  • Compared to opening a traditional restaurant, creating a cloud kitchen will not cost you a fortune. And after you’ve constructed your virtual kitchen, it’ll be even easy to expand. Cloud kitchen businesses don’t need to rent or buy a lot of space when they grow; hence scaling up is possible with low investment.
  • The most significant benefit of the cloud kitchen business is eliminating costs such as restaurant space, decor, dining tables, chairs, high-end cutlery, and electrical fixtures
  • A cloud kitchen may operate many brands or digital restaurants within one roof by sharing the space
  • A cloud kitchen business model is flexible and can change the menu; cuisine’s themes much easier than the dine-in restaurant. If a cloud kitchen finds some menu item not very profitable, the same can be swapped without reprinting the menu and avoiding extra cost.
  • Food aggregators charge anywhere between 20-30% of commission,
  • The ambience and interactions with the restaurant staff are two factors that contribute to consumers being more engaged to a restaurant

  • With its pervasive stay-at-home orders, mandated dining room closures and persistent labor shortages, COVID-19 has only accelerated this trend.
  • DoorDash, Grubhub and UberEats dominate the market
  • “At the start of the pandemic, there was a rush for every restaurant to do their own ordering app, which is like everybody trying to do their own internet,” Quinn said. “Restaurants quickly realized that their efforts were better spent elsewhere, and many opted into the larger ecosystems that third-party delivery services provide.”
  • Shortly after its launch in 2013, DoorDash decided to migrate its IT infrastructure to a cloud-native solution, which allows it to quickly scale as it continues to grow. It also gives the company access to various cloud-based applications that help it collect, track and analyze data about its customers’ ordering habits — a trend that’s sweeping the restaurant industry and informing creative strategies for combatting losses due to COVID-19, according to Quin
  • Ghost kitchens — sometimes called virtual or dark kitchens — allow restaurateurs to cut costs by foregoing real estate, labor and dining room expenses in favor of small, focused operations that prepare food in shared commercial kitchens exclusively for delivery. Companies like UberEats use delivery data to help restaurants determine where market opportunities exist.
  • n recent years, digital ordering kiosks and tablets also have become popular, and full robotic kitchens might not be far behind. This fall, for example, White Castle will deploy Flippy, its first robotic fry cook. Halal Guys and Applebees, meanwhile, are in the early stages of testing DrinkBot, a robot that mixes pre-set beverages in just 20 seconds. Even autonomous delivery robots have hit the streets in big cities and college towns across America

    This article investigates the adoption of cloud computing in the hospitality industry across the world. While identifying the benefits and challenges of this system, the findings suggest that cloud computing is utilized in hotel groups today, more often than not. The article is not an opinion piece but rather an investigation searching for evidence to support the theory that cloud computing is growing in the hospitality industry. It bases its arguments from the observances that in order to operate a hotel group on todays scale, you have to be willing to fall in line with the trends of today- technology + convenience. It also is described how operating systems that streamline property management in terms of reservations, billing, ticketing, etc aren't exactly inventions of right now, but have been developed and corrected more and more as time has gone on and necessity has demanded of them. Four hotel groups, across 2-3 regions were involved in the study where participants were all senior IT directors and managers, across hotels with varying levels of rooms. What they ultimately found was that majority of the information systems used by these hotel groups were based on the cloud system. When the benefits and challenges were surveyed, it was found that the most common reason groups were utilizing this system was relieving the site from not having certain hardware to perform certain functions, and transferring security related risks to the system suppliers instead of the hotel. However, challenges noted was that operating expenses increased, the on site IT leaders don't have access to the environment the hardware lives in, and information security concerns. Working with a cloud computing system daily, I thoroughly understand and appreciate the benefits of having one streamlined services for guest logistics. It creates multiple levels of ease for all aspects of the organization as well as the wider hotel group. For operations that span across the globe, there probably i

