During the latest salon SuccessFood, three issues facing restaurants today\u00a0were laid out before industry experts. Let\u2019s consider the issue of \u201cround-the-clock\u00a0dining.\u201d<\/p>\n
Here\u2019s a well-established offering in luxury hotels. One should be able to eat\u00a0whenever one feels like it. Open bars in the lobbies will likely be the priority\u00a0dining sites during the day, not to mention one\u2019s hotel room, where the room\u00a0service offerings allow clients to eat at any hour of the day. In response to\u00a0changes in daily rhythms of living, meal times have become fragmented over the\u00a0course of the day, thereby adapting to available times and creating new\u00a0opportunities for business.<\/p>\n
Here, too, hotels must adapt and remain flexible. The client experience should\u00a0not be compromised in the slightest. It is not a punishment to lunch at 3 in the\u00a0afternoon. It should not be perceived as such, and may we avoid seeing the\u00a0pursed smiles of servers who clearly show no desire to serve their clients. I recall\u00a0one time when I was obliged to ask for a dish at the bar, where, reasoning that\u00a0there was room service in the room, I asked if the barman could offer me one of\u00a0the dishes from the menu. This presented an inconvenience to him, since it\u00a0meant he would have to go to the kitchen, which was far from the bar, and he\u00a0was alone at his post. In other words, a 5-star hotel that couldn\u2019t provide the\u00a0means for its staff to satisfy the needs of its clients.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
