Pubs - weekly turnover?
Discussion
What would be the usual weekly turnover for your average pub?
I've just seen an advert on Gumtree advertising a General Managers position for the pub on the local estate, and it states the average weekly sales. Considering their clientele is the same load of workshy scumbags day in, day out, I was quite shocked at the figure.
ETA: ah wait no, it says expected sales, so maybe not what they've been doing

The Clifton
Years back that used to technically be my local when I lived in a caravan up the road
Back in those days it was all dark brick its had a few makeovers since there.
Strategically placed near the motorway and having a car park it used to be a good spot for "car park deals" ranging from shoplifter hauls to the buying in of counterfeit crap that ended up further up the road at Whyndyke or so our friend at the Trading Standards told us.
The turnover figure you mention does seem quite high though. I can try and find out what the Crown Carvery/ No 3 is working on but not till after the weekend

I'd suggest you don't consider taking the post on if you think all the customers are work shy scumbags.I've just seen an advert on Gumtree advertising a General Managers position for the pub on the local estate, and it states the average weekly sales.

To be able to afford to drink in a pub you'd probably need to have a decent income and in my little experience they're not bad sorts in locals.
how much be you actually earn out of that pint....?kiethton said:

The best I'd heard of (not mine) was a huge weatherspoons in the city, on a busy Thursday (pre-crash) it would push £70k on a Thursday and be about £200k for the week.
Not exactly a pub,but Novikov in Mayfair ,which is 2 restaurants and a bar in Berkeley streetThe best I'd heard of (not mine) was a huge weatherspoons in the city, on a busy Thursday (pre-crash) it would push £70k on a Thursday and be about £200k for the week.
does about £800k a week, £40,000,000 a year.

No disrespect, but you must live in a nice area. Where I stay most pubs are only kept open by those who don't work. They are in there every afternoon and at night. I have no idea how they do it. Any day you can pass one of the local pubs and there they are outside having a smoke. Not only that but nearly every local pub around here has a bookies next door or over the road.

Haha, I don't want the job, it was boarded up when I went past so I googled to find out if it had finally been closed down. To be able to afford to drink in a pub you'd probably need to have a decent income and in my little experience they're not bad sorts in locals.

A pub is like a petrol station. Customers come to the premises for one "headline" reason but almost all of the profit is made from selling them other things. Or best of all, taking their money and selling them absolutely nothing (the gaming machine).
About 15yrs ago the manager of a town centre pub told me that they could take £2k a week from their gaming machines, not sure if this was net or gross though.gpo746 said:
It has a long history but it occupies a reasonable size. Could have ended up a Tesco Express ! though if memory serves there big one is just behind it ?

Yeah the big Tesco is just up the road from it. Has that one on the road past the hospital closed yet ? that was supposed to be in difficulty ?
Which one past the hospital? Which road? There's a few around there!
ETA: For those talking about turnover Vs profit, that's irrelevant. I'm not interested in how profitable the business is, I was just somewhat surprised at the how much the locals are putting through there weekly.

At JDW prices, that is a hell of a lot of pints of beer and plates of food. Being in the city, I expect they would be shifting lots of cases of Champagne to hit those figures.
