FOH has been supplying creative serving pieces to hospitality operators since the late '90s. And, their display at this year's Florida Restaurant & Lodging Show was no different. It’s often a challenge to have ALL of your tableware from different manufacturers match.

Building a brand based upon the customer experience.
What would your customers say about their experience with your brand? “Five Guys does zero advertising, but by delivering consistently great customer experience, they’re able to build a word-of-mouth buzz that continues to bring new customers through the door,” said Market Force Chief Marketing Officer Janet Eden-Harris in a statement. Yesterday's Los Angeles Times has a story on research company Market Force and a survey of 7600 consumers that they completed that showed Five Guys to be America's favorite burger chain.

Table lighting is a category that we continue to look to explore and cover deeper. And when you look at this important component of hospitality tabletop, one of the leaders you are drawn to is Candle Lamp. In addition to great lighting and heating products, Candle Lamp offers a wide variety of training videos and instruction to improve any restaurants overall operating. Candle Lamp has made so many advancements in the fuel market that we have become the America’s #1 fuel supplier. One of the newest tools to come from Candle Lamp is a new mobile app that makes it easy to find and choose the right lighting for any restaurant. The MyLamp Pro mobile app from Candle Lamp provides easy access to more than one hundred different candles for restaurants. You can use this app to see how they would look when set out on the tables at your establishment. Why is choosing the right candles and supplies so important to the ambience in any restaurant? Well, there are three factors working together to create customer satisfaction: the food, the service, and the ambiance. If you neglect any of these, your restaurant is likely to suffer. Ambiance is of particular importance because it affects the presentation and appearance of the food, it creates a mood, and it gives a certain aura to the establishment. Tabletop lighting and dim general lights are essential in higher-end restaurants because, even when it gets very busy, the candle on the table provides a sense of intimacy and the surrounding tables seem to disappear. Here’s how Candle Lamp’s new mobile app works. Set place-settings on a table in your restaurant as if guests were about to dine there. Then, simply sit at the table and slide back until you are an arm’s length away from the edge of the table. Next, launch the new mobile app and hold your iPhone or tablet perpendicular so the edge of the table lines up with the bottom grid line shown on the screen. Finally, snap a photo. Now you’re ready to select from a wide range of candles and supplies and slip them into the photograph. This enables you to preview more than one hundred styles of lighting options before you make your final purchase. The greatest benefit of this new mobile app is that it gives you unfailing confidence that the candles you choose will look great on the tables of your establishment.
