Hosting since 1955
A hotel that has run without a break for seventy years — and what it means to be a supplier to a property whose standard was built over decades.

Seventy years of a service tradition
It opened in 1955 and has been hosting ever since. The service standard of a hotel that has run for seventy years is not built in a season, and it picks its suppliers on the same timescale. In a property like this, a product is accepted on the strength of repeated deliveries rather than a single order.
Why the napkin set is its own job
The napkin is the single-use item a hotel guest touches most often. In a breakfast hall it reaches the table thousands of times a day, and each time it repeats the hotel's language. Decorative bamboo picks follow the same logic: in canapé and cocktail service they are part of the presentation as much as of the food.
What this demonstrates
That we can meet the expectations of a hotel with institutional memory, whose standard formed over decades. Becoming a supplier at a property like that is a different thing from winning a tender.
Napkin consumption in high-turnover breakfast and banquet service runs higher than expected; the season plan is worth working out together.
