What does Playoff Hockey do for a City? - Part 1

The BCRFA (British Columbia Restaurant and Foodservices Association) is advising their members to be ready for Playoff Hockey. 

Here's what to expect if you're in a Hockey town.

Two years ago, we helped the BCRFA understand the impact of playoff hockey on the restaurant industry.  It was covered by most of the major media outlets in Vancouver and even had some national coverage.

In 2007, we saw a jump of between 10-40% in sales for each playoff game.  The average increase was 23% and was seen across the board from full service to pubs to quick service and delivery.

More stats will be available tomorrow morning after the first playoff game for the Vancouver Canucks.

For now, here's a link to the story that ran in 2007 in the Vancouver Sun.
