Mitchells & Butler

Since two Midlands families came together to form Mitchells & Butlers in 1898, they’ve grown to become the leading restaurant and pub company in the UK. Mitchells & Butlers have always been pioneers in the pub industry and grew gradually until they were running 7,000 pubs in the 1980s. Now, they serve around 135 million meals a year, as well as some 435 million drinks. Every year, they spend over £1billion across eleven key categories including food, drink, technology and corporate facilities, and driving an innovation agenda is one of the three key strategic priorities. Innovation takes place at all levels of the business from a single product and process development to organisation-wide digital strategy.

As such, Mitchells & Butlers are interested in meeting tech startups with an application in hospitality that either offer opportunities to unlock value by facilitating agile integration with their digital, growth and new channels strategy, or which provide innovative solutions at the product or process level across the hospitality supply chain.
