Since 1929, The Elgin – as it’s known by locals – has provided the kind of casual pub-going experience that Melbourne celebrates with gusto. For long-running establishments like this, it can feel safest to adopt a business-as-usual attitude: retain weeknight specials that the regulars love, steadily increase prices with no substantial change to the offer and rely heavily on seasonal bookings and functions.
Owner Geoff O’Mara and the Elgin team learned, through a recent Insights Report from A+, that seasonal dwell time data showed an underperforming outdoor dining space. The A+ Advisory team recommended an overhaul of the venue’s courtyard space that is weatherproof and destination-worthy, ensuring year-round visitation.
I've never been this excited about data.
