13,500 per annum in membership fees. The group has 274 hotels with over 15,000 bedrooms in Great Britain. It also offers a buying service (not exclusively to BW members). www.bestwestern.co.uk

Hotel consortia

Classic British Hotels Classic British Hotels was formed in April 2001, as a non-traditional hotel marketing consortium, specifically to enable top three- and four-star independent hotels to compete effectively with the national and global quality branded hotel groups. The joining fees are from £1,850 and annual membership fees are based on the number of bedrooms. Although service levels are high, Classic British Hotels’ fees are positioned at the lower end of the major hotel consortia. A 50-bedroom hotel for example would pay £10,800 per annum in membership fees, which are inclusive of a wide range of services including the GDS maintenance system fees - commissionfree bespoke hotel website booking engine and a total purchasing service. All hotels are independently owned and exclusive to Classic British Hotels. They are inspected and classified by grading and style and supported by a specialist team, all under the Classic British CB chain code on the GDS. The group has 88 upscale, mainly four- star hotels across the UK, with plans to launch a Red Stars Collection specifically targeting AA four red and five-star hotels. www.classicbritishhotels.com Pride of Britain In 1982, a small group of top hoteliers, led by Gerald Milsom, started the Pride of Britain consortium. It is a non-profit-making British organisation controlled by its members – fine quality small hotels. Membership is limited to no more than 50 properties and it currently has 38 hotel members; many of them are quite small, the average size being 36 bedrooms. Its name is a great asset. There is no rule preventing Pride of Britain members from belonging to other consortia and several are also members of Small Luxury Hotels. The consortium has been trying to persuade Relais & Châteaux to relax its rules to allow dual membership. Pride of Britain has no formal links with third party travel companies and its marketing programme is almost entirely directed towards consumers here in Britain; it does not have its own GDS chain code (for the type of properties within the group, the GDS is probably of low importance). The annual membership fee is £7,000 per hotel, plus a room levy of £250 per room, which is capped at 25 rooms. A 30-bedroom hotel for example would pay £14,500 per annum in membership fees. www.prideofbritainhotels.com Relais & Châteaux This was founded in France in 1954, and has grown into a global group of 475 hotels and restaurants in 55 countries. Belonging to Relais & Châteaux is all about an exclusive membership, at the heart of which are four core values: a family spirit, a sense of place, a perception of luxury and a harmony between character, charm, courtesy, cuisine and calm. Hotels must be less than 100 bedrooms, with a high quality gourmet restaurant and operating for at least a year under the same management. All hotels must be exclusive to Relais & Châteaux. The quality of its members’ establishments coupled with its long established name creates its own customer following. Although a quirky organisation it is, in many respects, very traditional. Its membership fees are at the top-end of hotel consortia and range from £30,000 per annum upwards. In the UK there are 25 hotels with an average of 29 bedrooms. www.relaischateaux.com Small Luxury Hotels of the World In 1991, Prestige Hotels Europe and Small Luxury Hotels & Resorts of North America merged to form Small Luxury Hotels of the World (SLH). In 1992, SLH outsourced its global management to Hill Goodridge & Associates. Whilst the elected board of directors sets the fees and is responsible for accepting and rejecting hotels, it is Hill Goodridge and Associates which formulates and executes the strategy for over 480 hotels in more than 70 countries. The average hotel size is 49 bedrooms. There is a minimum three-year membership. The initial joining fee is £15,000, regardless of size of hotel. The annual membership fee is £12,000 for the first 20 rooms and £145 per room from 21 to 150 rooms. All SLH hotels must be under its GDS chain code LX. However, they can join other hotel consortia and a number of them have also chosen to join Pride of Britain. In the UK, SLH has 30 hotels with an average of 55 bedrooms. www.slh.com 72

Publishers and publications These generally offer very narrowly defined services and target specific sectors. They operate around the fringes of the hotel consortia market and in some cases complement their services. None of them operates on an exclusive basis. Johansens The Johansen accommodation guides

are probably the best-known in the hotel industry. Prior to their purchase in September 2001 by CondĂŠ Nast, there was one main hotel accommodation guide which all hotels that were featured displayed in their front lobby. Today there are several guides that a hotel in the UK needs to be featured in to get the same exposure, particularly with the emergence of more competitive niche publications. Johansens features over 1,000 annually inspected hotels, spas, inns, resorts and venues from over 67 countries in six guides. The hotels that appear to derive the most benefit from these guides are the more opulent luxury properties with grand images. For the right properties, the CondĂŠ Nast Johansens accommodation and venue guides can complement the services provided by the major hotel consortia. Best Loved Hotels Back in 1993, the Best Loved publication was dreamt up as an addition or alternative to Johansens. Today, Best Loved Hotels is a wholly owned subsidiary of World Media Publishing Limited, created in a management buy-out in December 1999. Around 50,000 copies of its main guide are published each year. Various market sectors are targeted by their publications. Consumers on their database receive almost daily emails, each featuring a small sample of their properties! Like Johansens, it provides a niche service, but on a smaller scale. Mr & Mrs Smith The first Mr & Mrs Smith guidebook was published in 2003. It came out at a time when ratings and reviews from fellow customers were beginning to carry more weight in guiding consumer choice. The publication positioned itself as being conceived by a couple of fellow travellers, advising

the consumer of their experiences in hotels. The publication was well received. With the growth and strength of TripAdvisor today for hotel ratings and reviews, the product has become more commercial. It continues to target hotels at the upper end, from two bedrooms upward, and has gone on to add more commercial services.

Hotel consortia

International representation embellishers There are many international representation companies that have magnificent names and attract some of the finest hotels. Some target specific niche hotels through their property style. The representation companies are invariably linked to one of the major global technology, reservation and distribution companies and provide a similar service at a higher price but with more bells and whistles. Many of the services are re-packaged under impressive names to differentiate them. Representation companies are generally successful in generating business in the major international cities, where the strength of their global technology, reservation and distribution company is strongest. Outside these cities, many of them struggle to generate business, as they have neither the domestic clout nor the resources to support independent provincial hotels. Leading Hotels of the World, for example represents more than 450 luxury hotels in 80 countries but the members are not all independent as they include hotels from well-known brands. Although Leading Hotels has its own GDS chain code, over 20 per cent of members will use their own recognised branded GDS chain code instead. The name of this collection is its greatest asset, as it stimulates customer demand in international locations.

The Circle Founded in 1997 and targeting mainly Inns and B&Bs, and the lower end of the small independent hotel market in Great Britain, the main services it offers are a directory and participation in a number of tour operator programmes, with a low subscription fee. It has over 450 inns and small hotels and over 500 B&Bs. The Independents Hotel Association Founded in 1992 by an ex-hotelier on the basis of creating a network of hotels that actively promote each other in order to gain national exposure, it produces a hotel guide distributed within the 150 mainly two-star and some three-star hotels from four rooms upwards. Proud not to be involved with the Global Distribution Systems, it charges a low annual fee.

Mutual Websites We have also seen the growth of mutual websites, in which a number of hoteliers work together under an umbrella name or destination, with the simple aim of promoting themselves to the consumer and even to promote each otherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s property. These are commendable marketing activities and in many cases generate business but they are not consortia and do not contribute to the overall development of the properties or their hotel teams in competing with the major quality brands in a fast changing global market.

BRITAIN’S TOP HOTELS

he AA’s collection of 90 fivestar hotels represents Britain’s top hotels, with the red star establishments singled out as being the inspector’s choice – ie: of the highest standard. This list, however, is not entirely comprehensive as some hotels are not included in the AA scheme and some four red star hotels may be of as high a standard and quality but may not have all the facilities of a five star property. Nevertheless, the list includes the country’s finest hotels although the inclusion of some, and the omission of others, generates constant controversy.

Achieve balance with Purelosophy of Switzerland!

There are 300 million wellness consumers today in the world’s 30 wealthiest countries. An International Spa Association survey estimated that there are about 200 million active spa-goers just within 11 of those states. Many of them are also frequent globe-trotters who seek to balance out the taxing stresses of modern travel in a healthy, natural, convenient and efficacious way. What can hospitality offer to meet this wellbeing demand? Luxury hotel operators witness that the spa-equipped properties consistently enjoy higher ADR and RevPAR than those that are not. But with so many hotels now fitted out with wellness facilities, further differentiation is being sought. Some top hotels now experiment with taking wellness spirit out of its usual “spa box” and bringing it into new physical locations. F&B products with spa DNA and healing skincare are not only logical carriers but also bring thought, innovation and personal touch to traditional fare. And in doing so, the premium priced convenience suddenly acquires appeal and value. Purelosophy from Switzerland was designed to help busy urbanites to deal with mental and physical stress. Purelosophy AG has been building its brand awareness primarily in prestige hospitality and consciously steered clear of the mass retail or sub-prestige horeca channels. Purelosophy is a 100% natural wellness beverage line with functional benefits scientifically proven in human studies. The products use only food qualified ingredients. The recipe is based on active botanical extracts, Alpine water and fruit juices, and contains no preservatives or added sugar. Its delicate taste conveys respective functionality with a sophisticated sensory bouquet. Purelosophy uses convenient, eco-friendly packaging in response to the surging “green” trend in prestige hospitality. The product range is profitable for a hotel P&L and appreciated by guests, particularly in the room channel, where purelosophy is a consistent top soft drink seller in value terms in very different markets.

anti-burnout programme. Low glycemic index and load makes it suitable for sugar- and carb-watching clientele. DETOX is a result of marrying two concepts of physical invigoration. One is of body cleansing with extracts of artichoke, fennel, nettle, aloe vera and dandelion. Another is of high natural antioxidant content thanks to a clinically tested whole grape extract proven to relieve oxidative stress. DETOX showed to work well to help elevate jet lag and it is widely used in private jet aviation. Delicate exotic taste rounds off the sensory experience. POWER is a healthy and refreshing alternative to sugarand caffeine-loaded energy drinks. POWER contains a clinically tested green coffee extract, proven to reduce glucose absorption and is relevant as an antidote for “empty” carbs snacking when travelling. Lower levels of caffeine, compensated by the ginseng content, and no chemical stimulants, typical of energy drinks, ensure gentle cognitive boost without stressful caffeine slump. Purelosophy is available predominantly in prestige hospitality and top spas in Europe, Middle East, Asia and from 2011 in the USA. Among successful customers of Purelosophy today are The Dolder Grand Zurich, Fairmont Montreux Palace, Kempinski St Moritz, Hotel Du Cap Eden Roc Cap Antibes, LVMH Cheval Blanc Courchevel, Le Byblos St Tropez, Park Hyatt Milan, Ritz-Carlton Moscow, Emirates Palace Abu Dhabi, Six Senses, Rocco Forte Collection to name just a few.

RELAX is the cornerstone idea of Purelosophy due to ever-increasing stress levels caused by hectic urban and travel-packed lifestyles. It has clinically proven benefits to deal with sleep problems, anxiety and tension. RELAX shows no diurnal drowsiness as a side effect, making it suitable at daytime. It works well in the rooms as a For inquires in the UK or outside, please contact directly calmant or as a healthy night cap on turndown service.

RESTAURANT DEALS REMAIN BUOYANT

Rewind three years and the words ‘group deals’, ‘takeovers’, ‘buyouts’ and ‘unconditional offers’ were seemingly omnipresent across the UK’s restaurant sector, says Simon Chaplin, head of restaurants at Christie + Co. Now, as a result of the economic downturn, challenging trading conditions and a lack of available debt, these phrases are rarely used. But the market is still buoyant.

hilst 2010 will not go down in the record books as the most dynamic year for the restaurant property market, activity levels during the second half were at least encouraging and even had commentators harking back to the frenzied levels of activity seen before the global downturn. Many will argue that it is still a buyer’s market. That may be so, but the prices achieved and numbers of bids received on some sites we have been marketing suggests that it is not so easy for the purchaser to dictate the terms. This is certainly the case for sites in prime city centre locations. We recently completed deals in places such as York, Glasgow, Suffolk and the Home Counties, where six-figure premiums were achieved. So, after a period of caution and relative inactivity, there are finally signs that the market is picking up. Demand for well-located restaurant

l UK HOSPITALITY BLACK BOOK 2011

units, particularly in the casual dining sector, remains strong and investors are becoming increasingly keen to gain a foothold in this market. Indeed, a rise in deal activity driven by the casual dining sector, led to an increase in average restaurant property prices across the UK in 2010. Christie + Co’s annual Business Outlook report, which uses average price information derived from restaurant transactions brokered by the company, showed that restaurant property prices for 2010 increased by 4.6 per cent compared to a decline of 18.1 per cent in the previous year. High street, casual dining brands have been the key players in stabilising and then driving trading performance into positive like-for-like sales territory over the last year. These brands have also been the centre of the majority of the deal activity currently taking place in the sector. During the first six months of 2010, we witnessed a flurry of activity surrounding the La Tasca chain, which soon faded as possible suitors failed to meet the price expectations of the vendor. However during the final six months, Clapham House Group, Carluccio’s, Feng Sushi, Ego, the Caffè Uno brand and the Ha Ha Bar & Grill business all changed hands. In August, casual dining chain Prezzo bought 11 leasehold sites from Paramount Restaurants, for a total of £3.1m, as well as the Caffè Uno trademark.

‘Demand for well-located restaurant units, particularly in the casual dining sector, remains strong and investors are becoming increasingly keen to gain a foothold in this market.’ This was followed in September by Clapham House Group, the operator of Gourmet Burger Kitchen, being acquired by Capricorn Ventures, the private equity backer of Nando’s, for a

sum in the region of £30m. At the same time, Carluccio’s, the Italian restaurant and deli chain, was purchased by its franchise partner in the Middle East, Landmark Investments, in a deal worth around £90m. In the same month, Luke Johnson, the restaurant investor, acquired a majority stake in Ego Restaurants, the 10-strong Mediterranean casual dining concept, and, in a separate deal, Feng Sushi – the six-strong London-based sushi business. Mitchells & Butlers, the UK’s largest managed pub and casual dining group, also announced its acquisition of the 23-strong Ha Ha Bar & Grill chain from Bay Restaurant Group for £19.5m. Established operators, such as Tragus, the operator of the Café Rouge and Strada brands; Gondola Holdings, the operators of Ask and Pizza Express; Giraffe; and Tasty, also moved decisively during the period to expand their estates. For example, in April Paramount Restaurants instructed Christie + Co to market about 30 non-core assets from its estate including outlets under the Brasserie Gerard, Caffè Uno, Il Bertorelli, Bertorelli and Livebait brands. The majority of these units were successfully sold to leading operators in the eating-out market, including Prezzo, Gondola, Tasty, Tragus and Giraffe. Whilst these well-known brands are always keen to acquire key sites to expand their operations, smaller multiple operators and individual site buyers are also on the look out for opportunities. Relative newcomers such as Cote, Jamie’s Italian, Tortilla and Loungers continue to grow their footprints in the sector and will seek further sites over the coming months. Operators of international brands also opened their first sites in the UK during the year, including Ruby Tuesday and Chipotle. How long this current upsurge in deal activity will continue will depend on how the sector reacts to a number

BLACK BOOK

HOSPITALITY 2011

of challenges it will soon encounter. The growth in the eat-at-home trend remains a threat to the dining-out market while in the next six to 12 months, the sector faces the fallout of public spending cuts and the rise in VAT to 20 per cent. Vouchers have become ingrained in the mind of the consumer, and that’s

a problem that operators who have undertaken deep discounting have to resolve over the coming year. There will also need to be a rebasing of prices and customers need to be weaned off vouchers. This is a slow process but The Restaurant Group has proved that you can trade positively without reverting to vouchers and promotions.

Despite the challenges facing the market, it continues to grow, with people seeking new eating-out experiences, while new operators increasingly enter the market. The fact that group deals are also taking place is also a good indicator of positive long-term sentiment in the sector. UK HOSPITALITY BLACK BOOK 2011 l

THE DIRECTORY OF FOOD AND DRINK FROM THE PEOPLE OF WALES

The spirit of the people of Wales Put simply – we’re not a superﬁcial bunch who are swayed by the latest fads and fashions. We’ve got more depth, more character and more individuality. We don’t have any airs or graces, we’re unpretentious and straight to the point. We believe in what we do and wear our hearts on our sleeves. And at the end of the day, as our name suggests, it’s less about the packaging and fancy promotions and more about the taste. The spirit of the land of Wales Wales is not a land of remote, wild and untamed wildernesses. Its charm is very human and accessible. The passion and warmth of the people who produce, sell and champion the food and drink culture in Wales are essential qualities we want to communicate. Our food and drink are not simply products of land or sea, or of faceless factories where there is more interest in the bottom line than in taste. They are crafted and cared for by people with a passion for food. The cultural spirit of Wales We’ve always liked to challenge conventional thinking and True Taste is no exception. We want people to think again when they think about Welsh food and drink. We want to help people discover all the wonderful stories, people and products that are there for the taking. We want to surprise, refresh and force a bit of reappraisal about the whole lamb, leeks and laver bread myth. For us food and drink is one big adventure; it’s fun, exciting and eye-opening.

THE CHANGING RESTAURANT SCENE

Richard Harden has co-edited the Harden’s Restaurant Guides for 20 years. Here, he gives a personal overview of the developments in the restaurant scene in the last two decades.

ere are three concepts we’re all pretty familiar with nowadays: London as a great restaurant hub; gastropubs; and celebrity chefs. They seem so obvious – almost necessary – that it’s easy to assume that they have always been there. The truth could not be more different. You don’t have to go back very far in history to find a UK restaurant scene totally different to the one we know today, to the extent that the cliché about the past being “another country” would be entirely appropriate. In fact, you only need go back to the mid-1990s. When we published our first guide to London’s restaurants, in 1992, the dining-out situation had improved only slowly and tentatively since the publication of the first Good Food Guide – in still very much postwar Britain – 40 years before. British cooking was still the butt of many an international joke. The idea of the gastropub was only just emerging. And celebrity (restaurant) chefs were still unheard of. So what was the route by which we – in London, in particular – have so quickly got from zero to somethingapproaching hero? As it turns out, the stages of 88

development of the sector are signposted rather nicely by the annual rate of new openings we have recorded each year since 1992 in our London guides. These tend to confirm that everything trundled along in a pretty unexciting way until the mid-1990s, when the number of openings suddenly put on a great spurt, by something over 50 per cent (ending up around 90 a year). It was only at that point that the restaurant world, as people entering the industry today might recognise it, began to come into being. (Let’s just complete the story as told by the rate of openings. It remained at a broadly stable level for the latter half of the 1990s, then jumped again, by almost another 50 per cent around the turn of the millennium. And there the rate has stayed, broadly speaking – somewhere around the 130 mark annually – ever since.) Let’s begin by looking at the most obvious sea change of the past decade

and a half: British restaurants are no longer an international joke. Indeed, they are often spoken of in the same breath as those of New York and Paris. I do sometimes wonder if the UK’s PR isn’t running a bit ahead of the reality, but there is absolutely no doubt that we nowadays have many very respectable restaurants, and a thriving ‘scene’, despite the economic difficulties, in London and, more patchily, across the rest of the UK too. Perhaps the most compelling evidence of Britain’s growing reputation is the fact that London-based entrepreneurs – such as Alan Yau, Gordon Ramsay, Richard Caring and Nick Jones, and Marlon Abela – are now exporting ‘our’ concepts across the world. Even fifteen years ago, that would not just have seemed unlikely – it would have seemed totally, 100 per cent unthinkable. Admittedly, the very idea of restaurant concepts shifting around

BLACK BOOK HOSPITALITY 2011

the globe at all is (much more than most people realize) an incredibly new phenomenon. It didn’t really begin until Nobu. When that US operator opened its overseas offshoots first in Milan and shortly afterwards in London (1997), it demonstrated – arguably for the first time since WWII – that quality restaurant concepts could be transplanted internationally. Nobu itself was, however, a revelation to Londoners: it showed that you could have a restaurant that was both trendy and good: until Nobu, this had inevitably seemed an either/or proposition. It also demonstrated that pulling off this double whammy could be a very lucrative proposition for its backers. Once London had been shown the Nobu concept, and given confidence by it, it didn’t take long for entrepreneurs based here to evolve a whole range of concepts which have proved good enough even to travel the world.

