Case study: Nightcap Group

Nightcap Group is one of the UK’s fastest-growing hospitality groups, bringing together some of the nation’s most-loved late-night brands, including The Cocktail Club, Tonight Josephine, Blame Gloria, Dirty Martini, and The Piano Works. Focused on great drinks, great music, and high-energy experiences, Nightcap is revitalising the UK nightlife scene through smart growth, standout concepts, and unforgettable nights out.

As a hospitality group, its venues require flexible and efficient waste management solutions. We’ve partnered with Nightcap Group and their 12 venues across the South West, Wales, and the Midlands to deliver a bespoke waste management service tailored to the group’s unique operational needs.

The challenge

Operating high-volume waste venues, Nightcap venues needed a reliable, responsive partner to manage the core service:

  • Limited storage space at sites, requiring flexible and frequent waste collections.
  • Weekend-heavy operations with high waste volumes – collections are needed at weekends when many contractors do not operate.
  • Ongoing support, they needed a waste management partner that’s able to provide support outside of regular 9-5 hours.

Our solution

We provided a bespoke, service-led waste management solution built around Nightcap venues’ operational realities:

  • Bespoke waste management solution: We designed a tailored waste collection schedule for each venue to accommodate weekend-heavy operations and limited storage space, ensuring collections are done when needed.
  • Comprehensive multi-provider schedule: leveraging our extensive network of trusted contractors to cover each location effectively on various dates.
  • Responsive, ongoing support: Our dedicated team provides hands-on communication, with out-of-hours availability and proactive query resolution.

Our approach prioritised service quality and reliability, ensuring Nightcap’s busy venues could operate smoothly without logistical interruptions.

The results

  • Significant service improvements and reliability across all 12 regional sites.
  • Optimised waste management collection schedules to match the venues’ unique needs and operations.
  • Reduced operational distractions by managing multiple contractors on behalf of the client and by providing ongoing, proactive support.

The next steps

With a strategic waste management service structure now in place, Nightcap Group maintains smooth operations across the venues. Our partnership ensures their waste management services remain as dynamic and reliable.
