  • Restaurant operators don't go into this business to be technologists
  • technology has proven so fruitful for restaurants during the pandemic that analysts are now urging the restaurant industry to permanently embrace solutions like cloud computing, artificial intelligence and machine learning to diversify their revenue streams, collectively bargain, and provide a safe experience for guests and employees alike.
  • In the last five years, restaurant delivery has grown 20 percent

  • 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

  • A cloud kitchen uses food aggregators and online apps to take food delivery orders and have cut off the dine-in space busines
  • ...6 more annotations...
  • 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.
  • A cloud kitchen may operate many brands or digital restaurants within one roof by sharing the space
  • 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 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

Contactless Check-in for Hotels: Here's What You Need to Know - 0 views

hoteltechreport.com/...contactless-check-in

shared by mmart802 on 21 Jun 22 - No Cached
  •  Recent surveys have found that contactless check-in and a touchless journey can help guests feel more comfortable staying in a hotel, with 26% of consumers indicating they want digital room keys and 35% asking for contactless payment options. 
  •  For check-in to be truly contactless, your hotel needs to factor in each step of a guest’s arrival and anticipate the points at which human contact can be prevented or replaced with technology.
  • Mobile check-in solutions help hotels gather customer insights about their guests: learn what their preferences are with a pre-arrival questionnaire, and see which offers and amenities a guest chooses to learn about before their stay.
  • mmart802 on 21 Jun 22
     
    The lodging industry has been implementing contact-free check-in way before the pandemic started. Hotel companies saw that as a solution for the long lines at the front desk and the time wasted signing required documents before receiving your key. Contactless check-in has been proven to be more effective and favorable by many travelers. Guests can now check-in through their phones and even have a digital key to unlock their room. Check-in applications will allow you to learn about the guests' interests in your amenities/ outside attractions which can help companies better the experience for the next time that guests books with them. As these contactless check-in apps are implemented into more hotels, it is best to inform the guests of the process atleast a day before their arrival. Since some might not be familiar with the idea, the companies should guide them on how to check-in through their phone and how to access their key. The more that guests will adapt to doing this, the more that they (and your employees) will be happy.

  • By now, many details of that October evening in Las Vegas are well known: the lone gunman in a 32nd floor suite atop the Mandalay Bay Hotel, the arsenal of firearms, the terrified concertgoers below.
  • For the first time in Coachella’s 19-year history, organizers used surveillance drones to monitor the vast grounds of the festival.
  • A separate Gallup poll taken days after the Las Vegas shooting found that 39 percent of Americans are “very” or “somewhat” worried that they, or a loved one, will be a victim of a mass shooting.
  • ...7 more annotations...
  • The Las Vegas attack was, however, the first mass shooting at a hotel in the U.S., and it served as a reminder that attacks on entertainment events are a worldwide emerging threat
  • The attack Paddock carried out — from a hotel with robust security and a state-of-the-art surveillance system — left many industry insiders and security experts stunned.
  • In a 2017 Gallup poll, 38 percent of U.S. adults said they were less willing to attend events with large crowds out of concern the events could become a terrorist target.
  • For months ahead of the festival, a security company called Emergence also trained Goldenvoice security and police officers in “predictive threat analysis,” a security technique that focuses on spotting signs of trouble and disrupting attacks before they take place.
  • And as security costs for hotels and event promoters increase, concertgoers in the U.S. may see slightly higher ticket prices
  • Police say Stephen Paddock planned his attack in Las Vegas at least a year in advance. In the days leading up to the shooting, Paddock was able to bring more than 23 rifles into his hotel room, set up a hidden camera in the hallway outside of his room, and drill L-brackets into the 32nd floor stairwell door and his suite to delay police from entering.
  • After the shooting, Wynn Resorts, Hilton and Disney Resorts all changed their internal policies regarding do-not-disturb signs
  • artandmer on 20 Jun 22
     
    High profile hotels near large events have had to respond to events such as mass shootings since the 2017 Las Vegas attack where a guest used as hotel room to carry out the shooting. Concert venues and large hotels are now using surveillance drones and predictive threat analysis to enable their staff to recognize patterns that could indicate signs of trouble. Security costs at large venues are expensive, and they are being passed on via ticket prices. Hotels need to evaluate their need for an active shooter plan and evaluate their "do not disturb" policies and train their staff to alert management when they are unable to enter a guest room, or when they recognize something out of the ordinary.

  • artandmer on 20 Jun 22
     
    At some point, we've all probably heard that hotel keycards store guests' personal information and that puts our privacy at risk and perhaps even exposes us to credit card fraud. This is pure myth. Hotels encode the least amount of information possible (a term called least privilege) on a keycard, limiting it to room #, arrival and departure date. The only way anyone's personal information could get onto a keycard is for someone to reuse a hotel keycard to program it as a credit card, and that information would not be obtained from a hotel PMS system.

    Cornell gathered a few industry design and green tech experts to discuss the future of sustainable technology in hotels. Modular hotel buildouts can save construction waste and shorten build times, but developers can rarely afford the investment in sustainability practices that exceed code requirements. I see this daily in my career. The benefits are more long-term and if developers are not holding onto the asset long-term, they will not really see an ROI on LEED certifications, etc. CRMs can be used to track guests' digital breadcrumbs and build guest preferences in its database. Building data collection systems into the infrastructure of the hotel will give owners an overall view of where it can improve its sustainability practices.

    According to Nicole Genchur, almost 5 billion phone users worldwide, including more than e billion smartphone users. As a result, using smartphones has become the perfect time for location-based technologies, advertisement, and marketing. Proximity marketing is a tactic that works for businesses in all industries and of all sizes. Proximity marketing uses customers' locations for marketing a product or a service. Most modern mobiles have GPS technology and cell phone triangulation. Proximity marketing is also known as hyper-local marketing. This technology is a highly targeted form of marketing that lets businesses show promotions to customers within a small local area. Proximity marketing is used by many businesses, which include restaurants and fast foods, retail stores, the traveling industry, and real estate companies. Proximity marketing offers many opportunities for marketing to many businesses because they can personalize the customer experience based on past, present, or future location and behavior. Proximity marketing helps boost sales, offers information that can create customer engagement, and can improve customer relationships.
