Barbara Tucci | June 5, 2023

What’s Wrong With Business Intelligence Solutions Today?
Apo Demirtas | May 30, 2023

Sound familiar? That’s a common problem and, to be honest, it’s not your fault for not understanding the value of business intelligence solutions because there are so many different types of BI solutions, which offer different information, value, ROI, etc. that it’s hard to explain, in simple terms, what BI is and why most BI solutions today ar...

Why Aren’t You Getting a Call for Job Interviews? (Part I) Make Sure Your Resume Passes AI Screening and the 6-Second Test
Linchi Kwok | May 25, 2023
The unemployment rate is low. Our industry still faces an ongoing labor shortage challenge. Many restaurants and hotels struggle to fill vacant positions. Then, will restaurants and hotels hire just anyone applying for the job? If that is the case, why some of us have never heard any follow-up calls?

It is time to review the resume-writing (this post) and LinkedIn (Part II or the next post) tips. Make Sure Your Resume Passe...

Dr Carlos Martin-Rios | May 25, 2023
By Dr. Carlos Martin-Rios, Julneth Rogenhoger Why is food waste a problem? In recent years, food waste management has become one of the most critical topics in the hospitality industry.

Jim Butler | May 16, 2023
By Jim Butler The Americans with Disability Act (ADA) is an important piece of legislation guaranteeing equal access to public facilities to the nearly 60 million people with disabilities in the US today.
