The Model T first rolled off assembly lines late in 1908, and — given the relative newness of mass-produced automobiles — we can probably forgive Henry Ford’s acerbic response that “[one] can have any color [they] want, as long as it’s black!" when asked about alternatives.  When it comes to healthcare financing (and unlike 120-year-old assembly lines or 50-year-old SNL skits), you deserve more choices than a single color or one type of cheeseburger 🍔 (cheeseburger, cheeseburger!).  At benefEx benefit consulting and Mitigate Partners, we’ll help you customize and personalize the colors and meals that best serve YOUR unique business needs — making your employees happier and healthier in the process — while ALSO improving your bottom line…

35% of Germans consider price as a decisive factor when it comes to purchasing food and beverages 🥗🍗 Food culture has played a pivotal role in people's lives for centuries. According to ECDB, German consumers reveal a high sensitivity to prices when making #food and #beverage purchases. It underscores the increasing importance and demand for innovative solutions, especially within urban settings. The integration of technologies such as kitchen robots and other new concepts opens up opportunities for companies to better cater to the needs of customers. This landscape paved the way for the Hamburg-based Circus Group, led by CEO Nikolas Bullwinkel. The emerging food-tech company envisions revolutionizing the #gastronomy sector, leveraging innovative robots to craft high-quality meals at accessible prices within small, designated micro hubs. Here's why this strategy is compelling: 📈 Enhanced efficiency: By leveraging kitchen robots and automated processes, meal preparation becomes faster and more efficient. It enables the company to serve a larger customer base while reducing wait times. 👤 Staff relief: Automation of processes reduces the burden of finding staff, which becomes more and more difficult in the gastronomy sector. 🎯 Customer-centric approach: Through the collection and analysis of data on eating habits, companies can craft personalized and tailored offers. It empowers them to address the preferences and needs of consumers with precision. Despite the opportunities, this sector remains highly competitive due to its price sensitivity. Companies must not only differentiate themselves in terms of pricing but also regarding quality, visibility on platforms, or sustainable staffing practices. If you're interested in learning more about Circus' innovative concept and their plans for the future, check out the full episode of "Kassenzone mit Karo" here (in German): https://lnkd.in/dXyYEDkw How do you envision such concepts in the future?

Check out these 5 key takeaways from the book "Unreasonable Hospitality" and its corresponding website on how its principles are crucial for enhancing the hospital experience and improving healthcare systems. 1. Personalized #Experiences: Tailoring unique experiences for patients can leave a lasting impact, akin to offering a simple hot dog in a luxurious setting, creating a memorable experience. 2. Exceeding #Expectations: Going above and beyond what people anticipate can result in exceptional care and attention in healthcare scenarios, fostering a culture of exceeding expectations. 3. Excellence in #Service: Achieving 'unreasonable' levels of hospitality involves being so well-versed that the intricacies of work become second nature, enabling a laser focus on enhancing the patient's experience. 4. Immersive #Education: Providing training programs that delve deeply into hospitality principles through education and role-playing can empower healthcare professionals to effectively implement these concepts. 5. Experience #Design: Intentionally crafting patient experiences can spark extraordinary moments of care that deeply resonate with patients and their families, emphasizing the importance of thoughtful design in healthcare settings. These insights underscore the significance of transcending conventional care approaches to deliver exceptional and memorable patient experiences, aligning with the core of #patient-centered #healthcare and #hospitality practices. #Explore more at https://lnkd.in/gv_KS-Bd.
