Operators should do a thorough pre-Brexit buying check, says Lynx Purchasing
The company says it could make all the difference to “being ready for whatever challenges are to come”.
Summer is the “ideal” time for hospitality and catering operators to give their business a thorough pre-Brexit buying check, according to buying specialist Lynx Purchasing.
Considering ongoing Brexit negotiations, the company says the abundance of good value British produce now available makes it a good time to make sure robust product sourcing practices are in place.
"The Brexit uncertainty rumbles on, but overall, the next few months are looking positive in produce terms. Weather conditions have been kind, with no repeat of last years' ‘beast from the east' or similar challenges, and most crops are expected to be good quality across the summer,” Lynx Purchasing managing director Rachel Dobson explained.
Whilst operators are dealing with rising costs and lower consumer confidence, Dobson says it is important to remember that there are also costs that can be controlled.
"With a wide choice of British produce at its best across the summer in terms of quality, value and availability, a pre-Brexit buying check looking at menus, ordering procedures, suppliers used and other factors could make all the difference to being ready for whatever challenges are to come," she added.
