OK so I said I would be doing this a little more regular but hey ho the first quarter of the year has been quite turbulent and positive. January saw a massive spike in sales and also was a good time to introduce the Dojo Restaurant Management System which we can fully install and is dead simple to use. Integrates into Google Reserve and with Dojo Card Terminals you can take deposits. Two great features you also get are the marketing tool and reporting so you can see what your customers are doing and engage with them.
Feb saw the traditional slow month, with it being dark and customers still recovering from Christmas and the slow no show January that follows. Nobody wants to spend in January and it is not until really moving into March when the days get lighter, Christmas becomes a distant memory and people want to get out that things start picking up. Now it is down to the weather! So March was really busy then Easter holidays cause a bit of disruption but people are now more out and about so sales pick up.
Energy prices are still dropping slowly and so it is a good time to come out of those 1 year contracts and start saving money. Being a mild winter meant that less gas and electric was used.
Telecoms still seeing FTTP being delivered across the country but I doubt that 2025 deadline will be met everywhere being such a large undertaking and there are pockets in streets and areas that are getting missed for various reasons. All new orders now come without voice and are internet only, so you will need an IP Solution (which is good).
