Greene King is selling 150 pubs due to unprecedented costs affecting the hospitality sector, according to CEO Nick Mackenzie. The decision follows a review of the company's estate and aims to address rising costs and changing consumer behavior. Mackenzie emphasized the need for long-term government reform on business rates and taxation to support the industry. Despite challenges, Greene King reported a revenue increase to £2.5bn and plans to open a new brewery next year. The company hopes the upcoming World Cup will boost sales as consumer confidence declines.

Greene King selling 150 pubs over ‘unprecedented costs’, boss says

Greene King is implementing AI assistants, named "Charlie," to answer phones at select pubs as part of efforts to enhance efficiency amid rising operational costs in the hospitality sector. This move comes as the industry faces challenges from tax increases and new labor laws. While some patrons find the use of AI unsettling, others see it as a way to allow staff to focus on in-person customer service. Greene King is also planning to sell 150 pubs and restructure its operations in response to changing consumer habits and economic pressures.
