Hi

Just need to know what the going rate for a crate of 24 redbull/monster to the trade is?

I mean if you are a pub or club buying it from a cash/carry or suppler.

Thanks

We have just switched to Matthew Clarke, hope they will be good. Seem slightly more competitive than Waverley.

Sorry to hijack, but do you guys deal with keg/casks too? If so, who do you use? I'm interested in judging the competitiveness of our wholesaler and would like a few names to compare against. Cheers.

Yes, Heineken for most of of barrels. We buy for a few pubs in the area and sell them on (some of them are tied).

anyone else got a price?

also, could someone please tell me the answers to the following two questions.

1. How do you pay for your stock? do they deliver and give you an invoice which you pay within 30 days or pay at the time of delivery.

2. How often do they deliver?

3. Do they deliver a set order or do you contact them and spec your order.

4. How much redbull/energy drink do you get through?

Fosters 125, Heineken 148


1. How do you pay for your stock? do they deliver and give you an invoice which you pay within 30 days or pay at the time of delivery.
If you want to fill in lots of paper work and personally guarantee an account, you can do this. We pay cash on delivery, helps get rid of cash on site.

2. How often do they deliver?
Normally weekly, but depends on how busy we have been.

3. Do they deliver a set order or do you contact them and spec your order.
We call in the order, can change a lot from week to week, depending on the punters

4. How much redbull/energy drink do you get through?
We use cans and post mix energy drink. The post mix energy drink is much cheaper and most people seem to mix it with something and don't notice. I have tried it, tastes ok to me (Ben Shaws), but some people always want a can. As for volume, just depends, some nights nothing, other times a dozen slabs.

Just looking in to it myself - hence wondering if anyone else had. I'll let you guys know how I get on.
