While food trucks have become extremely popular these days, they have been around as early as the 1800's! Before the gourmet food trucks started to pop up, street vendors selling hot dogs, pretzels and lunch food for office workers have been around for decades. Now with more and more people out of work or people who want the ability to be more creative with their own food with a small budget, food trucks have become more popular. However some cities have restrictions such as Chicago, where a food truck cannot be parked within 200 feet of a restaurant. LA, the government limits the number of permits issued for mobile food vendors because of the street congestion it produces. Permits are also limited because traditional restaurants don't want to compete with the low priced street vendors.

Casino Hits Labor Savings Jackpot with Preventative Maintenance Management | Case Studi... - 0 views
-
Showalter knew that in order to keep guests happy – and willing to make return visits – facility managers in the hospitality industry must solve an array of challenges that range from maintaining glittering casino lights and complex HVAC systems to staying on top of repairs for simple ice machines, kitchen appliances and outdoor sprinklers. Having an efficient way to track those repairs, whether it involves repeat malfunctions in an air conditioner in a guest room or a commercial mixer in the kitchen, is vital to maintenance operations.
-
Showalter bemoaned the fact that in the past engineers would fix problems but without written records of the repair, management didn’t know if they were fixing the same problem. It was impossible to see patterns of repeat malfunctions. “Now with Bigfoot, we can keep track of what’s been done,” Showalter says. “We’ve saved a lot of time by not having our technicians go back to do the same repair job multiple times on end.”
-
Showalter chose to meet his maintenance challenges with the help of a computerized maintenance management system (CMMS). He selected a web-based program called Bigfoot CMMS, produced by the Smartware Group, Inc.

By establishing PMs on guest room assets, Showalter’s maintenance team can quickly address customer complaints, from running toilets and dripping faucets to malfunctioning air conditioners.

This is a great example of Preventive Maintenance systems for a hotel. Before implementing their their computerized maintenance management system (CMMS), it was very difficult for the Silver Reef Casino Management to know the 'history' of the products they were fixing and replacing, and whether this was something they had fixed before. The article also highlights the importance of quality management of rapid response and PM and how it directly relates to the guest relations and satisfaction. I have worked in hotels that offer very little to no PM, and from experience I know this makes everything harder and the service be more reactive than proactive. Hotels that are serious about their guest will definitely have a system to track defects and the work being done proactively.

Coming from a catering and cooking background I was happy to discover how many ways AR is being used. As soon as we started exploring this topic the first thing that came to mind was what an amazing selling tool this would be. Whenever i sit with clients they always ask me if I have pictures of parties we have done and food we have served. Being able to show it to them with a 3D perspective will make it all the more appealing. The goal of your first meeting with a client is to make them excited about what you have to offer and make not decide not to meet with any other caterers! Take it a step further and what an amazing selling tool it would be if you could say take a picture of a persons backyard where the party is being held and you could place a picture of your buffet so they can actually visualize what it will look like. I am very excited about the potential of this technology
