#232 - The Real Cost of Standing Still — with Robert Furey, Florigo U.K
Manage episode 521068613 series 2467326
Stelios sits down with Robert Furey, Managing Director of Florigo UK, to talk about how fish and chip shops can stay sharp and profitable in an uncertain economy. They explore the difference between cutting costs and cutting investment, why some operators often pause while others stick to long-term plans, and how replacing ageing ranges can save money through efficiency, reliability, and easier servicing.
The conversation also covers pricing confidence and value perception, practical lessons on click-and-collect and delivery, and the essentials many shops overlook — from insurance details and servicing schedules to fire-suppression compliance.
Finally, they look ahead to the next wave of range technology and unpack what the QBTEC move around Florigo could mean for the wider market.
What you'll learn in this episode:
• How to control costs without stalling growth
• The true payback of upgrading old frying ranges
• Pricing psychology and protecting perceived value
• Click-and-collect first, delivery second — and why
• Insurance, maintenance, and fire-suppression basics that matter
• Where frying range tech is heading next
• What the QBTEC/Florigo news likely means for operators
