Let’s not get tunnel vision when only focusing on: Rates Food and Beverage Minimum Concessions These are not ALL the components of a successful and balanced hotel event contract. The protective language and provisions in your contract are just as valuable, if not more, to your bottom line and budget goals. Guaranteed menu pricing is an area often overlooked because we are so focused on the Food and Beverage minimum. Oftentimes, we open ourselves up to large unforeseen menu increases that can happen between the time of contract to the time you start building out your food and beverage specifications. Working with a third-party hotel sourcing specialist, like myself, who knows from years of experience in the hotel industry what can happen from seeing the initial menus in your proposal to what menus you will be obligated to use, will help you save thousands in unexpected costs.

Last month, our CEO and Founder Gregg Majewski spoke on the panel, "Trends in Restaurant Loyalty Platforms, Profits & Guest Relations," at the 2024 Food On Demand Conference. Reflecting back on the importance of loyalty in business, Majewski shares: while you have that amazing 20 percent of your customers who continue to return, you can't forget about the other 80 still out there that has an opportunity to convert as well. How do you do that as an emerging brand? The old tricks in the hospitality industry worked for a reason. The punch card, the receipt, the good old email list. He emphasizes that it's okay to use these while you focus on what's most important: building your four walls to properly scale your business.
