Millennium hotel colab provides safe crèche for Kiwis to thrive –
A new kiwi conservation partnership allows guests of the hotel group, Millennium Hotels and Resorts New Zealand, an opportunity to donate a meal or a ‘room’ for a night to Save the Kiwi. This innovative approach sees the guest simply reducing their own room servicing needs and ensures a kiwi gets fed in a safe environment to grow.
Save the Kiwi, a conservation charity dedicated to the preservation of New Zealand’s national icon has entered this partnership with the Millennium hospitality group with 18 hotels throughout New Zealand. From 1 July, every time a guest has choosen the daily ‘no room servicing’ option at any of its Millennium, Copthorne, Kingsgate or M Social hotels in New Zealand, the group has donated a meal for a Kiwi at Save the Kiwi’s crèche in Napier. For larger conference groups, for every five rooms that aren’t serviced by housekeeping, Millennium Hotels and Resorts New Zealand donates a room for a night in the kiwi crèche.
The partnership will focus on supporting kiwi conservation efforts through various initiatives aimed at raising awareness and providing a safe environment for kiwi to hatch and grow, ready to be returned to the wild.
Stuart Harrison, Managing Director of Millennium Hotels and Resorts New Zealand: “Providing a safe place for young kiwi to grow, daily meals and a ‘room’ for their night in the Napier kiwi crèche has great synergies, as Millennium Hotels and Resorts does this every day for our guests. Our support of meals and ‘rooms’ for kiwi is just the start of Millennium’s commitment to Save the Kiwi and an important part of our sustainability initiatives.”
Save the Kiwi has been at the forefront of kiwi conservation for more than 30 years, working tirelessly to ensure the survival and flourishing of this iconic bird species. Their expertise, passion, and dedication have played a significant role in increasing the kiwi population throughout New Zealand.
Michelle Impey, Executive Director of Save the Kiwi, said “With Millennium’s strong commitment to hospitality and sustainability, we can continue to rear chicks in our Napier kiwi crèche until they reach a ‘stoat-proof’ weight of around 1kg. After this point, usually around three months, they are released into a predator-managed habitat in the wild to grow and breed the next generation of kiwi.”
Stuart continues: “We are proud to join forces with Save the Kiwi to support this vital conservation work being done to protect the kiwi. With our properties located throughout New Zealand, we understand the importance of preserving New Zealand’s unique wildlife, and this partnership allows us to contribute directly to this significant cause.”
By joining forces, Save the Kiwi and Millennium Hotels and Resorts New Zealand aim to continue to make a significant difference in the preservation of Aotearoa’s national icon, kiwi.

Macdonald family open store to champion high country farming –
The Kaikōura based Macdonald family has announced the opening of Middlehurst Station Farm Store, a thoughtfully curated farm store and boutique butchery located in the heart of the Kāikoura township.
This farm store will serve as a haven for residents and visitors seeking fresh meat, locally sourced produce, and a diverse selection of seasonal products.
“Kaikōura is renowned for its remarkable food and artisan producers, and we couldn’t be more thrilled to contribute to this thriving community,” says Lucy Macdonald, one of the sisters behind the visionary Middlehurst Station Farm Store. “We’ve always dreamed of creating a space where we can connect with our customers directly and showcase the best of New Zealand’s high-country farming.”
For the Macdonald family, parents Susan and Willie, and children Sophie, Lucy, Henry and Skye, the farm store represents a natural progression in their family business.
“It brings us great joy to see our children actively involved in the family business, evolving it into something extraordinary. Opening a farm store felt like the logical next step for our business, aligning perfectly with our values and overall vision,” said Susan Macdonald.
The Macdonald family envisions that the farm store will make a positive impact on the local economy. By championing local producers, they hope to foster a new avenue for sales for Kaikōura’s hardworking individuals and families.
Lucy added, “We want to showcase as many artisanal Canterbury, Kaikōura and Marlborough products as possible. We can’t wait to give local producers another avenue to sell their amazing products.”
The Middlehurst Station Farm Store is also kitted out with a fully certified butchery and talented local butcher, Brogan Matthews. Brogan will be responsible for preparing and providing fresh, premium cuts of Middlehurst Station lamb and beef and Patoa Pork.
Lucy Macdonald, expressed her enthusiasm about the expansion, saying, “We’re excited to level up our offering. Our mission has always been to make premium high-country lamb accessible to New Zealanders. And this is our chance.”
In addition to serving local customers, Middlehurst Station Farm Store will continue to extend its services to accommodate wholesale and hospitality venues at both local and national levels. This expansion will enable more people to access and enjoy the exceptional quality products Middlehurst Station is renowned for.
The Middlehurst Station Farm Store opens on Saturday, 8 July and the family invites everyone from the region to come and experience the rich flavours, seasonal delights, and warm hospitality that Kaikōura is renowned for.

