Frequently Asked Questions

When is the right time to start the beverage contract process?
We recommend that you begin negotiations at least 18 months in advance of your current agreement expiration. Beverage contract negotiations are much like a choreographed dance performance, with each side following a predictable script. You want enough time to turn the script upside down in a way that puts you in the driver seat.

What if someone on the c-suite has a great relationship with our beverage partner?
Relationships are import for many reasons, and they are a useful tool in the negotiation process. The idea that you need to put relationships at risk to achieve a best-in-class beverage program is a myth. Still, it's a good idea to bring in an independent third party who can keep your beverage partner honest.
What type of clients do you work with?
Our restaurant clients include some of the very largest chains in the industry and some of the smallest. We've worked with chains of 3 and of 20K+. The key to a successful beverage deal is not how big you are, it’s how well you negotiate.
How do I obtain a beverage opportunity analysis?

Can't I negotiate a beverage deal on my own?
You can, but it's not a good idea. Beverage negotiations are unlike any other negotiation, and the industry is changing more rapidly now than it has in the last 50 years. Shifting consumer tastes, increased product selection and new equipment technology are all critically important factors to consider in your next deal. Make sure you are armed with the latest financial benchmarks and that your deal will serve your needs well into the future. Plus, it's risk-free to you.

We Don't Want Your Money
