Redefining Business in Hospitality Services

Thank you CGI for having me @Insights22 in Helsinki. Great opportunity to talk about and discuss the Hospitality Digital (HD) success story and how HD creates value for restaurateurs and Metro. Nice recording, give it a look:

How to convince “Internet Grouches” of a digital Future

Ilona Kestler, VP at internet service provider CGI, invited me to an interview at Dusseldorf Startup Week in Juni this year. We had a lively chat on the status quo of Digital in the HORECA industry, restaurateurs and their digital needs, on how the industry changes because of ever more demanding customers – and much more. Nice result, I think! Thanks for having me, Ilona. Please, give the recording a look (in German though):

Unleashing the Power of Process

Digital Boosters helping Restaurateurs restart

Together with a strong team of Hospitality Digital technology partners, we have launched a number of useful and easy-to-use web tools and services helping restaurateurs restart – we call them “digital boosters”, e.g.:

  • Web Listing, a service publishing a restaurant’s location and details on more than 40 web portals within minutes;
  • Photodirect – providing easy access to premium photos presenting a restaurant in premium style;
  • Order Smart – a shop system for food delivery and take-away.

Last but not least, I would like to recommend Orderbird, an iPad POS system (and Metro AG portfolio company).

Fake Agile

Steve Denning, a senior contributor to Forbes magazine, published an insightful article titled “Understanding Fake Agile” which definitely is worth a read. The author defines three laws of Agile: the law of the customer, the law of the small team, and the law of the network. This approach can certainly be argued, but it makes sense as Denning intends to cover both operational agility (improving the business) and strategic agility (creating new products and services) in his definition. And he puts his standpoint clearly: “Agile and bureaucracy are mutually incompatible: in the medium term, only one can survive.” [poet-badge]

Serviceware acquiring Sabio

Interesting move by Serviceware. Their acquisition of Sabio will integrate Knowledge Management (KM) tools into their platform. I expect a number of similar transactions to happen over the next two years. With respect to Sabio, I experimented with their solutions at EPlus/KPN (in combination with Zendesk) – nice tools, but long way to go to achieve excellence. [poet-badge]
