How to Increase Your Restaurant’s Profits with Premium Beverages: A Smart Sales Strategy
If you need to increase your restaurant’s profits, there’s a simple strategy that can make all the difference for your restaurant: switching to premium beverages. By offering higher-quality drinks at a slightly higher price, you significantly boost your bottom line—without having to overhaul your entire menu.
But that’s not all. Continue reading to discover the power of premium beverages when you partner with Private Label Specialties.
Boost Sales with Premium Beverages
Having premium drinks on your menu can significantly boost sales.
Let's break it down with a simple example. Imagine you sold 500 drinks at $2.50 each in a week. That would be $1,250 in sales. Now, picture switching those drinks to premium options priced at $3.75 each. Selling the same 500 drinks now brings in $1,875. That's an increase of $625 in just one week.
And this isn’t some distant fantasy: it can totally be your restaurant’s reality if you change over to premium beverages.
Here’s why it works. When you offer your customers better-tasting, better-looking, better-quality beverages, they’re often more than willing to pay the price. That’s because you’ve raised your perceived value. Customers are willing to pay more for a better experience, which includes everything from novelty to taste to appearance. If you make your premium drinks a signature part of your restaurant’s identity, you will set yourself apart from the competition–and keep your customers coming back for more.
Increase Your Profit Margins
The math works in your favor here as well. If the $2.50 drinks cost you $1.00 each to produce, your profit from 500 drinks would be $750. But with premium drinks, which might cost you $1.30 each to produce, you’d still be serving the same 500 drinks, but now you’d be making $1,225 in profit. That’s an additional $475 just by upgrading the quality of your beverages.
This isn’t about making a few extra bucks—it's about learning how to significantly increase your restaurant’s profit margins with minimal effort. And by offering premium products, you’re not just earning more on each sale, you’re also building a higher level of customer loyalty and satisfaction, which leads to repeat business and word-of-mouth referrals.
Advertise Your Brand with Every Sip
You might be wondering, “So what if I make a little more money? What’s the real impact?” Well here's where the game changes. With custom-labeled beverages, you’re not just increasing your revenue and profit. You’re also using your drinks as powerful marketing tools.
Think of your beverage labels as miniature billboards. Every time a customer takes a sip, they’re advertising your restaurant’s brand. Why would you want to advertise for a global brand like Coke or Pepsi when you could be advertising for your own business?
When you offer custom-branded beverages, you ensure that your restaurant’s identity stays in the spotlight. It's all about customer loyalty. The more your customers think of your restaurant, the more likely they are to return. If your drinks have a recognizable, appealing brand image, they’ll associate your signature drinks with your restaurant, not with someone else's brand.
The end result? A bigger boost to your restaurant’s popularity–and an increase in your restaurant’s profit.
Make Your Restaurant Their First Choice
Imagine this: Every time a customer thinks about grabbing a drink, they picture your restaurant. Even though big-name beverage companies are everywhere, your customer chooses to come to your store, because they crave the premium flavor of your drinks and the unique brand experience associated with your restaurant.
Isn’t that the dream? We’re happy to tell you that it’s by no means an impossible one.
If you invest in solid branding, strategically building your recognition through premium products like custom labeled beverages, the more likely you’ll be top of mind for your customers.
This is the power of one. The first place someone looks when they’re thinking about a drink is their mind, and with the right branding, your restaurant could be the first thing they think of.
