GUIDE: How restaurants can beat the cost-of-living crisis

With forecasts predicting a prolonged recession for the UK ahead, restaurants need to tackle the cost-of-living crisis head-on. As UK consumers cut back on non-essential spending, eating out is a luxury many either can’t afford or justify on tighter budgets.

We’ve teamed up with DataHawks – the hospitality data insights and email marketing specialists – to explain how restaurants can beat the recession by winning customers who continue to spend.

In this guide, we explain how you can use third-party marketing data (from search, social media, etc.) and first-party customer data (in your CRM) to deal with the challenges that lie ahead. With this data-driven approach, we focus on:

• Attracting more of the right kind of customers in a recession
• Capturing tourists (who will likely spend more)
• Converting people into bookings
• Identifying your best customers
• Maximising customer value with hyper-personalisation (did you know you can assign different images in emails depending on live weather data in the recipient’s area? Now that’s pretty cool!)
• Keeping your best customers spending money
• Predicting when customers are about to drop off
