2. The UK Restaurant Landscape 2018
Diners spent over £21 billion in over 31,000 full service restaurants where diners can sit down  

3. Empty Seats Online reservation companies Discount companies
Don't allow restaurants much choice or control
Creates bitter feeling
Restaurants still suffer today from their greatest fear
Poor marketing, cancellations and no-shows

4. Delivery vs Bringing Back Diners
Restaurants are under pressure to offer delivery services
Delivery = 30% Commission
No opportunity to up-sell drinks and dessert

5. Big Dish Yield management for restaurants

8. Sales Approach
