The Show

Dining Room Stories is the conversation the hospitality press doesn't run. Not chef profiles and not trend pieces — long-form, on the record, with the founders and group operators actually rebuilding how restaurants and hotels run: the systems, the AI, the economics, the things that broke before they worked.

Hosted by Andrea Abbondanza, it's part of the same ecosystem as the consultancy — every framework discussed on the show is one tested inside a real operation, not theorised on a slide.

Who it's for

Operators, not spectators.

People running rooms, groups, and hospitality businesses who want the unvarnished version — what a system actually cost to build, what didn't work, what they'd do again. And anyone deciding whether AI and systems belong in their operation, who'd rather hear it from someone who shipped it than someone selling it.
