Objective: digital management to keep profitability under control

The Hospitality 4.0 Congress, which this year has grown to 12 auditoriums, 32 summits, 372 sessions and more than 757 speakers, is held within the framework of HIP. Our CEO, Federico Fritzsch, has participated once again this year as a speaker. (now eight), this time in three sessions in which he analyzed the current state of the digital highway, presented the success story of Ramses District in management digitization and moderated an interesting panel on digitization of the relationship with suppliers in which the entire value chain of the Horeca Channel was represented. 

In his presentation on the current state of the highway to digitization of the CanalFederico set out five points where we have made progress as an industry over the last decade and especially over the past year. As he shared in the Digital Theatre to a packed auditorium during his three sessions, in the last 12 months, five issues related to the digitization of the Channel have been consolidated of the Canal:

 

  • The interest in the digitization of management management, in a more conscious way.
  • The integrationswhose absence or deficient presence often frustrates digitization projects.
  • The new technologies in integrations.
  • The web applications (cloud).
  • And the SaaS solutions solutions on a pay-per-use basis.

Among the things to improveFederico pointed out two: the integration of online platforms and portals of distributors and suppliers with order and warehouse management platforms, and that integrations should preferably be done with the latest technology. We share his complete speech in the video below these lines.

Ramses Districta reference in Madrid's leisure scene since 2007, is one of the most innovative and disruptive restaurant groups in the capital. It is made up of five spaces, all of them benchmarks to follow: Ramses, Patio de Leones, The Kave, Lady Bongo and Flamenco de Leones. After twelve weeks of work, good planning and commitment, Ramses District is also an example of how to digitize management well and focus it on profitability. 

Our CEO presented his success story at HIPHe was accompanied by the owner of the Group, Jorge Ramses Llovet; Luis San Segundo, CEO of Cookdata (the Business Intelligence used by the group); Patricia Valdez, Food and Beverage Controller at Ramses District; and Arancha Padilla, CFO of the group. You can watch the full panel in the following video. We recommend you not to miss it.

Our relationship with suppliers is keybecause it has a strong and direct impact on operations: orders, receipts, invoicing, reconciliation of delivery notes and invoices. For this reason, the third session led by Federico at HIP focused on describing a digitization automation that has managed to coordinate many of the actors involved in the order process: order, receipt, delivery note, invoice, invoice reconciliation and posting of invoice.

The session was attended by leading professionals and experts in the supplier-hospitality digitalization flow: Ramón Jiménez, co-founder and director of Grupo NOMO; Mireia Borrás, deputy CCO at Quantum; Daniel Ibáñez, Ecommerce & Digital Manager at Bidfood; and Marc Mañas de Khuen, CPO at Voxel. We share the full video below.
