One of the best things about being a BSL user is that I can communicate at a restaurant or a pub when it is very noisy. Before I was a signer, I had been to many family gatherings where I would be very quiet at the table as I could not hear anyone's conversation and I could not follow anything. Not being a quiet type, But now this has all changed when I am with family or friends who can sign. #SignLanguageFun #LearnSignTogether #CommunitySigning #SignLanguageJourney #DeafCultureLearning #TogetherInSign #SignLanguageCommunity #SignLanguageLove #InclusiveSigning #SignLanguageConnections

"Popcorn" – the snack that puts the ‘pop’ in ‘popular’ snacks to eat at the cinema. Why is popcorn and a movie such a great combination, though? We’ll start with which came first. By the mid-1800s, popcorn was already a popular snack food, sold at circuses, fairs, and on the streets. There was one place it wasn’t sold at that time, though – in the cinema. Cinema hadn’t even been invented, yet. Even when cinema started to become more and more common in the early 1900s, popcorn still hadn’t found its way into movie theatres. In the early days of cinema, movie theatres tried their best to recreate the luxury of a traditional theatre. With luxurious seats and carpets like a traditional theatre, eating was not allowed in early movie theatres. In the early days, cinema was an art form for well-educated, wealthy people. This was in part supported by the need to read. Silent movies relied on screens of text to deliver important developments and background to the story, which meant that only literate people could enjoy it. It was the advent of movies with sound in 1927 that started making cinema accessible to the masses and they wanted to bring their snacks into the theatre with them. Street vendors spotted this chance and started selling their popcorn outside cinemas. Eventually, the cinema owners themselves spotted this as a money-making opportunity and started selling popcorn themselves. From the point of view of the cinema owner, it was perfect. Popcorn is cheap to produce on a large scale and no special skills are needed to make it. Also, the tempting smell of cooking popcorn is a more effective advert than any drawn sign. For the audience, too, it was ideal for eating while watching a movie – you can eat it with your hands and it won’t distract you from watching. So, that’s why people eat popcorn at the cinema. It’s a simple, practical snack that audiences enjoy and that cinema owners can make a large profit from. It took a while to make it into the cinema, but now it’s there, popcorn is something we couldn’t imagine watching a movie without. And guess what? The 19th of January is the National Popcorn Day in the USA.

HOT TAKE ... In an attempt to make the pub “A little bit of everything” we have lost the inherently pub like offer that made it singular in the first place. ... In American {Dive} Bars "You can make conversation with the Bartender at ease; your drink will never be empty if you choose. ... The team will move with purpose and speed, there will not be endless beer taps in the middle of the bar making it impossible to get served. Local offerings will not require a mortgage to purchase. You will feel as if your existence in the bar is integral to the experience rather than an inconvenience. Most importantly - The product will actually taste good and be delivered with a smile… You will be made to feel welcome; your story will be interesting (even if it’s not) and you will feel engaged by the experience. "Once you spend enough time in bars in the US system the offer, service and delivery are matched perfectly to expectation and maybe that’s what we need to focus on." https://wix.to/A1LXSQW #newblogpost #hospitality #bars #restaurants #foodwriting #blog #hotelmanagement #restaurantmanagement #writing #hospitalityindustry #drinks #peoplemanagement #reallife #hottake

For anyone attempting dry January, you might want to skip this one. ‘The Drop’ is the latest addition to Jameson Irish Whiskey’s international brand campaign ‘Widen the Circle.’ Featuring comedian Aisling Bea, the new spot is based on the idea that life is enriched by the magic of authentic human connections. The 30-second film, tells the story of how a drop of Irish rainwater makes its way through the distillery, getting triple-distilled into ‘the smoothest Jameson Whiskey’ before being transported around the globe to ‘widen the circle, one drop at a time.’ What do you think of this ad? #whiskey #marketingcampaign #marketingstrategy #marketingagency

Picture your favorite sports bar. What's in it? Big TV's. Good sound system. Good bar food. Cold beer. But what else? The best ones do the little things right, every time. All the big games are on. All of them are situated strategically on TV's where no matter where you're sitting in the venue you can see the game you came to watch. All have back-up plans in case someone asks for a game to be on a particular TV, the TVs can get re-situated for optimal viewing. All recognize the biggest and most sought after game as the one with the game sound on through out the venue. All have great service. Any one can open a sports bar and have the first list of items I mentioned. Not everyone can consistently execute on the little things and that is what the difference is between a sports bar and great sports bar. #restaurant #hospitality #hospitalityindustry

Great Initiative by Mukta Arts / Cinemas. A Family of 4, Spends more than Rs. 2000 on a film outing which includes Parking+Ticket+Convinience Charges+F&B. Movie watching is not just cinema experience, It involves time, money, Me time wali feeling and much more. But high costs are big big turn off, Resulting in chosing and watching only selected movies. And I'm not talking about premium Cinemas, Recently even #KaranJohar mentioned this in one of his interview: Excerpts "Johar said in a roundtable with The Hollywood Reporter India that an average consumer reduced their outings to the movie theatres to 2 times a year. He added that the average spending of a family of four can come out to be Rs 10,000 if they decide to go for a movie outing." *Courtesy business today A family who used to go to movies 2-3 times in a month. Hardly watches a movie once in a month. Thats not good for business and mostly hurting low budget good movies. You reduce ticket & F&B prices, and see the results. All the best to Mukta. https://lnkd.in/gcGz5rjh #Mukta #Cinema #Bollywood #F&B #Costs #FamilyOuting #Entertainment #Movies BookMyShow
