Bidfood enhances operator advice hub with efficiency tips

Wholesaler Bidfood has relaunched its ‘Unlock Your Menu’ industry support hub to provide fresh insights and practical tools for hospitality businesses.

Bidfood’s platform addresses the main pain points of rising costs and labour and skill shortages following the recent increases in the National Living Wage and employer National Insurance contributions.

The ‘Unlock Your Menu’ hub features tips, practical advice and cost-saving strategies on menu engineering and profitability, saving energy, food waste and solutions for managing inflationary pressures.

Developed by Bidfood’s culinary development chefs, tips include highlighting high margin menu items, batch cooking and offering targeted promotions.

‘Unlock Your Menu’ has been designed to support the long-term success of operators across all sectors, enabling them to cater with confidence and boost their bottom line to deliver value.

Joe Angliss, sector and new business marketing controller at Bidfood, said: “We understand first-hand the challenges our customers face, from rising costs and staff shortages, to increasing pressure to operate more sustainably. That’s why we’ve refreshed ‘Unlock Your Menu’, giving it a sharper focus and even more tailored advice to help the industry adapt and thrive.

“This is only the beginning, and we will continue to add more expert insights, practical guidance and smart tools so operators can unlock their menu’s full potential and run a more profitable, efficient kitchen.”
