Ep 1. Restaurant in a Hotel Room

Five Day Biz Fix is a reality TV show that follows a team of business experts, Alex and Maria, as they help struggling small businesses. In the first episode of the show's first season, the team tackles a restaurant in a hotel room.

The episode begins with Alex and Maria meeting with the owners of the restaurant, who explain that they have been struggling to attract customers. The restaurant is located in a hotel room, which presents unique challenges in terms of marketing and advertising. There is limited space, and the restaurant is not visible from the main lobby.

Alex and Maria begin their assessment of the restaurant by observing the restaurant's operations. They notice that the staff are disorganized, and there is a lack of communication between the kitchen and the front-of-house staff. The menu is confusing, with too many options and no clear focus. The restaurant's decor is outdated and unappealing, and there is no clear brand or identity.

The next day, Alex and Maria start working with the restaurant staff to implement changes. They start by streamlining the menu, removing items that don't sell well and focusing on the hotel's unique location to create a brand identity. They also introduce new dishes that highlight the hotel's location, such as a seafood dish that features local ingredients.

Alex and Maria also work on organizing the staff and improving communication between the kitchen and front-of-house staff. They introduce new systems to streamline orders and reduce wait times. They also train the staff on customer service and creating a welcoming atmosphere for hotel guests.

Meanwhile, the restaurant's decor gets a complete overhaul. Alex and Maria bring in new furniture, decor, and lighting to create a modern and inviting atmosphere. They also work with a graphic designer to create new branding materials, including a new logo and menu design.

By the end of the five days, the restaurant undergoes a complete transformation. The menu is now focused and appealing, with dishes that showcase the hotel's unique location. The staff are more organized and better trained, providing better service to hotel guests. The restaurant's decor is modern and welcoming, with a clear brand identity.

The final test comes when the restaurant reopens for business. Alex and Maria invite the hotel's executive staff and some local food critics to come and try the new menu. The feedback is overwhelmingly positive, with everyone impressed by the restaurant's new look and menu. The hotel's executives are so impressed that they decide to showcase the restaurant as a key feature of the hotel's marketing campaign.

In the end, the restaurant's owners are thrilled with the results. They report a significant increase in business, with hotel guests and locals alike raving about the restaurant's new look and menu. The success of the restaurant in a hotel room proves that with the right changes and attention to detail, any business can succeed.
