Terms GBI will pay CDS £50 000 (fifty thousand pounds) by way of development/ up-front fee for the territory. The development fee will be payable on the signing of the International Development Agreement (“IDA”) and a) GBI will pay CDS a Royalty fee of 6% of top line sales (net of VAT and Other sales taxes) and b) The GBI will pay CDS a Restaurant opening fee of £15 000 (fifteen thousand pounds) on the opening of each CDS Restaurant Should the GBI sub franchise any of the new stores, then the GBI will pay 50% of the fees as outlined above. GBI will complete initial market research in the territory as specified and approved by CDS Background information on CDG CDG is the operator of nearly 300 UK mid-market restaurant brands including Café Rouge, Bella Italia and Las Iguanas, and is one of the UK’s leading, most established and fastest- growing restaurant groups. It is home to some of the most successful and recognisable all-day dining brands. Las Iguanas o Is a South American based restaurant brand which draws on the colour palette of the tropics, fresh and homely food and a vintage Latin culture. There are currently 55 operating restaurants in the UK. Café Rouge o Café Rouge was launched in London back in 1989. Today, Café Rouge is the only established French casual dining brand in the UK. o Now with over 90 restaurants in the UK, and a newly opened site in Dubai, UAE, the brand serves six million meals each year. Bella Italia o A contemporary Italian dining experience, with over 110 restaurants, and more opening all the time, serving authentic Italian food coupled with generous portions means that Bella Italia has the formula for success.

  • 2015 Festival Organizers and Staff
    Welcome from the President ELCOME TO THE 29TH ANNUAL Great Taste of the Midwest. At a time when we probably should be over- whelmed by the explosive growth of the craft beer industry, we are too busy trying to figure Wout how to make this event a better experience for all. To that end, we are excited that we have maintained the same foot- print as we’ve had in past years, but have added more brewer space, by moving our merch tents and adding a few new tents to a previously restricted staff only area of the park (inside the “loop road”). This allows us bring in some new brewers while continuing to bring back the brewers that you come to expect to see at the Great Taste of the Midwest. I would like to thank Great Taste Chairman, Mark Garthwaite and the multitude of volunteers that make this event happen. We are all very proud that this is the only event of this size that is run by a 100% volunteer effort. Their passion for beer is a large part of what makes a volunteer effort of this size a success. I would also like to thank all of the Brewers that come to the Great Taste of the Midwest. All of “our” passion for beer flows from their passion. As the event has grown and produced more return Brewers each year, we’ve come to think of the Brewers as family coming home every year on the second Saturday in August. Sadly, I have to acknowledge the passing of several MHTG members since the last Great Taste.

  • Youth Culture and Nightlife in Bristol
    Youth culture and nightlife in Bristol A report by: Meg Aubrey Paul Chatterton Robert Hollands Centre for Urban and Regional Development Studies and Department of Sociology and Social Policy University of Newcastle upon Tyne NE1 7RU, UK In 1982 there were pubs and a smattering of (God help us) cocktail bars. The middle-aged middle classes drank in wine bars. By 1992 there were theme pubs and theme bars, many of them dumping their old traditional names in favour of ‘humorous’ names like The Slug and Lettuce, The Spaceman and Chips or the Pestilence and Sausages (actually we’ve made the last two up). In 2001 we have a fair few pubs left, but the big news is bars, bright, shiny chic places which are designed to appeal to women rather more than blokes with swelling guts. In 1982 they shut in the afternoons and at 11pm weekdays and 10.30pm Sundays. In 2001 most drinking places open all day and many late into the night as well. In 1982 we had Whiteladies Road and in 2001 we have The Strip (Eugene Byrne, Venue Magazine July, 2001 p23). Bristol has suddenly become this cosmopolitan Paris of the South West. That is the aspiration of the council anyhow. For years it was a very boring provincial city to live in and that’s why the music that’s come out of it is so exciting. Cos it’s the product of people doing it for themselves. That’s a real punk-rock ethic. (Ian, music goer, Bristol). Contents Contents 2 List of Tables 5 Introduction 6 Chapter 1.

However, changes in consumer tastes and the way diners engage with restaurants, alongside increasing use of technology, provide opportunities for growth if properly harnessed The UK casual dining sector is going through a challenging period with margin pressures mounting as a result of higher labour costs, higher business rates and increased food costs. At the same time, consumer confidence is falling, with inflation and sluggish wage growth beginning to squeeze disposable incomes. Notwithstanding the challenges facing the sector, we see some key consumer trends emerging that casual dining operators can capitalise on in order to prosper in the current environment. These include a desire for more healthy eating, informal and experiential dining experiences, as well as increased consumer focus on food provenance and sustainability.
