    Selling into Ireland

    Do not size for restaurants

    Restaurants are a smaller part of Ireland than elsewhere; plan the pitch around the outlet types that lead here.

    Build a bars and pubs list first

    Bars and pubs weigh more in Ireland than elsewhere; give them their own list and pitch.

    Pair visits with group deals

    Chains and groups run more of the market in Ireland than in most countries (91% independent, median 96%), so a few head-office agreements can open many doors at once.
