He will set the tone and style for the venue and make regular appearances in the kitchen. Recruitment is the underway for an Executive Chef and kitchen team to bring Gareth’s gastronomic concept to fruition.

I started my culinary career in hotels working at The Queens Hotel in Portsmouth, so it’s great to come full circle and land at this highly anticipated hotel opening on 1 Queen Street.

I can’t wait to welcome and delight diners when the doors open to InterContinental Auckland later this year,” said Gareth.

Restaurant accessibility: How to run an inclusive restaurant
As a restaurant owner, you strive to make your restaurant welcoming to all customers. Yet without proper accessibility modifications, it can be difficult for those with disabilities to enjoy your delicious food. 61 million adults in the US have a disability. Prioritizing restaurant accessibility allows your business to be inclusive of all.
Designing an accessible restaurant can be daunting, but by following ADA standards you can provide a barrier-free dining experience for customers with disabilities. Not sure where to start? Take a look at our tips on how to make your restaurant accessible.
What is an ADA restaurant?
The Americans with Disabilities Act (or ADA) is a law that prohibits discrimination against individuals with disabilities in all areas of public life, including restaurants. The purpose of this law is to make sure public spaces are accessible for everyone, regardless of physical ability. This law also requires equal employment opportunities for individuals with disabilities.
Title III of the ADA directs businesses to make “reasonable modifications” to their operations when serving people with disabilities. As a business owner, you have a responsibility to make sure that your restaurant is ADA compliant. If you need to make alterations to your restaurant to improve accessibility, your business may be eligible for two federal tax incentives in order to fund the adjustments. There may also be state or local accessibility regulations for your restaurant as well.
6 tips to promote restaurant accessibility
Title III of the ADA states that restaurants must make sure their business facilities are accessible and meet federal standards. So what does accessibility look like? Take a look at these six tips on how to make your restaurant accessible.
1. Update entrances, exits and parking
Your customers’ restaurant experience begins before they even step foot inside. Patrons can’t enjoy your cuisine if they can’t get to your front door. Make sure that there is at least one route from your property’s arrival point to your restaurant that does not require the use of stairs. You may need to add an accessible ramp (less than a 2% slope), handrails or a lift.
If your business has parking, you must provide accessible parking spaces – including van accessible spots. You should have one accessible parking spot for every 25 spots in your lot. Check out ADA’s checklist to learn more about how many accessible parking spaces your restaurant needs.
The entrances and exits of your restaurant must accommodate different abilities. Your door should be able to open 90 degrees, and your entrances and hallways must have at least a 36 inch width. Check to see if your door handles and entrance ways can be navigated by people in wheelchairs. Not all buildings are the same, and the ADA outlines what policy your business should follow to meet the requirements.
2. Design an inclusive dining room
Once customers get through your door, you want to make sure they can navigate your restaurant freely. This means creating a 36-inch aisle to separate fixed seating. To meet the ADA requirements for wheelchair seating, 5% of your tables should be accessible.
Your goal is to make your dining room a comfortable space for everyone. You may consider reserving special hours for different groups like an early bird special for elders, a family-friendly dining hour or sensory-friendly events. Restaurants across the country are finding creative ways to make their business accommodate different needs, such as dedicating quiet dining areas for those with hearing or sensory challenges.
Accessible restrooms offer ample room for wheelchair users to steer around toilets and sinks. You may need to install an accessible stall with safety bars or add braille to your signage. The ADA further outlines how to design an accessible restroom.
3. Check service mobility
The way your restaurant is designed should allow people with disabilities to order and obtain food without assistance. If your restaurant offers self-service, it needs to be accessible. This means wide service spaces, reachable counters, accessible signs and an easy-to-navigate service route. If your menu is posted on the wall, have paper and online versions of your menu to accommodate those with vision impairments.
Customers of all ability levels should be able to get their food easily. Walkways should be at least 36 inches wide, and accessible check out counters must have a maximum height of 38 inches. Check that all your hallways, service routes, checkout stations and elevators comply with the ADA requirements.
4. Provide employee training
Thorough employee training is a must for any restaurant. Onboarding processes ensure that the employees clearly understand expectations and give them the confidence to perform their job successfully.
The ADA mandates accessibility in the workplace. Your onboarding process and materials should accommodate the various needs of employees with different ability levels. These training programs should be accessible for workers with disabilities, foreign language speakers and other demographics within your organization.
