FOOD & BEVERAGE

FOOD & BEVERAGE
Put your brand’s food and beverage offerings at the forefront of the guest experience. Drive the success of your properties with unique dining services that complement your operations.
The role of food & beverage in a hotel is no longer second to operations, but is in the forefront of the guest experience and an integral part of the success of a property - from its bar and restaurant to catering and banquets.
Whereas before a great hotel restaurant might have been a luxury, today it is an expected amenity. Unique options and dining experiences, starting with breakfast and extending into the night, constitute a significant role in attracting customers and can make a hotel stand out. Bars and restaurants are the heartbeat of a hotel and not only are guests dining on property, but residents and off-property visitors are being drawn in. Word quickly spreads about the allure and buzz of a hot dining spot or must-have cocktail experience.
At Shaner Hotels our signature restaurant and bar programs are operated not as “hotel restaurants,” but with a freestanding mindset, that happen to be inside of our hotels.
In addition, the catering department of a hotel holds the success of an event in its hands. Set up and service, food quality, and presentation are the backdrop for an unforgettable evening and makes all the difference in what could otherwise be just another luncheon or conference.
We have a dedicated team with a strong and specific focus on food and beverage and staying ahead of trends that set them apart. Experts in kitchen and bar design, menu development, staff training, concept creation, event and catering management, social media and restaurant marketing, we are a one-stop shop in creating a powerful, revenue generating F&B program.
Our passion in food and beverage is the differentiator – we are setting trends, not following them.
Example food and beverage outlets under Shaner management and operations include:
- Vaso Rooftop Lounge at AC Hotel Dublin
- The Field Burger & Tap/ Toftrees Golf Resort
- Perspective Lounge at Art Ovation/Autograph Collection
- Sol by the Sea at Playa Largo Resort and Spa/ Autograph Collection
- Panorama on Seven at Buffalo Marriott at Lecom Harborcenter
