"Where do you see yourself in 5 years" is a question many of us constantly ask ourselves.   Five years ago, I was working for ARAMCO and used all my savings to open TAKARA.   Unfortunately, shortly after opening, COVID hit and forced us to close down.   I vividly remember the words of one of our waiters, who is now one of our fearless leaders, on the day we reopened to the public.   He said, "Boss, the worst is behind us.   Now we will turn this place into the best restaurant in Saudi Arabia." It took TAKARA a lot of passion and hospitality to achieve just that.   Today, we were honored with one of the most prestigious hospitality awards worldwide, "Best Restaurant in Saudi Arabia," by The #worldculinaryawards2024!   We are accepting this recognition with humbleness and understanding of the responsibility it represents.   Being "the Best" in something means that you need to always be at the top of your game, but also it means that you need to continuously challenge yourself and your team to improve and become "even better”.   If there is one thing I have learned from the hospitality industry, it is that the competition is intense and everyone is always improving – and you should, too. Today, we celebrate, but from tomorrow, we have 364 days ahead to prove that we are still the best.   Who knows, maybe next time we'll be among "the Best in the World." #saudivision2030 #saudimade #saudiarabia #sauditourism #saudiprojects #saudibusiness #AmbitionandProsperity #ministryofculture #ministryoftourism #takarahospitalitygroup #gea #

A lot of investors are asking my thoughts on the Hospitality Scene in Saudi Arabia and what I would do to ensure success in this ever evolving industry. This is my answer: Standing out is more crucial than ever. It's not just about the food and drinks anymore—it's about creating memorable experiences. Here's why offering more can make a difference. To all Restaurants and Hospitality operators as well as Owners: Enhance Guest Experience: From live music to art displays, extra touches turn meals into memories. Train your teams: Understating when is the right time to ask questions without interrupting a conversation at the table, goes a long way. Stand Out: Unique offerings set you apart, making your establishment the go-to spot. Boost Revenue: Diversify with merchandise, private events, and workshops for additional income streams. Build Community: Become a hub where people gather, share, and return. Social Buzz: Unique experiences are share-worthy, amplifying your reach online. Sustainability: Align with eco-friendly practices to attract conscientious consumers. Retain Guests: Variety keeps guests coming back for more. Transform your restaurant or café into a destination that offers more than just a  coffee or a meal. It's time to create a space where dining, community, and unique experiences meet. #HospitalityInnovation #GuestExperience #BeyondDining