Your employee training should also give your staff the tools to accommodate all customers. This includes knowing where accessible tables are, asking diners about their allergies and any other accessibility procedures at your business. If a customer asks about accessible features, your staff should be ready to provide this information.
5. Create an accessible website
While the ADA does not address digital accessibility, reviewing the convenience of your website is good practice to ensure it can be navigated by all your customers. Following the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) international standards will allow people of all abilities to digest your content.
To start, your website should:
- Add proper alt text to images so it can be interpreted by screen readers or Braille devices
- Include headings, readable fonts, color contrast and white space
- Use descriptive URLs, photo captions and text
Don’t have a restaurant website? When you partner with Grubhub you get access to Direct, a commission-free online ordering site for your restaurant. Direct uses integrated management and branded customer experiences to make your operations run smoothly. It’s also easy to customize to reflect your brand while prioritizing an easy customer experience.
6. Design accessible menus
Designing accessible menus can help ensure that every customer can use your offerings. Accessible menus use design techniques and organization so that customers can read menus comfortably and efficiently, regardless of their abilities. Start by using a legible font on your paper menus, and make sure the menu pages are not too overstuffed. Following basic menu engineering tips will make your menus readable, logical and enticing.
Organizing your menu based on different classifications will make it easier for diners to navigate. Adding semantic markups to these classifications will also help those who use assistive technology to read your menu.
Technology has made it easier for those with disabilities to navigate digital menus. Creating a digital menu for your restaurant in plain text format (not PDF) will help those with assistive devices interpret your offerings. If you offer a QR code menu, keep some paper copies on hand.
Expand your reach with Grubhub
Prioritizing accessibility makes it possible for your restaurant to serve more customers. Offering takeout and delivery services can help expand your reach – allowing customers to enjoy your cuisine from the comfort of their home. When you partner with Grubhub you get instant access to 33+ million customers who are eager to order their next meal. Our technology can seamlessly integrate your POS system and simplify your menu management, increasing efficiency and reducing errors.

How Hotel Pricing is Going to Change in the Age of AI
Imagine a world where your hotel knows what a guest wants even before they do. A world where your pricing strategy is not just about numbers, but about understanding choices, dreams, and the urge to travel. A world where your revenue management and marketing teams work hand in hand to craft personalized offers that guests can’t resist. Sounds utopian right? Well, with Artificial Intelligence (AI), this dream is becoming a reality.
Over the last few months, we have seen ChatGPT, Bard and other travel-technology companies use Large Language models to fundamentally alter the way travelers looked for inspiration, searched for options and how they planned travel. The two-decade old process of searching for options in silos finally appears to be broken – and a near human like conversational experience is now being created where travelers can share an abstract vision of the type of travel they want to experience and the LLM powered bots will share the closest matches to their vision.
Personalizing Pricing with AI
AI is enabling a new level of personalization in the hospitality industry. By analyzing vast amounts of data quickly, AI can understand individual preferences, needs, and the urge to travel, allowing hotels to tailor their offerings to each guest. This level of personalization enhances the guests’ experience, leading to increased customer satisfaction and loyalty.
For example, AI when coupled with a language model, can not only understand past booking behaviors but also preferences for future stays. This could range from their preferred room type and amenities to their dietary preferences and activities of interest. By personalizing the guest experience in this manner, hotels can not only enhance guest satisfaction but also maximize their revenue by upselling personalized services and offerings.
While hoteliers might see this as an additional layer of complexity, the right way to see it is an opportunity to differentiate their offerings not only within the hotel, but even before the guest has made the decision to book with them. The level of customization also allows them to charge a premium depending on the type of property the revenue management team is handling.
Making TRevPAR a success with AI
AI as most of you might understand is the layer that sits on top of all the data that is collected. This collected data allows AI to stay informed, build context and suggest solutions or alternatives that can work in the real world. An application that uses case in hospitality is providing recommendations to end travelers and helping them have a better experience, as well as connecting with PMS systems to understand and tackle guest queries.
For instance, an AI assistant can understand a user’s query, provide relevant information, and even suggest personalized recommendations. This not only enhances the user experience but also reduces the workload on customer service teams, allowing them to focus on more complex tasks.
With AI being able to provide prompt response and service, this allows the opportunity to upsell and create room for generating higher revenues.
However, based on consumption patterns – in the future when guests return to book with a certain chain, the chain can nudge the user to add on the ancillaries he ordered at a discount – ensuring that the extra revenue is guaranteed as well as the guest feels they are able to get a good price for the add on.
