Hotel Management Tips to Improve Guest Satisfaction without Cutting Rates

The most consistent factor that goes into continuous guest loyalty is perceived quality. According to recent studies, guest perception of the value provided by hotel management is down in the United States. Here we’ve provided you with a list of what guests value most in order to help you better understand what drives value, how guest preferences have changed over the past year, and how to improve hotel guest satisfaction.

Adequate Room Lighting: It is fairly simple to get hotel room lighting right – or wrong. Lights that don’t work correctly are obvious, disappointing, and even more aggravating, which in turn drops value perceptions. When a guest complains about lighting, it should be fixed immediately, not ignored.

Internet Access: In 2012, a USA Today survey revealed that the favorite hotel amenity of guests was Wi-Fi over everything else. Now more than ever, guests still place a high value on Internet access making it an important part of a brand’s value proposition. When determining if your Internet offering will meet guest expectations, consider the following:

  • Does it work?
  • What is the bandwidth like?
  • How does a guest access the Internet?
  • Is it free?

According to a June 2013 survey by Hotels.com, 67 percent of travelers felt that in-room Wi-Fi was the most important hotel service they look for when booking. Many guests are able and want to be able to access the Internet through their tablets and smartphones, however, one-third of U.S. hotels do not have free Wi-Fi available to them.

Comfortable Furniture: Guest comfort establishes a standard for guest value. As competition among hotel operators increases, guests have more opportunities to travel and compare services and offerings. Hoteliers who decided to put off renovations a few year back should now consider making those changes in order to keep up with competitors. Even today with what all guests expect as far as complimentary amenities, this fact remains the same, the focal point of guest satisfaction is consistently a comfortable place to sleep for a reasonable price.

Top-Notch Service: Exceptional service is always a necessity in the hospitality industry. This aspect not only accounts for a 10-15 percent improvement in loyalty, but that outstanding service also stimulates a guest’s emotional experience, positively affecting their perceived value.

When it comes to improving value for price, you should focus on delivering the things that improve value perceptions. From this, we have learned that guests value Internet and lighting that works correctly, a comfortable place to rest, and excellent service. However, it is also important to remember that guest preferences change regularly and you should continue to communicate with your guests, and research hotel Industry trends to ensure you’re adapting to these changes.

Rather than having to cut rates to improve hotel guest satisfaction, hotel operators may consider adopting better purchasing practices to reduce operational costs. Source1 Purchasing is a leading strategic supply chain management group focused on cost management, savings and operational efficiencies for the hospitality industry.

Tips to Create a Stellar Online Presence for New Restaurant Operators

Besides just the hiring and training of new waitstaff and dealing with the stress of bills and permits, opening a new restaurant comes with a large amount of decisions that need to be made. One of which is the creation and maintenance of your business’s website and online presence. Here we have provided you with a list of proactive tips to help you through the process of planning your new restaurant’s new website.

Get control of your domain name. Your domain name is an integral part of your business identity. You need to be sure that it is purchased in your name, and that you are the administrative contact for the domain name. You must also make sure that the username and password are selected by you and are filed away safely. If  in the future you decide to redesign your website or change web hosts you will need access to your domain name, so it would be more convenient to have the domain name registered to you rather than what could become a former employee.

Hire a professional. In an effort to save a few bucks, many new restaurant operators may turn to a friend or acquaintance to help get their website up and running. However, once your website has launched this could leave you in a difficult position.  More often than not once your website launches, you’ll likely be on your own to keep the page running and updated. If this is the case, make sure you have been properly trained, and have plenty of time to manage your website. Consider hiring a professional webpage designer from the start who can respond to support issues in a timely manner, and possibly save you time and money in the long run. If you  do decide to allow an employee to manage the website updates for you, be sure to remain involved as well. Restaurants tend to have high turnover, and you’ll want to be sure that someone is able to manage the restaurant website at all times. A dedicated restaurant website is essential for providing important information to potential customers such as conveying that a restaurant is in fact established, and the proper branding  for your business. Cut432 of Delray Beach, Florida, for example, not only provides their story, hours, and a dinner and cocktail menu on their website, but also a page to make online reservations and take a virtual tour of their modern steakhouse on their sleek, minimalistic webpage.

