The Case Against QR Menus
Larry and Adam Mogelonsky | December 8, 2021
By Larry and Adam Mogelonsky Menus are an important aspect of the overall presentation of a hotel restaurant. Indeed, a whole book on proper menu design could be written, with inventory arrangements, fonts, graphics, spacing, types of paper, menu backings and all other stylistic concerns outlined as contributing factors for a guest’s overall appreciation of the dining outlet. The pandemic has thrown a wrench in this marketing and sentiment-boosting tool as many customers now expect menus to be accessible on their phones via a QR code. The benefit for the restaurant is certainly there in the form of saving on printing costs, but it’s...

By Larry and Adam Mogelonsky Before the pandemic, it was quite customary in restaurants to whet the appetite with the tableside delivery of a breadbasket, or some variation of a small loaf of bread, as a welcome to the establishment. There has always been a positive symbolism with this act, as breaking bread not only increases meal satisfaction by alleviating any hunger pangs but also implies a deeper sense of trust and camaraderie. There’s more here on the psychological and monetary front. The bread serves as a timing delay tactic, giving the kitchen more time to prepare the selected appetizers and mains while simultaneously easing t...
This Is Why You Should Simplify F&B for 2022
Larry and Adam Mogelonsky | October 6, 2021
By Larry and Adam Mogelonsky As we enter budgeting season, let’s focus on the F&B department and why a minimalist approach will ultimately be profitable as guests continue to realign their shopping habits. The reason for this focus is that food is part of the overall hotel experience, with a good meal haloing based on a customer’s perception of the rooms product and influencing satisfaction as a result. One of our key mantras at Hotel Mogel has always been, “It’s better to do one thing great than a bunch only good.” Pandemic-related global F&B supply issues and inflationary forces aside, the bottom line is you want to ...
