In our latest episode, Peter Watson, Owner of Tranquility Home Comfort, goes over the biggest building trends he thinks you’ll need to know through COVID-19 and beyond.

It’s no secret COVID-19 hit hospitality first and hardest. The road to recovery is going to be hard. But getting through it just takes creativity, innovation and resourcefulness...... Luckily, the sector has these in droves. In this episode, we sit down with Tony Elenis, President & CEO at Ontario Restaurant Hotel and Motel Association, to talk about what the path to recovery will look like for the beleaguered industry. Tony isn’t sanguine about the difficulty of recovery. In many ways, he sees it as more of a challenge than the past few months have been. But the industry and its operators are savvy and will bounce back. Especially those focused on one competency, in particular: Adaptability. One key way to do that? Lower expectations with your margins. The hospitality industry operates on narrow margins, which can cause stress in even the best of times. But, right now focusing too hard on generating new profits may cause you to lose sight of the bigger picture: Survival. Build trust with the consumer. Prove you value their health and safety. Spend money on sanitation and technology like menus accessed by smartphones. Right now, stay focused on sustainability. When this is over and the boom comes, you’ll be ready.
