Procurement Savings for Restaurants, Resorts & Yacht Clubs

CLUB360 is an exclusive cost-savings program from CORE Insights Group, a procurement consulting firm, and the enterprise-level national contracts it draws on cover the categories every hospitality operation buys: food and beverage, facility maintenance, uniforms and linens, office and administration, and retail. That is why the same program serves resorts and independently owned hotels, restaurants, country clubs, and yacht clubs, all under the same terms, including no cost to join and no membership fees.

Who does CLUB360 serve beyond golf clubs?

Three audiences, each buying from the parts of the program that fit how it operates. The full picture lives on the resorts and hotels, restaurants and yacht clubs pages; the short version:

• Restaurants, multi-unit and independent restaurants: the kitchen, the dining room, the bar, and the back office.
• Resorts and independently owned hotels: every corner of the property, front of house to back.
• Yacht clubs and similar member venues: the galley, the club rooms, and the club store.

What does a restaurant get from a club purchasing program?

The largest and most active area of the whole program is a commercial kitchen, so a restaurant walks into privileges already built for it. The Food and Beverage programs cover broadline food and supply, over 100,000 contracted items with controlled mark-ups, drop-size incentives, and multi-tiered pricing, plus the beverage and alcohol program, tabletop, smallwares, and commercial kitchen equipment. The facilities side handles uniform and linen rental, cleaning services, and facility maintenance, and the Office & Administration programs carry the back office.

What do resorts and independently owned hotels get?

Cost-saving supplies, equipment, and service programs for the entire property. The Clubhouse, Pool, & Fitness programs map directly to a resort: pool, spa, and fitness supplies, outdoor furniture and FF&E, landscaping, and the full facility-maintenance and services range. Food and beverage covers the restaurants and banqueting; administrative, professional, and financial services cover the front desk and the executive offices, a category where administrative services carry one of the highest estimated savings rates in the program, around 23.8%. Savings vary based on use of the CLUB360 programs. Properties that keep grounds or a course also draw on the Turf & Agronomy programs.

What does a yacht club get?

Purchasing support from the clubhouse to the marina. The galley and the bar run on the food and beverage programs; the club rooms run on the clubhouse programs: cleaning services, facility maintenance, pool and fitness supplies; and the club store draws on the Pro Shop & Retail programs for apparel, headwear, and custom-logo gifts from recognized brands.

Same program, same terms

Whatever the property, the terms do not change: no cost to join and no membership fees, savings built in at the point of purchase rather than returned months later as rebate checks, a dedicated CLUB Advisor who learns the facility, and no compliance mandates or forced volume commitments. The program spans more than 500 best-in-class programs across back-of-house and front-of-house spend, and it stays voluntary throughout: the operator uses the programs that fit and skips the ones that don’t.

How does a hospitality operator enroll?

The same five steps, whatever the property. Sign up online through the short enrollment form, no paperwork required. A CLUB Advisor reaches out within two business days to review your needs and current vendors, maps your spend to nationally contracted suppliers (or equivalents), and builds a customized savings plan around the most advantageous programs. Benefits then start immediately at the point of purchase. Operators who want to talk it through first can reach a CLUB Advisor directly.