Utilize Facebook. Facebook is usually the first step for growing an Internet presence for new restaurants. It’s free and it’s where the people are, so naturally, it’s a great tool for getting your name out to potential customers. After opening day however, much like the website, restaurant operators usually find themselves too busy managing the daily operations to manage both a virtual and a real world reputation and what was intended to be one facet of their online presence, turns into their sole online presence. As a marketing tool, Facebook is too important to be looked over, but it certainly should not be your only marketing tool.

Don’t overdo it. While it can be tempting to create an account for every social media outlet when launching a new restaurant, over-committing yourself to so many sites can be a bad thing. Prior to getting started, make sure you have an associate who is capable of managing these accounts. Otherwise, you could inadvertently ignore questions from customers, overlook valuable feedback, or end up with an inactive blog. Neglected social channels can turn off new patrons, alienate fans, and convey an inability to manage your business. You should consider creating one social page at a time, building a routine and then adding new channels as you become accustomed to handling them. Moreover, you want to be sure that the social media platforms you use are appropriate for your business.

Remember mobile. According to Venturebeat.com, mobile visitors now account for about 50% of all restaurant website traffic. If you are working with a professional webpage designer, be sure to ask how they plan to approach your mobile website and ask to see samples. Once you hear the words “responsive design” in the explanation, you know you are good to go.

A properly created and managed online presence can lead to a significant boost in profit. For more tips on how to build an online presence for your restaurant, please read the following Source1 posts:

5 Tips To Lower Your Restaurant Food and Beverage Costs

Every restaurant owner battles with rising food and beverage costs. According to a recent article by Drew Sandholm on CNBC.com, “From beef, chicken and pork to coffee, it seems food prices across the board are rising,” so it is time to prepare for these changes and create a plan of action for menu or even supplier changes. Here are five tips to aid you in the fight to lower costs and increase your overall profits.

1. Craft a consistent and profitable menu.

Create a menu that compliments your kitchen equipment, layout and your staff’s experience level. Your food must appeal to your target audience, taste delectable, as well as contribute to the necessary amount of gross profit. Be sure to create a manageable menu that won’t overwhelm your kitchen staff. In response to the discussion of future rising food and beverage costs, Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz stated in an interview with CNBC’s Jim Cramer, “The truth of the matter is that dairy is probably a bigger issue for us going forward than coffee, but we will be able to maintain our guidance, our EPS and absolutely manage through and negotiate through any rise in coffee costs.”

2. Create recipe spreadsheets for all menu items.

Creating recipes in spreadsheets allows you to link individual ingredients to your inventory spreadsheet so that your recipe costs automatically update when you update your inventory prices. This recipe spreadsheet can also be used for batch recipes on items such as sauces or mashed potatoes that are made in large quantities. Updated recipe costs can then be used to calculate your ideal food cost per menu item.

3. Evaluate your food and beverage suppliers.

Go over your supplier invoices and your current inventory to determine if you are getting good pricing compared to your competitors. Consider meeting with local business owners and comparing prices. You can compare your own pricing history and bid suppliers against each other,  or you can work with the assistance of a GPO (Group Purchasing Organization) and you will be able to lower your food & beverage costs while accessing the highest quality products and staying ahead of consumer trends without the hassle of the bidding wars.

4. Monitor your inventory.

Review your inventory values to confirm they are up to date and conduct an inventory check weekly so you can ensure a proper level and make some cash flow available. Avoid waiting until the end of the month to find out if there were any issues.

5. Conduct a menu analysis.

Create a menu analysis spreadsheet that assists you in evaluating your best selling items and categorize all your menu items by their popularity and gross profit contribution.

