Solutions to the golf supply chain crunch

As a golf club operator, you’re acutely aware of the supply chain challenges hitting the industry.

Our best defense against these challenges is to prepare adequately and work with industry partners to find the best solutions for your business.

A good place to start is with your golf club procurement practices. With a GPO partner, you have easy access to data, insights and a vast supplier network to inform sound purchasing decisions. You can:

• Work with a GPO partner like Entegra to forecast your needs and stay on budget. Get detailed spend reports, making it easier to plan for precisely what you'll need to serve members and guests. Our experts, with their many years of experience in the field, can work with you on preparing for potential shortages as well.
• Purchase locally. You’ll shorten lead times for goods and services as well as support your local economy. A good GPO partner has a wide selection of local and direct suppliers to widen your options.

The logical next place to turn is your kitchen, where small changes can make a big impact.

• Plan for shortages and have a list of substitutes. Stay in touch with your GPO to learn what suppliers are predicting shortages so that you can pivot as early as possible.
• Strengthen your team’s culinary creativity and by partnering with a GPO with a strong operational team like Entegra. Our operational team works with clients to develop menu solutions that satisfy both guest and margin goals.