Ouch, Siesta Key ranks among the worst hotel service in the nation, study shows
Does a room with a paradisal view make up for poor hotel service? apparently not.
Despite being recognized for having one of the best beaches in the country and in the world by Tripadvisor, Siesta Key was ranked the 4th worst city for hotel service out of 20 cities, according to a study from Planetware.
The study analyzed nearly 8 million hotel reviews from more than 9,000 hotels across 95 US cities to determine those with the worst hotel reviews, worst hotel service, and the common complaints made.
Based on their methodology, they took the millions of hotel reviews and formed a percentage of all analyzed hotel reviews in a given city that were 1-star or 2-star reviews. Rankings for worst hotel service were based on the frequency of keywords mentioned in bad reviews.
What other Florida cities made the list for worst hotel service?
Five Florida cities made the top 20 list for worst hotel service:
Miami Beach – 1
Key West – 10
Panama City Beach – 12
Fort Lauderdale – 15
Daytona Beach – 19

What city had the worst hotel reviews?
Topping the list for the most one and two-star reviews at 20% is Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.

What other cities made the list of worst reviews?
The top 15 cities with the worst reviews are:
Myrtle Beach, South Carolina
Atlantic City, New Jersey
Virginia Beach, Virginia
San Jose, California
South Padre Island, Texas
Memphis, Tennessee
Tampa, Florida
San Antonio, Texas
KansasCity, Missouri
Columbus, Ohio
Indianapolis, Indiana
Lexington, Kentucky
Phoenix, Arizona
Nashville, Tennessee
Galveston, Texas
What are the most common bad reviews left for hotels?
Nationally the most common bad reviews left for hotels:
How do I make sure I’m booking a good hotel?
As for cleanliness after you book, nonprofit founder Christopher Elliott offered tips for USA Today in 2021 on how to tell if your room is actually clean, such as:
Read online reviews. User-generated online reviews are a great source of cleanliness ratings. He recommends a zero-tolerance policy at a time like this, adding if he sees just one review that suggests the hotel isn’t taking sanitation seriously, he usually books elsewhere.
Pay attention to high-touch surfaces. At a hotel, that would be the doorknobs and TV remotes. Often, they aren’t cleaned between guests, says Roman Peysakhovich, CEO of Onedesk, a commercial cleaning company. “This carries serious risks in terms of passing germs.” His advice: Clean them yourself as a precaution.
Look for real evidence of cleaning. Some hotels place seals on the door, and others shrink-wrap your TV remote in plastic. He wrote that the two most proven methods were looking for dirt and dust and giving the room a sniff test. If you smell a faint odor of cleaner and don’t see any dirt, that’s usually a good sign.

