Q.5 Case Study
Whitbread is a large UK hospitality business with major lines of business in coffee shops with
Costa Coffee, in hotels with Premier Inn and in restaurants with Beefeater, Table-Table & Brewers
Fayre restaurant brands.
With competition hotting up for committed ?casual diners? Whitbread?s restaurant brands needed
to be able to engage with loyal diners visiting each branch frequently. Without some sort of
programme through which to connect directly with these customers, the value from such high
spenders was at risk. So if loyalty was the purpose in mind, and regular diners were the targets,
then the brief was for some sort of loyalty programme for diners to enrol in. Proposed as a pilot at
first to deploy across just 30 Beefeater restaurants, Whitbread could test and establish whether a
points based loyalty programme could work for Beefeater.
After a short tender process, we selected a partnering supplier to work with in scoping, specifying
and building a pilot programme. The pilot would need to be able to be scaled up and rolled out if
proven to be effective, or closed if not. If rolled out it should also be able to be applied across other
Whitbread restaurant brands.
Restaurant till systems would register transaction data from all of our restaurants, feeding the data
into Whitbread centrally for copying out to our partnering supplier. Through using low cost
magstripe membership cards at the till, we could associate any transaction with a member
collecting points from it.
Just five months later, the pilot programme launched with carefully planned briefings for staff at
the 30 Beefeater pilot restaurant sites. With an initial focus on acquiring members at sites, the role
of staff in pitching and promoting the programme would be crucial.
Our systems and data supporting the programme could count and measure every aspect of
?Beefeater Reward Card? customer spend in restaurants. So early reporting and analysis from sites,
crunching the data, would be important. Sites with more than 50% of Reward Club members

of staff in pitching and promoting the programme would be crucial.
Our systems and data supporting the programme could count and measure every aspect of
?Beefeater Reward Card? customer spend in restaurants. So early reporting and analysis from sites,
crunching the data, would be important. Sites with more than 50% of Reward Club members
amongst their diners grew covers by close to +6% year on year; those with a below average
proportion of Reward Club members saw a year on year decline.
After a full year of operation of the Beefeater programme with 750,000 cards issued, we could
count over 330,000 as ?active? members. Members accounted for 30% of ?checks? (bills), 40% of
revenues & close to 50% of all covers (diners). Further analysis proved that the programmes
delivered +1.5% in growth year on year over and above growth from any other business activity.
For Whitbread?s restaurant brands, this growth gave an ROI for the programme of over 8:1, whilst
protecting and winning over high spending customers from competitors.
Question: Identify the critical success factors of Whitbread. 14
