Dance or die? 🕺 UK nightclub closures underscore a broader trend: the shifting nightlife preferences of Gen Z. We examine the contributing factors and how hospitality businesses can adapt. #NightclubClosures #Nightlife #Hospitality #Business

As a business owner, it’s incredibly important to be aware of changing consumer behaviours. It’s equally important to have your finger on the pulse when it comes to viral moments in pop culture. This can be what sets your foodservice business apart from others and ensures that you don’t seem out of touch to your customers. We’ve just seen Taylor Swift sweep the nation on the Australian leg of her Eras tour. It was a perfect example of a viral moment that foodservice businesses should be tuning into. How might you be able to capitalise on the public interest in something like this? Over the past month we’ve seen venue’s create themed menus around the Eras tour, some have renamed their venue for the weekend, and even decorated their space in Taylor Swift-themed decor. Live music is back in a big way post-pandemic, and Aussies are leaning in to it with costumes and themed events; they’re making long weekends out of concert experiences. So, whether it’s Luke Combs and country music, Blink 182 and a rock concert, or Taylor Swift and the Eras tour, use these moments for your business to capture the imagination and interest of your customers. It’s more important now than ever! #consumerbehaviours #foodservice #foodserviceindustry #foodlogic #customers #trends #industrytrends #taylorswift #lukecombs #blink182 #eras #erastour #australia #viral #viralmoments

Summary: Read the room; there's a time and a place for process I rocked up last night in Berlin for a few days of work. I'd spent all day at the CogX summit at the Royal Albert Hall and then got a late night flight. It meant I didn't get to my hotel until 12:30am, tired and ready to sleep. As I entered, I was greeted by a friendly receptionist who said: "Hello Mr Aranki, we've been expecting you, you are our final check-in of the day". That was lovely 😊. He then proceeded to give me the full check-in process, showing me around the hotel, informing me of all the timings of all the services and showing me up to the room. This took 30 minutes and wasn't so lovely 😬 I'm all for customer service but at times like that, use your EQ and realise what the person in front of you values most. This is something we could all do with doing more often; we shouldn't always just follow the process. Read the room, put yourself in the other person's shoes, be more human and even better things will flow #effectiveness #StartupLife #SmallBusinessOwner #PositivePalestinian #WorkTravel #Berlin #BeMoreHuman #EQ #EmotionalIntelligence #DontAlwaysFollowTheProcess

📌The Secret Ingredients of Great Hospitality This video beautifully captures the essence of “unreasonable hospitality” in business—the art of creating unforgettable experiences that go beyond expectations. Whether it’s turning a champagne cart into a Budweiser cart or arranging a special trip to Central Park, these gestures create lasting connections and enrich human relationships. This approach resonates deeply with me—it’s not just a strategy; it reflects my belief in transforming transactions into meaningful experiences that build trust and loyalty. I strive to prioritize human connection and exceed expectations. Let’s all embrace this mindset to foster stronger relationships and drive innovation in our teams and industries. #UnreasonableHospitality #CustomerExperience #BusinessSuccess https://lnkd.in/dDQB_nsX
