WHAT’S THE CATCH?*
AND OTHER FAQS
*Spoiler alert: there isn’t one.
-
No. DrinksBox never purchases or owns stock. We connect suppliers directly with on-trade buyers and facilitate the entire order process from the transaction through to delivery.
-
DrinksBox turns the relationships you build into orders. List a standard price for all customers or agree pricing with any on-trade outlet and upload customer-specific deals to the platform so they can order instantly. DrinksBox does the rest. We manage the logistics and admin, delivering within 3 days and paying you within 7 days, while you maintain direct relationships with your customers and keep more of your margin.
-
DrinksBox gives operators a smarter way to buy drinks, built around six key benefits:
Faster ordering through a smart, intuitive e-commerce platform designed to save busy operators time.
Wider choice with access to an unrestricted marketplace where customers can discover exciting challenger brands alongside established favourites.
More competitive prices and personalised deals by allowing suppliers to reinvest returned margin into pricing and seamlessly offer customer-specific deals.
Cashback loyalty that allows operators to earn DrinksBox-funded loyalty credit on every order, redeemable against future purchases.
Seamless logistics and trusted delivery powered by DrinksBox technology and LCB’s proven nationwide network, consolidating orders and ensuring reliable fulfilment, supported by experienced customer support.
Better stock management with live stock visibility, automated alerts and tools that help operators avoid missing items and manage inventory more efficiently.
-
No. DrinksBox consolidates products from multiple suppliers at bond and delivers the customer’s full order in one delivery. This provides efficient logistics for customers while allowing suppliers to maintain direct relationships with them through the DrinksBox platform.
-
DrinksBox earns a commission on the order value (ex VAT). Suppliers simply build this into the price they set for the customer on the platform.
-
Products must be stored within the LCB bonded warehouse network. LCB has over 30 years’ experience in alcohol logistics and provides the nationwide delivery capability that allows DrinksBox to offer single-bottle to multi-case orders with Day 1 for Day 3 delivery across the UK.
-
There isn’t one. DrinksBox is simply drinks distribution reimagined. Built by founders who have worked as distributors, brand owners and senior brand managers, the platform is designed to release more value to both suppliers and buyers – because we understand that those businesses are the lifeblood of the UK on-trade.
