It’s no secret that running a restaurant is an expensive endeavour and full of financial risk. With that in mind, it’s essential to ensure that you are making savings where possible - without reducing the quality of your services. Here, we take a look at just four ways that you can shave down your outgoings without reducing the quality of service. Read on to find out more!
Affordable Linen Hire and Laundry Services
If you want to make a good impression on the patrons of your restaurant, you need to take care of the little details; from the food and decor down to the cutlery and linen. However, buying all of the linen outright and taking care of the laundry in-house can get expensive. Instead, working with affordable linen hire and laundry service providers, like London Linen, is a great alternative. You’ll have fresh linen delivered direct to your door so you can ensure every guest isn’t just impressed by the food and service - but the little touches too!
Grow Your Own Seasonal Produce
One sure-fire way to reduce the costs of your restaurant, and have a great unique selling point, is to grow your own seasonal ingredients. By doing this, you are saving valuable money, reducing your impact on the environment and ensuring that everything is completely fresh. People want to feel connected to their food - and what better way to do that than to tell them it was grown just outside or in the restaurant’s allotment!
Switch To More Sustainable Lighting and Energy
Lighting is a real energy guzzler and can account for a large portion of your expenditure. By switching to more sustainable sources of light - like LEDs - you can reduce that cost, save money in the long term as well as help to protect the environment. To improve your energy savings even further, consider investing in renewable sources of energy. Although the installation costs of renewable energy may be high, the systems will pay for themselves over time - reducing your carbon footprint and costs in the long run.
Monitor Wastage, Energy Usage and Inventory
Finally, one of the most important ways to reduce your costs is to know precisely what they are. Unless you’re accurately monitoring your costs, there’s no hope of you reducing them! Best practices include monitoring everything from your food waste, energy usage and inventory and examining the results to see whether there is any scope for improvements. If there are, actioning these will lead to immediate savings.
