Adding value

Effective visual displays, stock management and competitive pricing enable theme park retailers to compete with high street shops. Incentives encourage staff to promote certain lines.

Amusement machines with prize vouchers for exchange in retail outlets are gaining popularity.

Looking at the menu
Article Abstract:
Leisure operators can find it very hard to decide which catering arrangements are most suitable for their particular facility. They are aware that most customers are not really looking for luxury catering, but are simply seeking facilities which offer a clean, inexpensive and fast service. Many large leisure facilities now operate catering kiosks, reflecting the trend away from sitting down in cafes or restaurants for a long time.

Daily bread
Article Abstract:
Operators of leisure facilities can derive considerable benefits from offering freshly baked foods such as bread and pastries. It is worth considering combining a bake-off, which links modern freezing techniques with new sorts of bakery ovens which are simple to use, with a coffee shop. Customers are very attracted to freshly baked goods, and these are now very easy for leisure operators to provide.