One successful idea we’ve exported, however, is not the brainchild of any particular restaurateur, but a pure concept. One of the hottest ‘restaurant’ successes of recent years in New York, for example, has been the Spotted Pig. Opened in 2004, this small Greenwich Village corner site (where the original chef, April Bloomfield, is a Brummie) is an example of the strength of a wholly British concept that looks as if it may yet spread throughout the Englishspeaking world. Ah yes, the gastropub! Such a familiar concept in the UK nowadays that it’s easy to assume that it must have been about for ever. Once again, however, it’s only in the mid-1990s that it really took flight. The Eagle in Farringdon, often credited as the seminal gastropub, may have opened at the beginning of that decade, but the term (and the concept) was really only beginning to find any sort of general recognition towards the end of it. It has continued

to develop. So far as the non-metropolitan UK market is concerned, I am quite convinced that the gastropub is the future, too. Indeed, you could already say that most out-of-town non-ethnic restaurants, other than those in country house hotels, tend, to some extent, to be gastropubs nowadays. This is a trend that isn’t going away any time soon. And why should it? Since the Georgian/ Victorian ‘public house’, the gastropub is arguably the first great concept that the British have given to the diners and drinkers of the world. Let’s pause here to note that the old idea that trends generally start in London, establish themselves there, and then spread out across the country does seem generally to hold good in the development of UK hospitality. Gastropubs are a pretty good example. But it takes a while. It’s only in the last few years, for example, that the team from the celebrated UK HOSPITALITY BLACK BOOK 2011

Northcote restaurant in the North West have made a huge success of their gastropub offshoots, Ribble Valley Inns (gastropubs arrived in the North West, it seems, shortly after they appeared in New York). Another example of a sudden blossoming in London being followed elsewhere a few years later? Birmingham! A city, whose only possible claim to fame until recently was a few Balti houses, now boasts a very respectable range of bourgeois restaurants. No more than you’d expect to find in continental cities of comparable size, admittedly, but the sudden progress is astonishing. Or perhaps not, if one had noted what was happening in London five years before. Which brings us to celebrity chefs. Curiously, though the celebs are seen in many people’s minds as a – perhaps the – defining features of the UK culinary scene in the past 15 years, I think they may be something of a declining force. But first let’s recap. Back in 1995, the River Café which, like Bibendum, was a late-1990s fore-runner to the changes

l UK HOSPITALITY BLACK BOOK 2011

that only really took off almost a decade later, published the cookbook which might be said to have been the starting pistol for the new era. The association of a cookery book with a celebrated restaurant was a novelty. It was, if you like, the starting point for the frenzy of association between restaurant cooking and media celebrity which has seemed to intensify ever since. Two names – I’ll come to the third later – stand out. Marco Pierre White and then Gordon Ramsay became the definitive restaurant chefs of the period. Never before had top restaurant chefs become such a source of public interest. The emergence of White and Ramsay now – and others – popularised restaurants in a way which had possibly never been done before. Now is the time to ask, though, whether celebrity chefs, far from being a cause of the transition, weren’t more a symptom of a market moving from terrible immaturity to early middle age at breakneck speed. Indeed, the celebrity chef phenomenon – vastly overblown as it has been – now looks as if it may be blowing itself out. We may be about

to revert to the more normal state, historically speaking, where the world of TV cheffing – think the Galloping Gourmet, Fanny Cradock and Delia Smith – and restaurant cheffing are pretty much distinct. But, cry voices off, what about Jamie? He’s still going strong! Jamie though, is really a very special case. People so often forget that he first took charge of a restaurant kitchen well after he had become prominent as a TV chef. He’s building his restaurant empire on the back of his TV fame (rather than vice-versa). In this respect, he is, so far, pretty much a one-off, so it’s difficult to draw wider lessons from his success. And as to the future of the UK’s restaurants? Well, even though the economic crystal ball is unusually cloudy at present, it does very much seem that the London revolution isn’t over yet, and it certainly doesn’t look as if its effects have ceased to ripple out across the rest of the UK. And there is at least one nearcertainty: the near future looks set to be at least as interesting as the recent past.

RESTAURANTS FOLLOW LIFE-STYLE TRENDS

Restaurant design trends vary greatly depending on a number of factors. Fergus Stapleton, managing director of Ferro Design, explains some of the key factors in restaurant design today.

ut simply, staying abreast of restaurant trends means staying abreast of retail trends, consumer behaviour, current economics and the competition within the marketplace. For example, what is the target market? Older generations may desire a quiet, calm environment whilst pre-teens and teens want interaction and innovation. Like clothing, some trends come in cycles: the use of chalk board menus, a market-style display of food, open kitchens, clean clinical lines versus busy interiors. Restaurant trends are also affected by the economic climate. In times of hardship a more traditional and safe style will come to the forefront as customers become more discerning and demanding. The way to entice customers is by offering intimacy, friendship, authenticity, comfort and safety. In boom times there will be greater innovation, flamboyance and risktaking. Coming out of recession often leads to a gentle introduction of more vibrant but not brash colours which will tend towards the brighter end of the spectrum with their associated optimism.

Pizza Express, where design encourages conversation Pizza Express has opened its first ‘new generation’ pizzeria which focuses on design, acoustics, service and food, with the aim of creating a space that feeds great conversation – something that is at the heart of the brand’s mission – by both stimulating conversation and managing sound within the restaurant. Masterminding the new look and feel is award-winning designer Ab Rogers working with leading acoustician Sergio Luzzi. A number of world-first features have been designed to help direct busy restaurant noise away from dining areas, enabling customers to both tuck in and open up. These include world-first, revolutionary parabolic lighting domes to absorb sound with in-built speakers for customers’ own iPods; lights that can be dimmed by diners and a ‘light-up’ button to ask for the bill. These unique domes hang alongside an acoustic ceiling installation that has been scientifically designed to direct ambient noise. Theatre director and conversation expert Karl James is working closely with Pizza Express to reinvent how staff interact with customers, training them in the art of conversation and making customers feel good. The new restaurant, which will function as a ‘Living Lab’ has opened in Richmond. After feedback from customers, a new signature style will be rolled out across Pizza Express restaurants nationwide in 2011. Style What are the current style trends? Hearty fare was at the forefront in 2010 with nostalgic, hearty and British food being increasingly popular. This links with customer desire for local, seasonal and ethically sourced produce. Entertainment-focused dining is also seeing a resurgence with Proud Cabaret which opened in the City in late 2009 (see page 95) and Circus in Covent

Garden in January 2010 (see page 96). On the high street there is strong growth and new start-ups in the strongly themed and niche, snack/treat market. A number of these are small independents (for example the newly opened DriDri Gelato in Portobello Road, Yogurtry in Hampstead and Kaffeine in Portobello Road.) These market heavily on factors such as health, quality, artisan produce and

Costa caters for the city customer Costa has embarked on a new strategy to boost its presence in metropolitan areas by launching a new-look store that focuses on fulfilling the specific needs of city customers. ‘Metropolitan’ stores, used predominately by takeaway customers now focus on speed of service and incorporate express till areas for customers in a hurry. City stores frequented by shoppers or those wanting business meetings offer a more relaxed atmosphere with zoned seating areas. Some stores with mixed use are a hybrid of the two designs, like the first Metropolitan store on Great Portland Street, London (pictured) which makes a clear departure from Costa’s current interior design, offering both relaxed seating and meeting areas as well as quick express areas to meet the different customer occasions. ethical values. Others have rolled out as chains like Mi-shake (a franchise operation) which opened its first store in 2005 specialising in salads and freshly made sandwiches and now has six stores in and around London. A number of restaurants are adding shops and takeaways to their offer, or perhaps it’s the other way round, with stores and delis evolving into restaurants. The current success of Bill’s Produce Store is a good example, though this may be a cyclical trend as the idea is not new: Bluebird in Chelsea has been successful for many years. Pop-Up restaurants (temporary installations) such as the Innocent 5for5 café at the Tramshed (now closed) and the Sketch pop-up café at the Royal Academy are good examples.

Design Design trends vary according to the target market and food style. However, every space will have a unique set of criteria which acts as the foundation of the design. High End restaurants are currently moving towards a look of traditional classicism, with the use of classic furniture styles and colours. Themed restaurants are moving evermore into the sphere of entertainment and thus try to create an extreme or surreal interior that adds to the theatre of the occasion. Strong brands are doing well and continually look to reinforce brand loyalty with consistent and recognisable interior design which, in turn, reinforces the reliability of the product. There is a move towards a back-tobasics feel in retail cafes/restaurants;

the use of natural materials, eclectic furniture, re-use of items, with not too much design. An example of this can be seen in Costa’s recent launch of Costa Metro (see above) with its recycled wood floor, old and mixed style furniture and exposed ceilings. This rustic style is further developed in the currently popular market style approach with an abundance of produce and an overall rustic feel. This approach is likely to continue with the general ambience being pure, honest and vital. At a more detailed level, this translates into a colour palette that is either brighter or lighter, with clarity and freshness or warm and comforting, using colours from nature but avoiding anything too intense or oppressive. As an example, is Dulux’s colour of the year for 2011 which is clean, natural and fresh. UK HOSPITALITY BLACK BOOK 2011

Tossed - healthy eating at healthy prices Tossed - a new group of eight fast casual healthier eating places – aims to satisfy the growing healthy foods market, specialising in freshly tossedto-order salads and wraps, as well as fully rounded healthy eating offers including hand-made soups, stews, breakfast baps, smoothies. Founder Vincent Mckevitt, a business studies graduate, identified a niche in the market for healthier food ‘on-the-go’, seeing life beyond lettuce, cucumber, tomato and grated carrots. After research in America, he opened the first outlet in 2005 aimed at people who ‘may not want to eat salad every day but want to eat healthily every day’. Today Tossed’s Big Protein Wrap contains a 26.1g of protein, whilst the Chicken Salad Wrap is claimed to be guilt-free at just 333 calories. All salads can be wrapped, with the equivalent of a medium salad wrapped inside a fresh flour tortilla; smoothies provide 100 per cent of the daily fruit intake. Calories and nutritional content are counted, salt is not added, ‘good’ low GI carbs are used and mayo is ditched for fat-free yogurt to bind ingredients. Almost all packaging is environmentally friendly while hot drinks, sugar and most snacks carry the FairTrade mark. Food sourcing is carefully controlled. All the meat in the soups and stews is free range, chicken is farm assured and all eggs are free range. Left-over sandwiches are donated to charity daily where possible. The company’s philosophy is that healthy food should be available to everyone, hence its keen price point, with main course meals starting at £2.95 (Asian Tuna Salad, medium). In early 2010 the company secured £1.5m funding from international venture capitalist company Beringea, which will allow the brand to expand to a projected 20 venues in the next three years; it is now turning over in excess of £3m per year, and currently employs 100 people. 94

Wallpaper is popular again with large floral prints evident in wall coverings and furnishing fabrics. At the other end we are seeing in some environments extreme geometry (sharp lines and acute angles) in furniture and service counters. This is often in response to some of the extreme geometry occurring in architectural styles with examples being the Jubilee Campus Building at the University of Nottingham and the proposed new extension to Tate Modern. The use of tone and texture is replacing the use of intense colours. Throughout catering environments there is a continued trend for mixed seating. Restaurants, and in particular cafes in both the retail and business and industry markets, may typically offer a range of lounge, perch, formal, café and bench seating. Environmentally sound materials and practices are popular – for example palm products, recycled glass, rubber flooring and low energy lighting. In both

Unfortunately there is not currently an independent body which compares likewith-like and gives equipment ratings. However the CSFG (Catering for a Sustainable Future Group) is working towards this. Examples of areas where energy savings can be made are; Refrigeration – use of one large unit instead of two smaller units, use of cabinets with drawers instead of uprights, installation of Glycol secondary refrigeration systems.

Proud cabaret brings entertainment to food Entertainment-focused dining is undergoing a resurgence – nowhere more successfully than Proud Cabaret, a cabaret and burlesque hot spot behind Fenchurch Street Station in the City of London. Refurbished in 2009 and recreating the feel of a genuine 1920s theatre, the venue’s decadent décor and attractive food offer has established itself as a major city restaurant. The refurbishment allowed the venue to introduce an elevated VIP platform together with a large kitchen extension which can now cater for up to 250 diners. The three-course menu changes twice a year and small bites are available from the bar menu. Intelligent, demand-controlled ventilation hoods that adapt to the needs of the environment automatically.

institutions using their catering facilities to boost morale and provide a social interaction space or respite from the workplace? And how are they managing to also meet their financial requirements? The current trend is to aim for nil subsidy and in order to achieve this there is a need to design from the customer’s perspective with an eye on ease of operation, whilst maintaining quality. There is a reduction in the use of satellite areas (unless they operate in isolation) since they isolate catering staff for what can be a low-use offer. The design needs to reduce staff movement and increase visibility for customers and staff. At the same time, the number of offers needs to be focused and the layout of the servery, must be efficient and easy

to navigate. There is an increased need for flexible use of dining spaces e.g. as a social space, for presentations or informal meetings. In order to encourage patronage on a regular basis the design of the interior environment must be different from the office or working environment, and be refreshing and interesting. This is in part achieved by having a range of styles within – for example bench-seating for groups, small tables for individuals and lounge seats for more relaxed dining. There is also a trend towards locating the catering facility close to or within the reception space rather than in the basement or hidden away somewhere.

SCIENCE TAKES A HAND IN NEW FOOD TRENDS

Food writer Michael Raffael, says today’s chefs need to understand the principles of molecular gastronomy, but that should help, not stop, both the kitchen and the guest conspiring to enjoy themselves and each other.

o Ferran Adrià is shutting down his hacienda in Roses at the end of 2011. Is it the pressure of originating a new menu once a year? Partly. Has he tired of the adulation? Star status isn’t what drives him. The money then? El Bulli loses about €500,000? His other business interests more than compensate. Perhaps he realised that he wasn’t running a restaurant. He was dishing up a very exclusive kind of interactive theatre that stimulated taste buds rather than brain cells. Señor Adrià doesn’t approve of the term ‘molecular gastronomy’. That hasn’t prevented him being identified with it. It implies that cooking has to start with a microscope, the inference being that until recently chefs cooked by the seat of their pants. In fact, an Oxford biologist, the late Nicholas Kurti and a food journalist Hervé This coined it. The latter, now working for the French government’s Institut National de la Recherche Agronomique (INRA) and collaborating with the chef, Pierre Gagnaire, has given it some credibility across the Channel. On this side, its impact has been random, something chefs dip into when it suits them. Only a handful of 98

l UK HOSPITALITY BLACK BOOK 2011

‘stars’ like Heston Blumenthal or John Campbell have scratched the food science surface. The influences of Adrià together with the scientific know-how acquired over the last decade have filtered through into the mainstream, even when chefs themselves may not recognize it. Co-author of Advanced Practical Cookery with Victor Ceserani and David Foskett, John Campbell is well-placed to bridge the gap between the main strands of professional cookery: classical, modern and cutting edge. The executive chef of Coworth Park, Ascot believes that a scientific grounding is now essential: “Understanding the principles of molecular gastronomy are prerequisites for anyone wanting to work in my kitchen. Methods and techniques follow from them.” Anne-Sophie Pic at Valence, the only female chef in France running a three star Michelin restaurant, provides a coda: “Cuisine,” she says “is becoming more like pâtisserie.” At the highest level, dishes have to be more consistent than they once were. The image of a master chef adding a personal touch to a dish at the last moment has a romantic appeal. It bears no relationship to a Michelin three star kitchen where

90 per cent of the work is mise-en-place, where ingredients are measured, times and temperatures strictly controlled. Precision not flare determines performance. Looking for a parallel between the role of ‘molecular gastronomy’ in modern professional cookery, there is no need to look beyond the Nouvelle Cuisine experiment. Its excesses, tiny portions lost on discworld plates, silly flavour combinations and pretentious, self-important chefs hastened its public rejection. However, it left behind a valuable legacy. France, held responsible for the worst excesses, lost its status as the unchallenged culinary superstate. Escoffier’s Guide Culinaire was no longer the Koran. The kitchen inventory broadened to include produce from around the world. New techniques, equipment and shared information reformed a stagnant food culture. Adrià’s and Blumenthal’s creativity and scientific nous are central to the way cooking is evolving. This is the context of what goes on behind the scenes. So far as customers are concerned, the ‘Wow!’ factor matters. Why should they order a prawn cocktail when they can buy it any day of the week in a Prêt à Manger sandwich? Even

conservative eaters-out enjoy surprises. Mark Hix was executive chef at the Ivy for ten year before launching his own Oyster and Chop House in London. “I suppose” he says “I was trying to create a Berni or a Beefeater, but with better ingredients, service and environment.” Reviving steakhouses may seem like reinventing the wheel. The change, he says, is in the approach to his raw materials: “When I got my first head chef’s job, I wasn’t too bothered about them. Now all chefs have to be.” His menus are dotted with seasonal wild foods from ‘scarlet elf cap’ fungi to ‘sea purslane’. The focus on rare regional produce has gone beyond cult status in Copenhagen where René Redzepi, of Noma, is championing New Nordic Cuisine. With a population of about half a million the city can claim 13 Michelin-starred restaurants, all of which to a greater or lesser extent have adopted elements of this Scandinavian style. Claus Meyer, chef, restaurateur, entrepreneur and TV star is the force behind the movement. Until he set out a manifesto and persuaded his peers to move away from ‘international’ cuisine, Denmark copied the rest of Europe. Now, he says, the city takes its food, and

not just the herring and smørrebrød, seriously: “We didn’t want this to be restricted to bio-dynamic farmers and Michelin wannabes. We wanted to bring this into everyday lives and aspirations.” René Redzepi graduated from both El Bulli and the French Laundry. He’s a natural addition to the top table of chefs with global reputations. More surprising is the speed with which a style of cooking has taken root. Fish restaurants, snack bars, delis and veggie restaurants in the city have all become more ‘Nordic’. The impact reflects a homogenous society with a lifestyle adapted to a spare northerly inspired diet. Changes in the UK reflect a more diverse nation, whose aspirations and tastes veer from the excesses of the North American Midwest to a Jamie Oliver-inspired vision of Mediterranean culture. The generation of Roux Babies and protégés of Nico Ladenis, Raymond Blanc or Anton Mosimann, heading for middle age, now own their own businesses. Michael Caines and Gordon Ramsay both stayed the course at Joël Robuchon’s Jamin, before building their own empires.

there ever were before. John Campbell describes it as “One of the most exciting times for British gastronomy.” He does though, add a warning note. Those who work for him receive an education. Those who work their way round the industry stamping their CVs with famous names may be doing little more than collecting their temporary bosses’ recipes: “If they do nothing but copy, they’ll fail.” Mark Hix points out that the calibre of those coming into the industry is low: “There may be more competent chefs and sous chefs around now than there used to be but when I’m looking to fill a post I find that only one in twenty is employable.” Alain Ducasse, on the basis of star count (three triple Michelins to his name) is arguably the fairy on top of the gastronomic tree. His formula works because it’s essentially simple. He retains key staff. Executive chefs at the Plaza Athénée and the Dorchester have 30 years joint experience working for him. According to him “60 per cent of a restaurant’s success is down to the quality of the raw materials, 35 per cent is technique and the remainder is talent.” It’s a view that both Hix and Campbell endorse. It’s no longer enough for a posh-nosh eatery to specify foie gras and truffles. Not all truffles are the same. Summer truffles are passed off as Perigord truffles on menus (and not all of these are equally fresh). Foie gras can come from intensively reared duck factories that make a battery chicken farm seem like a health resort. Intelligent sourcing is the single most effective way of setting standards. French cuisine may have gone down a few blind alleys, but its range of produce, along with that of its Latin neighbours remains, at its best (and with a few exceptions such as beef and seafood), if not ahead, then generally more widespread than what’s available in the British Isles. That gap may be narrowing. Jody

Cooking and service aren’t about pain, tears and the f-word. Eating isn’t about blind adulation and solemnity. Both the kitchen and the guest should conspire to enjoy themselves and each other. He opens his restaurant four days a week so he’s not overstretched. He closes seven weeks a year. It’s not a formula for earning untold riches, but he cooks like a dream, makes a profit….and there are hundreds of chefs, waiters, sommeliers and managers who would like to be in his shoes.