As a restaurant operator, it is essential to run your restaurant efficiently through proper control of food and beverage costs.

Keep your restaurant customers loyal by avoiding these mistakes

As a restaurant operator, when you have loyal customers, it’s essential to do all that you can to ensure that those guests continue to return. In order to accomplish this, you must understand what leads guests to stop returning, and what preventative measures can be taken to keep it from happening again. The following are common reasons that lead loyal guests to turn their backs on your business:

1. The competition has a lower price.

If you and your competition offer similar amenities and products ,yet  they are able to offer it a lower price, you can offer products and services that are customized, making it difficult for competitors to imitate

2. Customer service was less than satisfactory.

A huge factor that goes into once loyal guests going to your competition is poor customer service. Be sure to train your restaurant staff to treat guests appropriately and to exceed expectations. If guests are consistently happy with the customer service at your establishment, they will continue to be loyal to your brand.

3. Your product quality diminished.

If the products you offer are always successful and result in profits, then there is no need to cut corners and compromise that exceptional quality. If you’re using a specific brand of bread for your burgers and sandwiches, don’t opt for a lower quality brand just to save pennies. Customer loyalty lies in consistency.

4. The customer’s needs changed.

It’s important to adapt to the trends of the food and beverage industry, always expanding your offerings before the customer even realizes that their tastes have changed. To accomplish this, communicate with your customers, learn your market, so that you can anticipate their needs, giving you the ability to adjust your menu far in advance. If you find that you are caught off guard by changing needs of guests, then you may need to pay more attention to your guests and interact with them more regularly.

 

While these may seem to be obvious mistakes  that you don’t want to make, the often chaotic nature of restaurant operations can bring unexpected outcomes. Though it may not help with your customer service issues, working with a food & beverage purchasing service can help you lower operational costs while accessing the highest quality products and staying ahead of consumer trends. As an expert in the food and beverage industry, Source1 Purchasing is able to provide you with the most up-to-date tips and trends to keep restaurant operators running as efficiently and successfully as possible.

How Hotel Operators Can Improve the Hotel Sales Staff’s Performance

Many qualities factor into making a sales person exceptional at their job. Some of these qualities include, but are not limited to, a high energy level, personal motivation, and a pleasing personality, but even if someone doesn’t naturally embody all these traits, there are opportunities for a person to become better at selling. The following are just a few skills that are essential to improving a person’s ability to become great at the business of selling for hotels and resorts. Encouraging and teaching your staff to intentionally focus on each of these customer service skills can significantly increase their ability to make a sale:

  1. Listen. Listening more and talking less radiates intelligence. Be sure your staff asks a few key questions, and then allows the guest to speak and complete his or her thought; try not to oversell and let the customer do the talking.
  2. Features. As long as the features of your property can be seen as valuable to your prospective customer, then it’s okay to discuss them with your prospects. It would be pointless for a sales person to go on about your vast parking lot if a guest will be flying in. Make sure they take the time to learn the needs of your prospects, decide what features would be most important to them, and then continue to discuss the benefits and advantages of those features.
  3. Image. Your hotel’s image is formed by not only the building and its decor, but by your staff and the atmosphere created by them as hosts; by their looks, voice and ability to communicate effectively as well. An enthusiastic tone of voice is a vital attribute of outstanding sales people. It is also helpful to know the right thing to say and how to say it. As well, all staff should be clean and look professional.
  4. Motivation. Another trait of great sales people is the ability to successfully motivate others. In the business of selling, it is important to motivate the prospective buyer to make the purchase. Be sure to inform your hotel sales staff of the appropriate way to encourage the prospective buyer to make the purchase.
  5. Get Noticed. Sales people must be visible in the business community. As a hotel operator, you should encourage your sales staff to be active in the community and join groups, give talks to groups, be quoted in the newspapers and make an appearance at important and relative business events. People are more likely to do business with someone who is reputable.
  6. Improve Communication Skills. Hotel sales staff should learn to articulate properly, and use correct grammar. Slang expressions and filler words, such as “umm”, “like”, and “ya know” should be avoided. By speaking correctly, not only will your staff be seen as intelligent, but their sales strategies will improve.
  7. Be Knowledgeable. Sales people should be knowledgeable of the hotel property, your competition, and the needs of the prospective buyers.
  8. Emit Confidence. The sales person’s confidence will translate into  the buyers’ confidence. If your staff shows a lack of confidence in themselves or your hotel it can lead to a reduction in sales.

