The Key to a Successful Dine around is to Scout first
Los Cabos is a beautiful place to visit, with many hidden gem restaurants to dine around that make it the perfect spot for Corporate Groups and Incentive Programs. As a DMC, we must always reconnect with our commercial partners now and then to reinforce our business relationship and get updates on new projects and renovations that benefit our client’s overall experience.
One of the Twenty4seven group’s commitments is to ensure that our proposals always provide innovative and trendy options for groups, and the easiest way to do this is scouting.
Why DMCs need to reconnect with our commercial partners?
Scouting restaurants or any venue is an art form that allows third parties like us to provide an up-to-date recap of all guidelines as regulations, booking policies, venue fees, and all the confusing red tape that becomes time-consuming for our clients.
Scouting helps us provide all guidelines before contracting a program. Besides, it is a great way to reinforce commercial bonds and internal communication between DMC and Restaurant staff which is the key to a masterpiece event.
Bottom line? Communication is key to resolving issues quickly when things threaten to derail.
Our way of thinking to scout restaurants for dine-around Experiences
We consider our client’s profile, primary needs, and expectations when exploring restaurants in Los Cabos. When we are all set with those details, the scouting process begins. After our first selection of restaurants, we proceed with the visit appointments.
Even though there are many crucial aspects to consider while scouting, here is a recap of the most important ones:
- Ensure our primary contacts (Sales manager, chef, and the waiter’s captain) are available to discuss the restaurant’s guidelines, policies, flexibility on group menus, and group logistics. Stay connected and updated; allow us always to provide up-to-date options according to each group profile.
- Walking thru the restaurant or venue is essential before planning any corporate or incentive event to determine maximum capacities, best areas for groups, and logistics.
- Always connect with our commercial partners and make time for them, even if it is only for a quick visit. Discuss new ideas and suggestions that benefit our mutual client.
Scouting is not an activity that should do every year, as our industry is constantly changing, and this activity should happen regularly. Especially when vendors, in this case, restaurants, have undergone seasonal menu modifications, administrative changes, or even venue renovations.
