Single-Use Menu Solutions
Challenge
The Marston’s marketing team were being inundated with orders for the single-use menus and were finding that the demand for these was too challenging to manage and not cost efficient. Large amounts of time were being spent processing the order, which resulted in a delay on getting menus to hundreds of Marston’s Brewery restaurants.
Solution
Our brief was to produce up to 500,000 menus per week, in approximately 120 different menu types in an easy-to-use ordering process with a delivery timeframe of 2-3 days. In response to their brief, our team created a bespoke online ordering portal for each and every menu ordering option.
The portal was split into the brand categories under the Marston’s Brewery umbrella and then by split down into each type of menu, for example, Vegan, Sunday Lunch, Christmas Menus etc. We needed to build the system with fixed quantity and specifications which allowed for consistent pricing. This level of consistency and efficient ease of ordering allowed the Marston’s Marketing team to process large orders swiftly and cost effectively.

Results
Within 10 working days, our team had produced the branded portal and Marston’s were able to place their first menu order. Overall, we were able to provide Marston’s with a timely solution that’s not only reduced the physical cost of the printing of the single-use menu’s, but also removed a huge amount of administration time for the marketing department. They no longer have to manage the artwork distribution to suppliers and the processing of individual orders because it’s all automated and summed up in a weekly order update report.

Working with the Birch team was a pleasure. When building a new store we needed a business partner who took away the headaches, and created solutions not problems. Birch managed to hit deadlines and produce high quality POS enabling us to get open on time and with a great looking store.