Purchasing

The hospitality industry spends over £10bn every year on food purchasing, serving over 8bn meals. This is purchasing on a grand scale – yet many operators pay insufficient attention to how best they should purchase food and other commodities. David Goymour talks to some purchasing directors.

n a world increasingly obsessed with globalisation, buyers, especially food buyers, have a huge choice. Consumers expect, at not too much extra on the bill, please, all the fruits and vegetables the world can produce, fish and seafood from all its oceans. Strawberries at Christmas? Why not? Our expectations have changed dramatically in 50 years. Foods which were once regarded as ‘exotic’ are now flown in from around the world. The

trouble is, when we make the whole world our breadbasket, rather than the home region, we take on the world’s problems, too. Between 2003 and 2010 Australia, an important supplier of wheat and rice to the world’s markets, saw its worst drought on record (followed, ironically, by flooding in Queensland and the Brisbane hinterland). In 2008 drought in some countries and floods in others combined to push up the price of wheat, one of the world’s key staple commodities. Combined with higher energy costs this produced a spike in world food costs previously stable since 1990. Drought in Russia has contributed to a similar escalation in 2010/11. In the developed West we feel the pain at the grocery checkout, where price increases are rather more obvious than they are on the restaurant bill. But hospitality businesses are being squeezed by higher commodity prices and they can’t always pass the cost on

straight away to the customer. I n fact, the industry is a huge purchaser of food – according to Peter Backman of Horizon, caterers buy over £10bn worth of food every year, serving over 8bn meals with food sales throughout the industry amounting to over £31bn. Even a one per cent increase in food purchases adds over £100m to the industry’s food bill. So purchasing has inevitably become more specialised and more sophisticated. Steve Jobson, buying director for Sodexo, which operates contract food service on about 2,000 sites in the UK, says that at present, the company’s focus is on containing inflation. “We have tariffs which have been agreed and have to be honoured; any increases go straight to our bottom line.” The key drivers behind food inflation, he says, are commodities and exchange rates, particularly the rate for the pound against the dollar and the euro. These issues are addressed in different ways by the three tiers of UK HOSPITALITY BLACK BOOK 2011

purchasing teams in Sodexo. First is the Global team, which deals with international brands such as Coca-Cola. “Branded suppliers have passed on their production costs. With snacks, soft drinks and confectionery, we are seeing some big spikes in pricing, and they are brands you can’t afford not to have in your business.” Next comes the European team, which sources commodities such as rice and tuna, cereals and oils. “Commodities like wheat and oil are important because they feed into so many of the products served in hospitality businesses. Wheat is in flour, pasta, bread and other baked goods. It also goes into animal feeds, and poultry prices have gone up 30 per cent in the past four or five months. “The winter weather has impacted on the lambing season, and prices have gone up. We’ve had to be creative with menus, to try to avoid inflated items. But in the case of a business and industry contract, if our next opportunity to adjust pricing is in November, we can’t make changes before that.” The Local team is UK-specific and buys produce which will carry the Red Tractor marque or Marine Stewardship Council accreditation. “Pub groups are giving more information now about the provenance of the food they serve, and consumers are interested in this. I’ve been driving through marques: all the British meat we serve is Red Tractor assured and we have MSC accreditation for our fish. We’re proud of the quality standards we put on our food,” he says. These marques are used on Sodexo menus. The company is the first in the food service management sector to be allowed to do this by the MSC. “You’d like to think that the purchasing leverage gives us an advantage,” Jobson adds. “Suppliers like to deal with companies which are financially stable, and there’s more of a

l UK HOSPITALITY BLACK BOOK 2011

risk with smaller operators. “We offer a shop window for branded goods, but the end-user wouldn’t necessarily know where commodity products are coming from.” (Operators would recognise ingredients and prepared foods sourced from 3663, Brakes and the rest, but the consumer will be oblivious of this.) Whitbread operates 2,000-plus outlets in the UK, including Premier Inn, Beefeater and Costa Coffee. Simon Galkoff, head of food buying, agrees that the Russian droughts and recent flooding in Australia have had an impact on commodities such as wheat and corn. But he adds that Whitbread has been ‘largely unaffected’ because of its cycle of contracts. The scale of Whitbread’s purchasing gives it an edge, and it’s in the group’s interest to deal directly with suppliers, not only to negotiate the best price, he says. “All our buyers are experts in their product areas and where possible we deal directly with our suppliers. Occasionally this is not possible, for example where product can only be purchased abroad by agents who have licences for quota purposes. However, a Whitbread buyer or product technologist will always visit the producer and/or processor to ensure that they meet our sourcing standards

in terms of welfare, ingredients, production and traceability.” Beacon Purchasing, owned by Interchange and Consort Hotels, does annual purchasing worth £120m for its members, mostly independent hotels and small groups with up to 20 units. Food and beverage purchasing accounts for about three-quarters of that. “We’ve demonstrated to large groups that we can add value to what they do, too,” says chief executive Chris Durant. Members pay Beacon a subscription of £495 per property per year and Beacon also receives a rebate from suppliers. The percentage varies according to product category. This system of rebates is “open and known about”, says Durant. “Customers will decide whether our solution is a better deal for them. What Beacon earns is secondary to them.” The most obvious benefit for members is that Beacon negotiates prices on the strength of its £120m annual spend. But Durant is keen to see members develop a high level strategy for purchasing. In the first discussions with members, Beacon will identify what they are buying and where. “Eighty per cent of the spend will be with 20 per cent of the suppliers, so are savings possible? The next step is to consolidate suppliers within categories.”

BLACK BOOK HOSPITALITY 2011

Durant’s killer option, however, is to implement this strategy online. Beacon launched a web-based procurement system in 2010, and members may now upload all their agreements with suppliers into this system. All that’s required then is the discipline to use the online exclusively for all purchasing. Durant describes online purchasing as the tip of an iceberg: “You can see all the products, all the prices, and order what you need.’ Below the waterline, however, are more benefits: ‘All the information generated, that tells the business what they’ve bought from each supplier, queries any disparities and feeds into the MIS and finance systems.” Since last year’s launch, 14 properties have signed up, and Durant reports they can save between one-1.5 per cent on margins as a result of the discipline the system imposes on buyers and sellers. Redefine Hotels is a Holiday Inn franchisee, operating in the UK two full service Holiday Inns and five Holiday Inn Express properties. Steven Foster, area manager for the UK, buys for the hotels through Beacon. The Express hotels, which serve a buffet breakfast to standards specified by the Holiday Inn franchise, source

the products used from Brakes, on a Beacon price list. “Beacon can negotiate favourable prices for us,” he says. “It’s like having your own full time purchasing manager out there, constantly finding the best prices they can for you.” But he still has to watch out for seasonal increases, such as a recent hike in potato prices, blamed on flooding in Ireland, and possible increases in prices for lamb, following the hard winter. “Every hotel should be able to write its own menus,” he says. Taking the example of lamb prices, he says his chefs will look at alternatives when they can, though like the contract catering operator, hotels will often be committed to including lamb in their corporate programme of menus for conferences, for example. He confirms the effectiveness of Beacon’s programme to rationalise supplier lists. Buying guest amenities, for example, Redefine Hotels knows exactly what the cost of cleaning and dressing a bedroom will be. “We know where the cost lines should be. If it goes outside those lines we know there may be a problem, perhaps with damage at the laundry or stock losses. We can then investigate and deal with the problem.’ To make procurement more effective

Left to right: Redefine’s Steven Foster: “It’s like having your own full time purchasing manager out there, constantly finding the best prices they can for you.” Simon Galkoff of Whitbread: “Our ‘Good Together’ programme sets out how we source our products by working in partnership with our suppliers and other stakeholders.”

UK HOSPITALITY BLACK BOOK 2011

Purchasing

in the future, buyers will clearly focus on more than simply the numbers on the price list. Strategies have to be developed to buy appropriately and use the produce appropriately. For Whitbread, success in food sourcing is measured by customer satisfaction. “We serve millions of customers every year and they trust in our abilities to provide them with food and drink which has been sourced in a responsible and sustainable way,” says Simon Galkoff. “Our ‘Good Together’ programme sets out how we source our products in this way by working in partnership with our suppliers and other stakeholders. This ensures that sourcing issues are addressed fully and meet the needs of our customers.” Steve Jobson sees a need for collaboration: “If I’m wondering if I’ve really got a good deal on meat, I may bring in an independent consultant to check on what we’re achieving. I’ve been working in procurement for 25 years, and I have no problem about bringing in help! We might want, for example, to refine our specification to match the way we use the products. “In the future, I see a merging between sales and procurement. We need to collaborate, with sales and marketing people and procurement people working in the same team. There’s a danger if you’re working separately, that a sales person may say, we can give you local produce in all categories. When we win the business we may not be able to do that. If procurement is involved at the tendering stage, we can correct that.” The future, clearly, includes online activity. Whitbread uses a diverse range of sourcing tools including tenders, consortium buying and electronic auction. “We find the e-auction a very effective tool in certain categories as it is fast and maximises the savings process,’ says Simon Golkoff.

BOOSTING WINE SALES BOOSTS PROFITS Wine sales are vitally important for most restaurants – but how can you boost sales so that you can maximize revenues? Paul Wootton talks to experts and gives some advice.

s a restaurant operator you ignore your drinks offering at your peril. Depending on the type of venue, wet sales can account for anything between 20-55 per cent of a restaurant’s total income - as well as offering significantly better margins than the food. In extreme cases, drink can account for an even higher percentage of a customer’s total bill. There’s the now legendary tale of the six City bankers who spent £44,007 on fine wine (and a couple of beers) at Ramsay’s Petrus back in 2001. The amount spent on drink was so large - and the GP so rewarding - that the restaurant waived the £400 food bill entirely. Such occasions might be very rare but they serve to demonstrate the impact drink sales can make on a restaurant’s

bottom line. The fact is the majority of restaurants in the UK would struggle to survive without them. It’s why we see so few Bring Your Own drink restaurants here. With rents so high and competition within the industry compelling restaurants to keep their prices low, drinks sales offer a lifeline to struggling operators and a silver lining to successful ones. In order to maximise the benefit your drinks offering brings to your business - and increase the share of your restaurant’s income attributed to profitable drinks sales, here are some key areas on which to focus: RANGE Sometimes less is more Range refers not only to the quantity of wines you offer but also the quality and diversity. Unless you employ a sommelier and are happy to have thousands and thousands of pounds tied up in stock, there’s no point having a wine list that takes a week to read through. The latest research from the US indicates that in the casual dining arena wine sales increase the more extensive the range, but up to a maximum of

Five tips for a wine list LAURA RHYS, Head sommelier at Terravina in the New Forest, was named UK Sommelier of the Year in 2009. If she came to set up her own restaurant, what five key things would she bear in mind when creating her wine list? Here’s her response: 1. Value for money 2. The list needs to be relevant to the restaurant in terms of size, wines on offer. 3. I’d want a broad range – in price, region and grape style as well as some rarities too!

about 150 bins (bottles). Beyond 150, sales fall away again. The Cornell Hospitality Report on Wine List Characteristics also suggests that wine lists which “include more mentions of wine from a specific set of wineries” and those that feature a ‘reserve’ section tend to encourage greater sales. In the UK, the term ‘casual dining’ suggests a huge range of restaurant styles and this 150 bottle rule is unlikely to hold true for fast casual restaurants, where it would be unthinkable to find a list featuring so many different wines. Clearly your range should be appropriate both to your style of restaurant and your style of cuisine. The premium burger bar chain Byron, for example, offers just

four whites and four reds. If consumers want to go out for a burger and chips, the thinking goes, they don’t want to spend half an hour deciding which wine to have with it. In terms of diversity, too, you don’t have to offer all things to all men. If your restaurant majors on Italian food, do you need to ensure a good representation of French or New World wines on your list? By making your wines integral to the rest of the restaurant concept, you increase the authenticity of the dining experience being offered to consumers and further reinforce your food’s credentials. But be aware of changing trends. At the time of writing (September 2010), rosé wine was the big growth story

in the UK. The Wine & Spirit Trade Association’s Quarterly Annual Report revealed on-trade sales of rosé increased by over 20 per cent by value in 2010 - it seems daft then not to make rosé a part of your own offer - and it makes sense not to bury the details of these wines in a hard-to-find place in your list. Should you offer branded wines that consumers are familiar with from the off-trade? Certainly at the more casual end of the restaurant spectrum and for those consumers who lack much wine knowledge, there are strong arguments in favour of including brands in your range. Lee James is commercial director for wines at Pernod Ricard UK, which supplies brands such as Jacob’s Creek

and Campo Viejo. Of course you would expect him to make the case for branded wine in the on-trade but his views are backed by some solid research. “A substantial number of consumers see well-known brands as a quality reassurance in what many see as a confusing category,” he says. “Our research also reveals that consumers are happy to pay more for well-known wine brands in restaurants, pubs and bars in order to minimise the perceived risk of ordering something they don’t like. Unfamiliar wine brands available solely in the on-trade fared badly in the research.” If you’re no wine buff and are worried about putting together a range, suppliers offer huge amounts of advice on this.

PRICING Less can be more - again According to research conducted by Wine Intelligence, only 20 per cent of consumers think wine is good value in restaurants - which may not be surprising given some of the crazy deals they see in supermarkets. While most on-trade consumers are aware they’re paying for more than just the liquid in the bottle - the environment they’re in, the service, staff knowledge and so on they’re increasingly aware that there are times when they are being ripped off. A mark-up of 400 per cent, unless you’re ageing the wine in your own cellars, is difficult to justify. And the point is, in these cash-conscious times, wines with that kind of markup, especially at the upper-end of the quality scale, are unlikely to sell. Savvy operators are increasingly resorting to adding a cash margin rather than a percentage margin to their more expensive wines. At the food-oriented pub group Geronimo Inns, for example, they add a £15 cash margin to their top-end wines - and sell a lot more of them as a result. If your wines are gathering dust on your shelves, rethink your pricing policy. 114

l UK HOSPITALITY BLACK BOOK 2011

HOUSE WINES Think about quality Because these are high volume there’s a temptation for operators to source the cheapest wine possible and make a good margin on it. But ultimately that approach is likely to be counterproductive. Your house wines should set a certain kind of benchmark; you must be happy to have them represent your restaurant. It isn’t easy finding quality wine at entry-level prices so shop around. With the strength of the euro in the past couple of years, many operators have looked outside Europe. Currently Chile, in particular, makes plenty of wine with a good price/quality ratio. And when it comes to style, look for versatility. The best house wines will work as aperitifs but should also pair well with a wide range of foods. SUPPLIERS Get the most out of them Suppliers are an enormous resource for restaurateurs, offering everything from advice on wine lists and trends to helping organise customer-led events such as themed food and wine matching evenings.

WaverleyTBS runs these kind of events quite frequently. They will even involve the wine producers themselves to support food and wine gourmet evenings. “Supplying wine to today’s savvy operators is not just about the sell-in any more,” says Mike MacCulloch, a key account manager for WaverleyTBS. “In fact, it’s about a total package of support.” As an example, he cites his company’s relationship with Tigerlily, the Edinburgh hotel, restaurant and bar run by the Montpelier group. “We have total immersion in everything they do at a site like Tigerlily and get to know all of the staff,” he says. “The benefit for us as suppliers is that the staff become real ambassadors for our wines; the benefit for Montpeliers and Tigerlily is that they sell more wine and make more profit.” WaverleyTBS offers plenty of other support to its customers. The company’s in-house design studio can design and print bespoke wine menus using logos and designs from the operator free of charge and there is a range of POS and merchandise to support wines sales in outlet. A customer “points” incentive

BLACK BOOK

for wines on promotion allows points to be exchanged for a variety of high street vouchers, clothing, equipment or training courses from the Wine and Spirit Education Trust. How many suppliers you use will depend on your type of operation and commitment to your offering. Rupert Clevely, the founder of Geronimo Inns, reckons three or four wine suppliers are right for his business. “I’m not going to get all my wine from Matthew Clark,” he explains. “As much as Matthew Clark is a great business, there’s probably a chain restaurant over the road that gets all their wine from that one supplier. I don’t want to do that. So we look at three or four suppliers and work on the wine list with them. We will go where we can get the best product but there has to be a limit - we don’t want 10 suppliers for our wine, but three maybe four is enough.” TRAINING Instil some passion in your staff If you’re serious about selling wine, your staff must be trained. Pernod Ricard UK’s Lee James says that even

in a pub, where consumers don’t expect staff to be connoisseurs, they do appreciate someone who has enough basic knowledge about a wine to reassure them that they will enjoy and like the taste of whatever they choose. He recommends training staff with a 30-minute wine tasting session to introduce any new wines and update their knowledge on new vintages or changes to the range. To help them remember the basic facts, he suggests giving them stories about the wines or snapshots of information rather than lengthy pages of technical tasting notes. “When it comes to discussing the wines with customers, encourage them to focus on their own experience of tasting the wines, rather than how the wines may have been described to them – it’s more convincing for the customer,” he explains. The most important thing of all is to get your team to try the wines. “Nothing sells wine faster than a passionate recommendation,” he says. His views are echoed by that of Mike MacCulloch at WaverleyTBS. His aim is to get staff confident and “fired up” about wine. To that end, he and his

colleague, wine development manager Alastair Allan, have devised a staff wine club at Tigerlily. The club meets every six weeks for a couple of hours to go through tastings, team activities and training exercises. The initiative is voluntary for any member of staff but they regularly have a dozen or so people who turn up for the sessions. MacCulloch explains: “Everyone tends to come prepared with questions and ideas around things that have happened during service or through experiences. We make it fun and the team get a lot out of it.” DISPLAY AND MARKETING Make it obvious what’s available When developing a wine list, ensure that the descriptions of wine are clear and relevant. Unless you’re a fine dining restaurant, keep the descriptions brief.

Wine

Right: A striking way to boost wine sales – the wine tower at The Radisson Blu Hotel at Stansted, Europe’s first. The Angel’s Wine Tower Bar offers more than 4,000 bottles of wine in a soaring glass wine case. Once ordered, the bar angels fly into the air to retrieve the guest’s wine selection.

Lee James says, “The most engaging wine lists are often the simplest.” Remember that lists are not the only way to encourage sales of your wine. If you operate at the upper end of the scale, consider a drinks trolley from which to sell Champagnes by the glass and other aperitifs. Hugues Lepin, head sommelier at Hélène Darroze at the Connaught in London, is convinced of their benefit. “It’s much easier to sell something from a trolley than from a list,” he says. “When people look at a list they don’t see what they’re getting, they don’t have an impression of the product. When they see the trolley and the bottles they’re thrilled.” 116

Simple food matching is another way to promote your wine offering, and can encourage consumers to try more premium wines. Staff should be able to make recommendations but you might wish to highlight specific pairings on your food menu and on your specials board. SPIRITS AND COCKTAILS Think about additional opportunities Lastly, don’t ignore spirits and cocktails. Cocktails offer gross profits of up to 80 per cent and the UK’s consumers currently have a considerable thirst for them. Aperitifs offer a great opportunity to encourage consumers to trade up to premium brands, while after-dinner

drinks can earn you good incremental sales. If you need to turn tables fast, try offering after-dinner drinks to accompany dessert or with coffee. Even in a fast casual restaurant, you can make this opportunity work for you. The Mexican restaurant chain Wahaca offers a small but quality selection of anejo (aged) tequilas. They sell “really well”, according to owner Mark Selby. Staff are encouraged to make recommendations. “If you can get customers to try these products, you get an amazing response,” explains Selby. “When they suddenly realise they do quite like tequila, they’ll come back to educate their friends on their new discovery.”

WHO ARE THE MOVERS AND SHAKERS? Right: Heston Blumenthal; Inset: Gordon Ramsay

irror, mirror on the wall which is the most influential of them all? How do you choose the movers and shakers in an industry? Several attempts – all with merit were made during the year by trade magazines, such as Restaurant and Caterer & Hotelkeeper, but all of them seemed to concentrate on the influence that individuals had on their companies, rather than on the industry generally. So we tried to focus on just ten people (eleven, actually, because we’ve hedged our bets over Heston and Gordon) who, in their various ways, have already significantly influenced the industry – or are likely to do so in the future. Some are not necessarily of the industry. Of course, the list is not exhaustive; many other names come to mind. Apologies to those who think they should be in the selection. And to avoid any overt favouritism, the list is in alpha order.

HESTON BLUMENTHAL The Fat Duck with GORDON RAMSAY Ramsay Holdings HAS Heston influenced British cuisine? Or should we pick Gordon Ramsay? The Roux family? Raymond Blanc? Or any other celebrity chef? At the end of the day, our vote is split between Heston for his more modest, more intellectual, more inconoclastic approach to food and Gordon for his extraordinary television success, his overbearing personality, his ego and his skill in still winning stars and accolades for restaurants that bear his name but which are run by talented staff. We should, perhaps, forget the swearing and his colourful private and business life. Both chefs are arguably at the top of their profession and their influence on the industry reaches into its furthest corners – Heston has opened Dinner at the Manderin Hyde Park to loud acclaim and is now involved in raising hospital food standards while Gordon has done much to push cookery,

and running a restaurant as a profession, into the national consciousness. The restaurant industry would certainly be the poorer without these dominating characters.

