LBA Hospitality’s Post

Thank you for your advocacy Dani Valent. When it comes to genuine political changes for small businesses in Australia, I recently asked my local Federal MP to table the motion for GST reform in food businesses. Changes could be one way to soften the crippling blow being dealt to the hospitality industry. 💡 My idea is this: Either remove GST from restaurant prepared food, or add GST to the raw goods. Removing GST from each transaction will support SME cash-flow by reducing the quarterly GST bill. And this is certainly the preference. If the cost of goods are GST-inclusive this could make it a more even playing field for the operators that purchase items GST free, transform the food item into a meal and then charge GST on the final product. Any GST incurred during this process can be claimed as a deduction. ‼️ Why does the SME sector bear the brunt of the cost of living crisis, when fossil fuel companies get huge subsidies? I feel it’s time to level the playing field for SME. Australian Restaurant & Cafe Association | SmartCompany | Broadsheet Media | moemina shukur

Geography question: What's the only UK city to have been awarded World Heritage status not once, but twice? 🤔 Well, I can tell you. Because I was there yesterday, at the latest The Delegate Wranglers® event at Macdonald Hotels & Resorts magnificent Bath Spa Hotel. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐period gloriousness, from the unexpected exclusive tour of The Roman Baths to a five-course culinary adventure (yes, we were indulged with appetisers and sorbet on top of starters, mains, and desserts). And paired to mouthwatering perfection with a different wine or champagne per course. Big shoutout to our host and much loved hospitality industry legend Peter Shrigley.🙏 And the hotel's heartbeat Benice Hampton.

Business is not about the building or the revenues. Business is about people. When you make people happier, you create value and purpose. A business is a group that can consistently create value. A manager, is someone who helps others make people happy/create value. How are you creating value today?

Day 4: Start a Hospitality Service (e.g., Catering or Lodging) Idea: Hospitality is a thriving industry, and starting a service like catering, lodging, event planning, or a food delivery business can be both rewarding and profitable. This venture allows you to serve others with warmth and excellence, meeting their needs during life’s most memorable moments—be it weddings, family gatherings, corporate events, or travel. By embracing hospitality as a business, you reflect biblical values of kindness, generosity, and care. Whether you're crafting meals, providing comfortable accommodations, or organizing events, your work can create meaningful experiences that leave a lasting impact. Bible Verse: "Do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers, for by doing so some people have entertained angels without knowing it." (Hebrews 13:2) This verse reminds us that acts of hospitality are opportunities to extend God’s love to others. Your service can be a ministry, offering people not just comfort but also a glimpse of God’s grace through your kindness and attention to detail. Prayer: Lord, let my work reflect kindness and generosity to all. May my hospitality service bring joy, comfort, and blessings to everyone I encounter. Help me to operate with excellence, integrity, and a heart for serving others. Amen. #business #BibleBusinessIdeas # bisinesswithGod

When you’re building your target guest personas to inform your hotel’s brand, design, and service DON’T SLEEP ON THE LOCALS. Omitting the community from your consideration is a HUGE missed opportunity to diversify and increase your revenue streams, not to mention feel like a reflection of the destination to travelers. Here’s three examples of boutique hotels listening to the community to build a strong, symbiotic relationship that ultimately strengthened their brand and increased their ADR. 🛎️ Soul Community Planet (SCP) Hotels in Hilo listened when the community expressed frustration over a local swimming beach that was overrun with trash. For every guest that stays at SCP Hilo, the hotel cleans 2.2lbs of trash off the beach. 🛎️ When the only bakery in Sturgis, South Dakota closed, Hotel Sturgis opened one in their lobby, so that the local community could still enjoy fresh baked breads, pastries, and more. 🛎️ The Madrona, in Healdsburg, CA, decided to put non-Sonoma wines on their menu. A rarity for restaurants in the area who were catering to travelers, and not the locals who quite possibly tire of only having one option. How can you listen to your community when building your menus, service, and programming? #hospitality #brandstrategy #community
