Eat Out Round About Goes National

阿里·戈登是Not Uther Ltd的首席执行官，这是一家软件开发公司，其雄心勃勃的想法是在3年内支持国家层面的酒店业经济重建。Covid-19对酒店业产生了重大不利影响。较少报道的是酒店业多年来一直在挣扎求生的事实。英国脱欧给经济带来了额外的不确定性。在2020年8月，外出就餐计划中有5100万顿饭被要求提供帮助，这表明了国家对支持酒店业经济的需求。不幸的是，政府无法维持这一计划。在疫情流行期间，阿里有了一个创新的想法，创建了一个数字平台，以创建一种方式，人们可以在非高峰时间外出用餐，节省50%的餐费，最高可达10 GB。Not Usular Ltd因这一想法获得了Innovate UK Smart补助金，因此开发了一个名为“外出就餐”的平台。这款应用程序与酒店场所合作，自动扫描和领取凭证的过程，并自动管理系统与酒店。该项目已经创建了一系列数字产品，包括帮助当地酒店经济的有品位的贺卡，以及为企业提供的一系列员工和客户激励措施，包括自动生日代金券和圣诞节代金券，以帮助当地公司建立他们的文化。我们的试验将15,636 GB引入韦克菲尔德酒店经济，在代金券消费的经济中的投资回报率超过600%。阿里正在领导一项计划，在三年内将外出就餐推广到全国范围，并将在她的个人发展旅程中受益于一揽子支持方案：*建立强大的网络以促进快速增长*帮助在经济贫困地区创造熟练的数字就业机会*帮助保障酒店业的工作*为酒店业带来重大投资*以可持续的方式开拓新的商业机会*在饮料税和增值税方面为国库带来额外收入。英国人有在非高峰时段外出就餐的‘胃口’，并在有激励措施的情况下帮助当地经济。作为一名创新的英国国家女性，阿里在创新方面的成功将帮助她跳板，推动酒店业的创新，推动全国乃至国际层面的经济增长。

Ali Gordon is the CEO of Not Usual Ltd, a software development company with an ambitious idea to support the rebuilding of the hospitality economy at a national level over 3 years.Covid-19 has had a major detrimental impact on the hospitality sector. Less reported is the fact that hospitality businesses have been struggling to survive for many years prior. Brexit has created additional uncertainty in the economy.During August 2020, 51 million meals were claimed in the Eat Out To Help Out scheme, demonstrating national demand to support the hospitality economy. Unfortunately the scheme was unsustainable by the Government.During the pandemic, Ali had an innovative idea to create a digital platform to create a way that people could dine out with 50% saving on their meal out up to £10 during off-peak times. Not Usual Ltd won an Innovate UK Smart grant for the idea and as a result has developed the platform called 'Eat Out Round About'. The app partners with hospitality venues, automates the process of scanning and claiming vouchers and automates administration of the system with hospitality. The project has enabled the creation of a range of digital products including tasteful greeting cards that help the local hospitality economy, and a range of employee and customer incentives for businesses including automated Birthday Vouchers and Christmas vouchers to help local firms build their culture.Our trials generated £15,636 into the Wakefield hospitality economy with a return on investment into the economy of voucher spend by over 600%. Ali is leading a plan to take Eat Out Round About to a national level over 3 years and will benefit from the support package in her personal development journey as well as:* building a strong network for rapid growth* helping to create skilled digital jobs in an economically deprived area* help safeguard jobs in hospitality* bring significant investment into the hospitality economy* open up new business opportunities in a sustainable way* drive additional revenue to the treasury in drinks duty and VAT.There is an 'appetite' in the UK to dine out off-peak and help local economy when there are incentives. Ali's success as an Innovate UK National Woman in innovation will help her springboard the innovation for the hospitality sector to drive economic growth at a national and then international level.
