Elevating Diners’ Experience and Restaurant Revenues During the Holidays
One of the most exciting parts of watching Olympic swimmers race is seeing the “underdogs” come from behind and win. Knowing they have one last chance, these athletes harness every bit of their strength, move steadily to the front of the pack, and finish first in a dramatic moment.
The holidays are restaurants’ version of the Olympics; these final weeks are their last chance to surge forward. QSRs, coffee shops, fast-casual restaurants, and full-service establishments all have one more opportunity to win over new diners and achieve record revenues. The rewards could be sweet; Mastercard’s Spending Pulse report projects that 2023 holiday spending at restaurants will be 5.4 percent more than in 2022. Who will capture the gold? Those who provide a superlative experience to their diners

How to find motivation at work in 2024, no matter your job
These four steps can help you prioritize more meaningful work in 2024.
In most cultures, the calendar builds in some time for reflection. There’s a certain point in the course of a year when it’s natural to look back over the past, evaluate how things are going, and then think about what you might want to change in the future.
In Western cultures, this time happens around the new year, when we’re encouraged to look back over the past 12 months, assess how we’re feeling about life, and develop resolutions for the year ahead.
Why Gift-Giving Makes You Anxious
How could anyone dislike giving and receiving gifts? A good gift can be totally life-changing. For example, the toy basketball hoop that LeBron James received for Christmas in 1987 arguably changed the course of NBA history. Likewise, a lovely commercial from John Lewis & Partners, a chain of high-end department stores in the UK, has convinced me that a Christmas time piano is what launched Elton John’s career. (Some fact-checkers have raised questions about that sequence of events, but I’m not here for that kind of “Bah! Humbug” energy.)
