Pivot Point, a foodservice concept designed by Christensen Consultants of San Jose, CA, has been chosen as the feature for the HX360° Innovation Zone Food & Beverage area, and will debut in a 900-square-foot working model at HX: The Hotel Experience, November 12-13, 2017 at the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center in New York City.
“We are delighted to present ‘Pivot Point’ to HX attendees this November,” said Phil Robinson, VP/ Group Show Director of event producer HMG. “It’s a clever design, applicable for any type of hotel property, and fulfills the show’s promise to present unique ideas that improve the guest experience.”
Pivot Point utilizes a dual personality to adjust to the needs of hotel guests throughout the day. By daylight hours, Pivot Point makes food its primary focus. This setup allows for refrigeration, light cooking appliances, and coffee and espresso services to take center stage, giving guests a wide variety of dining options.
By night, in a change that can take less than a minute, the evening personality
emerges and beverages take the lead. The key is the unique ability to “pivot” the back bar refrigeration, glass and bottle displays, taps, and more into prominence. The pivot maneuver is accomplished by placing the back bar areas on a large turntable that rotates the bar. Rotation can be handled by a single employee, is manual, and does not require machinery to function.
The concept’s guest-responsive, multi-function innovation is perfect for hotels with limited amenities or as a specialty area for larger destinations. It will also embrace enhanced technology with smartphone and tablet ordering, and will utilize the latest sustainability initiatives.
HX360° Innovation Zone Food & Beverage is one of three innovation zones to be presented at HX 2017. Other zones promoting Spa & Wellness and Hotel Lobby & Bar will also be offered.
