Help out Hospitality Launches Across Scotland

Hotels and restaurants across Scotland have united to ‘Help out Hospitality’ in a move inspired by the successful ‘Eat Out to Help Out’ scheme rolled out during the COVID-19 crisis.

Prompted by the recent increase in energy prices, the documented cost of living crisis and the increasing costs faced by businesses, the effort looks to support hospitality outlets located across Scotland, while offering great dining and stay incentives for customers too! The scheme kicked off this week and will run throughout November and potentially beyond.

Spearheaded by Barry Knight, Director of The Full Range, one of the UK’s leading food and drink procurement firms, the scheme has worked to allow restaurants and hotels to create enticing deals on both meals and overnight stays, at a time which typically sees a reduction in footfall.

Knight told us, “By leveraging our unique position in the marketplace, we have been able to negotiate a support package across a wide range of suppliers and manufacturers which allows our partner hotels and restaurants to run promotions throughout the winter, encouraging diners to eat out and guests to stay over, sustaining footfall at a particularly vulnerable time for hospitality.”

Links House at Royal Dornoch is one of the hotels participating in the initiative offering a two-night luxury dinner, bed and breakfast for a reduced rate of £680. Managing Director Phil Scott has been an enthusiastic supporter of the idea, stating “We are delighted to be involved with The Full Range's initiative to Help Out Hospitality. It's a very positive contribution to our sector, combining resources and promoting Scottish businesses collectively.”

The original ‘Eat Out to Help Out’ scheme was used by UK diners over 100 million times generating over £522 million in support for outlets UK-wide at a time of reduced consumer confidence helping to kick-start the hospitality industry post-lockdown.