Taylor Swift parties, events before Eras Tour in Denver on July 14, 15
Whether or not you’re going to Taylor Swift’s concerts at Empower Field at Mile High next week, you’re in good company.
Fans of the singer-songwriter and her Eras Tour, which plays Denver on Friday, July 14, and Saturday, July 15, scrambled to snag tickets the moment they went on sale earlier this year, ensuring both instant sell-outs and disappointment.
But anyone can attend these parallel yet separate Swift-themed events, in which boutique hotels, promoters, bars and upscale shopping complexes cater to people coming to (and from) the shows in downtown Denver. Getting a piece of that action means meeting fans where they are. Literally.
Here’s a quick roundup of Swift-related events that are open to the public, both free and paid. Watch for The Denver Post’s photo slideshow and review of the tour’s opening night in Denver, to be posted on July 15 on denverpost.com/things-to-do/music, and check out a review and photos of her 2018 Reputation Tour show at Empower Field at bit.ly/44dZdAz.
Taylor Swift silent disco
The McGregor Square complex across from Coors Field in Lower Downtown is diving in early with a silent disco and related events on Saturday, July 8. Each $30 admission includes a silent-disco headset to hear a pair of DJs spinning Swift hits “from every era to dance and sing along to,” as well as beer or seltzer included and access to a friendship bracelet-making station, “the Eras Tour must-have accessory.”
There are, of course, Swift-inspired cocktails such as Champagne Problems and Lavender Haze, and The OG and Rally bars will also be serving Swiftie cocktails. Tickets are $30 per person, or $10 for people who book a room on the same night at the Rally Hotel on-site. eventbrite.com or finallyhotel.com
Early Taylor Swift pre-parties
Other events are popping up a week early to take advantage of the run-up to the show: the Queer Taylor Swift pre-party at Denver’s Goldspot Brewing Company welcomes Gaylors (Swifties who theorize that she’s secretly gay) and everyone else with a costume contest , friendship bracelets and flash tattoos, from 3 to 8 pm on Saturday, July 8. The event is free but donations will be collected to benefit nonprofits Khesed Wellness and The Delores Project. eventbrite.com
On July 13, the night before the first concert, Mile High Spirits is also holding a pre-party featuring “all Taylor Swift, all night long” music ($10; eventbrite.com).
Swifties at the Station
The 1-7 pm celebration on July 14 and 15 at Denver’s Union Station will feature DJ Chris C playing fan-favorite Taylor Swift tunes, a “face rhinestone artist” and a pop-up by LINK x LOU “to help you level up your friendship-bracelet game,” organizers wrote. You can also pose for photos in a booth and enter a Best Dressed raffle for prizes that include a one-night stay at The Crawford with a $100 Denver Union Station gift card.
“Terminal Bar will also be pouring special Taylor Swift cocktails, including the Cruel Summer, a Taylor Spritz, a Blank Space and a Lavender Haze, made with Tito’s Vodka, black tea, lavender, Butterfly Pea Syrup, lemon and soda water,” according to the press release. Anyone who buys food or drink from Terminal Bar on July 15 can also take a free TukTuk ride directly to Empower Field from 3:30 to 7:30 pm Events are free but RSVPs are encouraged via eventbrite.com. More at denverunionstation.com/events/swifties-at-the-station
“You Belong With Me” at Thompson Denver
The year-old Thompson Denver hotel is also going the lux route on July 14 and 15 with its Champagne Problems brunch, featuring specials by the bottle or glass, the Lavender Haze cocktail throughout the hotel, a “special merch stand for the ultimate friendship bracelets and temporary tattoos” (think 13 and 22, organizers said), and a “Cruel Summer” party in Reynard Social with Eras songs by Cyberkid. Note: Overnight hotel rates for these dates start at about $800. hyatt.com/thompson-hotels/denth-thompson-denver
Taylor Swift Glam Makeup Experience
LoDo’s Maven Hotel and Poka Lola Social Club joined forces at The Dairy Block for a Glam Makeup Experience on July 14 and 15, with Denver artist Makeup by Peaches “helping fans to rock Taylor’s signature red lip or add a pop of glitter and color to your already fabulous outfit,” organizers wrote. Timed slots are available 2-6 pm both days for $10 per person. Poka Lola will have the Champagne Problems and Lavender Haze cocktails on both days. Registration is required at eventbrite.com. More at themavenhotel.com
Swift City
This elaborate tailgate party will be set up across from Empower Field along Federal Boulevard from 3 to 6 pm on July 14 with food and drinks, activity booths, DJs, selfie backdrops and more ($25). If you can’t go to the show, they’re also hosting a listening party during it ($25) and a 21-and-up post-concert dance party ($25).

How to sell on Grubhub
Technology is no longer optional for food-service businesses — it’s an industry standard. Diners expect their favorite restaurants to offer convenient tech solutions, such as mobile ordering, contactless payments and QR-code menus.
If you’re planning to sell on Grubhub to meet these demands, you’re not alone. Restaurants often partner with food delivery apps to streamline the technology integration process. With Grubhub’s industry-leading platform, it’s easy to add mobile ordering, reach new customers, increase revenue, create loyalty programs, and market your business.
The importance of delivery
Food delivery is an essential part of your restaurant’s operations, especially post-pandemic. The delivery market has doubled in 2020, and although growth has slowed, it is still expected to increase dramatically in the coming years. By 2027, experts expect the US online food delivery market to reach a value of $95.68 billion — $33.25 billion more than the market was worth in 2022.
It’s important to note that as delivery service becomes more popular, customers have developed high expectations. At a minimum, they want seamless online ordering, easy payments and real-time order tracking. They also want the flexibility to opt for pickup on days when they prefer to eat takeaway meals.
What does that mean for your restaurant? It’s not enough to simply offer delivery — you also need to offer a fast, convenient experience. That starts with a high-functioning online ordering system.
At a minimum, your system should:
- Securely store customer payment information
- Create a fast, easy checkout experience
- Come with built-in marketing and promotional tools
- Offer on-platform branding for your restaurant
- Provide access to customer data
A comprehensive ordering platform benefits your customers and your restaurant. Customers can order and pay quickly, so it’s easy to satisfy a craving without unnecessary roadblocks. Each order goes right to your kitchen, reducing labor requirements and streamlining order management. And because you have access to customer data, you can encourage repeat business with targeted promotions right inside the platform.
Ordering systems such as Grubhub also help protect your reputation by connecting you to professional delivery drivers. They know exactly how to pack and transport each meal so it arrives hot and on time.

- Integrated Grubhub technology. Your Grubhub welcome box comes with a tablet you can use to accept and manage orders. You’ll also need to connect a compatible printer to print orders. Alternatively, you can integrate Grubhub with your POS system to ensure each delivery order flows right into your system.
