NEW SEASON, NEW YOU

- BY NIVARD NELSON, STYLE COLUMNIST

Creating a new you, a new identity.

We are all guilty of wondering what if, what if I did something different, what if if went left instead of right. In hospitalit­y it is no different.

Businesses are always needing to change, evolve and develop,

It may be a new identity or direction either by a new food style or menus.

It may be by changing the decor or the styling of the place.

Businesses need to do this to keep currrent.

A restaurant, cafe or bar can survive only for a short time if they don’t evolve.

By staying up-to-date with current trends and styles these hospitalit­y businesses remain at the front of peoples minds.

With society’s need for something new and exciting, the hospitalit­y industry constantly needs to be evolving or those businesses that don’t will not survive.

This need to evolve also has to include personal developmen­t of staff.

Staff — especially front of house staff — need to stay up-to-date with training and education.

Without this training that staff need, the staff become bored or disillusio­ned and the business suffers.

This emphasis of a new beginning also applies to the public and the willingnes­s to accept something new or different.

Boundaries need to be pushed and explored so we can all grow.
