HospoPool does not guarantee savings and does not act as the supplier of goods during the founding pilot.
THE CURRENT REALITY
Independent venues often buy alone.
Large hospitality groups negotiate using the demand of multiple locations. Independent businesses often purchase in smaller volumes, receive inconsistent supplier pricing and spend time comparing offers without clear market visibility.
01
Fragmented purchasing
Separate businesses negotiate the same recurring needs independently.
02
Limited leverage
Smaller individual order volumes can weaken negotiating power.
03
Difficult comparisons
Different brands, formats, delivery charges and terms make quotes difficult to compare.
HOW HOSPOPOOL WORKS
A clearer route from recurring needs to independent decisions.
01
Share selected purchasing needs
A venue identifies recurring categories, product specifications, quantities and current commercial conditions.
02
HospoPool combines demand
Relevant requirements are standardised, anonymised where appropriate and grouped into a commercially meaningful opportunity.
03
Selected suppliers submit offers
Offers are compared across equivalent products, pricing, delivery requirements, availability and service conditions.
04
Each venue decides independently
Every business reviews its own comparison and decides whether to proceed. Orders, invoices, credit arrangements and deliveries remain separate.
THE HOSPOPOOL PRINCIPLE
Combined leverage does not mean centralised ordering, invoicing or delivery.
Separate decisions
Separate orders
Separate invoices
Direct deliveries
FOR INDEPENDENT VENUES
The buying power of a group, without giving up control.
Each participating business keeps its own supplier account, order, invoice, payment terms and direct delivery — with the freedom to accept or reject every opportunity.
Stronger commercial leverage
Access supplier offers informed by combined demand.
Independent decisions
Review each opportunity and participate only when it suits your business.
Comparable offers
Compare equivalent products, formats, delivery terms and total costs.
Less purchasing friction
Reduce repetitive supplier research and organise recurring requirements more clearly.
Savings are not guaranteed. Results depend on product specifications, existing arrangements, participating volume, location and supplier offers.
FOUNDING PILOT
Help shape the first HospoPool purchasing groups.
HospoPool is inviting a limited number of independent hospitality businesses to participate in the founding pilot.
Free pilot participation • Early access to supplier opportunities • Input into first purchasing categories • Confidential comparison of selected purchasing information • No mandatory purchasing volume • No obligation to accept an offer • No general exclusivity requirement
Venues continue paying suppliers directly for goods they choose to order. Joining the pilot does not itself create a supply contract.

FOR SUPPLIERS
Compete for structured demand, not disconnected enquiries.
HospoPool presents selected suppliers with defined product requirements and aggregated demand from independent venues. Each supplier retains control over account approval, credit terms, fulfilment, invoicing and delivery.
Clearer product specifications • Several potential commercial accounts • Aggregated demand visibility • Lower repetitive sales effort • Regional delivery opportunities • Direct supplier relationships with successful venues

TRUST AND DATA HANDLING
Commercial information deserves serious protection.
Individual invoices and prices are not shown to other participating venues. Supplier-facing data should be aggregated or anonymised where practical. Access is limited to authorised HospoPool personnel and service providers required to operate the pilot.
Never upload bank login details, card numbers, staff records, customer information or unrelated confidential documents.
Members should remove unnecessary bank details, card information, tax file numbers and unrelated personal information before submitting documents. Information is retained only for the stated purpose, legal obligations and dispute management.