US brand owners), has proved that franchising is the successful business model of today and is the one to support future growth in the hotel industry – a far cry from 20 years ago when hotel ownership and operations were thought to be indivisible. There’s still a major independent sector in the UK hotel industry but the development of franchising is showing how the industry will develop in a future increasingly dominated by brand holders, developers and hotel operating companies. SANDIE DAWE Chief executive, VisitBritain VISITBRITAIN is UK’s key tourism marketing agency but how well it copes with the cuts in its funding – and is able to raise match-funding – will dictate how successfully UK tourism develops in the next five years. Certainly it needs imagination and determination from VisitBritain, especially as funds for tourism are being cut back which will put yet more pressure on VisitBritain’s diminishing resources. And how will cutbacks affect VisitEngland and VisitLondon in the long-term? Being able to do more with less – a perenniel government objective – is going to test the agency’s leadership and effectiveness. It’s difficult not to get the impression that the government’s policy is to abandon funding for individual industries altogether, so the

future of all the tourism promotion agencies must be under some doubt. As a result, the need for matchfunding, and more private investment, becomes ever more critical. Will this come about? Only time will tell – but it’s difficult to see companies, which are already spending large sums on their own promotions, wanting to stump up even more for generic promotion of Britain. VisitBritain is influential but it has a fight on its hands to stay that way. GRANT HEARN Chairman, Travelodge TRAVELODGE was the original budget hotel group, formed as long ago as 1985, but it was Grant Hearn’s arrival in 2003 as chief executive (he’s now chairman) and ownership by Dubai International Capital, that set the company on the present road to rapid expansion. His influence lies in the company’s aggressive approach to growth – it now has over 450 hotels and 30,000 rooms. His belief that Travelodge is more akin to retailing than hotelkeeping – something that tends to get up the nose of traditionalists – means that the company is regarded with some suspicion by independent hoteliers; the fact that Travelodge makes no bones about being out to get the independent’s business doesn’t help Travelodge’s (and Premier Inn’s) influence on the industry lies in its

aggressive promotions, very low prices and good value – all factors putting huge pressure on the independent sector. UFI IBRAHIM Chief executive, British Hospitality Association WITHIN three months of her appointment as chief executive, Ufi Ibrahim had produced two reports – one defining the size and shape of the hospitality industry (it employs 2.4m people), the other pointing the way ahead for the industry, with a target of creating 236,000 jobs by 2015. Clearly on a mission to forge a positive partnership with government in order to move the industry forward, she has shown that she intends to reinforce BHA as the industry’s leader. Her task is being made more difficult by a government which is cutting public funding in many areas, including tourism promotion, while raising taxes (such as VAT) – all of which might well inhibit rather than encourage growth, certainly in the short-term. But investment in both the hotel and restaurant sectors continues and the industry will achieve more by working with the government rather than against it. The main challenge: David Cameron’s speech on tourism was widely welcomed but many of the measures the government has had to take to reduce the deficit actually hinder rather than help the industry’s growth.

On the continent, chefs have lopped themselves when losing a star – that’s never happened here but there’s plenty of angst in the industry before the annual ratings are announced, and afterwards. What influence does Michelin Man bring? Undoubtedly, he’s been a huge influence on restaurant standards (though that’s not to decry the influence of other guides, like Harden’s, The Good Food Guide, AA Guide).

JAMIE OLIVER JAMIE’S influence on school meals is indisputable. Through his television series to improve school meals, he single-handedly forced £250m out of the previous Labour administration by shaming the government’s indifference to school food. No-one has done this before and it’s doubtful if it can ever be repeated: a remarkable achievement. He’s since gone on to found Fifteen, his restaurant charity for unemployed youngsters, which has spread overseas.

ALAN PARKER Ex-chief executive, Whitbread WE ought to be naming Andy Harrison, Whitbread’s new chief executive, in this slot but he’s not had time yet to prove himself – so Alan Parker should be credited with creating the UK’s biggest hotel group with just one brand – Premier Inn, now with over 41,000 rooms – and the Costa coffee shop chain (and not to forget Beefeater).

economically priced accommodation, aggressively promoted. With Costa, he’s popularised a lucrative coffee shop market which has encouraged others to enter. Ironically (as with Travelodge) both hotel companies are bucking the franchise trend and neither brand is franchised in the UK (though Costa is). The influence of Premier Inn lies in the fact that neither the independent sector – nor other brands – can forget that Premier Inn is the UK’s biggest hotel company, and is determined to stay that way. JOHN PENROSE Minister for Tourism WE’RE not sure exactly how much influence John Penrose does wield, but it could be significant. Unfortunately, recent government decisions – migration cap, increase in VAT,

increase in Air Passenger Duty, increase in visa charges – decisions outside his ken – all mitigate against the development of UK tourism. Can he and Jeremy Hunt, his DCMS boss, influence those decisions yet to be made? Or should this slot be occupied by George Osborn, the Chancellor? We’ll see. The government was about to produce a tourism framework at the time of going to press, and that will point the way ahead. However, the Ides of March are not promising. Big reductions in VisitBritain’s funding have been followed by the amalgamation of VisitLondon into two other agencies (with less money) – Promote London – and there are additional concerns about the interest in tourism by the new Local Enterprise Partnerships which are taking over local tourism promotion from the soon to-be-scrapped regional development agencies. He’s got a thankless task balancing all the different interests but his influence on the industry will remain significant – that

WHETHER Andrew Lansley, health minister, or Tim Smith, the chief executive of the Food Standards Agency, is listed here is a moot point but there’s no doubt that Mr Lansley will have the more profound influence on the industry in the next few years. The minister’s decision to continue with the FSA’s calorie counted menu programme as part of the government’s (very laudable) fight against obesity is currently entirely voluntary. But unless the industry gives it strong support, it’s easy to see the scheme becoming statutory – as it is in some parts of the US. Some restaurants serving standardised menus might find calorie counting relatively straightforward (though unwelcome) and already Prêt à Manger calorie-counts all its sandwiches. But independent restaurateurs, who may change their menus regularly, will find this a very onerous, costly and time-consuming task. The government believes that calorie information will deter customers from choosing those calorie-laden dishes – bad news for both pizza restaurants and indulgent diners. Most restaurateurs claim that customers aren’t interested anyway – and even if they are, they won’t take any notice. Time will tell. But Mr Lansley will put real pressure on the industry and operators should not delude themselves that this issue will go away. UK HOSPITALITY BLACK BOOK 2011

Marketing Advertising: 2010 - Style

128

2011

Advertising

ADVERTISING: 2010-STYLE Hotel advertising generally evokes luxury, style and elegance – but not last year. Hoteliers, facing the economic downturn, turned to discounting to prop up falling occupancies. As a result, most companies – when they did advertise – took the opportunity to sell their rooms off the page, rather than trying to raise the profile of the brand, or particular aspects of it. It led to a rather visually boring year. Here’s a small selection of ads seen during 2010.

Premier Inn/Travelodge Display advertising by hotels during the year was largely confined to promoting rooms off-the- page – nowhere better illustrated than by Travelodge and Premier Inn who went head-to-head with similar style ads which were strong and clean, promoting price and giving readers a deadline in which to respond – Premier Inn using comedian Lenny Henry and Travelodge using the company’s mascot bear. Both print campaigns were supported by a series of television commercials.

Q Hotels/Millennium & Copthorne/Shearings Holidays/Menzies Hotels/ Hilton/Holiday Inn Apart from Premier Inn and Travelodge, other companies – including Hilton, Holiday Inn, Millenium & Copthorne, Menzies and Q Hotels – also relied on pricing to attract the reader, but giving lists of hotels with their matching prices. However, as the year went on, they all began to look very similar with little individual identity; it would have been understandable if readers became confused which brand was which.

Comments on ads

Coast and Country Hotels Coast and Country Hotels also went down the hotel listing route, clearly believing that price is the key determinant in consumer decision-making, but it also produced a more visually attractive full page in colour which promoted the company, the location of its hotels (helpfully designated on a map) and a value-for-money price. The result? Inviting pictures and brief copy gave the ad impact.

Holiday Inn Holiday Inn launched its series of whole page full colour ads during the year promoting the changes the company has made to the brand, including giving guests a choice of pillows (Stay Picky) and new lobbies (Stay Impressed). The new logostyle is prominently displayed and the ads have impact, but the Stay You trademark is a somewhat inconsequential sign off.

May Fair Hotel, London The May Fair Hotel, London, obviously believes that a picture needs no words – and you can understand why. This sumptuous picture tells all – a warm welcome, a luxury bed, ornate furniture (though the modern chair seems to be out of keeping with the traditional footstool at the end of the bed). And the eyes in the wall uncompromisingly hit the reader’s eyes. Earlier in the decade, ads like this littered the glossies – it’s good that Radisson Edwardian feels confident enough to sell its hotel on style and elegance in the middle of a recession.

Advertising

McDonald’s Not all ads during the year were there to promote business. McDonald’s took a series of pages in The Economist with a specific purpose – to emphasise its corporate social responsibility. One promoted the company’s use of local British produce – important for a multi-national – the other extolled its work experience schemes and the development of its people skills – important for a company trying to shake off the unhelpful McJob image. The ads tell the story succinctly and stylishly.

Mandarin Oriental Mandarin Oriental continued its striking long-standing She’s a Fan/He’s a Fan series of full pages during the year. The advantage of this series is that it is so striking and so recognisably Mandarin Oriental. No words – except right at the bottom where the identity of the person is revealed. It oozes style and elegance and pitches the hotel right up there in the luxury class.

Marriott Marriott also used The Economist during the year with a series based on the theme “Where the driven go”. Somehow, they don’t quite come off. The people in the pictures are identified but ‘Welcome to the perfect social networking site’ hardly conjures up an image of a great hotel. Nor, really, does the ‘Interface/ Face to face’ play on words. It’s an attempt at something different but it needs anchoring more strongly to the hotel scenario.

Hand Picked Hotels Hand Picked Hotels joined with the Daily Telegraph to promote a special reader offer – a good example of a joint promotion. This has a decent headline, good price visibility and concise copy and looks heaps better than the lists of hotels in the ads on page 128 but it doesn’t have the impact it could have. There’s only one splash of colour (a rather boring hotel exterior) and the rest of the copy is predominantly in grey with some very small type for the towns of the hotel listings. Most older readers would have needed a magnifying glass. The numbers on the map and in the list would have surely been better picked out in colour.

Kitchen Equipment Sustainability in the key | Peter Kay

Top ten in the kitchen | Gareth Sefton

2011

Catering Equipment

SUSTAINABILITY IS THE KEY to catering equipment development The great advances in catering equipment over the last ten years have seen increasing emphasis by manufacturers on sustainability issues, particularly energy saving/ conservation and reduced water consumption as Peter Kay of the Catering Equipment Distributors Association explains.

he biggest issue for the catering equipment industry over the next ten years is learning to understand the life cycle of the kitchen. Most caterers do not know what it costs to run it. They see a bill at the end of the month or quarter and they see it rising...... steadily. But they do not know whether it is the lighting, heating or the kitchen equipment that is running up the bills, because very few kitchens are separately metered. Within the kitchen itself – with nothing separately metered – operators do not know what equipment is expensive to run. They can take a guess, of course, but there is also the issue of how the equipment is being used or misused. Does chef turn on the solid top cooker first thing to warm the place up? Does the dishwasher get used for just a couple of dishes or a few glasses? Do the staff prop open the door of the cold room for 20 minutes while sorting the deliveries? A big change to commercial kitchens in the next decade will be the introduction of metering. This in turn allows for benchmarking. Eventually operators should be able to calculate how much energy and water is consumed to produce a single meal. Once this is established as a start point, it’s easy to calculate and compare equipment performance. For example, a major high street pub chain found that its energy consumption

134

l UK HOSPITALITY BLACK BOOK 2011

was almost as high on a Tuesday evening as on a Saturday, but with a big difference in the numbers catered for. The answer, of course: equipment was on all the time, geared for maximum output. An energy-saving rethink led to the introduction of new working practices mixed with some new equipment, geared for smaller volumes. The graphs below show one kitchen cooking two different lunches over two separate weeks. Gas, electric and water consumption has been measured. The food produced was equally well received. The difference lies in cooking techniques and in equipment that was switched on but not producing anything. In the top example, equipment is switched on and left running; in the bottom example the equipment is switched on only when required. Bring sustainability into the equation Energy prices have rocketed in the last ten years and this, in turn, has helped

drive the need for more ‘sustainable’ kitchens. Many restaurateurs and hoteliers bring sustainability into the equation when choosing new equipment. But, along with their colleagues in the public sector, some (perhaps most) will back off being green when they are faced with higher prices to pay for the better quality equipment that really can deliver energy and water savings. An oft-quoted example is the ‘heat pump’, priced around £3,000, offered as an optional extra for a large commercial dishwasher handling, say, upwards of 300 covers daily. The manufacturer has the figures to prove the pump (which recycles waste heat from the rinse water) will save more than double the extra cost over the expected ten-year life span of the equipment. However, the person buying the dishwasher – the kitchen manager – cannot afford the heat pump; he doesn’t have the budget. Even if he does, he would rather spend the £3,000 on something sexier than a pump.

The top graph shows that the cooking equipment is left running; the bottom graph shows that the equipment is switched on only when required.

BLACK BOOK HOSPITALITY 2011

This situation only has a happy ending when the person paying the utility bills and the kitchen manager are brought together to discuss the issue. Common sense prevails – as does an extra £3,000 on the kitchen equipment budget. So what equipment has improved? The equipment that has gained most in efficiency through improved manufacture and design includes warewashing, combination ovens and refrigeration, where any new product launched now will probably claim to be at least 25 per cent more efficient than a similar product launched five years ago. Wash tanks on warewashers are typically smaller than they used to be, saving on heating water and on detergent. Rinse systems also use less water now and better design makes more use of waste hot rinse water to bring heat back into the wash area, rather than sending it down the drain. Combi-ovens are now so sophisticated they can feature hundreds of pre-set programmes for roasting, steaming, baking, poaching, toasting plus operating instructions in virtually any language. Once switched on and up to temperature, a modern combi will use hardly any energy at all to keep itself ready for action. New refrigerators feature alarms to tell you the door has been open for too long and all the major manufacturers are launching increasingly efficient models, frequently with a very loud ‘green’ marketing message. Design is getting cleverer and one manufacturer, with a

unique patented design of undercounter fridge unit, claims more than 50 per cent energy savings against all other types of commercial fridge. The industry itself is also forcing change. The ‘fast, casual’ dining sector, for example, including the host of low to mid-spend branded chains, has demanded equipment that maximises productivity from the minimum footprint using relatively unskilled staff. Equipment has to suit the productivity and hygiene issues involved in standardised menus, while saving time and allowing more versatile use of labour. ‘Accelerated’ cooking solutions designed to meet these needs include microwaveassisted combination ovens, which dramatically reduce cooking times and enable call-order cooking of dishes that would otherwise take 20-40 minutes of conventional cooking. Induction griddles, induction hobs and infrared grills combined with forced hot air enable quick cooking of smaller portions using far less energy than conventional ovens or grills. Knowledge is power So if the industry is driving better equipment and manufacturers are making it better, it must be easier to choose the right stuff? Combi ovens are sexy and every chef wants one because they are so versatile. What could be simpler than choosing a new combi oven? All the big name manufacturers make combis, so it should be easy to compare the different makes? And the same goes for fryers... right?

Sadly, no such luck. Some combi makers have been very good at disguising their performance or lack of it, and we are talking thousands of pounds difference in running costs over ten years between a good and an indifferent combi. Other makers are much better at providing water and energy usage information, but their test data might be completely unrealistic for a particular cooking scenario and menu. The same can be said for fryers. It’s easy to find out how many chips they will claim to cook in an hour, but how much oil will they consume or waste doing it? Over the life of a fryer, it’s likely that ten or maybe even 20 times the price of the fryer will be spent on replacement oil. So saving five per cent of oil adds up to big money and lots of energy saved. Screaming With every manufacturer screaming their sustainable credentials at the industry, what is the best choice? Equipment choice can be habitual but thinking outside the box can reduce the energy demand of refrigeration, for example, by cutting the number of fridges. Moving from twice-weekly deliveries to three or four per week, or even daily can significantly save on the need for fridge space, cut energy bills and improve carbon footprint. Big brands on the high street are looking at modern refrigeration design and working out that the extra cost of the most efficient units is insignificant when the energy savings and longer shelf life of the food are taken into account.

Is induction the way forward? Proven reliable, with costs dropping and with availability from many of the major, most trusted manufacturers, induction is coming of age. Many of the large bespoke cooking ranges sold to the top chefs will feature it. Induction cuts wasted heat; hence, it cuts the demand for ventilation. There are now induction fryers, griddles, boilers and hobs available, suited together as one unit. Mobile self-ventilating cooking with induction hobs brings theatre-style cooking to the front-of-house without smoking the place out. Smaller induction units can replace the ubiquitous gel heaters for keeping food warm at buffets. But is induction the most sustainable choice for a busy lunch service? Compared with gas, electricity has twice the carbon footprint. Working flat out for a two-hour session, the traditional gas range is still the more sustainable choice. Managing waste As if the ‘carbon emissions’ aspect is not enough to focus on, operators are also being pressured to reduce the amount of waste that goes to landfill and to encourage recycling wherever possible. This is another aspect of selecting new equipment that needs to be considered. What happens to the old one? How recyclable is the new one? Internet illusion There is an illusion that the internet can provide answers. Indeed, CEDA, representing the majority of the UK’s

l UK HOSPITALITY BLACK BOOK 2011

professional catering equipment distribution and sales companies, has recently re-launched its website to include generic buying information on main items of equipment. Search for any kind of advice on choosing specific equipment on the web and there is little that will actually help operators choose the right product – no website can do that. More likely, web surfers will come across what the industry calls ‘box-shifters’ – companies that will sell any equipment product, ostensibly at a discounted price, and drop it at your door. Faced with buyers just wanting what appears to be the cheapest price, internet traders focus on turnover at low margins and will sell as ‘optional extras’ items that should come as standard (for example, the wheels required for a new fryer). They expect the buyer to know what they want. The issues become more complicated and the marketing-hype, via the internet, ‘tweets’ and conventional trade press, get ever louder. Curiously, as internet trading increases, so does the need for a professional catering equipment distributor to remove the old oven or cooking range. The new oven could come via the internet or a dealer, but it still needs installing; new gas, electric or water services might be required, as might some new ventilation. And who will replace that thermostat under warranty and, later on, give the oven a service? CEDA members provide advice independent of the manufacturers.

Kitchen Equipment

TOP TEN IN THE KITCHEN Innovation and advances in technology have brought an abundance of modernday kitchen and restaurant equipment to market – many of which can bring long-term benefits to the kitchen in terms of better work flow, improved operating costs and more efficient use of labour. Gareth Sefton of SeftonHornWinch, a member of the Foodservice Consultants Society International, suggests the top 10 items of kitchen equipment in the last decade.

1 Water Bath

Key benefits: The water bath gives unrivalled precision and control. Water bath cooking provides the chef with unrivalled precision and control. Products can be cooked at low but consistent temperatures for long periods of time, ensuring they are cooked but not damaged. This method of cooking also ensures moisture and flavour are maintained. Typically, when grilling meat from raw, from the moment it hits the hot grill it’s drying out, which causes damage to the fibres. With a water bath, the meat is already cooked before it reaches the grill and therefore the time on the grill is needed only to caramelise the sugars to obtain the desired texture and flavour. The reduced cooking time achieved when using a water bath also results in less pressure during a busy service.

2 Multi-point induction hob Key benefit: Quick, energy efficient, 140

number or pieces of equipment in the kitchen, it adds value to chefs by saving time, energy, space and ultimately cost. To top it all off, the Thermomix is also self cleaning. All the chef needs to do is add water and washing-up liquid and the machine cleans itself.

4 Blast Chiller Induction hobs allow fast, energyefficient, high-temperature cooking. They work by transferring an alternating current through a coil, creating a magnetic field beneath the ceramic top of a hob that transfers heat directly to a pan. Only when the pan is placed on the surface, does the element heat up. With the latest developments of multi–point technology, the benefits of clean and cool power can be optimised within a commercial kitchen. Historically, the single and dual zone induction coils have best suited larger pans, whereas the multi-point now allows the use of smaller pans – much in the same way as a traditional solid top.

3 Thermomix

Key benefit: Reducing the number of pieces of kitchen equipment while saving time, energy and space. One of the most flexible and versatile pieces of equipment in the kitchen, the Thermomix can do the job of a number of items: blending, grinding, puréeing, steaming, mixing and weighing. It can be used to make everything from stocks and sauces, jams and sorbets and soups through to bread, pancake batter and juice. It can also steam fish, meat and vegetables and grind spices and coffee. As well as cutting down on the

Key benefit: Rapidly reducing the temperature of food for safe storage. Blast chilling is a must in every modern kitchen and an important piece of kit to help caterers comply with food hygiene legislation. It uses cold air to reduce the temperature of hot food quickly so it can be stored safely in either chilled or frozen format for future re-heating. Cooling food without correct refrigeration not only poses a safety risk but can damage the quality and taste of the produce. Manufacturers like Irinox have made some real developments in the technology for reducing chilling times and maintaining high product quality with rapid chilling, conservation, shock freezing and controlled thaw all further assisting the modern-day caterer.

5 Hold-o-Mat slow cook and hold oven Key benefit: Reduces pressure in the kitchen by giving chefs the opportunity

to slow cook and hold prepared food. In today’s kitchen, the ability to reduce the pressure during service while maintaining a high quality standard of food is essential. Thanks to its slow cook function and ability to control holding temperature and humidity, the Holdo-Mat slow cooker and hold oven can help chefs achieve high standards with minimum hassle. Dishes can be cooked in advance and held ready to be served – in perfect condition – as and when they are required.

thermostats and timers alone isn’t enough. Not only does food stored or served at the incorrect temperature pose a health risk, but food served at the wrong temperature can damage the taste of a dish. The introduction of the digital food temperature probe has helped chefs immensely by giving accuracy in a simple, easy-to-use format. It’s made complying with food safety regulations simpler and saves time in the kitchen thanks to its precise performance.

benefits of a traditional combi-oven the mini-combi is one of the most flexible pieces of kit in the kitchen. Like its big brother the combi-oven, it combines a convection oven with a steamer but is small enough to fit on a shelf, or on top of a counter.

