Arenas

Helping arena venues manage risks and maximise profits through stock control guidance, recruitment support, and pre-employment screening, tailored to their specific needs.

Managing Risks and Maximising Profits

Arenas present unique challenges to operators, with their diverse events, reliance on casual staff, and numerous outlets. Managing risks and optimising profitability in these dynamic environments requires strategic measures and a deep understanding of customer demographics.

Stock management for arenas

To minimise the risk of product loss and waste, arena operators must adopt effective stock management practices. Key strategies include:

• Just-in-Time Procurement: Implementing a “just-in-time” procurement policy ensures that products are supplied when needed, in the right quantity, and without excess inventory.

• Streamlined Product Portfolio: Maintaining a limited product portfolio helps minimise leftover stock after each event. The goal is to have the minimum amount of products remaining, reducing the risk of waste and financial loss.

• Supplier Contracts: Establishing “sale or return” contracts with suppliers can be advantageous, allowing operators to return unsold items and avoid unnecessary costs.

Understanding the Customer Base

Arenas must have a comprehensive understanding of their customer base to cater to their diverse preferences. The food and beverage offerings for a rock concert, for example, will differ significantly from those for a classical concert. It is crucial to maintain a varied stock that aligns with the demographic profile of each event.

We have used Capcon’s services over the last few years and found them to be very professional. We wanted to have a close relationship as our business went through growth and to ensure consistency along the way, they have delivered on both.

We have been using Capcon’s support team to help our hotels get the most out of the tools we have provided them. Capcon have the knowledge to train our staff on both principles and the stock taking systems that we use through our portfolio. As well as this they support us periodically throughout the year providing us with quality checks, support, and actionable data to improve our controls. By using them as a support service rather than an auditing company we have been able to make savings by keeping the majority of the work in house. Capcon are also adaptable to our needs, providing on-property auditing assistance when issues occur in the short and long term. Our relationship has been well established and we hope to keep this relationship long into the future.
