Choose the right perspective
Match the person's region and category to your question, since food and beverage category management, technology sourcing and regional hotel supply management involve different suppliers and contract terms. A regional supply management leader is the better fit for questions about how hotels in one part of the world buy, while a corporate procurement or operations leader can speak to global processes.
Questions to take into the conversation
- 01How does a hotel company's supply management group decide which suppliers hotels must use and which purchases they can make locally?
- 02How are food and beverage contracts priced and managed across hundreds of hotels?
- 03How does a global hotel company run a sourcing event for a complex category from RFP to signed contract?