Its size means it is no longer relegated to the back of the kitchen for use in bulk production and chefs can use it when prepping smaller scale items such as pastry, fish or veg. The mini-combi’s size makes it ideal for à la carte restaurants dealing with a high volume of small portions.

8 Quick Therm Salamander 6 Pacojet Key benefit: Produces top quality elements for dishes with minimum effort. This very versatile item was originally designed for producing ice cream and sorbets but is now being used by chefs to make savoury elements of dishes such as purées, compound butters and mousses. It can produce both top quality frozen desserts and savoury elements with minimum effort. All the chef has to do is fill the beaker with the ingredients, and the Pacojet freezes and processes it. As well as being small and compact, the machine minimises wastage making it suitable for smaller portion high quality products, and is also really cost efficient.

Key benefit: Reaches optimum temperature in eight seconds. The quick therm salamander gives all the benefits of a traditional salamander – grilling, browning, toasting – but can reach its optimum temperature in only eight seconds. This super-fast heating system not only helps drastically reduce preparation time but once food is cooked it can store dishes at the correct temperature too, helping operators like pub chefs and QSRs to hold hot foods, such as pies, at temperatures ready to serve. What’s more, the system has a plate detection system feature which automatically activates the heating elements when a plate comes into contact with it. Removal of the plate automatically turns the machine off, meaning it’s only hot when in use.

7 Digital Food Temperature Probe Key benefit: Accuracy in a simple to use format. The use of a reliable food temperature probe is essential for all chefs – relying on

9 Mini-Combi Key benefit: Its compact size brings the combi-oven to the heart of the kitchen. Small, compact and with all the

10 Electrolux – High Speed Sandwich Press.

Key benefit: Serves a lunch queue in half the time. Grilling sandwiches and wraps in less than half the time of a traditional sandwich machine, the Electrolux high speed sandwich press is a really ingenious piece of kit. It’s particularly useful for sandwich and deli operators serving large numbers of customers over a condensed period of time. The kit uses innovative technology that integrates three heat sources – contact plates, infrared and microwaves – cooking quickly but to a high quality. All the operator needs to do is put the sandwich in the press, push start and continue serving the customer. UK HOSPITALITY BLACK BOOK 2011

1 Online reservation systems This is arguably the most significant technology to hit the hospitality industry. Last year, 54.2 per cent of overall central reservation system (CRS) bookings for the top 30 global hotel brands came from the internet channel. Consultancy Hospitality eBusiness Strategies (HeBS) estimates that 45 per cent of all hotel bookings in 2010 were made via the internet. Being able to sell rooms through what is called the direct channel – in other words, the hotel’s own website – dramatically cut costs for the industry, which was previously reliant on indirect channels such as travel agents and the Global Distribution System, as well as traditional telephone bookings.

HeBS has calculated that selling a room via the hotel website is eight times cheaper that booking via an online travel agent. It is not just hotels that have benefited. Niklas Eklund, the chief executive of Livebookings, says the internet provides a big opportunity for restaurants large and small to acquire more customers. “If customers have the ability to access information on restaurants and menus and are able to book 24/7 then they are more likely to book, especially if restaurants can offer incentives online,” he says.. Gillian Myles, head of sales, marketing and PR for the Signature Pub Group, which has a portfolio of six hotel/pub businesses and 200 staff on Scotland’s east coast, agrees. “The most significant technology development for us has been the restaurant online booking system, which is also an in-house reservation management tool,” she says. “The booking system allows us to optimise the restaurant, controlling how many covers we take, when we take them, and when we re-sit those tables which allows the guest the perfect amount of time at the table whilst maximising our sales opportunities.”

Technology

The hospitality sector has historically been relatively slow to adapt to technology, compared to other consumerfacing industries such as retail and finance. But IT is now helping to change the face of the industry, says Daniel Thomas. typical hotel guest can now research properties on his smart phone, book a room online, use a self check-in system at the front desk and then watch personalised television programmes in his room. In the restaurant sector, some operators are now offering touch screen menus, while mobile point-of-sale systems are commonplace. But it’s not all about cutting edge innovation. Technology that has been around for years, such as revenue management and electronic point-of-sale systems, continues to play a vital role. But what have been the technological innovations that have done most to help hospitality attract and retain customers?

TOP TEN INNOVATIONS FOR HOSPITALITY

2 Property Management Systems (PMS) For Gregoire Poirier, principal consultant for global hospitality at communication technology firm Avaya, the first “great leap” for hospitality technology was the advent of property management systems (PMS). “Moving reservations away from a ‘big red book’ into a PMS system provides the tools to sell out on occasions at a true 100 per cent,” he says. “PMS enables operators to maximise occupancy, particularly for large meetings and conventions which means growth for airlines, theme parks, mega retail, rental car companies and such like.” Many PMS suppliers have expanded the number of functions they can support across a hotel operation. According to Tim Henthorn, managing director of consultancy Software Strategy, there are now multiple examples of systems that offer modules for managing core reservations, point-of-sale, sales and catering, spa and more. “These systems enable operators to tie together previously disparate systems and sets of customer information. With this power, hoteliers are able to understand more about their guests and what they want from a stay at the hotel.” UK HOSPITALITY BLACK BOOK 2011 l

In the hospitality sector, the manufacturer says that the device mobilises bar, club and restaurant staff to be wherever their customers are, giving them fast and personal service by taking orders anywhere, inside or outside.

3. Electronic point-of-sale systems EPOS touches all parts of the hospitality sector, from the smallest pub to the largest conglomerate. At their most basic, Epos systems provide a faster and more reliable interface between the server and the kitchen (with orders being directly routed to the right place). Epos systems are also invaluable for providing and analysing sales data for operators such as, for example, contract caterers wanting to compare sales at different sites. In recent years, increasing numbers of hospitality operators have turned to mobile ordering and Epos systems. Trevor Nesbeth, chief executive at mobile technology firm MGI Multimedia, says wireless ordering brings a number of benefits. “Waiters can fully concentrate on the order-taking function and move from table-to-table, replacing the previous practice of table-to-kitchen-to-table,” he says. “The waiter actually earns more revenue for the restaurant by attending and taking orders from customers

l UK HOSPITALITY BLACK BOOK 2011

instead of walking to the kitchen and back to the tables.” 4. Revenue management Revenue management (RM), which was pioneered by airlines in the 1980s to help them maximise revenue based on supply and demand, started to become prevalent in the hotel sector during the mid-1990s. RM systems allow hotel operators to divide their customers into separate buying groups, such as business travellers, frequent guests and group bookings and leisure travellers and start building a picture of how and when they make reservations and what kinds of reservations they typically make. As hotels started selling through different channels, whether internet, GDS or phone, they started to predict the standard lead times coming from each channel. At the heart of RM systems is sophisticated modelling software, which, over time, allows hotels to start making predictions about what type of bookings they can expect on any

given day. Other crucial information on cancellations, no-shows and length of stay is also available. RM systems have developed to the stage where hotel operators can track the room rates offered by rival chains and adjust their prices accordingly within minutes. “Revenue management is a vehicle to help hotels to become aware of the rooms they sell, the rates at which they sell, and the pace at which they sell,” says hotel marketing coach Neil Salerno. “It is a way in which hotels can become proactive in the selling process, rather than simply posting rates and waiting for them to be sold.” 5. Wireless networking The advent of wireless local area networks (WLANs) has been a huge boon to the hospitality industry, allowing hotels and restaurants to offer wireless broadband access to their customers. Ironically, though pioneered by major high street restaurant brands such as Starbucks and McDonald’s, wireless internet access is now

BLACK BOOK

HOSPITALITY 2011

commonplace in hotels. In the early days, businesses charged guests for using their broadband connections but they quickly realised the best route was to offer wireless for free and then to charge for games or movies that guests download. Hotels can also use WLANs to connect with their guests by giving them the ability to plug in their own devices during their stay. A growing number of hotels are installing communications panels, where guests can plug in their laptop and iPod and surf the internet or play their music on the flat-screen in their room. The introduction of voice over internet protocol systems, which allow operators to deliver all their communication services over one converged network, has also improved customer service. Oliver East, sales director UK and Ireland at communication technology specialist Swisscom, says that systems talk to each other. “This provides a higher level of service personalisation – which can be invaluable for the hotel

operator to build customer loyalty and gain additional revenue.” 6. Self check-in technology The growth of online booking means consumers are becoming increasingly self-sufficient when it came to their hospitality experiences yet time-scarce hotel guests are still frustrated with long queues at reception. This changed with the introduction of self check-in kiosks, which allow guests to bypass reception completely. Steve Conway, marketing director at Premier Inn, which launched its first fully self check-in hotel in Sheffield in 2009, says it is particularly good for business guests who can now get room key cards in under a minute. Premier Inn now has over 20 sites with self check-in kiosks. “This enables reception teams to come out from behind the desk to greet guests,” he says. While self check-in seems most naturally suited to those properties with a high percentage of business customers, experts insist it can fit all types of hotel.

Left: Steve Conway: “Self checkin speeds up hotel arrivals and prevents long queues at reception.”

Technology

“Kiosks can fit across the range,” says Ted Horner’ technical advisor at technology firm Infosight. “The reality today is that if I’m in a five-star hotel, why shouldn’t there be a kiosk to give me the choice? If I want to get to my room quickly and I’m familiar with kiosks, they speed up the check-in.” 7. Online and mobile marketing As well as providing what has become the key sales channel, the internet is creating lots of new marketing opportunities for hospitality operators. Neil Salerno says that as the popularity of using the internet to research and book hotels increased, more hotels discovered the virtues of search engine optimisation and pay-perclick advertising. “In many cases, this was the total extent of their internet marketing programmes. “But today a good internet marketing programme includes site market positioning, revenue management, search engine regional marketing, link strategy, package marketing, promotion creation, e-mail promotion mailings, guest comment referrals, website design optimisation, and more.” Online marketing is now increasingly focused on mobile phones, as the number of consumers using their device to access the internet has increased. As mobile phones have got smarter, some operators are using them to send barcode images or vouchers that can be redeemed at their venue, says Stephen Minall, director of consultancy Moving Food. “Mobile phones are growing, not just taking photos of bad experiences in our restaurants and bars, but used for posting or forwarding vouchers and offers, This is leading to some early stage technology for pre-order and prepayment systems,” he explains. Operators have also been quick to tap into the popularity of Apple’s

iPhone, with a number of hospitality related applications – or “apps” – available, such as booking a room at Travelodge or Hilton, or finding the nearest restaurant. 8. Social media Once, the power to make or break a hospitality operator’s reputation was the preserve of guide book editors and newspaper critics, but the launch of sites such as TripAdvisor and the massive popularity of social media websites such as Facebook and Twitter means peer review has become more important to many consumers. In a poll of 2,000 restaurant goers, conducted last summer, one in three said they trusted the judgements of fellow diners, family and friends compared to 15 per cent who put their faith in recognised reviewers. Just under half (48 per cent) said they would always check a restaurant’s reputation before making a booking. Stephen Minall says operators cannot afford to ignore this trend. “The social media discussions are happening in small independents to large groups,” he says. “Facebook has hit 500m users in less than six years – so if a restaurant doesn’t have a Facebook site with its menu posted, why not?” And while there has been a backlash against TripAdvisor from some parts of the hospitality industry – who argue that the site does not do enough to monitor false comments – the website is not going to disappear. It attracts 40m monthly visitors across 21 countries, including 4.5m to the UK. 9 Customer Relationship Management The success or failure of a hospitality operator is invariably dependent on how good its customer service is. The advent of customer relationship management (CRM) software allows operators to store relevant customer data and use it to improve customers’ experience

150

by providing them with more targeted services. For Tim Henthorn, CRM is the “art of understanding your guests across pre-sale, sale, stay, and post-stay related interactions, and applying this new knowledge to improve your overall business. “While marketing to these customers, your business will create a better understanding of their research and shopping habits. With customers booking directly on your website, you will see more about their actual buying preferences and thus learn how you can adjust your offerings,” he says. “Tracking a guest’s activities and buying behaviour while at your property gives you a better perspective on their service requirements,” he adds. “Tying all of this information together will help you enhance all your business processes from initial marketing to post-stay interactions.”

10 Green technology Sustainability is now high on the agenda for most hospitality operators and technology is playing its part, particularly in the area of energy efficiency. An ecologically sound approach to property management is rapidly becoming the norm rather than the exception, with technology such as occupancy to sensors to control room thermostats in widespread use. The most cutting edge green technology can be found in newbuild hotels – as retrofitting is often prohibitively expensive – with Premier Inn at the forefront. Whitbread has opened two “green hotels” in Tamworth and Burgess Hill, featuring technology such as a lift that recharges itself on the way down (see page 170). Food storage technology has also evolved in recent years, with devices such as the eCube – which makes the thermostat react to the temperature of the food in the fridge rather than the air addressing excessive electricity consumption – proving popular amongst contract caterers in particular.

PAYMENTS GAIN HOSPITALITY SPOTLIGHT

s hospitality organisations seek to combat rising costs, cope with financial pressures and greater competition, payments - traditionally the Cinderella of the hospitality industry - is set to take centre stage. New innovations in payments products and services are stepping into the spotlight as pubs, hotels, restaurants and leisure groups strive to improve customer service, streamline operations and reduce costs. Tony Saunders, Marketing Director of VeriFone comments, “Payment is a crucial part of customer service. If slow, unreliable, unsecure or poorly executed, it can undermine even the best hospitality experience; leaving a poor impression.” “At VeriFone we believe hospitality organisations have a unique set of requirements. That is why we have created a whole raft of industry-specific solutions from the robust, wireless POS devices in our latest VX Evolution range to our PAYware Merchant Managed Service – a total solution offering end-to-end payments processing via a hosted platform customised for each merchant.” While speed, security, reliability and performance are increasingly vital; so is the ability to make transactions easier,

more convenient and also pleasurable for a population whose attitudes towards technology have changed dramatically since the introduction of Chip and PIN. To win, in a competitive market, today’s devices need to be fast, safe AND rich in appeal. That’s exactly why VeriFone has introduced VX Evolution. Delivering colour, touch, memory and speed, this next generation of VX payment devices will enrich and redefine the customer experience. With 15 times more memory and eight times more processing power than traditional Point of Sale (POS) devices, they feature large colourful, touch screens and flexible connectivity to drive integrated, multiple applications. They also offer contactless capability and advanced security features including PCI PTS 3.0 compliance. Designed to support integration of all terminals and channels, VeriFone’s PAYware software, provides the perfect platform for ensuring effective payment integration and real-time reporting and system management. But hardware and software are only part of the payments chain. New approaches are also creating opportunities for increased efficiency and improved service while helping to

meet increasing security burdens. Saunders confirms, “Many hospitality venues are feeling the squeeze from recessionary cost control measures and are struggling with the scale of investment required to meet PCI regulations. They are looking for ways to help them manage these challenges. Our new PAYware Merchant Managed Service reflects this demand. It provides owners with an alternative way to manage their entire payments process more effectively by outsourcing it completely – freeing them from the cost and burden of running their own system.” While creating a more compelling experience for the customer isn’t something you’d normally associate with payments; the potential for merchants investing in the latest payments solutions is huge. Saunders concludes, “Faster service, a smoother, less stressful settlement process, together with new technology, transforms payments into a powerful business-enhancing tool. We look forward to working with hospitality organisations to let their payments potential shine through.” For further details go to

and helps hotels to upsell their services Left: Lobby of the new Corinthia Hotel, London. Inset: Erlend Strømnes: “We’re entering a new era, offering never seen before services. There is no question that we are changing the whole business.”

The move from analogue to digital has opened up new opportunities for hotels to create significantly deeper relationships with their guests. Miles Quest explores the world of cloud computing.

hen the Corinthia Hotel in London opens in April this year, it will be the capital’s latest luxury hotel – redeveloped, incidentally, from a hotel that originally opened in the 1870s and which became offices in the 1940s. Transformed back into five star plus luxury, it will now have a guest information and management system that the original guests back in the 19th century could not have even dreamt about. Hotels today fight a fierce competitive battle for their guests. Attracting new business, when new hotels are opening all the time – some far more technologically advanced than others – means that hotels are seeking that USP that makes them irresistible. But just as important, hotels know that the art is to keep the guest coming back. Loyalty is the key, and for a good reason. It’s easier and less expensive to retain a guest who has already visited your hotel than it is to find a new one. So, thanks to the creation of digital and the gradual abandonment of analogue, enter the world of customer relationship management (CRM) systems. Briefly, CRM opens up new opportunities for hotels to develop new relationships with their guests, and to consolidate existing relationships. It is able to welcome new guests and to ensure that repeat guests are made more welcome. It’s designed to ensure that loyalty is recognised. And, just as important (and to put it bluntly), it’s also designed to upsell

hotel products, like food and beverage, spa treatments, even on-line shopping in local shops with the sole aim of increasing hotel revenues. At least, these are some of the benefits that guests at the new Corinthia Hotel in London will be enjoying because, partnered with OTRUM, a forwardthinking company that has a growing world-wide reputation as a leading provider of interactive television solutions and content, it is installing just such a system And here’s the big difference – cloud computing. OTRUM is taking the physical technology hardware and computing power out of the hotel and placing it in online data warehouses. The data can be accessed from any computer browser, in any location, giving full access across an entire hotel chain or on an individual property level. Erlend Strømnes, senior vice president sales and distribution of OTRUM is a straight-talking Norwegian with an international outlook. “We’re entering a new era, offering never seen before services. Of course we offer the standard services that

any hotel would expect, but we have taken a giant leap ahead. There is no question that we are changing the whole business.” In short, he says, OTRUM solutions empower the hotel. “Think how much information a hotel has collected about the guest at check-in, as well as from existing CRM systems where the guests may be registered. What if it could use that information to upsell its services? Now we are talking about generating revenue, at the same time as offering the guest a personal service. “It’s time to recognise the individual, not a standard guest. Do I really want to check into a hotel and be offered spa services, a manicure or beauty treatment? Not really. But look into my profile and advertise the gym and sauna – that would have an impact. “Tailoring the services a hotel can offer can be done by guest profile, groups of guests, by day, by hour. Not only that, but this is all automated once you have defined your guest profiles. “The guest relationship is not over as soon as they have committed to a room UK HOSPITALITY BLACK BOOK 2011 l

the guest’s own language television programmes. So whether it’s a Russian business traveller who wants a Russian news programme, or a family who wants to relax with the latest Disney movie, the system will provide. Such a system can not only

increase revenues through the sale of additional hotel services that can be promoted over the television. It also aids operational efficiencies. For example, it provides a link between housekeeping, maintenance and reception staff on room status and room upkeep. It can be used to report the use of minibars via the television, automatically adding items to the hotel bill. And for the guest, it can provide a wide range of programming in both HD and SD, with automatic updates, language options and different genres –

available in both video on demand and scheduled formats. This year, OTRUM is developing its system even further building in smart intelligence so that, for example, a guest accessing a local map on his room television can use his smart phone to click onto the map’s bar code, which will then download the map onto his smart phone. It can also show local theatre links and even download a ticket for the show. And hotels can provide as much free wireless access time or bandwidth to computers as they wish. It would

for example, be possible to provide unlimited access or a not-so-generous free half hour and then charge for additional time. A hotel need not buy in all the services available. It can start with a small suite and then build up as the need arises. One of the advantages of the system is that it provides an ongoing statistical analysis of demand so that a hotel is able to check which services are the most popular and can be developed, and which ones need to be scrapped or developed in some other way.

