The OpportunityA great opportunity for a motivated operator who is prepared to grow an already established business. The Wide Mouthed Frog currently trades as a bar and restaurant with rooms with a varied menu to include Cullen skink, steak pie and curries.
Currently, only Airbnb is used so there is huge potential to extend the reach of your audience by listing on Booking.com and other various OTA's. This would significantly increase the existing accommodation turnover.
Our clients trade with the current operating hours to suit their needs however, these could be extended easily and especially during the summer months. Our clients social media is also limited and therefore offers an opportunity for an ingoing operator to improve the online presence to drive turnover.
