I remember in the 1990’s while studying hotel and catering management going on a ‘behind the scenes’ tour of TGI Fridays in Covent Garden. I was in awe of their cocktail trading programme and food production protocols, their attention to detail and how the waiting on and bar staff were so highly trained. It was a brand that you associated with great food, fun and fabulous service - the ingredients for success… But… Sadly yesterday’s experience was overcooked potato skins. Chicken so char-grilled it was inedible and charging £16 for cocktails and claiming it’s buy one get one free! No wonder the place was nearly empty! I can’t hide my disappointment at a brand I so admired,summed up when a 16 year old won’t eat their burger! However it was a great lesson for him to learn as a trainee chef on how food not cooked well can make you feel so disappointed. What happened to the standards and protocols? What happened to the incredible customer service and highly trained bar staff? I’m such a huge fan and advocate of #hospitality but these are the issues when hospitality owners wonder why nobody is returning or they haven’t got the bookings. I don’t come on here to dash anyone’s reputation or brand, but sometimes brands / businesses need a nudge and a reminder to go back and revisit those training standards and protocols… I will be a wedding guest at my own venue in a few weeks time and will be eagerly looking at my experience from a customer perspective to see where my business can improve, after all feedback is the breakfast of champions … #diningexperience #entrepreneurlife #hospitality #standards #feedback

🖥 Over the past week, I have been super busy meeting new people, connecting on virtual meets with coffee, and having discovery calls on a variety of topics, systems, and innovations 💡 I will admit that, whilst I did take time out in previous roles to discover what is going on in the world of hospitality, I now feel [with the conversations that I have had recently] that I didn’t do enough of it 🌎 In one of those meetings, I met with Kilian Ulm, Chief Business Officer at Axon Vibe, who walked me through the work they do with leading global public transport agencies and how, by using the agencies’ official travel apps and their user reach, they can not only track and predict user travel patterns but also reward those users with offers at hospitality venues on their upcoming routes, [predicted through AI] 🥨 He talked me through the work they have been doing with the Deutsche Bahn Zugportal app, which has recently evolved into the DB Regio Guide app. Axon Vibe power the customer loyalty and satisfaction feature, which rewards frequent travellers with exclusive benefits, including digital vouchers for discounted pretzels and/or complimentary drinks from Brezelbäckerei Ditsch GmbH. The results they drive are compelling, with conversation rates upto 35% 🥇 Uniqueness and consistency are key attributes for brands but, just as important, is being competitive – having the ability and attitude to push boundaries, to innovate, to be on the front foot and ahead of the curve [and the competition]. I think this technology is really clever, super interesting as a footfall driver, and has competitor advantage written all over it 🔋 Axon Vibe powers local store marketing campaigns in the London Bus app, and they are currently offering trials for businesses and/or brands that are front-runners, competitive, and up for it 📹 The clip below shows peak time travel in a part of London by any mode; walking, cycling, car and not just public transport. Axon Vibe know and predict where potential customers spend time, how often, and reach them through push notifications 🚍 Perhaps this is a bus you can’t afford to miss [pun intended]? It's worth connecting with Kilian for a discovery chat #restaurants #qsr #fastcasual #OpsEx #operations #operationsdirector #projectmanagement #operationsexcellence #consultancy #marketing #localstoremarketing 👋 I'm Jay, and I am a Hospitality Operations Specialist I have worked across international & national markets, franchise & equity systems, public & private equity companies, and in over 20 brands in pubs, pub restaurants, hotels, Grab & Go, and QSR sectors DM me to arrange a meeting and a chat [no obligation], and to enjoy a coffee together ☕️ #opentowork

