THE LATEST FROM US, THE TEAM, THE MARKET AND MUCH MORE…

Our Group Strategy Director, Stefan Breg, shares the results of our research into a wide range of ‘hot topics’ in eating out.

We are excited to announce that our project the Treehouse London has been shortlisted for Best Hotel Renovation or Restoration in the AHEAD Europe Awards 2020.

Our Group MD Jeremy Scarf joined Greene Kings CEO, Nick Mackenzie to discuss the future of the pub and restaurant sector on The Marketing Society’s podcast, Wax Lyrical.

It’s been an exciting week of awards news at KEANE. As well as Treehouse being nominated for ‘Best Hotel Under 200 Rooms – Global’ in the International Hotel & Property Awards, we also found out it has been nominated for an amazing four awards in the Restaurant and Bar Design Awards.

Premier Inn have commissioned Keane to develop their bedroom of the future!

Brilliant to see our research and insights published following our speaking assignment, delivered by our very own Stefan Breg and Helen El Mettouri for the first Global Restaurant Investment Forum at the Arabian Hotel Investment Conference. You can discover the results of our findings into hotel F&B operations here.

Last week we attended the Global Restaurant Investment Forum in London, which was hosted at the exciting Tel Aviv restaurant, Bala Baya. The event series, which we’ve been sponsoring over the last year and had the privilege to speak at previously, is a brilliant opportunity to hear about the issues affecting our industry, particularly investors and operators. Here’s some of the key take-outs from the event.

It’s a pretty daunting prospect trying to improve something that is well-loved by many, but that was exactly the brief with Sky Bar, Genting’s jewel in the crown of their restaurant and bar experiences at Resorts World Birmingham.

Thank you Commercial Interior Design Middle East for the coverage of our latest Dubai openings and a huge Well Done to all the team!

THE investment event for the hotel sector bringing together government and municipal officials, major hotel owners and operators. AHIC is an annual event and this year, KEANE were honoured to be asked to present our findings on the key owner-operator relationships in hotel F&B in the Middle East and the true extent of leasing & franchising of hotel F&B venues. After the presentation, Stefan and Helen hosted panels with prominent industry representatives from both owning and operating companies to further discuss what we had earlier described in our presentation as ‘Hot Topics in F&B’.

Just like Tinseltown preparing for the Academy Awards season at the beginning of the year, the restaurant & bar design industry is preparing for awards season, and similarly to Titanic at the Oscars in 1998, we’ve been shortlisted for a whole host of awards at the Restaurant & Bar Design Awards in October.

We’re just hoping that’s where the analogy ends and we’re not left with that sinking feeling…
