3D TVs in Sports Bar

"3D" is another buzzword in today's business --- 3D movies, 3D TVs, 3D cameras, etc. A businessman brought 3D TVs to his sports bar (as shown in the first ABCNews video). It seems that this new tech gadget received warm welcome by customers.

I think 3D TVs are excellent in showing sports, motion movies, and cartoons, but there is a problem ---different 3D TVs require unique lenses. These lenses are not cheap, and they only work for one particular brand. The good news is we will soon be able to watch 3D TVs without glasses. The second CNNNews video demonstrates the future of 3D TVs that do not need special glasses.

3D TVs in general are not cheap. Business owners want to see the return on investment. As to customers though, when you choose a sports bar, which factor seems most important to you? 3D TVs, cool beer, great food, good service, the clientele of the bar, or some other factors?

In what ways will AI affect restaurant operations?

A new wave of industrial revolution is here --- AI (artificial intelligence) will change everything we do. Undoubtedly, AI can improve restaurant operations. Menu Engineering and Quality Control AI can provide insights into a restaurant’s menu offerings and pricing strategies based on consumer data and market trends. Restaurant owners can adjust the recipes/menu and price accordingly. AI can help restaurants monitor food temperature, cleanliness, and safety procedures, ensuring they comply with health and safety regulations. For example, AI can remind a sushi chef to replace a sushi plate that has been “sitting” on the conveyor belt for too long with a more popular item. Consumer Experience AI can help restaurants create location-based, personalized marketing campaigns to reach specific and targeted customers at the right time. Then, AI-empowered chatbots, reservation, and table management systems can help restaurants an...

Is It OK for Hotel Staff to Wear Piercings and Tattoos?

Time has changed. I see more and more college students wearing piercings and tattoos nowadays, but is it OK for hotel staff to wear piercings and tattoos? The answer is “no, no, no.” According a report at USAToday.com, customers across the board do not want to see any hotel workers with pierced eyebrow, pierced tongue, tattooed arm, or nose ring. Some may argue that tattooed and pierced workers may seem more acceptable in edgy boutique hotels as compared to the big franchised hotels, but the survey results did not find any differences among a variety of lodging products. Many respondents believe people who wear visible tattoos and piercings are taking a high risk of their professional lives. If you stay in a hotel, do you mind being served by tattooed and/or pierced staff? What if you are the one who makes the hiring decision?
