Turkish Airlines’ Post

Are you not entertained? The quality of at-home dining improved dramatically during the pandemic, raising the standard of what guests expect when dining out. Most venues have realised that one way to attract guests is with the promise of entertainment. What many venues *haven’t* nailed is how to do entertainment well, in a manner that doesn’t overpower the dining experience. It is commonplace to experience: ⁃ Poorly configured venues so performances aren’t visible. ⁃ Music so loud you have to shout to be heard ⁃ Confusing performances ⁃ Overly corny acts I'm still not sure anybody has cracked “premium” on the experiential side within a restaurant. When incorporating entertainment into a venue, it is essential to focus on your point of difference and make it the best it can be. Adrian, our new Director of Music & Entertainment, is working on the programme for our new venues.  His creative experience has challenged us to consider elements of the entertainment programme we would never have considered were it not for his expertise I’d be interested to hear of any venues you think have incorporated entertainment perfectly into a restaurant environment. #music #entertainment #hospitality

If you often lose diners very fast or there are some customers you use to have and at some point, but you no longer see them😢, check again, you may have never taken time to consider how they felt towards certain things you do. As little as poor greetings, lack of appreciation, delay in service, cleanliness, frustrating mode of payment, volume of music, manner of approach etc. can drift more customers away in a day. Little things matters a lot in the Hospitality service industry. #serviceedge

Playing music loudly at a cafe or restaurant can disrupt the peaceful atmosphere and disturb other patrons who may prefer a quieter environment for conversation or relaxation. Using headphones or AirPods allows you to enjoy your music without imposing it on others, respecting their right to a comfortable dining experience. Additionally, it shows consideration for the establishment's ambiance and the preferences of fellow customers, enhancing the overall enjoyment for everyone present. Like and share.

#SolutionsforGroup Thank you to everyone who participated in our latest poll on the challenges of integrating 🎵Live Music into your 🏨 Hotel’s amenity offerings. I’ll start offering one solution per post. Allow me to address the Number One concern: 💰BUDGET: After 3 decades of performing in hotels, I have observed that if success is measured solely upon the increase in Food and Beverage Sales in order to pay for the band, it is rarely justified by management. However, seen as a whole—as a guest experience amenity and a branding boost—there are few long term, cost-effective investments that can help create repeat business.  I estimate that 20% of guests acknowledge us in the positive while we perform in the lobby or in the restaurant/bar area. Given that our weekly rate is less than a two-night stay during the peak season, doesn’t it make sense to hire musicians if it brings back ONE guest who appreciates something more than canned music? All feedback is welcome! Let’s keep finding the right solutions for your property!

London’s nightlife and dining scenes are evolving as venues combine #dining with #entertainment to offer a more seamless #latenight experience. Traditionally, #restaurants and #bars have catered to separate crowds—those seeking casual dining or high-energy nightlife—but a new wave of #hospitality entrepreneurs is blending the two. Venues like Decimo at The Standard in King’s Cross and Bar Levan in Peckham are adding live #DJs and late-night vibes, creating spaces where diners can linger into the night, enjoying both #food and #music without the need for multiple reservations or taxi rides. This trend is especially popular among younger generations looking for unique, #hasslefree late-night experiences. The concept is also thriving in upscale spots like Ambassy, a venue by JKS Restaurants, where #finedining and vibrant nightlife coexist. Guests enjoy Punjabi food before transitioning to a lively, music-infused atmosphere in the club area, offering a full night out in one venue. As London’s nightlife declines and traditional clubs close, these #hybrid venues are reshaping how the city’s diners and night owls experience late-night fun, offering a more integrated, spontaneous, and elevated social experience.

The “Fearless Gin Sour” with Valley of Mother of God gin is the creation of Massimo Zitti, owner of Mother Cocktail Bar, and is a tribute to the global phenomenon that is Taylor Swift. Her six sold-out Eras Tour concerts in Toronto have significantly boosted the city’s economy. Destination Toronto estimated an economic impact exceeding $282 million, with over $152 million in direct spending. This financial surge is attributed to several factors: • Tourism and Hospitality: The concerts attracted approximately 240,000 attendees, many from outside Toronto. Hotel bookings for the concert dates were nearly 83% higher in downtown Toronto compared to the same period last year, with citywide demand up by 36%. • Local Businesses: Restaurants, retail stores, and entertainment venues experienced increased patronage. Moneris, a Canadian payment services provider, reported a 57% week-over-week increase in spending across all categories during the first three days of the Toronto leg of the tour. • Tax Revenue: The concerts generated nearly $40 million in tax revenue across all levels of government, benefiting public services and infrastructure.
