Your Business is a "Hospitality Box" and the Customer doesn't come first. That's right - The Customer Doesn't Come First, they come Second. So what does Come First? "Making sure the people coming to work in your organization are having a Great Experience Coming to Work." Customers recognize - "is your Team focused on their work and are they having Fun with each other?" "The way you make people feel, is what they remember more than anything." "Always be Collecting Dots, so you can always be Connecting Dots." The art of hospitality by Danny Meyer, Union Square Hospitality Group - https://lnkd.in/g48a-Hfp

It’s been a week of reflection and creativity. This week, I’ve been deep in conversations with venue owners and managers who are feeling the pressure of today’s fast-moving, competitive hospitality market. With rising costs and shifting guest expectations, it’s no wonder many are asking: “How do I make my space stand out and still deliver exceptional value?” It’s a question I hear often, and one that’s been on my mind as I see the headlines around the economy and the challenges facing small businesses right now. Today we sadly saw the closure of local huddersfield Taproom and brewers Magic Rock. I truly hope this isn't a trend that continues for independents in the industry through the year. I am staying cautiously optimistic. The truth is, with change and challenges, come opportunities. A thoughtfully designed space can make all the difference, not just for guests, but for the business itself. Whether it’s creating an experience that inspires loyalty or designing spaces that improve operational flow, design has a way of addressing problems in unexpected ways. It provides a chance to step back and think outside the box and approach these challenges from a new perspective. The hospitality industry is one that has always risen to a challenge. Its an industry that has always faced changing policy, legislation and shifting consumer expectation and priorities. This week has been focused more on research and deep diving into data analysis instead of drawings, finishes and concepts. Looking into what consumers are searching for from their drinking establishments, ones that maybe aren't seen as the shiny luxury one off treat, but instead the humble familiarity of the great british pub. Seeing what new concepts and ideas can be integrated and how these changes can shift both guest experience and business performance reminds me why I love what I do. It isn't always about appearances and a reminder that behind really good design is strategy and data to back it up.

What industry peeps are joining me in Bellevue today?

New webinar: What Price leisure? Pragma are hosting a webinar on Thursday November 7th at 9am GMT and we'd be delighted if you'd join us. As the roll-out of leisure continues apace across both mixed-use schemes and malls, the property industry is failing to embrace the transformative impact it can bring to schemes and performance. Join Andrew McVicker, Director of Pragma Consulting, together with Neil Serridge, Design Director at Benoy, and John Scott, Founder of Liminal Retail Ltd, as they share their insights and experience of how design, prominence and operational excellence can unleash the spending power of an increasingly experience-led consumer. The webinar will address these questions: - What is the scale and nature of demand for leisure globally? - Which leisure propositions are flourishing? - What are the benefits and ROI of including a leisure element in a scheme? - Where does current provision of leisure fall short? - How can design elevate the performance of leisure and the scheme overall? - What are the future leisure and retail trends to embrace?

Hospitality fluctuates, changes and undergoes constant transformation. I recommend a fascinating article from FRAME, which analyzes several currently noticeable trends - both from the point of view of brand building and design. I have been convinced for a long time that hospitality influences other areas and that this influence is desirable and needed, and this belief is even one of the foundations of MIXD. Maybe I see it more in the offices and co-livings that we design so many of, but this also influences the medical sector for the sake of patient comfort. Private clinics and offices are especially surprising in this respect. Hospitality brands are fighting for customers, to attract their attention - here are few strategies that are also an interesting design challenge - such as all forms of pop-ups or monobrands. And finally, everything that happens at the interface of the physical and digital worlds - on the one hand, attraction and connection, and on the other - searching for ideas that will be a desired commodity in the experience economy. #hospitality #trends #design #interiordesign #monobrands #popups #dining #restaurant #experienceeconomy #experiencedesign #clinics #cafes #digital

Glamping rates are on the rise! Between 2022 and 2024, the average rate increased by 9%, climbing from $310 to $339 per night. This growth reflects strong demand in the outdoor hospitality market and the value guests place on premium, nature-connected experiences. Operators looking to capitalize on this trend can focus on enhancing guest offerings and optimizing pricing strategies.
