​With Picasso Digital, hotels and conference facilities get digital services for booking, check-in and payment so Hoteliers can focus more on what is most important to the business, the guests.  Most of staff's time in hotels, hostels and conference facilities is spent on unnecessary administrative tasks, which a smart system like Picasso Digital could handle automatically. 
​
More free time for the hotel front staff means do not have to keep looking down into a screen, more time conversing with guests, give information and sell the business. The technology exists to automate most steps; everything from check-in, payment, key card, receipt management, etc.

As we begin to enter the Winter period and energy demand begins to pick up, electricity and gas prices will once again be one of the highest costs hospitality and food service businesses face.  At Radius Energy we can help take the stress of managing these costs away by ensuring your business is on an appropriate contract and getting the best value around.  We can also offer advice and guidance on ESG and sustainability goals as well as how to reduce your carbon emissions and overall consumption numbers.   ​For a free, no obligation, analysis of your bills and contracts please get in touch by calling or emailing our dedicated IFSA team who have extensive experience in assisting food, food service and hospitality businesses, Jonathan and Finbar, on the below details.

Efficiency and productivity are always top of mind for hospitality businesses.  But when they seek to optimise their operations, there’s one area that often gets overlooked – their cash processes.  Often just accepted as a cost of doing business, manual cash handling costs staff and owners a huge amount of time and energy, and is often named one of the most stressful aspects of the day.
GLORY can help you.

Have you ever wondered what really happens behind the scenes in a professional kitchen? As part of its Open Kitchen Week initiative running from 11th - 17th November, Chef Network invites you to step 'behind the pass' and experience the inner workings of top kitchens across Ireland.

Chef Network launched Open Kitchen Week in 2023 to give aspiring chefs and those passionate about
the culinary arts an opportunity to gain hands-on experience and a real insight into the industry. The initiative is open to anyone at any stage of their life - from students exploring new career paths to curious seasoned food enthusiasts, or those looking to make a career change, this is a chance to get an insider understanding of what it's like to work in Ireland’s leading restaurants, hotels, bakeries, cafes and workplace kitchens. Those who have already embarked on a chef career can also use the opportunity to get experience in a different sector or establishment type.

​One common challenge for kitchens is how to maintain a clean and safe kitchen environment. Contaminants such as grease and water are an ever-present concern, but with Altro's specialist safety floor, hygienic wall sheet system, and hygienic doorsets, kitchens can achieve a level of cleanliness that meets Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP) approval and Health and Safety Executive (HSE) standards. Altro's comprehensive system not only ensures the safety of kitchen staff and customers but also upholds environmental standards.
