Streamlining F&B operations: the story of transformation at Travel Charme Strandhotel Bansin

This case study delves into the operational overhaul at Travel Charme Strandhotel Bansin, Germany, achieved through the implementation of Shiji's Infrasys POS system. Facing challenges with an outdated system, the group recognized the need for a transformative solution to streamline processes. With 100 rooms and diverse dining options, including two restaurants and a bistro, the hotel caters to around 250 guests and hosts various events. The new POS system significantly enhanced efficiency, simplicity, and reliability. Greg emphasized the system's stability, ease of use, and flexibility in combining menus from different restaurants.

Wifirst provides Aethos Hotels with a fully converged network that allows it to grow, at its own pace

Aethos Milan was acquired by Aethos Hotels in 2021 from an art collector (formerly The Yard); the facility had undergone several expansions over the years, and the network infrastructure went through several installation phases with additions to both space and services. As a result, a network with little logic or structure, no documentation, consisting of multiple unconnected networks was in place, with connectivity provided by two different lines, one for the hotel and one for the new restaurant. Wifirst was called on to update this infrastructure, which was no longer suited to the standards of the Aethos brand.
