Unlocking Higher Margin Uplift for a Nordics Coffeehouse Chain

Consumer & Retail

Opportunity

The client faced significant challenges in pricing strategy and menu architecture . Their pricing methods and tools had not evolved alongside their impressive growth, resulting in inefficiencies and missed value capture opportunities.

Challenges

  • Product portfolio lacked consistent review
  • Uncertain price positioning
  • Declining volumes
  • Complex bundling and irregular pricing structure

Outcomes

In 2 months of collaboration, we introduced structured pricing methodologies, competitive analysis, and optimised bundling strategies, resulting in an estimated £1.2m–£1.6m annualised margin uplift through refined price points and strategic bundling, ensuring long term value realisation.

This project leveraged proven methodologies in Food and Beverage, supported by strong project management and extensive pricing expertise. We utilised a broad range of data points to build a strategy based on solid hypotheses rather than intuition. The approach ensured adaptability and collaboration, optimising value within existing resources while addressing pricing challenges effectively.​

Why It Matters

Understanding what your customers value and how much they’re willing to pay is key to turning that value into revenue. When price and value are aligned, businesses don’t just improve profits—they build stronger customer relationships.