In addition to this, using AI hotels can drive more traffic to their apps or websites as that is where you can serve the offer, and not on the OTA.
The Blurring Lines between Marketing and Revenue Teams
With the rise of hyper-personalization, the lines between revenue management and marketing are blurring. Revenue managers are no longer just setting prices based on supply and demand. They are now working closely with marketing teams to understand what the right offer is for each individual customer.
For example, by analyzing a customer’s booking history and online behavior, revenue managers and marketing teams can determine the types of offers and promotions that the customer is most likely to respond to. This could range from discounted rates and package deals to personalized add-ons and services.
In this context, the role of revenue managers is evolving from simply setting prices to crafting personalized offers that maximize both customer satisfaction and revenue.
So, what can you do?
As AI continues to evolve, so will the role of revenue managers as the trip planning and booking process undergoes a massive change.
Revenue managers will need to understand and leverage AI to craft personalized pricing strategies, work closely with marketing teams to understand customer behavior, and make data-driven decisions to maximize revenue.
Remember, the advent of AI is not a threat to revenue managers, but an opportunity. It’s an opportunity to enhance their strategies, provide more personalized experiences to guests, and ultimately, drive more revenue. As we move into the future, the role of revenue managers will be more important than ever, and those who can adapt and leverage AI will be at the forefront of the industry.

The best restaurant summer menu ideas for 2023
Summer is peak tourist season in the US, which means restaurants experience more foot traffic and higher order volumes. If you’ve been wanting to experiment with fresh dishes, now’s the perfect time — new restaurant summer menu ideas can keep locals and visitors coming back all season long.
Menu tips: 4 easy ways to make your summer menu stand out
A tantalizing summer menu appeals to loyal diners and new customers alike. To make it a success, try these tips:
- Go with lighter fare. When it’s hot outside, many customers prefer meals that aren’t too heavy. Look for ingredients that feel refreshing and healthy, including fresh vegetables, fruits, herbs and lean meats.
- Offer more kid-friendly options. Summer is a big time for family travel; to bring in larger, high-value groups, make sure your menu has a few kid-approved meals. Grilled cheese, cookies, corn dogs and chicken strips are always crowd pleasers for younger diners.
- Tempt your diners with summer menu promotions. Combo meals, buy-one-get-one offers and afternoon happy hour promotions encourage customers to choose your restaurant over a competitor. For people who are deciding between ordering delivery and cooking at home in the heat, a great promo can be the deciding factor.
- Showcase your most refreshing summer drinks. Complement your light, fresh food items with a special summer drink menu.
8 summer menu ideas to inspire your restaurant
Ready to get started? Use these menu ideas to refresh your restaurant’s menu for the warmer months.
1. Use fresh, local ingredients
Have you ever noticed that locally grown, seasonal food tends to taste better? That’s because it doesn’t have to travel far to reach you. Short transit times mean farmers can harvest at peak ripeness, when flavors are at their best. Use this to your advantage by incorporating fresh fruits, vegetables and herbs into your summer menu. Sourcing local ingredients can both cut costs and highlight local flavors.
The foods you choose will depend on your location and climate, but some summer favorites include:
- Fruits like watermelon, mangoes, peaches and berries
- Vegetables like cherry tomatoes, avocados, bell peppers, arugula, sugar snap peas, cabbage and zucchini
- Herbs like basil, dill, mint, rosemary, oregano and cilantro
2. Grill meat and vegetables
For many Americans, summer is the most popular grilling season. Tap into that traditional experience by adding grilled, charbroiled or smoked foods to your menu. After all, what says summer is better than a freshly charred hamburger with lettuce, cheddar cheese, pickles, red onions and crispy bacon?
Start with classics such as grilled burgers, pork chops and barbecued chicken and add in a few vegan-friendly options such as mushroom caps, sweet potatoes, vegetables and corn on the cob. If your location allows, set up a grill outside so the delicious aromas can tempt diners in from the street.
3. Cook up cold sides to refresh your guests
Too many hot foods can feel overwhelming when the temperature is high. To help your guests cool off, pair your entrees with a choice of cold sides. Options to consider include:
- Salad pasta
- Fresh fruit
- Coleslaw
- Side salads with mixed greens
- Cold potato salad
The best part? You can prepare the most cold sides in advance, which streamlines food preparation during the lunch or dinner rush. Just make sure to keep them refrigerated to reduce the risk of foodborne illness.
