𝐌𝐲 𝐒𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐲 𝐨𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐨𝐛𝐬𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐅𝐞𝐞𝐝𝐛𝐚𝐜𝐤𝐬: I was home this Sunday and was looking at our first feedback form long back in 2018 when we launched our first product. Even if it feels messy and uncomfortable as a perfectionist, I feel it serves founders well to put out a version 1 of the product as soon as they possibly can and not wait for months and months to perfect it. 𝐏𝐒: 𝐎𝐮𝐫 𝐟𝐢𝐫𝐬𝐭 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐭 𝐰𝐚𝐬 𝐁𝐨𝐭𝐭𝐥𝐞𝐝 𝐂𝐨𝐥𝐝 𝐏𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐞𝐝 𝐉𝐮𝐢𝐜𝐞 , 𝐰𝐡𝐢𝐜𝐡 𝐰𝐞 𝐝𝐨𝐧𝐭 𝐝𝐨 𝐚𝐧𝐲𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐞 The best feedback for your product or service will always come from the users of your product. I have realised that for a founder, it is important to see things from the other side of the counter too I often do this and assume myself to be a customer of my own product and ask myself different questions: - Did I like this product? - Did I face some service issues? - What are other people around me saying about this product? - Am i actually pricing it right? I believe standing on one side of the counter and on the other side of it is like experiencing two entirely different worlds. From time to time, it is important for founders to be on the customers' side to ensure they are serving their customers the best. #customerexperience #founders #customerservice #linkedinforcreators #horecaexpo #gulfood #hotelsandresorts #hotelsupply #cafe #restaurantindustry #restaurantmanagement #restaurantsupply #zomato #hyperpure #petpooja #posist #foodandbeverageindustry #foodbusiness #beverageinnovation #beverageindustry #swiggy #cloudkitchen #chefs #nrai

No concept fails It's the strategy that doesn't work It's true I can guarantee every country Has a successful concept like yours But have you got these bits right? --> Socio-economics --> Location --> Product --> Brand --> Tone of voice --> Pricing --> Values Because let's look at the pizza 🍕 Everyone loves pizza right? Right! But not every Italian restaurant works And that's not down to concept is it? So when you are looking at what can work Follow these steps; --> Research obsessively --> Listen to the locals --> Walk the area --> Run the numbers --> Ask 'why!' --> Ask 'what if?' Don't rush the process It will cost you in the end And no one wants to spend more than they have to Who agrees? 🙋🏼♂️ #innovation #success #hospitality #hotels

Welcome to the first guest post for Bull’s Eye Trends 🎯 Each month, we’ll be sharing exclusive trends, predictions and tips from experts across media, social and beyond. 🔮 Opening up for us is Secret London's Samuel Barker with his culinary predictions for 2024: "What really stood out to me about 2023 was the increased focus on the food that makes those who cook our food passionate. Passion projects and specific niche food loves were granted space and time to thrive and become beloved. In turn, London’s food scene has seen an increased focus on ultra-specialised food venues, even outside of market stalls. Cult-status market vendors like Sonara and Pockets have opened up brick and mortar locations that still demand extensive lines. We’ve also seen the opening, return, or impending opening, of the likes of Kinkally, De Nadas Empanadas, Auld Hag, and Ruben's Reubens. "What seems likely to continue in 2024 is a continually flourishing market scene of exciting, very specific cuisine, and small venues with even smaller menus where a lack of selection is made up for by sheer quality." #FoodTrends #2024Predictions #2024trends #BullsEyeTrends
