BrewDog CEO & Co-Founder 🏴 Nice beer that’s nice for the planet 🍻🌍 3h
We’re making some bulletins in the present day about our bars. Particulars are beneath however the headlines are: elevated pay for our crew, the introduction of a fairer bonus scheme and that we’ve additionally taken the powerful resolution to shut 4 bars. It provides as much as a plan that may assist us climate the financial storm at a time when bars and pubs are closing within the UK at a fee of 1 each 12 hours.
Since 2014 we’ve been a Actual Dwelling Wage employer. it’s one thing we’re actually happy with. Paying the Actual Dwelling Wage is uncommon in hospitality and the present market backdrop is making it more and more arduous to retain.
Our crew are superb. They’re what make a BrewDog bar a BrewDog bar. That’s why I’m actually happy that our UK crew will recieve new pay charges averaging an extra £1 an hour according to the Actual Dwelling Wage. I hope these new charges will assist our individuals throughout this troublesome interval. We’re nonetheless means forward of our trade friends on pay – 14.6% forward to be exact.
However there isn’t any getting away from it, the UK hospitality sector is below large strain. Earlier in the present day we met with the bar groups in Leicester, Brixton, Clapham & Pittsburgh to allow them to know that these bars can be closing. All staff members with out exception have been provided continued employment inside BrewDog.
Closing bars that we love is at all times troublesome. Nevertheless, the elevated value of products and run-away power payments imply that we are able to’t proceed to function these venues. I need to thank all our staff members who labored so arduous in these bars, and I really share your unhappiness in them closing.
We do stay dedicated to constructing our world bar footprint and we anticipate to open eight new bars this 12 months.
In Could final 12 months we introduced that we might be sharing 50% of bar earnings with our staff. This had by no means been seen in hospitality earlier than. However then the complete impact of the power disaster took maintain. Prices spiralled & the financial scenario deteriorated badly.
Put bluntly, there’s not a lot level sharing 50% of bar earnings if there’s little or no revenue to share. That’s why, after an intensive session with our staff, we’re transferring to a brand new program referred to as Buyer Champions. The place the bars meet a customer support high quality goal, all hourly paid crew can be paid £1 further for every hour they labored that month. This can be on prime of a ten% revenue share program too!
I’m actually happy about this as a result of, at a time when others would possibly minimize corners, we should be completely obsessive concerning the high quality of our beers and the standard of the expertise in our bars. If we try this, then when the financial scenario improves, we can be in one of the best form we’ve ever been.
We’re doing all we are able to to get the enterprise by these difficult instances whereas doing one of the best we are able to by our individuals and staying true to the ethos that makes BrewDog distinctive. Thanks all as at all times on your suggestions and help.
