Independent research. Coming soon.

We're building SUMS Hospitality Insights: original studies of how Britain eats, drinks and shops, drawn from real sales records and read alongside the latest UK industry research.

  • From real transactions

    Findings from café, restaurant and retail sales records, shown as changes, indices and shares, with no business or site named.

  • Set against UK research

    Every study is read alongside published industry figures, with each source credited.

  • Questions for your own numbers

    Each report ends with what to check in your own sales, stock and staffing.

What we're looking at

  • Coffee & drinks
  • Food
  • Labour
  • Retail
  • Market

Every site. One clear picture.

See how SUMS connects the whole operation, from the first check of the day to the estate report.