Restaurant Operators Can Gain Sales by Boosting Their Online Presence

In today’s digital age, most consumers search the Internet using Bing or Google to check out restaurant reviews, menus, and prices before they head out for dinner. Because of this, it is essential for restaurant owners to optimize their online presence in order to get those “would-be” patrons through their door. Here are five crucial tips for operators who are looking to increase restaurant sales in their establishment.

Get Listed in Local Directories

If you wish to appear in the results for someone searching, for example, “local restaurants” you must get listed with several reputable or authoritative business directories to improve your SEO ranking. Getting listed in local directories is important because the search engines, especially Google, rely on reputable and respectable local business directories for their information. This means that if your website link is on one (or preferably more) of those authoritative directories, Google will list your restaurant in the top search results for local restaurants.

Optimize Your Google Places Profile

To increase your business’s standing in Google, you must sign up for a Google Places profile. This is how Google classifies and highlights local businesses. However, you must do more than just sign up for the profile – you also need to optimize it by completing all of the information fields and using some relative keywords in your profile.

Encourage Facebook Check-Ins

Facebook check-ins are what power restaurant listings to success in Facebook Graph Search. If somebody uses Facebook to seek out a local restaurant, and your restaurant has a large number of check-ins from local consumers, your restaurant will be seen as “a place to be.” So, don’t be afraid to encourage your guests to check-in to your restaurant on Facebook. In fact, some restaurants even offer free appetizers or small discounts for the first check-ins of the day. Sometimes a little incentive doesn’t hurt!

Encourage Good Reviews

Online review sites give important sources of information about your restaurant, as more and more consumers are using these sites to research local establishments. Not much can be done to prevent bad reviews other than offering superior service and quality food, but you can actively build up your positive reviews. Encourage, but don’t solicit, your customers to provide you with positive feedback on sites like UrbanSpoon.com and Yelp.com . And if you do happen to get some negative feedback be sure to respond online and correct what you can. This will show potential diners that you listened, the problem has been addressed, and that they can expect to enjoy their experience at your facility. Read more about Getting Reviews The Right Way.

Nurture Leads

Lead nurturing is a sales-boosting technique that works especially great for small businesses, even in the restaurant industry. Create a “Loyalty Program,” ask your guests for their e-mail addresses and then use that information to nurture your relationship with your current patrons. Let them know you will be sending information about discounts, special offers, and news about upcoming events.  Be sure to mention social media in all communications such as invitations to “Like” you on Facebook or follow you on Twitter, etc.

Money-Saving Tips for Restaurant Operators

Restaurant operators are looking for more ways to save money these days to adjust for  the rising costs of beef and produce. To help your establishment cut back on costs, here are some tips to reduce energy, water usage and waste management costs.

1. Use energy efficient light bulbs. Switching to an energy efficient light bulb can save up to $22 per bulb per year, which can over time add up to significant savings. You should also remember to turn the lights off when they aren’t in use – motion sensor lights can help with this.

2. Run the dishwasher when it’s full. By waiting to wash the dishes until the dishwasher is full, you are able to cut down on water usage, soap and energy costs.

4. Install low flow faucets and toilets. By doing so you will save between 20 to 40 percent of water usage.

5. Turn down the thermostat. You’ll be surprised at the cost difference between keeping the temperature at 68 degrees rather than 72 degrees.

