Experience-led meals

Restaurants and cafes can offer a wide array of services in additional to their traditional offerings i.e. the meals. According to Khan Chacha owner Navneet Kalra, the presence of a sophisticated wine collection, bespoke interiors and curated gardens for outdoor seating have an enormous impact on the overall guest experiences. “Provide your guests with more than just the meal – offer them a sensory experience that stays with them even after they leave your establishment. Such experiences add on to strengthen customer loyalty,” he says.

Technological innovations

Technology-led innovations have become pretty much the norms for almost every sector in the world, and hospitality is no different. From the surge in online ordering and doorstep delivery services to placing dine-in orders through scanning QR codes and keeping tabs on inventory through automation – the impact of technological innovations can now be felt in almost every aspect of restaurant business.

According to Navneet Kalra, investing in the latest tech-based service can add greatly to the reimagining of guest experience. “When customers walk in your restaurant and see all the latest tech in place, it gives them a reassurance regarding the level of safety while they enjoy their favourite meal. Investing in a robust doorstep delivery infrastructure can also help by commanding customer loyalty,” he says.

Being the trendsetter

It is one thing to follow the popular, but being the trendsetter in the industry takes the appeal of your restaurant business to a whole new level. Navneet Kalra believes in choosing the latter, which is exactly what he has recently done at Town Hall with ‘Live Cooking at Home’. The latest offering by Kalra’s restaurant goes beyond food delivery, Japanese food connoisseurs can now enjoy fresh sushi prepared at their very homes.

On October 21, the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) placed Pakistan back on the ‘greylist,’ stating that it needed to show that investigations and prosecutions were being pursued against senior leadership of U.N.-designated terror groups such as Lashkar-e-Taiba, Jaish-e-Mohammed, al-Qaeda, and the Taliban.

“The Pakistani government is running two action plans at the same time, with a total of 34 action plan elements. Thirty of the items have been addressed, or at least in part. Its most current action plan, dated June of this year, was produced after the FATF’s regional partner APG, or Asia Pacific Group, highlighted a number of money laundering flaws.

“The Pakistan Government has two concurrent action plans with a total of 34 action plan items. It has addressed or largely addressed 30 of the items. Its most recent action plan from June this year, which largely focussed on money laundering deficiencies, was issued after the FATF’s regional partner APG, that is Asia Pacific Group, identified a number of serious issues,” said Dr. Player.

Dr. Pleyer said that while Pakistan was making good progress on the new action plan, four of the seven items had been addressed or largely addressed, Pakistan was still assessed to have largely addressed 26 of the 27 items in the previous action plan, which focused on terrorist financing issues and dated back to June 2018.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi lauded India’s journey on completing the 100 crores Covid-19 vaccine mark. He described the journey as a “journey from anxiety to assurance”. A day after India completed its remarkable journey in administering 100 crore Covid jabs. Prime Minister Narendra Modi is continually seen appreciating the achievements. A Hindi newspaper on Friday also published an opinion piece by the PM named “ “Team India-Responding to Adversity with Achievement”.

In the article, PM Modi wrote that “the journey from anxiety to assurance has been completed and India has emerged stronger, thanks to the world’s largest vaccination program”. He further told that people’s trust in vaccines despite “various efforts to create mistrust and panic” led to this victory. 

India crossed the landmark figure of 100 crores in just a short span of nine months despite many doubting the country’s capabilities. This revolutionary milestone was achieved on Thursday making India part of a very exclusive club of nations. 

News agency PTI quoted PM Modi as saying. “There was a lot of pressure from different interest groups to give preferential treatment to them in vaccination. But my government takes care that there is no VIP treatment in vaccination drives just like other schemes”.

Crediting the success of 100 crores vaccination milestone to Indian science, enterprise and collective spirit of 130 crore Indians. PM Modi further praised the scientists and entrepreneurs to make the country “aatmanirbhar” in producing vaccines. 

“When everyone takes ownership, nothing is impossible. Our healthcare workers traversed hills and crossed rivers across difficult geographies to vaccinate people. Our youth, social workers, healthcare workers, social and religious leaders, all deserve credit for the fact that India faces minimal vaccine hesitancy when compared to even developed nations,” PM Modi wrote in the piece “Team India-Responding to Adversity with Achievement”.

“We remember how unpredictable the situation appeared then, as we were faced by an unknown and invisible enemy mutating rapidly. The journey from anxiety to assurance has happened and our nation has emerged stronger, thanks to the world’s largest vaccination drive,” he said.

“There are some among us who only trust foreign brands, even for simple everyday necessities. However, when it came to something as crucial as the Covid-19 vaccine, the people of India unanimously trusted ‘Made in India’ vaccines. This is a significant paradigm shift,” he said.

India Vaccine drive is an exemplary example of the power of unity. With citizens and people coming together for the sole purpose of saving lives from pandemics. India has shown the spirit of “Jan Bhagidari”

“Our vaccination drive has yet again shown the power of this ‘Team India’,” PM Modi said, recalling his Independence Day speech in 2015, and asserted that India’s success in its vaccination drive has also demonstrated to the whole world that “democracy can deliver”.
