Welcome back, Brand Builders! On today's episode we dive into the world of pricing strategies for bars and restaurants. Host Jason Littrell recounts a recent experience he had at a dive bar where a simple cocktail was priced at a shockingly low $8. He questions the tactic behind this pricing and explores the idea that businesses may be playing a dangerous game of trying to outdo their competitors in terms of affordability. Jason argues that customers are willing to pay more for a quality drink and asserts that businesses should focus on making a profitable margin rather than racing to the bottom. Join us as we unpack the importance of pricing strategies and uncover the secrets to a successful and sustainable business in the hospitality industry. The key takeaways from this audio are: 1. Many bars and restaurants are undercharging for their cocktails, assuming that customers want the cheapest option. 2. People are willing to pay more than $8 for a cocktail, especially if it is of higher quality. 3. It is important for businesses to charge what the market will bear in order to make a profitable margin. 4. By offering recognized brands at a higher price, businesses can increase their profit margins. 5. Businesses that constantly try to be the cheapest may struggle to stay in business, as a lack of profit leads to financial difficulties. 6. Profit should be prioritized in each transaction, and strategies like offers can be used to generate profit. 7. 4 out of 5 bars and restaurants go out of business within 5 years, often due to a lack of profitability.

Welcome back, Brand Builders! In today's episode of Kinetic Marketing Systems, we dive into day 34 as we discuss an important topic: back to school. But before we delve into that, let's recap last week's episode on offers. We address the misconception that offering discounts and coupons isn't cool. In fact, successful restaurants thrive on offers. Today, we focus on the influx of new customers with the start of a new school semester. Many of these students are of legal drinking age, and we have the perfect marketing opportunity. By attaching your brand to an offer, you not only increase awareness but also establish partnerships with other establishments. We explore various offer ideas and discuss the power of social proof in attracting customers. Stick around and join us for some valuable brand-building strategies. Let's get started! The key takeaways from this audio are: 1. Offers are important for successful businesses, even though some may consider them uncool. 2. Back to school season presents an opportunity for restaurants to target students and young adults. 3. Attaching a brand to an offer can help build awareness and attract customers. 4. Creating conditions for the offer during less busy times can still generate marketing impressions. 5. The presence of people in a restaurant can serve as social proof and attract more customers. 6. It is easier to attract repeat customers than first-time customers, so it is valuable to get people in the restaurant, even if it means offering deals. 7. Social proof is a powerful element in marketing.

On this episode of Kinetic Marketing Systems, our host Jason Littrell welcomes guests Elsa Rapp, Thomas Spaeth, and Gill Grosman to discuss a variety of topics. They start off by exploring the fascinating evolution of tattoos in the world of caps (athletes) prior to 2009 and the current prevalence of tattoos among caps. They delve into the significance of additional tattoos and how they were once seen as a form of stigma. Our speaker admits that they are relieved to be in a town that appreciates tradition and isn't obsessed with agave distillates, although they suggest ways to make PIMS cups even better. The sazerac and the view courte are also highlighted as popular drinks in the town. The speaker expresses their pleasant surprise at encountering kind and welcoming people in this town, particularly during their visit to a bar near Bourbon Street where they managed to find a seat just as six individuals were leaving. The bartenders seemed genuinely relieved by their departure. The conversation then turns to the Ricard Perno culture in southern France, which is associated with absinthe consumption, a distinct and once-trending drink. Absinthe sales remain consistent, unlike other beverages. The discussion takes a lighthearted turn as the speakers touch on quirky topics such as small TVs, stickers, pins, and reminisce about the past when people used to have tails at work. They reflect on how the concept of tails has changed over time. The episode takes a culinary detour as the speakers rave about the spectacular muffaletta at Napoleon House and praise the friendly bartenders they encountered at various locations. The conversation turns to Anne Turnerman, who played a role in attracting people to visit New Orleans, and how the city experienced an influx of tourists as a result. The bartender at one establishment shares her appreciation for nerdy bartenders visiting her bar and mentions that the present month sees fewer tourists. The episode concludes with some light-hearted banter, as the speakers discuss an amusing clock-like sound from a place they used to frequent, and Katie playfully questions the speaker's observational skills while walking down the street. Join us on this episode of Kinetic Marketing Systems as we dive into these intriguing and entertaining conversations.

On this episode of Kinetic Marketing Systems, our host, Jason Littrell, sits down with guest Gill Grossman to discuss their unique perspective on the restaurant industry and their journey to finding fulfillment in their career.  Gill begins by expressing their admiration for renowned speaker Simon Sinek, highlighting his genuine love for people and the importance of channeling one's advantages. Growing up in poverty, Gill developed a deep respect for money, instilled by their parents' teachings to never touch other people's money and always respect it. This mindset shaped their approach to their restaurant business, meticulously reviewing orders and prioritizing the well-being of their team over potential financial gains.  They also touch on their experience working with John George, where they had the opportunity to make a significant additional order per week without anyone noticing. However, Gill's focus remained on the well-being of their team, consistently prioritizing their needs.  Gill also discusses their belief that treating wounded children, regardless of the circumstances, is of utmost importance. They also express their love for famous individuals in Israel and their interest in learning how to make Campari after discovering its popularity in their home country.  Reflecting on their tendency to fix things and their pragmatic approach to life, Gill emphasizes the importance of recognizing that when people go to a restaurant, they are entering someone else's space.  Their journey takes them to different parts of the world, including South America, where they embark on hiking trips while their peers engage in partying and drugs. Eventually, Gill moves to the US and continues working in the restaurant industry, only to realize that it is not fulfilling their desired life.  Their perspective shifts when they encounter a bartender named Tombun, who introduces them to the Negroni cocktail, leaving a lasting impression. Gill shares their observations on the restaurant industry's current state, highlighting the crisis it faces, with many establishments deteriorating and losing their appeal.  They discuss how high prices in some bars are often unjustified and how the pandemic has shown that people can easily make their own cocktails at home, reducing the need to visit bars. Furthermore, Gill believes that even with health insurance provided in their last job, they no longer feel a sense of belonging in the industry.  Join us on this episode of Kinetic Marketing Systems as we delve into Gill Grosman's fascinating journey and explore their insightful views on the restaurant industry and the importance of finding fulfillment in one's career.
