Today, we released our Quarterly Restaurant Report, in which we assessed U.S. data across F&B sellers. The report revealed trends like rising labor costs, busy weekday happy hours, bustling weekend restaurant traffic, and a close battle for popularity between tequila and vodka.

This is really great commentary! Yes, the author is speaking about zero proof cocktails on-premise but it’s the same lesson re:knowing your consumers in any industry.
A receipt, market share, units per week, etc. won’t tell the whole story. Listening to your consumers can help complete the story, providing the why and how.
“Most of the time the mindful drinker chooses the restaurant. As owners and managers, everything we look at tells a story….You’re missing out on the whole story and the real worth of having these options.” (Referencing zero proof cocktails)
See full quote below.
Regional Sales Manager Northern California for The Free Spirits Company. Owner at Lenny's Hideaway.
Camille Vidal shared with us at her TOTC seminar that the majority of the time, the mindful drinker chooses the restaurant.
Our zeroproof drinks are not dominating our sales by any means, but we consistently see tabs like this one. 4-8 diners enjoying a night out with a mix of full and zeroproof cocktails. Often times, consumers go out of their way to let us know these options are why they came to Lenny’s. This year, we had our highest January beverage sales. Again, not because the non alc cocktails dominated the sales, but because of tabs like this.
As owners and managers, everything we look at to anazlyze our business tells us a story. If you’re looking at no and low cocktails from the vantage point, “Well, yeah we sell a few here and there,” you’re missing out on the whole story and the real worth of having these options. You’re also undervaluing the crucial benefits a no and low menu has for not only your beverage program, but the bottom line of your entire restaurant. #mindfuldrinking#nonalcoholic#zeroproof#cocktails#menudevelopment#restaurantindustry#revenuegrowth#restaurantowner#restaurantmanager#restaurantoperations#drinksindustry

So, what would you adjust on their menu if you ran it? Share your thoughts in the comments below.
