Guide to Specifying Melamine Plates for Foodservice: Evaluating Menu Fit, Usable Area, and Handling Needs

  • 19 August 2026

This structured approach aids in minimizing revisions, easing storage, and simplifying reordering. For multi-property groups, limit variations to streamline purchasing.

Luxury Brands Transform Retail Spaces into Hospitality Experiences to Drive Customer Engagement and Brand Loyalty

  • 15 August 2026
🍵 Years ago, at the Grand Hyatt Tokyo, a Louis Vuitton leader envisioned a restaurant concept, but it stalled due to cost concerns. Later, as Louis Vuitton's President in China, I revisited the idea but found it economically unfeasible. Now, luxury brands like Prada, Gucci, and Ralph Lauren integrate cafes and dining experiences to draw customers, transforming stores into destinations. This shift emphasizes selling experiences over products, as almost everything is now buyable online, altering traditional retail strategies.

  • 15 August 2026
🏨 Hilton's 2026 report highlights "hushpitality" as a trend, with 65% of hotels short-staffed during the 2024 holidays.
