Competitive buying strategies

Better buying strategies for hotels

Saving you money every day on hotel supplies.

Maintaining competitive pricing is a big challenge for independent hotels and small chains. It’s hard coming up against the big groups with their economies of scale and massive buying power but Lynx can help.

We level the playing field with a service that gives you access to the many suppliers you need to run your hotel, from fresh food to guest amenities. On your behalf, we negotiate better prices and offer you more choice so you can find a supplier that’s the right quality and the right price for your hotel.

With Lynx on your side you and your managers can confidently plan ahead, have better controls over purchasing costs and maximising your margins.

Ensuring the best quality

The devil is in the detail

When you run a hotel, quality is all important. Front of house is where guests really notice it, whether it’s the finest Egyptian cotton sheets, the best organic preserves for breakfast or the finest leaf tea in their cup. Back of house, quality may mean something different. You may not need the biggest brands, but the food, products and equipment you buy still have to deliver value and meet customer expectations.

Hotel supplies

Every hotel has to work hard to stay competitive, and we can help you buy the quality you need, both front and back-of-house, at prices that help you stay in control of your costs. Lynx Purchasing can source the best hotel supplies at the right price, from the bacon and eggs on your breakfast menu to the tea and biscuits on your hospitality trays.

Comments from our clients

"Lynx Purchasing provides a service bespoke to our needs in order to deliver not only competitive pricing in the marketplace, but also the product and quality we aim for. I wholly trust them and their method of charging for their services is not only fair, but the best way for a growing business to have its own purchasing manager."

"Lynx has allowed us to rationalise our purchasing procedures. Not only have they been able to source the high quality specialist products that we require, they have managed to do it at a better price than we could find on our own. Having the pricing secured and the suppliers in place is a key step in our future growth, meaning we can focus our attention where needed."
