SUVEER SODHI GENERAL MANAGER ALILA DIWA GOA AND THE DIWA CLUB

As someone rightly said, "food may be essential as fuel for the body, but good food is fuel for the soul"! The food and beverage sector has evolved over the years and now is the time to embrace this change and for hotels to realise its importance. Food is no longer a mere necessity but a source of pleasure. A high-quality dining experience can enhance the overall guests' experience while travelling on a business or leisure trip. This experience spans restaurants, bars, and banqueting. If done right, the food and beverage offerings of a hotel can become an important source of recognition, guest satisfaction, and overall revenue for the hotel. F&B experiences can prove to be the biggest "memory makers" for someone travelling away from home.