CHOOSING A SUSTAINABLE SUPPLIER for tissue consumables

ompanies in the hospitality sector are now looking to reinforce their corporate environmental and social responsibility credentials, thereby fulfilling the high expectations of their guests, by considering the impact of the products they choose. Working in partnership with an accredited sustainable supplier for tissue consumables can truly enhance a company’s credentials with the added benefit of reducing costs. Being ‘green’ has become a bandwagon that many have jumped on. However being ‘green’ is no longer good enough since ‘green’ has no clear definition. The criteria for evaluation is now ‘sustainability’, which encompasses product lifecycle assessment, caring for the environment, improving the quality of people’s lives today, and preserving natural resources for future generations. Some may struggle with the concept of using disposables in an era where “reduce, reuse and recycle” is the mantra, but paper products can be highly sustainable too — and of course contribute greatly to best hygiene practice —particularly if they are manufactured with regard for the environment and the community. A growing number of companies are proclaiming themselves to be sustainable but for SCA, the manufacturer of Tork tissue consumables, sustainability is not a new subject. SCA has worked with life cycle assessment since the early 1990s and considers the environmental impact of its products at every stage — from manufacture, production and transport right through to consumption and disposal. Every tree harvested in SCA’s 2.6 million hectares of forests is replaced by three more, and around 70 per cent of Tork tissue products in Europe are made from recycled fibres. Not that recycled fibres are necessarily more sustainable than virgin fibres. In fact virgin fibres from a sustainable forest will be at least as sustainable — if not more so — than

recycled paper that has been transported many miles and then de-inked and brightened using chemicals. Tork offers solutions for all your tissue consumables needs with blue roll and other paper wipers for the kitchen, hand towels and toilet tissue for the washroom, and single serve napkins and napkin dispenser systems for front-of-house. Tork tissue systems are carefully designed to deliver greater value through efficient cost-in-use. In these costconscious times it’s very tempting to opt for the cheapest product, but by using the right quality tissue for the job and controlling consumption, not only can the overall cost of product be lower, but the associated costs of transportation, storage, maintenance and waste disposal are also reduced. For example, the Tork Elevation Hand Towel Roll system — widely used in high to medium traffic washrooms — is designed to dispense only one towel at a time to discourage over-consumption. The clever Tork Elevation Compact Auto Shift Toilet Paper system securely houses two compact rolls containing the equivalent of up to eleven small rolls, thus taking up less space in transit and in-situ. Another consumption-reducing system is the Tork Interfold Napkin Dispenser system — ideal for quick

and self-service establishments —which presents napkins one at a time, resulting in consumption savings of at least 25 per cent, thus reducing overall costs and freeing up staff time to concentrate on serving customers. SCA’s sustainability record has been well documented. An ever-growing number of Tork products hold the EU Ecolabel and SCA has been named in the Global 100 list of the world’s most sustainable companies by Corporate Knights and Innovest for six years running. For the past three years the Ethisphere Institute in the US has named SCA among the world’s most ethical companies, while in 2007 it was declared the world’s second greenest company in a not-since-repeated evaluation by the Independent newspaper in conjunction with Ethical Investment Research Services. When choosing tissue consumables, look at the bigger picture — seek out a brand that talks about sustainability, not merely being ‘green’ or ‘recycled’, and one with independently endorsed sustainability credentials. Also look for a brand that offers dispenser systems that reduce tissue consumption and associated costs. All this, and more, is offered in Tork tissue consumables. www.tork.co.uk Tel: 08449 935338

GREENEST HAND DRYER Mitsubishi Jet Towel cuts energy usage by three quarters

et Towel is redefining hand drying, not just in terms of user experience, but in energy savings for the operator. A Jet Towel dries hands in 1012 seconds, a third of the time of conventional hot air dryers, while using only one-fifth of the energy. This is because it is powered by an ultra efficient high tech 560W brushless motor, rather than the 2400-2500W drive of a traditional unit; Jet Towel’s nearest competitor has a noisy 1600W motor. A normal hand dryer blows warmed air over the hands to evaporate the water. A Jet Towel is completely different: you slip your hands into a generous-sized slot, which triggers a wafer thin, high speed air curtain that blows the water off. This is isolated in a receptor tank, whereas a normal dryer frees bacteria into the atmosphere. Not only does Jet Towel use less energy for less time, it has a host of 164

l UK HOSPITALITY BLACK BOOK 2011

other energy and money saving features, such as an automatic turn off. Further costs are saved on servicing, as there is no need to constantly resupply it with paper or roller towels, and from its minimal maintenance requirements. As an example of its energy saving capability, an office building for 500-1000 workers would experience 2,500,000-5,000,000 hand dryings a year. With Jet Towel, the energy required would be about 2,000W, with a hot air solution it would be about 100,000W. Alternatively you’d need 12000kg of paper towels a year, which would have to be both installed and disposed of – and represent 100-200 trees felled. One satisfied user is Marks and Spencer, which initially trialled Jet Towel at its London headquarters and a new store in Scotland. It instantly proved a winner with the installers, for its high tech elegance; with operators,

for its low running cost and reliability; and with users for its convenience, speed and hygiene. Jet Towel was found to fit perfectly with M&S’s publically stated Plan A for Carbon Reduction and its carefully nurtured image for quality in all respects and is now being rolled out across the whole business. Similarly, The Environment Agency has installed Mitsubishi Jet Towel in its South East Regional Headquarters. Going green with Jet Towel has been popular with the 400 environmentallyminded staff, while significant running cost has been saved. Full details of the revolutionary Jet Towel can be found at www.jettowel. co.uk, where an energy and cost saving calculator indicates savings for actual installations.

SUSTAINABILITY: HOSPITALITY GOES GREEN

ustainability comes in two guises: image and cost. Cynics may argue that those who welcome the public relations benefit of appearing more environmentfriendly in the eyes of consumers are really more interested in the effect on the bottom line of the profit-andloss account. Actually, to be truly sustainable, businesses have to tackle both. According to the Carbon Trust, the hospitality sector is responsible for more than 3.5m tonnes of CO2 emissions per year. The Trust estimates that energy savings of up to 20 per cent, equivalent to more than £200m, are possible across the sector. Buy a 200-year-old house in generally good condition and convert it to a hotel or restaurant. While it may deliver the marketing plan, it will almost certainly be a nightmare when the energy bills start arriving. Get it inspected for an energy performance certificate (EPC) and it will almost certainly come out at E or worse. Dominic Burbridge, senior sector manager for the hospitality sector at the Carbon Trust, says: ‘Anything built since 1990 is likely to have an EPC rating of C or better.’ Only C? Doesn’t this beg the question: if that’s the best they

Some Facts and Figures A 20 per cent cut in energy costs can represent the same bottom line benefit as a five per cent increase in sales in many businesses. Energy costs can usually be reduced by 10-20 per cent through simple actions that produce quick returns. Heating can account for more than 40 per cent of energy use in a typical hospitality business which means there are big opportunities to make savings. Lighting equipment is also a major heat emitter in a building. Using

energy efficient LED lighting produces less heat which can also reduce cooling costs – a double saving. When correctly scoped and installed, a Combined Heat and Power system can help to cut greenhouse gas emissions and also demonstrates a commitment to the environment. This can be used to promote a business as being environmentally friendly.

can achieve, what do architects and developers care about energy efficiency? Burbridge confirms this is a challenge: ‘Who’s going to pay for the cost of all the better materials?’ Since the risk is carried by the developer, if the industry is to be more ‘green’ in its construction standards, someone will have to make a case for why developers should increase investment costs to get an A-rated hotel. That pressure is on, from various quarters. From 2019 onwards, under proposals which were out for consultation under the previous government, new non-domestic buildings will have to be carbonneutral. The Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors has been looking at asset valuation in relation to energy efficiency, and there is a

growing consensus that low-carbon buildings are worth more than badlyperforming buildings on a similar site. Meanwhile the British Property Federation wants to see green leases. This would involve an increased investment by the freeholder, repaid by a higher rent from the operator. Dominic Burbridge reports, however, that some changes can be made relatively quickly and can deliver a quick return, in terms of reduced energy costs. As much as 40 per cent can be taken off a hotel’s energy bills – now 4.5 per cent of total revenues (3.5 per cent in 2005). It helps, of course, if you know where your energy expenditure is going, and the Carbon Trust urges all businesses, as a first step, to measure this. In an old building, 50 per cent of the energy use goes into heating,

2. Energy Performance in Buildings Directive (EPBD): This affects commercial buildings larger than 250sqm that are frequently visited by the public. 3. Air Conditioning Inspection: All air conditioning systems with a cooling capacity greater than 250kW must already have been inspected by now. All existing systems with a cooling capacity greater than 12kW must have been inspected by 4th January 2011. 4. R22 phase out: New equipment

20 per cent provides hot water, 10 per cent goes on lighting; and the balance is used mainly in cooking. Making the heating of the building more efficient will have the most direct impact on costs. Whitbread is one exceptional hotel and restaurant developer which has been forward-thinking in its investment and is achieving A grades on the EPC scale. At its new developments at Tamworth and Burgess Hill (see case study) it has been achieving savings of up to 80 per cent in energy costs. Dr Rebecca Hawkins, of Oxford Brookes University, whose special interest is ethical sustainability in the hospitality sector, says that, in addition to the kind of savings reported by the Carbon Trust, judicious combinations of technology can produce even better efficiencies. One example identified by CEDA, which represents catering equipment distributors, is that when induction cooking equipment is installed, in addition to the efficiency of the cooker, the reduced impact on ambient heat in the kitchen means that air conditioning becomes cheaper, too. VisitEngland has developed

Greenstart, an online service which provides information and management tools, available free to business. It’s distributed regionally, with local variations. In Cumbria, Greenstart is addressing regional issues about levels of chlorine in the water table. Cumbria has also developed a tool for measuring the carbon footprint of a business. Lincolnshire is promoting the Taste of Lincolnshire through Greenstart. Jason Freezer, of VisitEngland, says: ‘The benefit for local groups is that they get nationally applicable advice and can tweak it for local needs.’ As with any commodity, savings may be achieved by judicious purchasing, either directly from the supplier or through external consortia. Hotel Energy, which negotiates deals for hospitality businesses, achieved a 34 per cent reduction in gas prices for a hotel group which was using nearly 1,000,000 kWh a year. As the current contract was drawing to an end Hotel Energy was brought in to secure the best terms for the group’s forward energy requirements. As well as the 34 per cent reduction in projected costs for the supply of energy based on historical usage, it was also able to secure terms

using HCFC refrigerants like R22 was banned in 2001 due to its effect on the ozone layer (or 2004 for small air conditioning systems). From the end of 2009, the use of virgin HCFCs to service and maintain existing air conditioning systems was banned in all EC member countries. From 1st January 2010 only reclaimed and recycled R22 can be used which tends to make the supply of R22 limited and expensive. By the end of 2014 it will be illegal to use R22 (virgin or reclaimed). that offered 30 per cent reduction in energy rates over a longer-term agreement. Hotel Energy manages the ongoing supplier relationship. Another approach, available to businesses with annual energy consumption of up to 300,000 kWh, is to subscribe to a bundle of services gas, electricity and broadband internet - which are billed collectively by Utility Warehouse, a service operated by Telecom Plus.

Air Conditioning Although Air Conditioning can offer a very energy-efficient means of heating and cooling an individual room or the complete premises of a hotel, it also provides a means to enhance the comfort of your guests, allowing a premium to be charged for rooms. As an air conditioning system gets older, however, it may become less efficient, use more energy and develop leaks. Unfortunately, without a certified air conditioning inspection the system is unlikely to meet the Energy Performance in Buildings directive or achieve a carbon reduction commitment.

Sustainability

Case study 1: The Lowry Hotel, Manchester

WORKING to recommendations arising from a Carbon Trust carbon survey, The Lowry Hotel has reduced its energy consumption by 11 per cent, cut its carbon output by 363.5 tonnes of CO2 a year and is saving £37,498 a year at today’s energy prices. ‘It’s not about the money, although that’s an incentive, particularly given the increased cost of energy,’ says PR and marketing manager Helen Hipkiss. ‘It’s really about doing whatever we can to help the environment, without compromising the guest experience. The survey from the Carbon Trust made us realise how we could do this.’ The Lowry Hotel employs more than 200 staff and has 165 bedrooms and suites, as well as a restaurant, spa, gym, sauna and health suite, and event space for up to 400 people. In 2007, the hotel explicitly wrote energy awareness into its working 168

practices, setting a business objective to reduce its carbon footprint by 10 per cent year-on-year. But it wanted to avoid diminishing the hotel’s standards by, for example, asking guests to opt out of having their towels washed daily. Instead, it asked the Carbon Trust for advice on possibilities it might otherwise have overlooked. Actions taken Green committee established, to oversee carbon reduction initiatives. Building management system installed, allowing the hotel to monitor energy consumption and turn off lighting and air conditioning in areas which are not in use. Result: savings of 207.5 tonnes of CO2 per year. All light bulbs are being changed to energy efficient alternatives. Still in progress, this has so far saved the hotel 78 tonnes of CO2 a year.

Boilers fitted with a control system making them more energy efficient, saving 30 tonnes of CO2 a year. Air conditioning system improved. Result: savings of 34 tonnes of CO2. Bike parking points installed; some staff now cycle to work. Result: CO2 emissions reduced by 14 tonnes a year. Recycling points in offices make it possible to recycle glass, paper and plastic. ‘A lot of big companies now have a green agenda,’ says Helen Hipkiss. ‘They want to show that they’re doing their bit, and the fact that we’re focusing on reducing our carbon footprint makes us more attractive to companies with the same aims.’ The Lowry has been awarded Bronze recognition by the Green Business Tourism Scheme, and aims to work its way up to Gold.

Case study 2: Premier Inn, Tamworth

Case study 3: Bedruthan Steps Hotel and The Scarlet

SOLAR panels on the hotel roof capture heat from the sun and use it to heat water for guest bathrooms. However, the use of solar panels to produce hot water has not proved to be very successful due to the fact that they generate most hot water between 11am to 3pm, but the peak demands of the hotel are 6am to 9am and 5pm to 8pm. Ventilation is linked to a heat recovery system: warm air vented from bathrooms is mixed with fresh air to deliver warm air to bedrooms. Low-energy LED light bulbs are fitted with motion sensors: if noone is detected in a bedroom, lights automatically switch off. ‘Greywater’ is collected from baths and showers, together with rainwater from the roof. This is then cleaned and filtered before being used to flush toilets. A ground source heat pump is used to produce hot water for baths and showers, and it can also be used in summer to cool the air conditioning. This was expensive to install, but it is believed that ground source heat pumps will deliver a short payback in hotels with more than 100 bedrooms. From the range of technologies implemented at the Tamworth hotel, those that were most successful in terms of environmental and financial benefit were: Heat recovery from bathrooms. Rainwater/greywater recycling. Super insulated building and triple glazed windows. LED lighting and sustainable timber. Reduced cement/concrete. Whitbread has applied the same technologies at its new Premier Inn and Beefeater restaurant at Burgess Hill, in Sussex, which opened in November 2010.

AT THE Bedruthan Steps Hotel, at Mawgan Porth, Cornwall, sustainability is at the heart of the management philosophy as reflected in the appointment of Susie Newham, sustainability manager for this hotel and its new sister property nearby, The Scarlet. The owners practise sustainability in everything: energy and water usage are monitored three times each week, energy consumption is translated into a monthly carbon footprint calculation, and the hotel aims to reduce its carbon footprint by 10 per cent this year. Light sensors, staff vigilance and a traffic light sticker system are used to ensure lights are turned on only when needed, and that computers and other equipment are turned off (not put on stand-by) when not in use. The condensing boiler system automatically adjusts to the weather outside and is 88 per cent efficient. The mechanism which heats the water for the indoor pool simultaneously heats and dries the air; 38 refurbished solar panels heat the outside pool. A fridge heat re-capture system was installed in November 2008 which uses the waste heat expelled by fridges to heat water. Taps and showers are fitted with aerators, which reduce water consumption, and rain water harvesting from the roof of the Ocean Spa provides the water used for flushing the Spa’s toilets.

l UK HOSPITALITY BLACK BOOK 2011

The hotel aims to reduce the amount of rubbish sent to landfill by 10 per cent this year, and it lists nearly 20 categories of waste, from glass to cooking oil, which are regularly recycled, with the help of recycling companies and local charities. The company is committed to protecting the local environment, and has partnerships with Cornwall Wildlife Trust, Surfers Against Sewage, CoaST, Natural England and co2balance, through which guests are invited to offset the carbon emissions associated with their travel. These policies have broadly been carried over to the new project, The Scarlet, which opened in September 2009. In addition, the construction standards at The Scarlet reflect the same philosophy. Before construction began several slow worms, lizards and adders were rescued and moved to gardens nearby. Timber used in the construction was all accredited from sustainable sources and cement was made from recycled china clay waste. The green roof of the hotel is clad with sea thrift, which occurs naturally in Cornwall. ‘We don’t believe that a sustainable building makes a sustainable business it’s the way the people in the business work that makes the difference,’ says Susie Newham. ‘If the decisions you make don’t follow the same principles, that’s no good!’

he recent recession has damaged many hospitality businesses, particularly those that are independently owned and operated. Not only has it reduced consumer spend – and thus demand for many hotels and restaurants but banks have withdrawn funds that might, in better circumstances, have been available to grow the business into greater profitability. Or even to survive. The heart of the challenge facing the independent hotel sector lies in the fact that so many hoteliers regard their hotel not just as a business but as their lifestyle. Private hoteliers have tended to tolerate a profit performance less than 174

l UK HOSPITALITY BLACK BOOK 2011

would have been accepted by a hotel company simply because their hotel is part of an established lifestyle – their lifestyle. Provided the business enabled the owner to live comfortably, profit maximisation was not an urgent and oppressive need. The recession has changed this perception. Many private asset-owning hoteliers are beginning to see the signs of an economic attack on their business, on their way of life and on their lifestyle. If the early part of this decade, or indeed any period of growth in the last 50 years could be seen as the good life, then the current economic conditions in the corporate and leisure market are an indication that the good life is coming to an end. Those in the business still clutching to their lifestyle dream may think this is a just a temporary blip. Is this not whistling in the wind? The conditions have changed for good, and here are four reasons why:

Hotel asset value

The last two years have seen an unprecedented withdrawal of bank funding. Not a lot will change in the next two years, at least, Bank overdrafts have been more difficult, sometimes impossible, to obtain. Even when banks have traditionally lent to cover low season costs, these have now been withdrawn. Where they are available, there are onerous conditions and high interest rates. The result, is not only a hotel business that is short of cash and unable to expand or grow, but one that has a reduced asset value. So it is worth less. Not good news.

Rising costs

At the same time, owners and operators have been hit by rising costs. Wages and payroll costs are increasing annually as a result of the rise in the minimum wage which increases

wage costs throughout the organisation, not just the lowest paid. Wage costs in hotels have risen from 23.7 per cent of total revenue in 1997 to 30.5 per cent in 2009. Business rates are now on the rise. So too are heat, light and power costs – the latter now 4.5 per cent of total revenue (2.9 per cent in 2004). The result is an overall annual increase in costs which cannot be alleviated by significant increases in prices.

Sales

Return to the good times after this financial crisis is over

Not only are costs rising but reduced disposable income has cut back spend in the leisure market and cut back the corporate market. It may recover – but when? And will it be in time to help stricken business? The introduction of the budget hotel sector, with over 100,000 rooms, poses a major challenge to the traditional three-star hotel that operates at a much higher price – but does it give that much better value? Wise hoteliers are increasing their sales activities, building up their marketing databases, introducing special offers to encourage chance business, if only to maintain current sales. But without funding to improve standards and facilities, this sales activity becomes harder to attract more demanding customers.

The danger is that many hoteliers will be pinning their hopes on a return to the former good life. But bearing in mind that it will take up to ten years for the national debt to be brought under control, how realistic is this vision. Not very. And even if it does return, will those hotels already on the brink of insolvency, survive to reap its benefits? The result is that hotel asset values

will remain low. This is a gloomy scenario, but not one that cannot be tackled. The 12 levers to maximising profit, if properly implemented, will enable

businesses to maximise the profits from current sales and point the way to sales growth. This, in turn, will secure the proprietors’ expected lifestyle. The secret of the programme is that

Maximising profit 09

HOSPITALITY 2011

they are implemented through and by the hotel management team, by a democratic process with logic and common-sense being the two main vehicles of implementation.

THE 12 LEVERS TO MAXIMISING PROFIT

ANNUALLY 1. BUDGET A set of financial targets, this allows the management team to focus and, at the same time, gives the company financial direction. A budget is a financial vehicle that links all heads of departments, the senior management team, the accounts team and the bank together. Heads of department have the responsibility to keep the budgeted costs in line and they must play a significant part in achieving the sales targets by regular up-selling. This can be in the form of increasing the spend per head on food or beverage or, of course, increasing the average room rate.

QUARTERLY 2. BEVERAGE COSTING To ensure that the beverage baseline gross profit is achieved on all stock items. Turnover in beverage sales in a hotel can vary from £150,000 to £1m plus – yet many hotels have a cost which is 10 per cent too high. A difference of 10 per cent on £1m would add £100,000 to the bottom line. Put another way, that hotel could generate a £100,000 loan merely the cost of learning how beverage costings work. Cheap at the price! 3. FOOD COSTING A tool to ensure the correct gross profit is achieved from each food dish. Again, like beverage cost controls, a difference of 10 per cent on food cost can generate up to £100,000 plus on the bottom line. My experience is that food production teams have very little knowledge of correct food costings – yet, when asked, they always say how well they understand it.

