Restaurant and takeaway owners, at one table
The UK's 89,600 restaurant businesses and 468,000 employees face the same pressures. Solving them together is the difference.
Request restaurant membershipThe UK foodservice market generates £104.8 billion in annual turnover — yet 80% of restaurants are independently owned, with limited purchasing power and no financial buffer. Hospitality lost 124,376 employees between 2024 and 2025. Eight restaurants still close every day.
What restaurants operators face
Supplier consolidation
Food price inflation has reached 38.6% since November 2020. Major suppliers hold the pricing power. You do not.
Staffing crisis
51% of operators name staffing as their top threat. 35% say training is critical. Industry turnover sits at 75%. You are always rebuilding the team.
Rising costs
National Living Wage, National Insurance, energy. Many operators shrink portions rather than raise menu prices customers will not wear.
Regulatory complexity
Food safety, licensing, new compliance — solved alone, every time.
Professional isolation
Competitors will not collaborate. Pricing, staffing and supplier calls get made without peer counsel.
