Abstract

Knowledge is power. To make transformative changes to your business you first need to understand it back to front. You need to untangle the web of often conflicting decisions that help your hospitality business to operate. A thorough green audit is a first step that makes the steps that follow far easier. „„ Untangle the web. The consequences of your decisions do not play out in a vacuum. To have the different pieces of a hospitality business working in harmony it is essential to spot when they are working against each other. „„ Embrace individuality. One-size-fits-all standards will only get businesses so far. Every site is unique and deserves personalised plans. Anything less will lead to waste. „„ Technology is your tool, not your master. Smart systems can be superb allies, but only if you take the time to learn to use them. The buck always stops with you.