6. Use porcelain instead of paper or plastic. Rather than using disposable plates and cups, you may want to consider a one time investment for china, glass and silver – you will save on disposal costs, and as an added bonus reduce wastes in today’s landfills

7. Invest in energy efficient appliances. With energy efficient appliances, not only will you save on energy usage, but some states even offer restaurants tax credits and other incentives for switching to energy efficient appliances.

8. Trim down your menu. If there are certain items on your menu that just aren’t selling, then remove those items. This will help reduce food waste and keep food costs under control.

9. Take advantage of e-marketing. In today’s society, more people are opting to receive their information online rather than the yellow pages. From creating your own website to online advertising, there are many inexpensive ways to spread the word about your business.

10. Train your staff. Teach your staff to sort recyclables, turn off lights, and inform you of any issues that could be costing you money, such as a leaky faucet.

Maximize Your Hotel’s Operational Efficiency with a GPO

Starting with a smart design plan can lead to cost reduction and maximum return on investment for hoteliers now and in the future. By implementing the following tips during the construction phase of your business, you will find a positive impact in the bottom line of your hotel operations.

Water Management Lowers Costs

Hotel designs that start with a consistent plumbing location minimizes the chances for future problems. Depending on the size of your establishment, low flow faucets can potentially save your hotel 1,000 gallons of water a day on average. Low flow faucets are specifically designed to mix air and water in a way that minimizes consumption while providing the guest the feeling of high volume flow. Installing these will allow you to reduce water costs while still keeping your guests happy.

Geographic Design Methods

A smart design is flexible to account for various locations. For example, winter is cold in North Dakota, so if you modified your building materials at your North Dakota hotel site to use 2” x 6” studs for exterior walls to provide more room for insulation to keep the Northern winter cold at bay, the quality of the thicker insulation will result in a slightly higher build cost but a 2.8 percent reduction in energy that is required to heat the property. Considering regional requirements and factors within the context of smart design and operational efficiency can result in beneficial changes in just one place or for all locations.

LED Lighting Saves on Energy

LEDs represent a smart design choice that saves hoteliers during construction and make up about 20 percent of the electricity costs that come with traditional lighting. LED lights use 80 percent less energy than incandescent bulbs, last five times as long as fluorescents, do not require special disposal due to hazardous chemicals (like neon, lead powder, mercury, etc.), and without glass coverings, there are no trapped insects to clean.

Smart design results in savings that go directly to the bottom line. However, to achieve the benefits, you must take some chances, plan for changes before construction and properly execute those plans during the build. Source1 can help you keep your operations efficient by providing you with suppliers to meet all of your purchasing and procurement needs.

3 Sustainability Tips for Restaurant and Hotel Operators

With sustainability becoming increasingly important in today’s society, restaurant and hotel operators are searching for ways to go greener. Because restaurants are in the business of creating and delivering food to customers, they have a greater opportunity to become sustainable through the ingredients in their meals and the technology that is used to prepare that food. To begin towards a more sustainable establishment, restaurants and hotels can include more local vendors in their purchasing plan, limit the amount of waste that is discarded, and adopt eco-friendly technology solutions.

Operators can take steps towards becoming more sustainable with the following tips for hotel and restaurant owners:

1. Review your restaurant or hotel purchasing program for local vendor options

Restaurants go through a ton of food and produce daily, and it can be tempting to obtain your food products from as affordable a source as possible. However, you can create a more sustainable restaurant by purchasing the bulk of your ingredients from local farmers and suppliers. By doing so, you are supporting your local economy and making sure that crops and other goods in your area are being used rather than being wasted. Plus, by purchasing your ingredients locally, you are ensuring the freshness of your food as well as reducing the time, energy and money required to transport them to your restaurant. If you’d like, may could even grow some of your own ingredients – start your own herb or vegetable garden to supply yourself with some of the ingredients used in your recipes.

