Story of Salman and Buddy. In a luxury restaurant, there is a guy named Prince Salman(Not KSA ones, but let's say Prince Salman of Johorean🤣). He comes with a RM 1,000 budget to eat inside. And there is Buddy, a guy that just thought he want to eat there, while just bringing RM 5. In the end, both of them get to eat, but the difference is, Salman enjoys the full luxury of good, healthy and pack of nutrient foods from the restaurant's meal and hospitality, while Buddy just bought some twisties, which is an unhealthy junk foods with cheap flavour at convenience store beside, and ordered a mineral water. This significance is as same as comparing High and Low Limit Medical Coverage. Yes, you can get the medical services from both of it, but don't expect the same luxury. And also, if the bills exceeds the limit, do not expect the doctors to be able to downgrade the services, and you may have to go outside of the Private Hospital to take Public ones instead, just like Buddy's story above. So, if you care about your healthcare, and how people will treat you at that times, make sure to review and make sure the coverage is high enough for atleast 10 to 20 years of relevance.👍 #pendakwahtakaful #foods #takaful #aspirasi1000managers

“Gastronomania” The expansion of international restaurants into Saudi Arabia has been a prominent trend in recent years. Boasting a range of restaurants from around the world, catering to diverse tastes and budgets both in fine dining and street food. Several well-known international restaurant chains have recognized the potential of the Saudi market and have successfully expanded their presence in the region over the years. Saudi Arabia has seen a surge in international chefs and eateries, accompanied by an increasing influx of tourists and expatriates. Each month sees the opening of several high-ended global restaurants and street food joints, underlining the city’s increasing appeal to food enthusiasts locally, regionally and internationally. The increasing presence of international events and entertainment options have made the country more welcoming to diverse culinary experiences. Overall, the expansion of international restaurants into Saudi Arabia reflects the country's openness to global influences, the increasing diversity of its population, and the evolving preferences of its consumers. This trend is expected to continue as Saudi Arabia further develops its economy and continues to embrace international partnerships and cultural exchange. #saudiarabia #restaurantindustry #foodandbeverageindustry #gastronomie

Some recent stuff from me, a LinkedIn luddite, starting with a look at the Gault&Millau eponymous founders and questioning whether they would recognise restaurants today, for Gault&Millau UAE. Read, share, eat.

It is important to involve employees in the evaluation process and encourage them to actively participate. Their feedback is valuable in understanding their needs, challenges and motivations, and adapting our framework accordingly. And, let's not forget that the main purpose of employee performance appraisal is to improve their performance and help them achieve their professional goals. Let's keep this in mind throughout the process and make sure our assessment framework is aligned with the organization's goals and values👍

Eating by myself. What job do I want a restaurant to do for me? Due to the demographic make up of UAE and Saudi populations, more than 1/10th of all eating occasions in both markets are 'solo dining' (Mingora Food Panel UAE/KSA 2024). 'Satisfy hunger or thirst' is the biggest functional need state people eating alone have in those moments. But it is not their top overall need state. The No 1 motivation of people eating alone is the more emotional job they want their chosen restaurant brand to do for them - 'treat myself.' This phenomenon is even more pronounced amongst females than males, and differs by sectors, channels and dayparts. As people are making eating and drinking decisions, they will resonate more to brands whose offerings align with their own need states, just when they pick up the phone to order or drive or walk by a line of restaurants. #foodpanel #datanotopinions #needstates #motivations #ksa #uae #consumerbehavior #research

As a #restaurantowner, When considering opening your new #restaurant, the location you choose will be a killer: look down for the probabilities: bad location - bad food - bad service = no need to explain. Bad location - bad food - good service = serving who? no one will enter. Bad location - good food - good service = waste of time and money, no one is coming. Good location - good food - bad service = you can attract people, and then lose them, but it is in your hands Good location - bad food - good service = you will attract people, they will enjoy your restaurant, but they will complain a lot, fix your quality. Good location - good food - good service= you are a winner. Start with the location that suits your concept. do you agree? tell me your opinion #foodandbeverage #hospitality #restaurantmanagement #businessgrowth #hospitalitycoaching #hospitalityconsulting #saudiarabia #lebanon #jeddah #riyadh
