Restaurants in hotels (in-house restaurants) have always been a focus point for revenue and identity of the hospitality industry. Having a well-equipped F&B outlet within the hotel not only makes it convenient for guests to indulge in a quick meal, lavish dinner and drinks or even a dessert but also becomes simpler for hoteliers to showcase the best of their hospitality.
"An in-house restaurant can greatly affect a hotel brand's identity and most importantly the positioning of the hotel. Additionally, it is a crucial aspect of the guest experience. The quality, atmosphere and menu offerings of the restaurant can positively or negatively affect a guest's perception of the hotel as a whole," says Sohil Bhargava, Food and Beverage Manager, Raffles Udaipur.
In short, layouts and plans need to be carefully laid out for the seamless functionality of both parties - for designers to create the right design and hoteliers to maintain the same.
Adds Suresh Kumar, General Manager, Ramada Resort by Wyndham Kochi, "There are a lot of factors that affect the decision, starting from the competition. You need to be aware if any of them are due for renovation or if something new is coming. Then, you need to consider whether the market will accept a radical concept. After going through the budget, the final decision is made between the owner, the General Manager, the chef, the food and beverage manager and the design team."
WHAT'S TRENDING IN 2023?
2023-designed restaurants are thoroughly focusing towards engaging their users with sensorial experiences, allowing a sense of warmth, using natural materials, soothing textures and creating multifunctional spaces. Restaurants have had a tremendous shift towards health and wellness, veganism, sustainable dining menu engineering and industry trends.
