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.
