Ambiance is a key ingredient in the delivery of exceptional service. Getting customers to “love” the cuisine and environment is integral to business success, especially when ambiance is key to more than 90% of consumers when choosing where to go out*.
The partnership will provide valuable resources for business owners and front-of-house teams in the form of editorial content, offering expert guidance on the importance of candles in ambiance design and how it can have a positive impact on customer loyalty and business revenue throughout the year.

They have already helped the Institute create incredible ‘atmospheres’ at some of our prestigious events and their ongoing support as a Business Partner will allow us to continue our work inspiring and developing hospitality professionals across the world.”