MONTHLY 4. Profit and loss To be able to see actual achieved figures against budget on a monthly basis. To review a profit and loss monthly account will tell the management team - which cost centres are out of line. Knowing this will immediately focus minds on making corrections before the year-end rather than later, when it is too late. Reviewing monthly sales revenues can tell management when to take action when targets are not being achieved. Finally, monthly profit and loss accounts also give very clear trend indicators. 5. Beverage stock-take Carried out each month end, this will show margins being achieved and any surplus stock movement. Most importantly, these figures at the month-end will primarily tell the management team whether each bottle of beverage sold is achieving its potential profit margin. Secondly the stock-take will highlight if there is a surplus or deficit in the figures. A deficit is very difficult to find otherwise. UK HOSPITALITY BLACK BOOK 2011 l

175

2011

12 levers to maximising profit

MONTHLY continued from previous page 6. Food stock-take Carried out monthly, this shows the gross profit achieved; it is also a re-check to control stock movements and stock levels. This vehicle allows the team to identify if their stock holding is too high. Chefs will notoriously claim that the stock levels are right. In my experience stock levels are typically between £2,500 and £4,000 too high. Excessive stock means too much stock is used in food preparation; it also means too many perishable items are being written off. The stock-take will also show individual prices of all food items. This helps the team to monitor price changes – something to bear in-mind when suppliers forget to inform customers of price increases!

WEEKLY 7. Weekly sales forecast Carried out midweek in the previous week, with room, food, beverage and room hire sales projections over a seven day period, commencing the following Monday of forecast day. The big advantage in weekly sales forecast, is that by this method the wage cost can be kept in line. There is no other vehicle I know that can achieve this objective. With the wage cost being the single highest cost in the hotel operation, it makes good sense to keep this under control on a weekly basis, by using this forecast method. 8. Weekly wage forecast Wage forecast against sales forecast, for the same seven-day period. This ensures that the unit’s major cost centre is controlled. 9. Sleeper ratio Identifies the number of residents from which the number of breakfasts to be served can be determined. It is a great assistance for forecasting dinner covers and is a big help in wage cost control.

DAILY 10. Average room rate A financial sales target set to help reception and sales personnel to achieve budgeted room revenue. 11. Daily analysis sheet Daily and accumulative sales figures identify sales trends each day. This gives the information to take sales advice as required. Action then becomes procedure-led instead of analysis-led. 12. Flash food cost An excellent analysis showing daily and accumulative actual food purchases against food sales (net of VAT). This will allow management to identify food costs and the challenges during the month as against month-end. The flash does not include stock adjustments.

The current state of skills Despite the many changes in the economic environment, our State of the Nation 2010 report, found that the skills needs and drivers for the sector remain unchanged. As Table 1 shows, customer service, craft (technical) skills, and management skills all rank highly on employersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; priority lists. With 65 per cent of sector businesses highlighting customer service as an area for improvement, and the 2010 Nations Brand Index ranking the UK as 13th out of 50 countries for its â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;welcomeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; there is clearly work to be done to prepare staff to welcome the world in 2012 and beyond. The need is most acute among front-line staff (such as waiting and bar staff) and customer service staff (e.g. receptionists) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; see Figure 1 for more details. People 1st is supporting businesses in improving service skills through the development and UK launch of the WorldHost suite of programmes, which were used to train 39,000 tourism staff and volunteers in British Columbia for the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics. The programme is made up of four short customer service courses that prepare employees to deliver world-class service for visitors from the UK and abroad, including those with disabilities â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a huge market which will become even more important in the lead up to the Paralympics. More information on these programmes is available at worldhost.uk.com. The National Skills Academy for Hospitality, established by People 1st to benchmark excellence in hospitality training, also offers two customer service programmes - the World Class Customer Service Professionals programme, for frontline employees, and the World Class Customer Service Coach programme, for supervisors and managers â&#x20AC;&#x201C; which lead to nationallyrecognised qualifications.

skills need improvement, and varying requirements across different roles (see figure 2), People 1st is also looking at ways in which continuous professional development (CPD) can be provided for managers. The Women 1st initiative is one of the ways in which it is doing this. Despite the fact that 56 per cent of the industryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s workforce is female, only six per cent of senior board level

directors are women. Women 1st aims to address this through a CPD programme including six one-day sessions, one-to-one mentoring with the sectorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s highest performers, and networking events with inspirational speakers. Over 300 women are currently benefitting from the programme, and more information is available at people1st.co.uk/women1st.

Chef skills It is estimated that over 60,000 additional chefs will be needed in the seven years leading up to 2017, but 30 per cent of businesses recruiting chefs or cooks in the past year have found vacancies difficult to fill. Of these businesses, 32 per cent cite a lack of applicants with the required skills as a primary factor, as Table 2 shows. To help address the need for skilled chefs, People 1st worked with City & Guilds to develop the Professional Cookery Diploma â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a full-time college qualification that is much more practical than the current NVQ, with all learners following the same curriculum and gaining a basic grounding in culinary techniques across all sections of the kitchen. The number of colleges offering the qualification has more than doubled over the past year, and 8,000 of the total 15,000 chef students across the UK are now undertaking the programme. Businesses have reported that recruiting Professional Cookery Diploma graduates has reduced their training costs by up to ÂŁ5,000 per chef in some cases, and it is hoped that the qualification will ultimately replace the NVQ as the sole full-time qualification for chefs.

For chefs already in the workplace, skills gaps cover more than just craft skills (see Figure 3). Providing a wider range of training can also make good business sense for employers. Analysis of the Labour Force Survey (2009) suggests that chefs working for employers who offer education and training are likely to stay longer than those working for employers who do not offer such opportunities (6.5 years compared to 4.4 years). One way in which People 1st is supporting this is through the Women 1st Female Chefsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Development Programme, which develops, designs and delivers bespoke chef training for women, helping them to move from the areas that they currently work in to more skilled positions. More information is available at people1st. co.uk/women1st Information, advice and guidance on progression routes for both chefs and managers is also available through uksp.co.uk â&#x20AC;&#x201C; People 1stâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s website for careers, job opportunities, qualifications, employers, colleges and funding in the sector. Creating work-ready entrants For entry-level and customer-facing jobs, the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;right attitudeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; is ranked as one of the main skills lacking outside

of customer service. To help address this, People 1st has developed a preemployment training programme - Employment 1st â&#x20AC;&#x201C; which reflects the skills, knowledge and behaviour that employers expect from their staff. The programme covers 13 entry-level jobs, including chef, barista, leisure and theme park attendant and conference/ exhibition manager, and leads to a nationally recognised qualification. All course graduates are added to the Marketplace feature on uksp. co.uk, where employers will be able to view their CVs and identify suitable candidates to fill job vacancies. Over 1,000 people have been through the programme to date, and more information is available at people1st.co.uk.employment1st Making the most of business investment in skills Encouragingly, the State of the Nation 2010 report found that 67 per cent of sector employers provide staff training â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a steady rise from 61 percent in 2005 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; while 59 per cent of businesses maintained the same level of training throughout the recession, with 14 per cent undertaking more. In addition, the National Employer Skills Survey 2009 showed that hospitality and tourism

businesses are among the biggest spenders in terms of training, spending ÂŁ2,575 per employee, compared to an average of ÂŁ1,725 across the economy. People 1st is working with businesses to ensure that they get the most out of this investment by helping them to understand how they can map their in-house training to qualifications, which could enable them to access government funding to support their training. Following feedback from employers which revealed that, with over 400 sector-related qualifications, they were confused about what was available, People 1st has created clear development routes and rationalised the qualifications on offer for the sector. This work has also helped to save wasted public expenditure - around ÂŁ12.5m in funding â&#x20AC;&#x201C; by removing qualifications that are no longer valued by employers. People 1stâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s research team has also developed a training needs analysis tool, which enables businesses to survey the current skill levels of their staff, and indicate areas for improvement, through online skills assessments. This has already been utilised by companies such as Ramada Jarvis Hotels, allowing them to target their training spend more effectively. UK HOSPITALITY BLACK BOOK 2011

Training

State of the Nation 2010 also revealed that 51 percent of employers have moved more of their training in-house in the past year, and People 1st is helping to support this through its training division. Stonebow has developed a reputation for delivering the best ‘Train the Trainer’ programmes nationwide - its Group Training Certificate course (formerly TS2) concentrates on the design and delivery of effective and interactive training sessions to groups of people, while the Practical Training Certificate course (formerly TS1) helps people to deliver effective practical training to individuals and small groups. Supporting work-based learning While the government agenda of dealing with the spending deficit means that there is uncertainty around how skills will be funded in the future, there is a clear shift of focus to supporting work-based learning initiatives, such as apprenticeships. It was therefore timely that People 1st launched a new apprenticeship for hospitality and

182

catering in August 2010. The new apprenticeship has been extended to 18 specialist areas to accommodate the diverse and specific needs of the industry, including Asian and Oriental cuisine, patisserie and confectionery, as well as kitchen services which are suitable for branded high street restaurants, branded contract catering outlets and licensed retail operations that need to focus on brand standards and kitchen control. The new apprenticeships also offer businesses more flexibility in how they can be delivered. They can be embedded within an organisation’s

in-house training scheme, whilst apprentices can progress learning in their own time or location, some of which could be through online delivery of training and assessment. More information on this is available at people1st.co.uk/research As we enter a ‘golden decade of sporting events’, an exciting, and critical time for UK hospitality and tourism - People 1st will continue to assess the skills priorities and support businesses to meet the challenges ahead. Ultimately, the judge of People 1st’s success will be employers themselves.

Hospitality Skills

SKILLS: FOCUSING ON THREE AREAS Right: Chefs – or rather the shortage of them – is a key priority of the Hospitality Skills Academy. Major companies – here Aramark, Vacherin and Compass (with its Junior Chef Academy) – look to interest youngsters in kitchen skills.

he National Skills Academy for Hospitality has been in existence for three years. Its primary aim is to identify, endorse and promote qualifications and learning opportunities in the hospitality and leisure industry, which can take place in universities, colleges of further education, employer businesses and hospitality schools. In achieving this aim, the academy was keen to develop a brand which is universally trusted by learners, employers, parents and other career influencers and could become the vehicle for marketing programmes which it endorses. It also wanted to introduce a benchmark scheme that defined the standards of excellence. At the outset, it focused on three key areas as being the most critical for employers and for the industry generally: ■ Practical skills - particularly chefs ■ Management and leadership ■ Customer service All its work remains focused on these areas. ■ Advanced Apprenticeships – pioneered by Living Ventures, this scheme offers newcomers to the industry the opportunity to develop

the skills needed to run a pub, restaurant or bar. ■ Junior Chefs’ Academy – a 10-week programme run by Compass Group for 11-16 year olds to learn basic cookery skills ■ Professional Cookery Diploma – a qualification that combines the breadth and depth of skills and knowledge that employers have been demanding, along with a series of practical end-tests ■ Chef Masterclasses – offered by some of the UK’s top chefs for those

looking to top up their skills. ■ Management Masterclasses – allowing managers and leaders to learn from the best. ■ Customer Service –- the academy has developed a world-class customer service programme based on extensive research carried out by People 1st. ■ Hospitality Benchmark – a unique service for mystery visits focusing on what customers really think of their experience – allowing operators to train staff to deliver their specific needs. ■ Capacity management – to achieve profit and growth in an increasingly competitive market requires new levels of standardised service, efficiency and value. Chefs Chefs, or the lack of skilled chefs, remain the biggest skill shortage, but much work has been done to identify not only the finest colleges but the future pipeline talent programmes. Colleges In 2010, the academy accredited 13 colleges across England which are accredited to deliver the Professional Cookery Diploma to Levels 1, 2 and 3. In all, 1,936 Academy young chefs will graduate in summer 2011 to add to the 752 who graduated in 2010.

Customer service Excellent customer service has never been more important. The academy has identified a suite of solutions to support employers in this area.

Hospitality benchmark This is a service that not only benchmarks service standards but provides marketing and PR material. Over 1,200 sites have now been visited with many businesses benefiting. “We are using the Hospitality Benchmark programme in our Maison Blanc operation and it has certainly been a key component in helping to grow the sales and profitability of the business. It also provides invaluable guest insight” says Simon Wilkinson, chief operating officer. World-Class customer service training The academy has 44 licensed facilitators who have guided 1,500 graduates through the world class Customer Service Professional and Coach programme, which can be used by SMEs, as well as large companies, as it can be delivered in-house. “We all want to deliver world-class customer service for every guest,” says Charles Prew, chief executive of Barcelo Hotels. “This exciting programme develops the knowledge, skills, efficiencies and confidence to make this possible. Regardless of whether your hospitality business is big or small, this will raise your game and delivery to the top and bottom line. We want it for all our team members and management.” Engagement Team engagement is critical if a business aspires to deliver excellent customer experiences and www. smilesofbritain.co.uk, the campaign for excellent customer service, is a free tool that has already benefited a range of businesses. The first Smiles of Britain finalists and winner were also celebrated back in January 2009 with Peter Vaughan, chef proprietor and a member of the Academy of Culinary Arts delighting a panel of judges to come out on top. The next winner will be declared in March 2011.

Management and leadership The Disney Institute delivered seminars in London to 1,350 delegates from over 220 companies in 2010 and a ground-breaking webcast on behalf of the academy was established in January. This was seen by an audience of 250 in England, France and Holland. Two groups have also enjoyed executive trips to Disney Institute, Orlando and trips will continue to run in May and October 2011. “The response throughout the business has been overwhelming and it has brought huge clarity to the business. So thank you. The learning from Disney will be invaluable,” says Sue Buckley, Punch Taverns.

Academy

Franklin Covey’s Seven Habits of Highly Effective People The academy is able to offer the Seven Habits of Highly Effective People programme, through its approved facilitator, Karen Skingley. The programme is offered at a highly competitive price at its training centre in Coventry. “Too many of the ‘self-help’ books are sound-bite, catch-phrase, shallow or zealot rhetoric,” says Tony Hughes, non-executive director of The Restaurant Group. “The Seven Habits is a common sense, systematic approach to becoming effective as an individual and as a team player.” The academy’s Principles in Capacity Management programmes, developed with the support of Brian Sill of Deterministics, provides managers with an insight into the science of maximising throughput and customer experiences. In addition to these programmes, the academy has also added an e-learning facility as well as an innovative recruitment academy to its growing list of offerings.

Recruitment

MEETING THE CHALLENGE OF RECRUITMENT Multi-skilling is key “I don’t believe you can be truly productive unless you’ve tackled multi-skilling. We’ve introduced multi-skilling in the bar and lounge areas, ordering and all ground floor activities, so everyone can be switched from one section to the other. It’s taken time to achieve and

As the economy pulls out of recession, the hospitality industry is once again recruiting. Across the sector 45 per cent of employers recruited new staff in the 12 months to March 2010. But, despite increasing numbers on the job market, 47,000 vacancies remained unfilled, David Battersby, managing director of Hospitality and Leisure Manpower, gives some advice.

n an industry which has traditionally relied heavily on young people, an ageing workforce across the UK is giving employers in the hospitality industry an additional challenge. Some positions remain particularly difficult to fill. Almost a third of those recruiting chefs in 2009 reported difficulties. Equally worrying is the high rate of churn amongst hospitality employees. In 2009, even at the height of the recession, labour turnover in the sector stood at 31 per cent the highest of all sectors of the economy. As the job market picks up good staff, more than most, will leave for more attractive openings. The cost of this turnover is high, with some 600,000 people being recruited each year to fill vacancies – around one person every 60 seconds. The cost? On average, £1,200. So labour turnover alone is costing the hospitality industry 186

l UK HOSPITALITY BLACK BOOK 2011

well over £1bn each year. How best to respond to the challenge? When it comes to filling a vacancy it makes sense to stop for a moment: rethink, cast the net more widely and then compete. Be ahead of the game, and stay ahead of the game. The worst thing for any buyer is to be under pressure: to be forced to make a quick distress purchase decision without having time to investigate fully all the possibilities. Recruiting as part of planned expansion is not a problem, but replacing key employees who leave at short notice most certainly is. First of all, Rethink. Do you need to fill the vacancy? Can you reorganise the work and eliminate the position, or make it more interesting? Can you rethink some of your work processes to increase efficiency, improve service levels and increase productivity? Could existing members of staff be trained to cover the work and be more flexible? With employees who are missioncritical take some precautions and negotiate a longer notice period. Identify and groom potential replacements, and prepare a contingency plan to provide temporary cover whilst a replacement can be found. Be a regular “talent scout”: keep a constant look out for potential candidates. When you spot them, keep a track on them and be ready with your offer should the need arise.

it demands good training but it’s very effective and it has an added bonus. It encourages staff to gain an insight into other departments. They work better. They are better motivated and are more willing to help when the pressure builds.” Hotel Director, Devon

Cast the net more widely. Widen your recruitment pool. Establish an employee referral scheme with rewards for recommending suitable candidates who then stay. Talk to your customers and clients. Put a card in local newsagents and on the notice board of community groups in local community halls. Contact larger companies who are downsizing and ask them to recommend employees. Look in areas where markets are depressed. You could also adopt local schools and colleges. Provide job tasters, trial shifts, scholarships, internships, and work experience opportunities to establish your company identity and raise its profile. Be more flexible in the hours, days of week or times of the year when local people might work for you. Finally Compete. Promote an attractive and competitive employment package. Set out a clear description of the job, the skills and attributes required, along with the benefits you can offer. Ensure that any recruitment advertisement is designed to attract the maximum number of replies from only the type of people you have specified. Target your candidates. Attract the right people by using the media, social media and online recruitment websites – including your own. The way you describe a position can make a big difference to the interest it attracts. You need to understand what

BLACK BOOK HOSPITALITY 2011

Selection First, check for authenticity. Sadly, it’s all too common to find applicants who have lied in their CVs. The most frequent inaccuracies are about previous experience, inflated qualifications, incorrect salary and achievements. Moreover, increasing numbers are providing bogus degrees and certificates obtained from disreputable agencies on the internet and elsewhere. There are many organisations such as CV Check who you might well consider using for key positions. Asking candidates to submit samples of their work can also be helpful, as can a conversation on the phone, arranging some practical skills tests, trainability tests or even psychometric tests to augment a face-to-face interview. When you interview, remember to ensure that the candidate is seen by more than one member of your team to avoid bias, stereotyping or misconceptions. Equally avoid snap decisions. Sleep on it, and, if unsure, phone them, or invite them for a second interview – it’s often surprising how different they might appear or come across. And before you make a job offer make sure it is conditional on the receipt of satisfactory references, and a check to ensure there is hard documentary evidence of a legal right

your target candidates are seeking, and show how the position you are offering provides it, whether it’s pay, hours, promotion prospects, benefits, the challenge of the job or your workplace culture. You can also become publicly recognised as one of this industry’s good or best employers through accreditation, certification and website listing under the Excellence Through People scheme. All this will go a long way to ensuring you have a competent and stable workforce.

How we made recruits feel part of the team By Paul Milsom Managing director Milsom Hotels In 2009. our flagship hotel – Le Talbooth – re-opened after major investment. We also opened a 15room hotel and 100 seat restaurant in Suffolk – Kesgrave Hall. These were huge challenges in their own right but added to this, 100 full- and part-time staff were also recruited, almost overnight. How could we make them all feel part of the team? How could we get them enthusing about what we do? How could we make sure that they had the right skills when we opened our doors for the first time? For us the solution has been to develop and implement a comprehensive induction programme. Each and every new employee has the opportunity to attend no matter what job they do or which property they work in. During the three hours, new recruits hear about each of our five properties, and get a feel for what we are all about. We show a slideshow of photographs of the properties and key people in the group. We have also driven forward the concept of cross-selling throughout

the group so it is key that we get a mix of recruits from each site at each induction. The success of this programme has spurred us on to develop the team building aspect even further and to introduce a second phase to develop job skills as well. We inducted 61 new members of staff with a further 44 in the following month or so. The good feeling across the group was noticeable and instead of talking to customers about the weather, the team can now be seen confidently and enthusiastically crossselling other parts of the operation. That means more sales. Staff retention has also improved (in just one quarter April - June only 4.28 per cent left compared with 10 per cent in the same quarter the previous year). We have already saved about £4,000 in a quarter. A recent questionnaire showed that 92 per cent of those asked, agreed or strongly agreed that the induction they had received had given them a positive image of the company, that it helped them become a more valuable and capable employee and that they began their new role feeling well motivated.

to work and remain in the United Kingdom. Induction Good induction is more critical to retaining good staff than many employers recognise. More recruits leave in the first few weeks of employment than at any other time, and at a cost which cannot be ignored. The first few days in a new job are when recruits feel at their most vulnerable. Induction is your chance to make a positive impact on a new member of staff. It will lay the foundations for building successful, productive, and long term relationships. Preventing early leavers is a top priority. A new employee will need inducting into your organisation as well as the people in it, and into the job they are to undertake. It can also be an integral part of a job trial. A well planned induction will help the new member of staff gain a clear understanding from the outset of the standards of

188

l UK HOSPITALITY BLACK BOOK 2011

performance you expect, provide any training necessary to achieve them, and record their achievements. Someone – preferably an experienced member of staff who is not a manager – should become their ‘Buddy’, to make sure the new employee has someone to turn to and is not left to flounder. Recruits have questions they need to ask. In many cases they might not wish to ask their boss. They are also more likely to believe something told to them by a trusted colleague. Induction should include a tour of the premises and some immediate training in items such as first aid, safety, hygiene and security. Some hotels, for example, encourage staff to stay overnight to familiarise themselves with the hotel’s style and standards. During this period of induction recruits should also be given ample opportunities to ask questions about pay, and service charge payments should be fully explained. The benefits can be priceless. Customers gain from increased levels

of service and consistent standards; as a result, they will show a real desire to return. Staff gain increased confidence, motivation and a real pride in a job well done. Moreover, employers spend less time correcting problems, dealing with complaints and benefit from increased customer footfall and spend. Looking Ahead Looking ahead the 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games will present particular challenges if the legacy they present for visitor economy in all parts of the country is to be realised. Positioning the UK as a truly world class destination, and improving the quality of our welcome — particularly to those with disabilities — will be critical if visitors are to be attracted to return. During the run up to the 2012 Games well planned recruitment, careful selection and effective induction of employees will do much to achieve these ambitions.