4. Offer seafood delights
Light and flavourful, seafood is a popular summer food — especially when you pair it with fresh herbs or citrus sauces or marinades. To appeal to health-conscious diners, add a few menu items that feature seafood options such as grilled fish, shrimp, crab cakes or scallops. If your business is located near water, use locally caught products for maximum flavor and freshness.
5. Serve chilled soup
Cold soup is the perfect starter for summer. Gazpacho, cucumber soup and vichyssoise satisfy customers without making them sweat. For extra appeal, choose soup recipes that include fresh herbs, colorful vegetable garnishes, goat cheese or a dollop of sour cream.
6. Sweeten your guests with fresh dessert
Dessert is one of the trickiest parts of a warm-weather menu; your goal is to offer sweet treats that won’t feel heavy or loaded with sugar. The solution? Select desserts that feature fruit as a main ingredient. Consider dishes such as strawberry shortcake, cherry pie, and parfaits, or keep it cool with sorbets, granitas and ice cream. Frozen lemonade pie, gourmet ice cream sandwiches, flaky pastries and lemon tarts also feel fresh and summery.
7. Take the edge off with cool beverages
Help guests start and end their meals on a refreshing note with a lineup of cold beverages. Cater to the cocktail crowd with seasonal beverages including margaritas, strawberry daiquiris, mojitos and Palomas. Don’t forget to add a few mocktails and iced refreshers — sweet, frozen drinks made with fruit, sparkling soda, and fresh herbs to make any meal feel special.
Add a lime wedge or fruit garnish to make the drink more appealing; colorful cocktails photograph beautifully, so you can promote them on social media during the summer holidays.
8. Highlight your seasonal specials
Some ingredients, such as ramps, are only available during certain times of the year. Make things more interesting this summer by incorporating these delicious foods into a seasonal menu. It’s a fun way to get creative while keeping your menu more dynamic and engaging for new and repeat customers.
Spice up your summer with Grubhub
A seasonal menu is an effective way to bring in more customers during the busy summer season. To get the most from your new food items, make sure to add them to your delivery menu — after all, summer is one of the most high-demand ordering times.

Michael Meredith to join SkyCity with new restaurant –
SkyCity has announced award-winning chef Michael Meredith will be joining the Auckland dining precinct with a new Pacific inspired restaurant, Metita, opening in October 2023.
The much-anticipated restaurant will draw inspiration from Michael’s upbringing in Samoa. Its menu has been crafted to highlight sustainably caught seafood and fresh, locally sourced ingredients.
“Metita is a coming together of my Pacific heritage, my food journey and passion for fresh and seasonal flavors,” says Michael.
Metita will hold a special place in Michael’s heart, having been named after his late mother. Michael says, “I always wanted to name a restaurant after my mum. She introduced me to cooking, and gave me a passion that shaped my path in life.”
Richard Seldon, SkyCity Executive Manager, Food & Beverage, says, “Michael is a chef who takes you on a journey with his food, his values and vision. This restaurant is going to elevate how we perceive Pacific food in New Zealand.”
Michael hopes to create new memories of what Pacific food feels like, reimagining traditional classic flavors for contemporary tastes.
“Metita will be quite dynamic. I don’t think people will have had Pacific food quite like it before. My aim is for people to walk away having a memorable experience,” said Michael.
Metita will be the third new hospitality opening for SkyCity Auckland this year. Award-winning Indian restaurant Cassia, and a new popular Champagne bar, SkyBar, have recently opened in the precinct.
Metita will be located in The Grand by SkyCity, in the space formerly housed by Gusto at the Grand.
Michael Meredith joins chefs Sid Sahrawat, Nic Watt and Al Brown in the kitchen tomorrow for the sold out SkyCity Matariki Feast event, which sees all four chefs collaborating on a six-course menu.

How restaurant AI can work for your business
When you think of restaurant AI, you might imagine a kitchen run by sophisticated robots. While automated chefs may be possible in the future, current restaurant technology solutions are focused on driving efficiency and improving the customer experience. Restaurants are using AI technology to streamline every aspect of operations, including ordering, delivery, back-of-house workflows and supply-chain management.
The best part? AI is readily available — in fact, you can start implementing it in your restaurant today.
