Introduction

Of late, the world is seeing a seismic shift in the eating habits, as people are increasingly dining-out at restaurants. In the developed world, eating out has become a common trend among family and friend circles. On an average they dine atleast 2 to 3 days a week outside, such is the trend. So, eating out is a multi billion dollar industry world-wide.

What has contributed to this?

The people often eat food outside because they want varieties. In fact, the world is becoming increasingly liberal towards the choice of food, and the consequence is, people want to call shots on what to eat, when and where. Various mobile Apps have aggressively contributed to this.

Managing Restaurants is becoming increasingly complex

Because more people eat outside, more restaurants have mushroomed across cities which has resulted in more competition in attracting customers. Since the customers have a wide choice, their expectations have sky-rocketed.

This is keeping  the restaurants on toes to keep check on the expenses and at the same time meet the customers’ expectations.

Hotels & Airlines are even more complex to manage

Thanks to low-cost airlines and internet based reservations, booking hotel rooms and air tickets has become child’s play. When booked in advance, customers get steep discounts too. This triggered people to take flights to make low-cost air travels and check in at hotels of all categories across cities. That means, people are travelling a lot within India and outside on business and pleasure trips with families.

More people are travelling and checking in at hotels means more business, which brought intense competition in the airlines and hospitality industry. To attract customers, they (hotels and airlines) started giving deep discounts, which bled them financially and the industry learnt their lessons quickly.

The hospitality industry captains realized that only by providing better customer experience they could make customers happy. Happy customers means repeat business and this way they could stay in the business for long. Thus started the induction of professionals into the business. But why so?