Productivity

HELPING STAFF WORK SMARTER, NOT HARDER Helping staff work smarter, not harder, must be the aim of every business, yet too few operators take steps to ensure that their staff productivity is improved - and measured. David Battersby, managing director of Hospitality and Leisure Manpower, says that the industry’s Best Practice Forum has helped businesses raise staff productivity, many with impressive results.

Increasing labour productivity TOP 10 TIPS • Tightly define customer needs. • Rethink work organisation and job design. • Simplify all work processes. • Invest in technology. • Forecast the daily demand for services. • Improve the accuracy of work scheduling and rostering.

o improve competitiveness, revenue streams need to be increased and operating costs cut through higher productivity, so releasing much needed funding to be invested in product quality. Yet one of the main criticisms of the tourism industry has been that it suffers from particularly low levels of productivity. Productivity in the tourism industries of the USA, France and Germany have historically been twice those of the UK tourism industry. To address these challenges the Best Practice Forum – a strategic alliance between ten of the industry’s leading employer associations, VisitBritain and other industry partners – was created by the British Hospitality Association. It was launched in 2001 with initial government funding, as one of 15 industry forums with the aim of driving up productivity, quality and profitability through the exchange of best practice. Some 68,000 establishments are currently within membership of the Forum’s partner organisations. The majority are smaller businesses employing, in total, around one million staff. What the Forum has achieved From the outset the hospitality Best Practice Forum has been taking forward a three-part Agenda for Action: Research to identify, disseminate and transfer best practice: Improving performance through the

l UK HOSPITALITY BLACK BOOK 2011

• Employ, motivate and supervise a multi-skilled workforce. • Encourage creativity, flexible staffing arrangements and flexitime working to match demand. • Outsource non-core activities. • Link pay to performance. better deployment of skills: Recognising Achievement: Results to date have been impressive. With backing and support from many different government agencies the Forum has worked with some 5,650 businesses in the tourism, hospitality and leisure sector. Over 14,750 benchmarking reports have been completed, 58,000 hours of business coaching and training has been provided and 97 per cent satisfaction levels achieved.

What is best practice? Those processes and procedures that have been shown, by example, or by demonstration, to produce superior results in terms of operational efficiency, greater productivity or higher profits. They can, and need to be adapted to fit a particular organisations needs and state of development.

The average profit improvement achieved per business has been in excess of over 52 per cent: the revenue generated from every £1 spent on labour has increased from £4.93 to £7.10 – amounting to over £178m to date: a return of around £16 for every £1 invested by the public and private sector. Moreover, whilst UK productivity still lags behind our international competitors (22 per cent below the USA, 16 per cent below France and 17 per cent below Germany) recent work by the Office of National Statistics indicates that increases in the productivity of the tourism sector have outstripped the service sector, and the economy as a whole over the last ten years. Between 1998 and 2007 year-on-year productivity growth in tourism and leisure-related industries grew by an average of 2.3 per cent, compared with 1.8 per cent in the service sector, and 1.9 per cent in the economy as a whole.

Cost or investment?

Housekeeping costs: benefits of accurate forecasting

Removing the least pleasant aspects of the work is an aspect of good people management. This may mean investing in labour saving equipment or replacing old equipment with new. Is this a cost or an investment? Undoubtedly it’s an investment if it speeds up the way the job can be done, probably to a higher standard. The hospitality industry is labour-intensive. The fewer staff it requires, the more productive it is. The bonus is that the remaining staff will be more contented.

One hotel group introduced an internet-based labour scheduling system provided by EProductive to secure significant improvements in labour productivity and reduce the costs of housekeeping staff. Action was taken dramatically to improve the accuracy of business forecasting on a daily basis. By using the latest information technology, staff scheduling and rostering was simplified, and more flexible working arrangements introduced.The cost of implementing these new

How businesses can benefit These are impressive results but what practical steps can a business take to become even more productive? Research suggests that better productivity (that is, more output for correspondingly less input) is powered by five key drivers:

However, there normally needs to be some investment in staff training, typically in sales and marketing expenditure, including point-of-sale merchandising. Increasing customer spend often depends on upselling products and services so that existing customers are encouraged to buy more, or to buy more expensive items on which there are higher profit margins.

Increasing customer spend Building customer volume Controlling material costs Controlling labour costs Improving the way we work Whilst low productivity in the sector can be attributed to a lack of capital investment and little use of new technology, the research suggests that the greatest impact on levels of productivity rests with improved management and supervision of the workforce. Increasing customer spend Increasing customer spend, while maintaining current staff levels, will make a significant contribution to the bottom line primarily because it involves little or no additional cost.

Building customer volume Large companies are adept at building customer volume and use a wide variety of sales and marketing tools, including loyalty schemes, advertising, sales promotion techniques and, increasingly, electronic and web-based marketing including social media. These activities demand expertise and, frequently, the use of specialist staff or agencies. Small and medium sized businesses may rely heavily on wordof-mouth advertising. This technique can be even more effective than any other; although its impact will not be so immediate, it may have more permanent benefits.

Productivity

arrangements has been recovered within less than a year. Benefits have included: Annual year-on-year savings in staff costs of £13,100 – a reduction of 15.2 per cent in labour costs. Number of rooms cleaned per productive hour has increased from 1.6 to two. Better informed managers are no longer ‘fire fighting’. Productivity gains of more than five per cent were achieved within 24 weeks. www.eproductive.com

Controlling material costs Material costs (that is, all costs other than labour) will represent in the region of 70 per cent of the total costs of most businesses in the industry. These costs include rent and rates, food and beverage, energy, maintenance, laundry, equipment rental, print and stationery. Controlling these items better may yield considerable savings for some businesses: examining energy usage, in particular, is especially beneficial. At the same time, taking advantage of group buying schemes (for example, through purchasing consortia) can be highly cost-efficient. However, this is an area in which many operators believe that their control procedures are totally effective; but without benchmarking, they cannot check this and may be missing out on these savings.

How profits can be increased The Best Practice Forum’s Profit Through Productivity programme of business improvement has resulted in significant results: Fenton Hill Farm Cottages, Northumberland – sales up by £3,000 in three months Bamburgh Castle, Northumberland – sales up by £118,000

is done by the owners themselves. In the hotel industry, the labour cost ratio has been rising steadily in the last few years – from 23.7 per cent in 1998 to over 32 per cent today. In some cases, labour costs are as high as 35 per cent. The need to control them is one of the most important objectives of any business. It is often assumed that further labour cost increases are inevitable. They certainly are if no action is taken to control them. However, action can be taken – through better job scheduling, better induction and training (to reduce staff turnover), the introduction of multi-skilling and the employment of more skilled human resources management generally. Slicing a couple of percentage points off these costs, while maintaining revenue and customer service standards, will bring about savings that go straight to the bottom line. Improving the way we work Businesses tend to grow on an ad hoc basis and their methods of work grow in the same way, without examining closely how new ways of

working can improve performance and productivity. Because work in a service industry is often less formalised than in manufacturing, it is also commonly assumed that methods of work cannot be improved. In manufacturing, however, production lines are highly systemised and structured; can some of the techniques used in manufacturing be adapted to tourism, hospitality or leisure? Certainly, staff and systems have to be flexible to meet the changing needs of customers and changing levels of demand, which make it difficult to lay down rigid patterns of work, but this does not mean that service industries cannot learn from manufacturing. The most important objective is to eliminate waste – in material costs, in labour costs and in effort: Doing too much Waiting Transporting Too much inflexibility in the approach to work Unnecessary stocks Unnecessary actions Defects

Any business that positively, and continually, addresses these areas will achieve results that increase productivity, reduce costs and boost profits. Looking ahead As the economy strengthens the Best Practice Forum will continue to seek new opportunities to help employers, educators and support agencies identify, develop and share best practice. Plans are already in hand to update the earlier research into international best practice conducted by the University of Surrey, and the Forum will be actively looking for ways to help employers maximise the potential of the London 2012 Games.

THE A-Z OF NEW LEGISLATION

ere’s a run down of the major items of legislation that were introduced in 2010.

ir conditioning

Air conditioning systems with an effective rated output over 12kW and up to 250kW must now have been given a compulsory inspection by an accredited Energy Assessor, though those installed after 2008 have more time. www.communities.gov.uk

usiness Rates

New rateable values took effect in April. In England, the Uniform Business Rate was 41.4p in the £ (if properties have a total RV of £18,000 or more - £25,000 in London) with a transitional relief cap on increases (compared with 20092010) of 10.9 per cent after inflation. To pay for Crossrail, an extra 2p was added on rateable values of £55,000 or more in Greater London and an additional 0.4p on all City of London properties. The Scottish UBR was also 41.4p on rateable values of more than £35,000 but there was no Scottish transitional relief, nor was there in Wales where the UBR was 40.9p on rateable values greater than £7,800.

arbon Reduction Commitment

Large users of energy should have registered under the government’s Carbon Reduction Scheme. Businesses with half hourly meters in any of their premises and with a total annual energy consumption of more than 3,000 megawatt hours (around £500,000 annually) must register as a participant in the CRC scheme. There is a £950 charge.

igital Economy Act

The Act is intended to reduce illegal downloading by using measures such as disconnecting or reducing 194

l UK HOSPITALITY BLACK BOOK 2011

bandwidth for offenders. However, the implications of this for the hotel industry is that hotels could have their internet access disconnected if guests illegally download material in their rooms. A judicial review is currently underway and the Act will not be introduced until 2012.

quality Act

The Equality Act which came into force on October 1, mainly tidies up existing legislation but it also fills in some gaps in the protection awarded to certain groups – for example, employers are currently potentially liable for harassment of employees by third parties (eg: guests) on grounds of sex but the Act extends this to cover harassment on grounds of age, disability, gender reassignment, race, religion or belief or sexual orientation. The same change applies to employees who to complain of offensive behaviour, even if it not directed at them In addition, questions about employee disabilities are not now allowed. ACAS has issued guidance notes – www.acas.org.uk

mmigration

From April 2011, there will be a permanent limit on migration to the UK with a limit of 32,600 for skilled workers from outside the EU. In theory, this category includes skilled chefs but one of the conditions of entry is that entrants should be at graduate level which will disbar most chef applicants.

icensing

In England and Wales, a ban was introduced on any ‘irresponsible promotions’ of alcohol (defined in terms of risk of crime, prejudice to public safety, disorder, public nuisance or harm to children). This covers unlimited or unspecified quantities offered free

or for a fixed or discounted price, but promotions/discounts linked to a table meal are exempt. Mandatory conditions applying to all premises licenses and club premises licenses (which might be repealed in future) mean that licence holders must ensure that an age verification policy applies to their premises. Anyone who appears to be under 18 must produce, on request and before being served, identification bearing their photograph, date of birth and holographic mark. Passports, photocard driver’s licences and cards issued by local verified PASS schemes are acceptable. And still wine in a 125ml glass, beer and cider in a half pint glass, and spirits in 25 or 35ml measures must be made available. Customers must be made aware of the availability of these smaller measures by means of drinks menus or by getting staff to give information when customers order drinks. In Scotland, the Alcohol etc (Scotland) Bill has passed all its stages with a separate consultation underway on the detail of the Social Responsibility Levy but no minimum pricing per unit of alcohol. Every premises will have to operate an age verification policy for purchasers of alcohol who appear to be under 25 (in England and Wales it’s under 18 – see above). Licensing boards will be able to impose standard conditions on all premises in their area.

ational Minimum Wage

NMW rates increased on 1 October with the hourly rate (now starting at 21 instead of 22) rising to £5.93 per hour and the development rate (for 18-20 years olds) rising to £4.92 per hour. The 16 and 17-year-old rate is now £3.64 and there was a new minimum rate of £2.50 for those apprentices under 19 (and those aged over 19 if they are in the first year of their apprenticeship). The daily accommodation rate rose to £4.61 (or £32.27 a week).

A long-running copyright dispute with PPL on the playing of music in public areas in pubs, bars, restaurants and hotels, saw the British Beer and Pub Association and the British Hospitality Association secure a victory that was estimated to save the industry £5m a year with up to £20m owed in refunds. The dispute began when Phonographic Performance Ltd (PPL) raised tariffs for playing music in bars, hotels, restaurants and pubs by up to 40.3 per cent in 2005/06. A Tribunal decision ruled in favour of the two organisations on almost every single issue at stake, with overall charges to be cut by a half. The BBPA and BHA pressed strongly for full refunds for all those who had to pay over the odds since 2005 to play music. The Tribunal agreed and has ordered PPL to make repayments. The Tribunal did not award interest and did not require repayments to those PPL licensees that are owed less than £50 in total. By November, over 10,000 businesses had still to claim a refund.

ood Hygiene Rating Scheme

Local authority enforcement officers are responsible for inspecting food businesses to ensure that they meet the legal requirements on food hygiene. Under food hygiene rating schemes, each food outlet is given a hygiene rating or hygiene score that reflects the inspection findings and may display this in their premises where consumers can see it. Scores are also available via websites where consumers can see the scores for all the businesses in the local area. By November 2010, more than 200 local authorities across the UK had food hygiene rating schemes in place. These schemes vary in their design and the way that they are operated. Following a public consultation, the Food Standards Agency agreed a six-tier national food hygiene rating scheme in England, Wales and Northern Ireland; a two-tier

Legal

PPL

scheme will continue in Scotland in line with the prevailing views of stakeholders there. A steering group has been established to oversee development of the six-tier national scheme and to ensure commonality of approach with the twotier scheme continuing in Scotland.

With the rise in VAT to 20 per cent, smaller businesses using the flat rate scheme will also have higher VAT rates: 10.5 per cent for hotels, 12.5 per cent for restaurants and 6.5 per cent for pubs.

This is looking ahead – to 2012 – when large employers (ie: those with over 50,000 employees) will have to begin introducing new pension arrangements for all their staff, unless particular members opt-out. Staff need to have been in employment for 12 weeks before enrolment. Smaller employers, depending on their size, will have until 2016. The scheme will be introduced in stages. Between October 2012 and September 2016, the total contribution level will be two per cent with a minimum of one per cent coming from the employee. From October 2017, the total contribution will rise to eight per cent, with a minimum of three per cent coming from the employee. In an industry employing 2.4m, the scheme is likely to increase payroll costs by between 1-2.5 per cent of total earnings when fully implemented.

Free tap water has to be provided to customers where ‘reasonably available’.

raining

Businesses with more than 250 employees are now subject to a new right for staff with at least six months service to request unpaid time off work for study or training, provided it is aimed at improving effectiveness at work and performance of the business.

VAT

The rate of VAT, reduced in 2009, went back up from 15 per cent to 17.5 per cent in 2010 and increased again to 20 per cent on January 4 2011. VAT-registered businesses with an annual turnover of £100,000 or more (excluding VAT) and all those newly registered for VAT now have to submit VAT returns on line and pay any VAT electronically.

n January 2009, the Food Standards Agency called together representatives of large catering businesses and trade associations to discuss a proposal for calorie labelling on menus in hospitality businesses. This was part of the implementation of the code of practice published by the previous government as a follow-up to the Cabinet Office report Food Matters. The FSA proposed that calorie labelling on menus would be a voluntary scheme and that, to

demonstrate leadership within the industry, it asked food service businesses to volunteer to be part of a pilot scheme to run for several months in the summer of 2009. At the same time an advisory group was set up to feed views back to the Agency as the scheme developed. In fact, many operators were in favour of providing nutritional information to consumers and much work had already been undertaken. For example, every contract caterer provides healthy option dishes in the workplace, education and healthcare sectors. All of these dishes are clearly signposted to customers. Commercial restaurants also provide salads, fish and lighter dishes on their menus in an attempt to attract the broadest customer base and give the widest possible choice. In addition to this, all major contract caterers embarked on a salt, sugar and fat reduction programme some years ago and have reduced their use of these items often in conjunction with their food suppliers and manufacturers. This is a continuing programme. This has been very worthwhile for the businesses involved and, together with the support given to the Healthy Living Award in Scotland which is in its fourth year, there is no doubt that progress is being made (The advantage of the Healthy Living Award is that it includes changes in cooking methods, improved training for staff and obtaining information from suppliers on the nutritional content of food to aid procurement). There has also been an expansion into healthy eating with a scheme in Wales called Healthy Option Award and a large number of local authorities throughout England are running their own schemes. What does all this activity mean for the industry? The Department of Health has now taken over responsibility for calorie counted menus from the FSA and the pace of change has accelerated.

Calorie-Counting

CALORIE-COUNTED DISHES ARE STILL ON THE MENU As part of the department’s Responsibility Deal – which aims to improve the diet of the nation by reducing obesity – the department is urging catering companies to commit to providing calorie information on their menus by September 2011 and to reducing the levels of salt in their dishes by ten per cent by the end of 2012. In addition, the department wants to eliminate the use of transfats by the end of 2011. One in six meals is eaten out of home and the government believes that calorie counting at the point of sale will make consumer more aware of the energy content of food. As a result, it expects to moderate the consumption of high calorie dishes and thus encourage caterers and restaurateurs to make more healthy option dishes more available. To back up this approach, there is some evidence to suggest that where calorie counted dishes are available, customers purchase meals with fewer calories. The intention is that calorie information should be displayed for all standardised food and drink items sold on a per portion or per meal basis either on the menu or at point of choice, The government is seeking a similar commitment to reduce the salt content of dishes with the ultimate aim of reducing daily intake from 8.6g to 6g per day and the total elimination of transfats. What progress has been made so far? Certainly, healthy eating should be encouraged across the UK including the devolved administrations in a consistent manner. But any scheme must ensure that business costs are contained (in particular in multi-site businesses) and be capable of being delivered in all sectors. Many operators support the provision of information to consumers about food on menus through the use of sign posting. Indeed, some food service businesses may wish to provide calorie information on menus because it suits their business model. It’s clear, however, that calculating calories on menus can UK HOSPITALITY BLACK BOOK 2011

Calorie Counting

Right: Sodexo, Britain’s second largest contract catering group, took part in the FSA’s pilot scheme, which provided calorie advice on certain dishes. “On the whole, our customers welcomed calorific labelling on menus,” says Sodexo’s Phil Hooper. “But we found areas where the scheme was better received and more useful than others.”

be very complex because of the technical skill required to understand how to obtain nutritional information from suppliers and then interpreting it. There are also a number of practical difficulties relating to buffets, functions including weddings and distance selling. In addition, the scheme brings with it risks of enforcement together with additional costs such as menu reprinting if an ingredient changes halfway through the menu cycle. These costs are difficult to evaluate and will vary from company to company depending upon the availability of nutritional information, communication with suppliers, specialist nutritional advice, administration and management of the scheme at head office and at site level, as well as training of unit staff. Laboratory costs of nutritional analysis of food, 198

l UK HOSPITALITY BLACK BOOK 2011

computer software and changes to menus also add to costs The risk, also, is that analysed samples taken by a Trading Standards Officer do not agree with the calories claimed on the menu. Calorie-counted menus, therefore, pose problems for many food service businesses, particularly independent restaurants. However, what is clear is that the present scheme, although voluntary, will inevitably have an impact on the market-place. So far, 20 major companies have signed up to providing calorie information on a permanent basis, with a commitment to actively encouraging others to join the – at present – voluntary scheme. Their experience will probably dictate how the scheme will develop. Will

behaviour and choice change with a move towards some items on the menu and away from others depending upon the occasion? If it is shown that calorie information steers consumers towards lower calorie-content dishes, then the pressure will be on the industry to adopt the scheme more widely and more quickly. If this is shown to be the case, at what point might the scheme become compulsory? We are not at that stage yet and much depends on the outcome of the commitments already agreed by the leading companies in the industry, but statutory schemes have already been introduced in America. There is no doubt that the government is serious. The industry must take note.