    This article explains how PMS, property management system, is integrated to manage and grow customer loyalty independent hotels. It is no secret that some of the best loyalty programs keep guests coming back to the same company/hotel. They attract these guests by incorporating a strong loyalty program that provides rewards, incentives, and exclusive access to certain amenities. It is believed that this is what is needed to attract more bookings that were lost during the pandemic in 2020 up until today. The way to most effectively do so is by integrating a PMS system that allows guests to grow the relationship with the hotel during every transaction and interaction they have prior to, during, and post their stay. There needs to be much more than free wi-fi integrated in hotels as loyalty access as it is becoming so popular that it is not considered an exclusive access feature. Hotels should offer incentives for those who book repeatedly, like free nights, credits at the hotel's restaurant, premium guestroom amenities, hotel spa, and much more. Guests like to feel special, and doing so will guarantee their return to this hotel brand as they want to indulge in this experience every single time.

  • Cloud is a model of computing where servers, networks, storage, development tools, and even applications (apps) are enabled through the internet. Instead of organizations having to make major investments to buy equipment, train staff, and provide ongoing maintenance, some or all of these needs are handled by a cloud service provider.
  • With a public cloud environment, users "plug into" the data and applications via an internet connection giving anytime, anywhere access.
  • Cloud is often pay-as-you-go, where you only pay for what you use. Think about how a utility company meters how much water, electricity, or gas is used and charges based on consumption. The cloud is the same.
  • ...16 more annotations...
  • Services can be requested and provisioned quickly, without the need for manual setup and configuration.
  • Cloud often uses the multi-tenancy model. This means a single application is shared among several users. So, rather than creating a copy of the application for each user, several users, or "tenants" can configure the application to their specific needs.
  • Cloud platforms are elastic. An organization can scale its resource usage levels up or down quickly and easily as needs change.
  • Before cloud computing, companies had to store all their data and software on their own hard drives and servers. The bigger the company, the more storage they needed.
  • This way of treating data is not scalable at speed
  • t's not just businesses that benefit from cloud computing. The cloud has transformed our lives as individuals as well.
  • cloud technology means that companies can scale and adapt at speed and scale, accelerate innovation, drive business agility, streamline operations, and reduce costs.
  • The first thing to consider is the deployment model—public cloud, private cloud, hybrid cloud, and multi-cloud. The next element is the service category—Saas (Software as a Service), Paas (Platform as a Service) and Iaas (Infrastructure as a service). When a company is considering its cloud migration strategy, it must consider both factors.
  • using an internet connection to access computing resources hosted on data centers managed by a third-party cloud service provider, rather than owning and maintaining these resources on-premise
  • hyperscalers.
  • organizations concerned about sharing resources on a public cloud.
  • A private cloud environment gives you complete control over data and securit
  • IaaS is the simplest option for businesses. With IaaS, an organization migrates its hardware—renting servers and data storage in the cloud rather than purchasing and maintaining its own infrastructure.
  • PaaS is a popular choice for businesses who want to create unique applications without making major financial investments.
  • SaaS is the most commonly used cloud application service and is becoming a dominant way for organizations to access software applications.
  • Hybrid cloud eliminates reliance on any single cloud provider and allows for additional levels of flexibility in terms of capabilities, security compliance, etc.

    The article I chose is about the cloud. The cloud as its described in this article is a model of computing enabled by internet access that connects servers and networks to the public without the need to purchase large expensive equipment or staff to perform maintenance, and rather pay a monthly fee where this along with other services are performed. In this article we are given step by step instructions on the cloud computing environment and there five key characteristics. From internet access to measured service, on demand self-service, shared recourse pooling to rapid elasticity, the cloud encompasses many things and if you were like me, unsure of the what the cloud is and its functions, here is a is a step by step manual on the cloud and what it can do for you.

Beyond increased loyalty, employees with profit-sharing options are more likely to take ownership of their role in the business and improve productivity.
  • Your Wi-Fi should be a secure network users must log in to before using. Make the username and password easy to find. Also, alert guests about possible security risks, such as connecting to public Wi-Fi networks nearby that don't require a password.
  • A straightforward update is an in-room safe. It's easy to come up with relevant items to stash inside, especially when traveling. Guests can stow essential documents, passports, collectible coins, souvenir gifts and more.
