Interesting piece to read what are your thoughts

Someone from our team was traveling out of town and was invited to play a private club with a member. While the golf experience was excellent, the meal left so much to be desired. It was simple soup and sandwich stuff. The service was poor and disinterested. The meal was average at best. There was one paper menu to be shared for the table. There was no salt and pepper on the table, no flowers or decor. Nothing was recommended, nothing suggested, and with only one other table occupied, the server had to be chased down at the end of the meal. The fixes required to take it from poor to even just above average were so simple - nearly cost-free, and would have ended the day like it started (warm and inviting) instead of how it ended (apathetic and less-than.) In this case, it was (quite literally) the taste-in-your-mouth when when departing. Does your guests' experience stay steady throughout - does it accelerate with hospitality or stutter to a halt? #clubs #countryclubs #hospitality #service #secretshopper #golfindustry

I had a great time at The Cut & Craft Restaurants Leeds last week, capturing a flythrough video for their first birthday party. This fly-on-the-wall style video we produced for their social platforms helps share the restaurant experience. Thank you to Oscar Akgul and Darioush Shahidi for trusting us to capture this event. I think our drone video helps to fully showcase the Leeds restaurant. 🌟 Here's why FPV drone flythroughs are a game-changer for restaurant marketing: 1️⃣ Unmatched Cinematic Quality: Our FPV drones capture breathtaking aerial views, sweeping across your establishment with dynamic precision. The result? A mesmerizing video that's sure to make an impact and grab your audience's attention. 2️⃣ Immersive Experience: These flythroughs provide potential diners with a unique way to explore your restaurant, almost as if they were there in person. The ability to glide through your space gives them a real sense of what to expect and stirs up their curiosity. 3️⃣ Highlight Key Features: FPV drones effortlessly navigate around your restaurant, showcasing the ambiance, interior design, outdoor seating, unique features, and more. Let your venue shine in its full glory! For example, the highlight for me is the ornate bar at C&C Leeds. 4️⃣ Shareable Content: These immersive videos are highly shareable across social media platforms, helping you reach a broader audience and creating buzz among potential customers. Your fans become your brand ambassadors! 5️⃣ Differentiation: In a crowded market, FPV drone flythroughs set you apart from the competition. It's the 'wow factor' that can make your restaurant unforgettable.

Pioneering within F&B can be challenging especially when you choose Stadia. But let’s turn the clock back twenty years ago when Stadia Catering generally in U.K was pretty Errmm basic (I am choosing my words carefully). So back in the day at City of Manchester Stadium at SportsCity, where I spent twenty amazing years as Consultant. Well we had a tough bold real scary commitment to driving great F&B and Culinary achievement, it was paramount, it was relentless. Each day felt like a relationship of salt or sugar. Funds were scarce so any change, improvement in F&B or betterment had to be delivered without ‘brass’. It felt like most days, most matches we tried, introduced, attempted, trialled and had ago at a multitude of new creative innovations. We set light to the industry where we saw and spied our competitors visiting very often (in disguise). But back to 2024 and I was wandering around a tiny sweetie shop recently which brought a smile to me. I remembered Manchesters ‘crazy gang’ of David, Neil, Lee, Keith, Robert, Simon and more, my role was simply the excuse. Well we designed our mobile sweetie trolley which would trundle around knocking on the door of sixty plus private boxes overlooking the pitch. Weighing scales, paper pages, jars, scoops and those quality old fashioned sweets, the lot and fans customers loved it. My point being it cost next to nothing, but the cost of not doing it was far more to us all due to the culture we had formed. In summary it cost nothing other than bl**dy desire. Mine will be sherbet lemons, torpedoes, pineapple chunks and gobstoppers please! www.johnbensonsmith.com #stadiumcatering #cateringconsultants #foodandbeverageindustry #footballbusiness