Hotels and BnBs are due to fill, get ahead and get in touch with StayForWork 🏘 High demand: During the summer months, many people go on vacation, leading to increased demand for rooms. This can result in operators filling up quickly, especially in popular tourist destinations. Limited availability: Some hotels may have limited availability during the summer, as they may already be fully booked or have limited rooms left. This can make it difficult for traveler's to find accommodations that suit their preferences and budget. Higher prices: Due to the high demand for hotel rooms during the summer, prices tend to be higher compared to other times of the year. This can make it more challenging for traveler's to find affordable accommodations. Events and festivals: Summer is a popular time for events, festivals, and other activities that attract large crowds. Hotels in the vicinity of these events may be booked up in advance, making it harder for traveler's to secure accommodations. Longer planning times: Many people plan their summer vacations well in advance, sometimes months ahead. This can lead to fewer last-minute options for those who are still looking to book a hotel room during peak summer months. Overall, the combination of high demand, limited availability, higher prices, and longer planning times can make booking hotels difficult during the summer. It is advisable to book accommodations as early as possible to secure your preferred hotel and avoid the risk of being left without a place to stay. ☎️ - 0121 769 1949 📧 - Hello@stayforwork.co.uk

In this clip from the 5 Star Conversation with Joost Heymeijer from Toast Hospitality Advisory, he reflected on the term "innkeeper" as the purest embodiment of hospitality. Joost believes that the essence of being a hotelier is captured in the humble and straightforward role of an innkeeper, whose primary duty is to care for the overall well-being of guests. He emphasised that the simplicity of this term conveys the true spirit of hospitality without the need for elaborate titles. By focusing on this core principle, Joost advocates for a return to the basics, where genuine care and simplicity are at the heart of the profession.

🎤🏨 Taylor Mania: Boost Your Hotel's Revenue During Major Events🌟 As Taylor Swift's concert in Vienna demonstrates, major events can significantly boost local hospitality demand. Tickets are sold out, and Vienna's hotels have experienced a surge in bookings. This is an example of how major events can boost both revenue and occupancy rates. Here are some strategic tips to capitalize on such opportunities: 𝐄𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐂𝐚𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐚𝐫𝐬 📅 Stay informed about upcoming events in your city. High-profile concerts, sports events, and festivals can attract thousands of visitors. Plan your marketing and pricing strategies around these dates. 𝐃𝐲𝐧𝐚𝐦𝐢𝐜 𝐏𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐢𝐧𝐠💲 Adjust your room rates based on demand. Implement dynamic pricing models that allow you to increase rates as event dates approach and demand spikes. Ensure your pricing remains competitive yet maximizes profitability. 𝐒𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐏𝐚𝐜𝐤𝐚𝐠𝐞𝐬 🎁 Create event-specific packages. Include transportation to the venue, early check-in, late check-out, or themed amenities. Tailored packages enhance the guest experience and encourage longer stays. 𝐂𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐋𝐨𝐜𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 🤝 Partner with local businesses and event organizers. Offer exclusive deals for event attendees or collaborate on promotions. This not only increases your visibility but also provides added value to guests. 𝐎𝐩𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐢𝐳𝐞 𝐎𝐧𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐞 𝐏𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞🌐 Ensure your hotel is easily found online when people search for accommodation related to the event. Invest in SEO, update your website with event-related content, and utilize social media to attract potential guests. 𝐆𝐮𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐄𝐱𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 😊 Focus on delivering exceptional service. Event attendees are likely to return if they have a memorable experience at your hotel. Positive reviews and word-of-mouth can drive future bookings. 𝐋𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐠𝐞 𝐃𝐚𝐭𝐚 📊 Analyze booking patterns from past events. Understanding peak booking times and guest preferences can help you refine your strategies for future events.

Are you in hotel sales? Then you will get this video and have a nice giggle 😄. When I was on property sales, it was always great to collaborate and participate in brand sales missions. Whether it was Hilton or Marriott brand sales missions ….. They were always a lot of fun. Lots of great friendships came out from these activations. I can think of a couple of examples right Cholo Reyes or Jayme Mitchell or Subin Menon ? Lol What are some good memories from you have from conducting sales missions with other sales professionals? Happy Saturday 👊🏼 And remember…… Nothing Happens Until Somebody Sells Something- my favourite Hotel Equities Value. #hospitality #hotelindustry #hospitalityindustry #sales
