🚨FOOD INDUSTRY NEWS🚨
Squatters who have occupied a Gordon Ramsay pub in central London (Camden) want to open the Grade II-listed building to people who could "previously not afford to visit".
One representative noted that "Camden is a borough with one of the biggest wealth disparities in London, so it seems only fitting that £13m properties that most locals would never be able to afford to visit should be opened up to all." 🍺

Moving to another POS and restaurant management system requires courage and conviction, especially if you’ve become used to your existing setup.
But for F&B operators, familiarity is often the enemy of growth. What may seem comfortable and familiar, may actually be dragging your business down.
So, making the leap can be one of the most impactful decisions you’ll ever make. Just ask Alberto Blanco, the Franchise, Support and Compliance Manager at 12th Street Burgers 🍔
To drive growth and ensure continued development for his successful restaurant chain, Alberto helped oversee a major transition to the Syrve platform. And the impact was immediate and significant.
Since implementation, our next-gen system has enabled 12th Street Burgers to:
✅ Integrate All Orders into a Single Pipeline
✅ Streamline and Simplify Delivery Channel Management
✅ Seamlessly Manage Delivery Aggregators
✅ Easily Access Staff, Inventory, Menus and Delivery Via a Centralised System
✅ Rely on 24/7 Support
For Alberto and the team at 12th Street Burgers, the switch to Syrve has been transformative. Hear what he had to say about working with us:

I will start this with a disclaimer that I am not a huge fan of Red Lobster. However, I find this an intensely interesting case study.
While the blame for their financial woes has been thrown only at the pervasive "all you can eat shrimp" promotion, the company was already on the decline when it decided to make this a staple menu item.
I believe that the crux of the issue was a July 2014 sale of property owned by Red Lobster that netted them $1.5 billion. It also gave them a permanent rent cost that did not exist before that time. Rent costs that they most likely could not control and increased over time. In fact, by 2023 the rent cost was $200 million for the year. Comparing that to the $11 million lost from the shrimp promotion, it seems clear what the real culprit was.
I suppose it may not have been an issue had the money been put back into the company. Instead, they went for asset stripping even though this strategy had destroyed other companies (Sears for example). I am interested to see how this new CEO will create a plan to address the bigger issues at the company. Though I'm sure the shrimp will be missed.

Red Lobster is no longer in bankruptcy! 35 year old Damola Adamolekun is the new CEO & promises better service, food and interiors, but no more $20 unlimited shrimp on the standard menu “We’re making a comeback!”
