The hotel is buzzing. There are not enough hours in the day. You wish you could snap your fingers and solve every problem instantly – especially the one that finds you more people to help!

Yet you linger for a moment and say to yourself, after what we’ve been through, people's problems are the nicest problems to have.

The reality is that since the pandemic, we are all expected to do more with fewer people. According to the HRPA and the 2022 Microsoft Annual Work Trend Report:

Canadian companies are collectively scrambling to fill 915,000 job vacancies, 80% more than in 2019, and well above pre-pandemic levels.

The golden rule of productivity is to do more, with less. In the case of hotels, the goal is to increase guest satisfaction with fewer people.

Here are three time-saving tips:

1. Satisfy hunger cravings 24/7 with quick, healthy, and fulfilling grab-and-go snacks. Guest hunger does not follow the clock. Late arrivals, time zone changes, and hectic travel schedules translate to hunger pains 24 hours a day. Create a robust Lobby Shop program with sustainable, local healthy options.

2. Quench thirst instantly with sustainable bottled water options. Save time on your sustainability goals and quench your thirst by replacing 100% of your plastic water bottles with infinitely reusable and refillable options. Two goals in one! Now that's productive!

3. Outsource high-demand food and beverage options. When your chef can’t keep up in the kitchen, consider using reliable, local vendors for high-volume items such as sandwiches, smoothies, granola, and other snacks.

At Concierge Connection, we help hoteliers find new ways to create higher guest satisfaction, in fewer steps. We are a one-stop solution for healthy, sustainable, and local food, beverage, and guest essentials.