2. Be aware of your waste – from smarter inventory management to a better plan for disposal

At the end of the day at your business, you always end up with a lot of waste, whether its food leftover by customers, garbage from everyday use, or extra food from over preparation or inventory that is at or beyond expiration. Rather than simply tossing out waste in garbage bags, you can improve your waste-management program efficiency by doing research and making strategic decisions on where the extra food and waste should go. Consider composting kitchen and produce waste so that you end up with rich fertilizer for soil that you could use in your own vegetable and herd garden. You should also be sure to always recycle all appropriate glass, aluminum, paper, cardboard and items. After doing this, you will certainly still be left with garbage at the end of the day that should be taken to the dump, but you have reduced how much waste is being put into the ground. Local food banks may have donation guidelines, so check with your local food bank organization for any additional guidelines, and any limits on their capacity to accept raw agricultural products, especially those which may require refrigeration. To find a food bank donation center near you, check with the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, or read here how a Red Lobster in Whitehall, PA uses Food Donation Connection, in partnership with National Restaurant Association, to help figure out the do’s and don’ts of donating restaurant leftovers.

3. Use eco-friendly products

Many products that are used in restaurants contain harsh chemicals, particularly for cleaning up. Rather than using these chemicals, opt for products that are more environmentally safe, like all natural or organic cleaning products. These will properly clean your establishment without adding more toxic chemicals to the earth. Aside from cleaning, there are many other areas in your restaurant that can benefit from the use of eco-friendly items. Strategic sourcing of products and appliances that actually help reduce energy and water costs may prove to be beneficial for your establishment. For example, you could use recycled paper for your menus and napkins and compact fluorescent light bulbs in your light fixtures. You can even really go green by ditching all print advertising and embracing the idea of social media marketing for your advertising campaigns.

These are only a few examples of green practices in hotels and restaurants. What steps have you taken to improve sustainability at your restaurant? Source1 Purchasing provides you with the latest tips, trends, and news of the food and beverage industry to ensure your business is running as efficiently as possible.

How to Turn Website Visitors into Restaurant Guests

Designing a website for your restaurant is a great step to take in order to gain new customers – but only if you use it effectively. Even if you have a large amount of traffic on your website, it means nothing if those visitors never actually dine at your restaurant. Here are some tips that can help you take those people from online visitors to offline visitors.

Get more reviews. Most people like to read online reviews about restaurants before deciding to dine somewhere. Reviews allow guests to explain their experiences at an establishment, and if those reviews are good, you have a better chance of increasing the amount of guests to your restaurant. Create profiles on review websites, such as Yelp, and be sure to include a link to your website so that people who visit the review site can access your restaurant’s website. You should also include the same great reviews from the on your own page.

Go mobile. Now more than ever, people are using their mobile devices more than their desktop devices to search the web.  This means that you need to design your website to be mobile-friendly. When your site is mobile-friendly, those searching for a restaurant to dine in will be able to easily access your site from their smartphones and tablets.  When designing your site to be mobile-friendly, be sure that visitors can access your menu, address and other appropriate information about your restaurant from their mobile devices with ease.

Provide online ordering ability. In today’s society, everyone seems to be in a hurry, meaning they are looking for a fast and convenient way to order their food. To attract these customers to your establishment, you may want to consider providing an online ordering option for to-go orders from your website. To make the process easier for guests, include a complete menu on your website and set it up so that ordering and paying are as simple as the click of a button.  Remember to quote a time for when the order will be ready for pick up. Quick, hassle-free online ordering will is sure to increase your customer base.

Offer incentives. By offering incentives online you are encouraging online visitors to keep returning to your restaurant. For example, you could include a coupon code on your website for a discount when online visitors sign up for your newsletter or when they like you on Facebook.  You may even want to create a loyalty program online for your regular guests. This encourages those who are already visiting your site to become customers, and it helps to further spread the word about your restaurant.  With these easy tactics, you can turn your website visitors into guests in your restaurant, therefore increasing your sales.
