Hiring in hospitality is tough—and it’s only getting tougher. As Badiani 1932 continues to scale, they face the same challenge as many in the industry: acquiring and retaining top talent. As Niccolò puts it, “The labour market, especially here in the UK, is becoming more challenging to attract new talent, and we need it because we are a growing company.” With rising labour costs, including the increase in minimum wage coming this April, hospitality operators are under more pressure than ever to balance hiring, retention, and profitability. The question is: how do you keep teams happy while keeping labour costs under control? Some of the best operators are finding success with Nory—empowering teams, improving efficiency, and reducing labour % without sacrificing quality. 📖 See how they’re doing it 👉 https://lnkd.in/edg_Ks28 #hospitality #restauranttech #businessgrowth

Your team doesn’t hate new tech. They just hate bad rollouts. If you’ve ever introduced new technology in a restaurant and been met with eye rolls, resistance, and frustration, you’re not alone. 😅 Change is hard—especially in hospitality, where routines are second nature, and teams are already stretched. But here’s the thing: tech isn’t the problem—buy-in is. With 20+ years in hospitality, Paul Tanner, MD at CUPP, has led multiple restaurant teams through change. He’s seen what works (and what doesn’t) when it comes to getting employees on board with new systems. 🔎 What makes or breaks tech adoption? ❌ Ignoring initial resistance ❌ Choosing tech that’s hard to use ❌ Failing to train teams properly ✅ Involving staff in decisions ✅ Incentivising adoption ✅ Making the system work for them Paul shares real lessons from experience—practical steps to turn scepticism into engagement and make tech rollouts actually work. 📖 Read it here 👉 https://lnkd.in/eehaWXDN

Scaling a handcrafted product like gelato isn’t easy—especially when you’re obsessed with quality. Every ingredient, every step in the process, and every decision matters. 🍦 At Badiani 1932, quality always comes first. But how do they maintain that precision while scaling across multiple locations? We partnered with Badiani to custom-build an AI-powered CPU (lab) that meets their exact needs—ensuring the right amount of ingredients, minimising waste, and keeping quality consistent. The result? A six-figure saving and more time to focus on what really matters: bringing joy to customers. 🎥 See how they do it 👉 https://lnkd.in/eg_WG8Bz #gelato #badiani #gelateria
