At Nine Ventures Decor & Tableware, we have a deep understanding of the hospitality industry and its needs.
Hence, we propose that hotels, restaurants, etc., must look for Hospitality products & accessories solution providers and not just suppliers!
A Hospitality accessories solution provider usually has experience in the hospitality industry and knows the needs of hotels/restaurants. They have to be able to provide quality products at competitive prices.
A solution provider can help you solve problems or find solutions to your problems. A Hospitality accessories solution provider helps hotels find the best materials to use in their rooms, from bedding, pillows, and sheets to other things like towels and robes.
Why Do You Need a Hospitality Accessories Solution Provider?
Hospitality products & accessories are an essential part of the hotel industry. Hoteliers need to find a solution provider to provide them with the best possible amenities and services for their guests.
Some hotels might choose to buy their products and provide them in-house, while others might want to outsource these services. If you are looking for a solution provider, here are some benefits that they will offer:
- They will help you save time and money by providing a one-stop service
- They can provide you with better prices because they buy in bulk
- They will make sure your hotel is always stocked up on the necessary product
Understanding The Need For A Solution Provider
To fully understand why a solution provider is a better bet than just merely having a supplier, we’ll take a deep dive into our past work done with a long-term client who hired Nine Ventures Decor & Tableware as a solution provider to cater to their needs.
This client of ours has a Bombay-based Persian cafeteria/restaurant that needed something unique for their premises.
The first problem we encountered? The client didn’t want anything off the shelf for their tableware, so what did we do?
Where just a mere supplier would have backed out of the project, we went ahead and designed and developed 15 products for them that suited their requirements. We must note here that this project was in our early days five years ago when we had never done this before!
This story has many aspects that you need to understand; hence here is a breakdown of all that we did for our clients that should aid you in understanding that a solution provider is always better than a supplier!
1. Cultivation of A Bespoke Mood Board
The client first sent their mood board for the tableware for their appetizers, main courses, desserts, and even table decorations.
The primary purpose of a mood board is to give the client an idea of what the space will look like, feel like, and smell like. It also helps them imagine themselves in their new space, which can be difficult when they have never been there before.
To create a mood board, designers will put together photos, colours, textures, fabrics or other materials that represent what they want the final product to be. They may also include items from the client’s home close enough in design style or colour palette.
The critical requirement was to have some old-fashioned brass curry pans.
We also picked products from our samples and some product graphics generated based on the mood board.
2. Prototyping & Sample Development
A prototype is a representation of the final product. It can be a physical model, or it can be a computer simulation. Prototypes are used to test and evaluate new product designs.
The most common use of prototypes is in the design phase of new products. They allow
designers to create and test concepts without making expensive mistakes. We prepared sketches and drawings for some products where the samples could be quickly developed, and we made sketches and drawings for others.
The purpose of a prototype is to show how something will work under certain conditions and to allow for testing before the final product is launched into production. Nine Ventures Decor & Tableware also developed samples to enable our clients to understand how their products would look in real life for their restaurant.
3. Specialized Quantity
The client had a particular quantity in mind when they asked for a quotation, along with the fact that they wanted to place an order for that specific amount only. Since the client had a restaurant outlet with a 50 seater capacity, we decided to give them 24-36 pieces of each item and did not ask for higher MOQs.
4. Price Optimization
The client had a very price-sensitive approach to the design and development process. Certain tableware had to be kept under a particular price range to enable a decent cost ratio for the client. At Nine Ventures Decor & Tableware, we can provide our clients with highly high customization in terms of pricing and development process for their orders as we have a completely vertically integrated supply chain.
5. Technical Consultation
Once the essential prototyping and sampling was done, we had a detailed technical discussion with our client to choose the suitable materials to build the final products. During this round of the development process, we also had to keep in mind the impact of food safety and dishwashing ability of the materials selected.
6. After Sales Support
We provide after-sales support to all our clients and with good reason. As I had mentioned initially, working with this client was the first time we had fully built custom solutions for any client; hence we had a learning curve.
After the initial sale, two products from the catalogue faced issues within a month. One was a Brass PVD Bowl where it changed colour, while the other was a wood bread box with loose handles. It was also a learning experience for us, and we made changes to both products and resolved the difficulties.
In Conclusion
A hospitality accessories solution provider is a company that offers the whole package for your event or business. They offer everything from tableware to Guest Room Accessories. They are experts in the industry and have been serving clients for more than 6 years.
Nine Ventures Decor & Tableware is one of these solution providers. They are known for their quality products and excellent customer service. If you’re looking to make your restaurant or hotel a success, you need Nine Ventures Decor & Tableware on your side.
