The March edition of bw166’s Total Beverage Alcohol Overview was released yesterday.
The market has changed dramatically during March. Some highlights include:
Pantry loading is evident in March with the
Total Beverage Alcohol Index increasing 3.0% over the last twelve months – typically,
this increases at an annual rate of 1.2%.
Off-Premise channels increased Beverage Alcohol
sales by volume between 24% and 27%.
Volumes in On-premise Eating and Drinking Places
declined by just over 50%.
On-Premise employee wages declined by 38%, which
will continue in April.
In April, volume sold through the On-Premise will
continue to decline between 80% and 90% versus April 2019. The Off-Premise will likely make up this
volume. However, margins will contract
as; generally, On-Premise has higher margins.
Recovery from the COVID-19 crisis will not be quick. Some form of social distancing will likely be
mandated until either a viable treatment is available or a vaccine is widely
available. The extension of social
distancing implies that Off-Premise sales will be bolstered from reduced
On-Premise consumption. Considerations
for the On-Premise include:
Limited seating, probably at 50% of standard
capacity, will be the norm, challenging many restaurants to be profitable.
Consumers will be hesitant to frequent
restaurants immediately upon opening, so even building to 50% of capacity may
take months.
Beverage Alcohol needs On-Premise for a healthy
and vibrant market. Suppliers and
wholesalers need to support the slow recovery of the On-Premise.
Rumors have circulated of laying off or
furloughing On-Premise staff at wholesalers or suppliers. Companies should consider the short term
benefits versus the long term challenges of hiring, training, and building
relationships.
Wholesalers should reconsider supplier-dedicated
teams in the On-Premise during this recovery to improve operational
efficiencies and streamline the sales process for those accounts.
As the On-Premise opens to customers again,
Wholesalers and Suppliers need to establish reasonable expectations given the
slow recovery that will occur as well as be mindful of what is in the
best interests of On-Premise operators during this phase.
On-Premise accounts will have low initial order
quantities, which may lead wholesalers to limit deliveries or move to
Tele-Sales. While this may minimize
expenses in the short term, wholesales must also consider the long term
importance of building and maintaining relationships.
There is no doubt that Beverage Alcohol will not return to the old normal once this crisis has passed. Instead, a new normal will result, and a healthy and vibrant On-Premise market needs to be part of that norm.
