The holiday season is a time when families come together to celebrate traditions and enjoy the company of loved ones.
In the modern restaurant and hospitality marketplace, there are so many things working against your ability to grow a successful business as an owner or operator.
Restaurant chains have enjoyed a long reign at the top for many years, holding that coveted space with customers as the “safe option” that provides a familiar dining experience no matter where the restaurant is located. Here are 5 growing trends that are having a direct impact on chain business in 2019.
An interview with FLAT® Tech CEO, Barry Mancell
As the FLAT® Tech team prepares for this year’s National Restaurant AssociationRestaurant, Hotel-Motel Show® (NRA Show), we had the opportunity to have a conversation with the company’s CEO about their plans and goals for this year.
FLAT works very hard on building a positive experience for our customers. Our goal has always been to engineer products that solve some of the oldest problems in foodservice - wobbly and misaligned tables. We work diligently with our customers to provide support and service that are second-to-none in our industry.
How to build a brand experience that endures
Come meet the team and see how we’re eliminating wobbly and misaligned tables across the world with our award-winning products!
(AUSTIN, TX)—FLAT® Tech, the global leader in table stabilizing solutions, is set to demonstrate their groundbreaking line of products to facility managers from all over the country at the Restaurant Facility Management Association (RFMA) Show in Austin, TX. FLAT’s products are proven solutions to a major problem that impacts restaurants, foodservice, and hospitality businesses of every size—wobbly and misaligned tables.
We recently had the opportunity to sit down with a new member of the leadership team in the FLAT® Tech organization and learn more about how 2019 is shaping up to be a record year for the company. Nils Hughes, VP of Sales – Americas, joined the company at the very end of 2018, and brings a wealth of experience in hospitality and foodservice that will help FLAT Tech reach their goals in building upon past success.
(Buffalo Grove, IL USA) - As 2018 draws to a close, FLAT Tech Inc., the world leader in table stabilization and alignment technology, has been reflecting on what’s been another record-breaking year and preparing for the next.
In 2018, the company saw their retrofittable solution for wobbly tables—FLAT Equalizers, receive the coveted Kitchen Innovations (KI) Award at the NRA (National Restaurant Association) Show and received further awards from Food Service Equipment Reports and the Western Foodservice Show. The introduction of Equalizers is certainly a game changer as restaurants, cafes and bars are now able to fix their existing ‘wobbly foes’.
How top brands are making a difference for customers using FLAT Tech products
Every restaurant owner/operator knows that building a memorable and positive front of house experience is key to differentiating their brand from a market that becomes more crowded and fragmented with each passing year. Building a unique experience for customers means creating the right atmosphere to meet their expectations with great media, décor, and staff that are in harmony. There are, however, certain issues that can creep into that experience and damage your brand without you ever knowing. One of the big issues that many customers, and owners alike, agree can negatively impact a restaurant’s brand experience are wobbly tables.
Everything is set up just right, the ambiance is perfect and ready for your first customers to walk into your restaurants. And although inevitably challenges will arise, you feel at ease that everything within your control has been taken care of. Now that your customers are seated they will surely take in and appreciate the intricate details that you and your staff have tediously seen to. Except...they can’t notice any of that because their evening has been constantly interrupted by the annoyance of a wobbly table.
