Is Your Team Trained to Serve or Trained to Care? 💡

Quality training should not be seen as simply a bonus in the hospitality and F&B industries, it should be the standard. Employees who have received quality training are more likely to enhance a restaurant's customer experience. As a result, training can help your establishment excel while simultaneously supporting your employees in their efforts to advance their professional careers.

At Aphrodite Advisory, training is at the core of our operations. We are committed to providing restaurant management with the tools to elevate hospitality excellence through our training. Our courses are carefully designed to cover a variety of service-related topics, such as serving techniques, communication skills, hygiene, and more.

However, our training is more than simply developing soft and hard skills; it is also about fostering a hospitality-driven mindset that is apparent during service. 🧠

For more information on what training courses we have available message us on LinkedIn or comment ‘interested’ below.

F&B: Where Innovation Meets Ex*****on

The F&B industry is driven by constant innovation and passion. It is bursting with creatives who seek to realise their vision. Whether it's the meal quality, the atmosphere or the aesthetics, a vision is set out to be made. F&B is centred on providing guests with experiences that take them away from their daily routines and transport them to a culinary world of senses. This is where the passion for great hospitality is executed.

For instance, Hospitality News Middle East (2025, May) recently highlighted how Giovanni Bolandrini redefined Egyptian cuisine by creating a new experience out of the food. He co-founded Pier 88 in Egypt of which they operate nine restaurants around Egypt, including Khufu’s which the World’s 50 Best Restaurants in 2025 has ranked fourth in restaurants in the MENA region.

Giovanni Bolandrini’s forward thinking growth oriented mindset is prominent in his work, especially since Pier 88 is looking to expand in Cairo Business Park in late 2025. There is also intention to expand internationally, with the vision that Khufu’s can become a global ambassador for Egyptian cuisine.

As there is an abundance of innovation in the F&B industry it is important to keep updated on news and trends in the industry.
