RWK Goodman Hospitality Pressure Points
The Hospitality and Leisure Sector has rarely been under greater pressure. We are here for hospitality operators, to make the changes together.
The Hospitality and Leisure sector is feeling the affects of an extraordinary combination of pressures.
Some pressures have been directly imposed upon the sector, and others indirectly through far-reaching global forces. The good news is that there are ways to relieve these pressures, but the means of doing so may be complex, or require deep changes to business models and ways of thinking.
Hospitality Pressure Points is a content series produced by RWK Goodman and a number of expert contributors. In it we work collaboratively with industry experts to unpack the most pressing issues facing the sector. From the due diligence required from both parties when entering or exiting the sector, to likely commercial disputes that arise and the steps that operators can take to avoid them. We also speak to business owners and reveal innovative steps that can be taken to make the most of commercial spaces in an age of ever-changing customer expectations.
As the sector is particularly vulnerable to changes that impact its workforce, we discuss how employment law and career development can combine to provide operators with a vital commercial edge.
In an age of digitisation it is easy to overlook the sector’s dependence on bricks and mortar properties. These crucial assets have rarely been more important, but require maintenance and are often subject to eye-watering dilapidation liabilities. Our property experts explain how costly issues can be avoided.
Staff are the hospitality sectors biggest asset - so why are they so undervalued?
Operators need an effective and motivated workforce. But all too often staff training and retention is undervalued. This results in high turnover, expensive recruitment drives, and poor customer experience. In this podcast we speak to HIT Training a leading hospitality training operator about their views on the sector and how more can be done to support it, and how operators can help themselves.
Underleases: a new potential for hospitality businesses
An underlease offers greater flexibility to use your hospitality space, helping to offset ongoing costs including utilities and service charges. ToniqLife and The Columbian Company are a perfect example as to how this works in practice…. In this video we explore the benefits, from the potential to attract more customers and improve the customer experience, through to how it can strengthen both businesses.
In this series we look at the big issues facing hospitality operators.
We showcase real life examples of change and provide pragmatic guidance on how to navigate these challenges together.
