Beverage Federation’s Post

The "bubble" jokes write themselves with this potential Spindrift Beverage Co, Inc. deal. I love the product and the brand, but the financials are a struggle if the reporting is correct. $650M for $25M EBITDA = 26X. That's 3.8% earnings yield. Or if you figure the earnings leap 50%, maybe it's a 6% yield. Risk free treasuries are 4.25%. Yes, I'm sure the business can grow, and yes there is leverage being applied to juice the return. But there's also management fees that subtract from the return.

🔥 Is your restaurant’s P&L sheet scaring you more than your competition? It's time to tackle that head-on with a strategy. P&L management isn't about crunching numbers—it’s about driving your business forward with informed decisions. 📊 Here’s a tip: Focus on your food costs first. Start by reviewing your suppliers. A lot of restaurants miss out on savings by not renegotiating their terms regularly. It’s a quick win that can instantly give you breathing room on your balance sheet.

The objection I hear most, I want the lowest cost. Learning to effectively communicate that if you’re the asking for the lowest cost without factoring in yield/quality/service it likely makes you a low profit margin customer . Then you have to ask yourself,how great do you think service will be? Who will be first on the list of recoveries when issues arise? Who will expedite a PO on your behalf to support the overperforming LTO we helped ideate in our culinary center! Find a distribution partner that helps you achieve bigger results beyond case cost! Value is so much more than price! #distribution #partnershiplooksdifferent

It’s not an easy choice, but my all-time favorite burger joint is Small Cheval in Chicago (especially the Wicker Park location).  I’ll grab a double cheeseburger, fries, and a shake.  And for the rest of the day I’ll be full and content - it works every time! Keep in mind Small Cheval isn’t cheap.  There’s a spot with a “World’s Best Burger” sign down the street where I could go get 10 burgers for the price of my Small Cheval meal.  Let’s say it’s lunch time - I’m starving and I have a crazy afternoon.  I have enough money in my pocket and enough time on my hands for either burger spot.  My options are: “World’s Best Burger" - get a burger.  It's cheaper and it’ll taste good, but it’s greasy, it won’t make me feel great and I’ll still be hungry after.  Sure, it’ll fulfill my need for food, but will it really do the job? Small Cheval - get a burger.  I’ll spend more money, but it’ll taste great, I’ll feel happy, and it’ll fill me up.  Not only does it fulfill my need for food, but I’m also ready to tackle my afternoon of meetings and cold calls! Now why on earth am I talking about burgers on LinkedIn?  Because evaluating visibility providers is a similar process.  If you’re going to go spend money on lunch (or buy a visibility solution), do it right.  Fulfilling a need isn’t always as simple as finding the cheapest option.  It’s about finding the right option - the one that does the job no matter the circumstances.  Are you stuck eating from “World’s Best Burger” every day?  Schedule a demo with me and I’ll show you what your lunch could be like 😎.  #ContainerTracking #Visibility #Logistics #SupplyChain #InternationalShipping https://lnkd.in/eN9HwY5W