How AI is being used in restaurants today
AI is everywhere in the restaurant industry; in many cases, companies are building machine learning into existing systems to create a more convenient and efficient process. Some of the AI tools in use today include:
- AI-enabled self-serve kiosks. Self-serve kiosks have provided a convenient ordering experience for years. With the addition of AI, they can deliver extra personalization — by recommending a menu item based on the person’s past orders, for example, or recognizing customer loyalty rewards. Restaurants, including Panera Bread, also allow customers to use kiosks to redeem subscription programs. Some kiosks can even scan a customer’s tray, identify the items and charge accordingly.
- AI-powered inventory management systems. This type of AI system analyzes your restaurant data to help you forecast inventory needs, order efficiently and ensure you always have the right ingredients on hand. Point-of-sales systems use this technology to improve the way you manage your business.
- Voice search. Some restaurants are integrating voice-powered virtual assistants such as Siri or Alexa into the ordering process. That way, customers can simply tell the system what they’d like to order — even if they’re driving home or doing household chores. As this technology evolves, voice AI might also be able to schedule restaurants or answer questions about the menu.
- Food delivery apps. Apps such as Grubhub use AI to deliver a seamless experience for guests and restaurants. The system can analyze data to offer compelling promotions and make personalized recommendations based on order history or customer preferences.
- Scheduling systems. AI-driven scheduling software tracks and correlates sales data, employee hours and individual performance. Then, it can recommend staffing levels, suggest schedules and identify opportunities for training and improvement.
Artificial intelligence is also helping food-service businesses improve the customer experience. One of the most futuristic applications is the self-driving robot — restaurants are using these small devices to run food from the kitchen or deliver food off-site. The robots add an element of fun for customers and reduce labor requirements. On a more practical level, restaurants can use AI to suggest wine pairings, ensure accurate customer orders and detect and prevent payment fraud.
Pros and cons of AI in restaurants
As with any new tool, AI technology has both pros and cons for restaurant owners and restaurant operators. If you’re thinking about implementing AI-driven systems, it’s important to understand the realities of the process.
Advantages of AI in restaurants:
- Reduce food waste by tracking stock and improving order accuracy
- Improve ordering and inventory management
- Create a more pleasant, convenient and personalized guest experience
- Improve customer satisfaction
- Save time for customers and restaurant employees
- Cut costs for labor and food waste
Disadvantages of AI in restaurants:
- Expensive to purchase and implement
- Extra training requirements
- Stored customer data creates privacy and security concerns
- Confusing operation for older guests
- Costly, time-consuming maintenance
How AI could impact the future of the restaurant industry
There’s no doubt about it: Restaurant AI is here to stay. If you run a food-service business, it’s important to track emerging and ongoing trends — that way, you can make smarter investment decisions and keep up with the technology as it changes the restaurant industry.
Based on the latest AI trends in restaurants, it’s safe to expect tech companies to direct their attention to solving common industry problems. One pressing issue? Labor shortages. AI technology has the potential to reduce the number of employees restaurants need to operate at full capacity.
- Fully automated drive-throughs: Using voice-recognition technology, drive-through systems can interact with customers like a voice assistant. Restaurants wouldn’t need to hire a person to work the intercom, and they could take a large number of orders simultaneously.
- Automated food prep: For businesses that use premade ingredients and limited menu selections, AI could streamline some or all of the food-prep processes in the restaurant operations. Chipotle has tested a robot that makes tortilla chips, and pizza vending machines are already using this technology to prepare, bake, package and dispense pizzas.
- Automated food delivery. Self-driving delivery robots use AI to plan a route, navigate sidewalks, and verify the customer’s identity. As weatherproofing, security, and traffic sensors improve, these robots can handle short-range restaurant deliveries.
It’s likely that artificial intelligence will be used to deliver a more personalized customer experience. Writing tools such as ChatGPT could be trained to write menu descriptions and respond to customer service emails, social media comments and reviews. Automated marketing programs might track guest behavior, manage customer segmentation, identify triggers and automatically send discount codes or promotional emails exactly when a person is in the mood to buy.
Customer data collection made easy
Every AI solution depends on a steady flow of data — the more information you can input, the better results the AI algorithm can deliver. Whether you’re planning to implement artificial intelligence in a few months or a few years, now is a great time to start collecting data on your business and your customers. Grubhub can help you get a head start. When you join, the system automatically starts gathering information about customers, orders and revenue. You always have access to customer data, and the system’s built-in data analytics can help you track sales, monitor orders and keep an eye on customer demand.
