  • Staff Discounts

    Staff Discounts

    The Enterprise team is excited to launch a new till system across all food and beverage units w/c 3rd July.

    This follows a great amount of work from many teams over numerous months, to select, develop and implement this new system.

    The team has taken the opportunity to carefully censor-check all product pricing as items and recipes are loaded into the new database.  

    Following this careful review, the temporary trial of a higher, 50% rate of staff discount specifically for food made at the Museum will end on 3rd July. Staff discounts across all food and drink products (with the exception of alcohol, where no discount exists), will revert to the standard 25% discount.

    Thank you for your cooperation.
