Your definition of hospitality?
The ability to build relationships and experiences that are talked about.
What does sustainability mean to you?
Sustainable means having a future that can be built upon. Making the small changes will lead to huge benefits in the long term.
Team or staff, and why?
Always Team for me. We operate with teamwork and training at the heart of all our processes.
Where do you see hospitality’s priorities?
Reduced operational complexity. Smaller menus and monitoring ingredient availability. With the constant integration of more and more technology, it is important to stay up to date with what is coming next.
Is hospitality local or global?
It starts local and is global.
What’s best about your weekend?
Getting the strategy ready with the team to build up for a flawless service. The parameters can change at a moment’s notice, I love a testing last second pivot.
I relax by…
Listening to podcasts, or watching stand-up comedy.
Eat out or eat in?
Eat out, I love the whole experience from food to drinks, service to furniture, crockery to presentation, and of course the food.
Tea or coffee?
Coffee
