Hospitality has played a great game over recent weeks, and it seems to be winning. But as we know after experiences in recent years, anything can happen in this game. So, is the hospitality sector winning or losing and will it see a bigger difference through the knockout stages of the Euros? With the added blessing of a mini heatwave in the UK and the Euros being held in Germany (hello to all our German colleagues) it means games are being shown at good times for us fans and hospitality providers in the UK. The Men’s UEFA Euro 2024 Spending Report by VoucherCodes.co.uk (see the link in the comments) also reveals that 14.4m Brits will watch at least one match at a pub, bar, or restaurant during the competition – a 115% increase from the last men’s major international tournament. UK hospitality venues are predicted to make £217.3m from food sales and £396.5m from drinks sales. That’s 110.3m pints of beer and cider, 36.1m glasses of wine, and 10.9m Aperol Spritz, roughly. That’s an extra 20M pints and an extra £94M in revenue. Giving a much-needed boost to the Hospitality sector over the period of the Euros. All of this is a bit like bringing on Ronaldo, Mbappe, and Bellingham off the bench, all at the same time with 20 mins to go and needing a winning goal. UKHospitality has said that the Euros group stage could give a boost of £340m in increased sales, and up to £800m if England reach the final! (And yes, we know, it doesn’t happen often but in the name of Hospitality we’re keeping our fingers crossed). So, whether England do eventually bring it home or it’s another nation lifting the trophy, let’s hope hospitality wins, with bars and restaurants across Europe buzzing with fans eating, drinking and enjoying the beautiful game. One thing is for sure, it seems that venues in the hospitality sector need to make sure they’re staffed up, their glass and dishwashers are in good form and make the most of the coming weeks. The hospitality sector deserves it. Whoever you’re supporting in the knockout stages… we’re supporting you.

In our ongoing series on the European Championship 2024 we look at similarities and differences of the countries playing. ⚽ Both Belgium and Romania have a rich history and are members of the European Union. Both countries have a vibrant cultural scene, evident in their architecture, festivals and culinary traditions. Belgium, a small country with a flat landscape and a multicultural capital, contrasts with Romania, which is characterized by its larger size, and beautiful, mountainous landscapes. Belgium 🇧🇪: French fry paradise: Belgium claims to have invented French fries and takes them very seriously. You can buy fries on almost every street corner in “friteries” or “fritkots”, often with a variety of sauces. Belgian fries are so popular that there is even a museum dedicated to them - the Frietmuseum in Bruges. 🍟 Beer bonanza: Belgium is famous for its beer culture and has over 1,500 different types of beer. Some beers are brewed in monasteries by monks using secret recipes that have been handed down over the centuries. Belgian beer lovers claim that there is a beer for every occasion - even for the breakfast table! 🍺 Tri-Cultural tapestry: Belgium is uniquely divided into three cultural regions, each with its own distinct culture, traditions, and even language. This diversity contributes to Belgium's rich cultural and culinary tapestry. 🌍🌎🌏   Romania 🇷🇴: Sarmale delights: Romanians love their traditional dish of sarmale, stuffed cabbage rolls, so much that it is served on almost every public holiday. They hold a significant place in Romanian culinary traditions and are enjoyed by people of all ages throughout the country. 🤤🎊 Salt Palace: Romania is home to the impressive Salina Turda, a huge salt mine that has been converted into an underground leisure and health center. Visitors can slide down giant slides, ride an underground Ferris wheel or go boating in a salt lake. 🧂🚣♀️ Lucky charms: Martisor is an ancient tradition observed on March 1st and involves exchanging small tokens, typically red and white strings with decorative charms or small trinkets attached. These Martisor tokens are believed to bring good luck, health, and prosperity for the coming year. A joyful and colorful tradition. 🍀 How do you think each country will represent themselves through their team? 🌎⚽ #globalmobility #hrconsulting #championship #belgium #romania #culturehackers #culture

Check out this short recap video of one of our most ambitious projects—collaborating with the incredible ONE65 San Francisco chefs team for the International Catering Cup 2023 in Lyon, France. Our mission? To create a street art-inspired tabletop that would showcase their world-class dishes. But this wasn’t just about aesthetics—we had to engineer a fully functional, backlit display, built in 10 separate pieces, so they could disassemble, transport it across the world, and reassemble it seamlessly on competition day. It was a challenge far beyond our usual expertise, but we were determined to make it happen. And then, the moment of truth—Team USA, Pascal KAMIN and Clement Goyffon (coached by Michelin-starred Chef Claude Le Tohic), stood victorious, claiming first place against 11 other nations! Seeing our work on that stage, knowing we played a small part in their success, was nothing short of surreal. An unforgettable journey of hard work, creativity, and passion—one that still gives us chills today.
