A Testament to Adaptability and Excellence: Annoncer’s Role at De L’Europe Amsterdam
Furthermore, Annoncer KDS was selected for De L’Europe Amsterdam in its inaugural year following its successful deployment at prominent Dutch restaurants such as the Librije*** and Bolenius*. Recognizing the sophisticated needs of Hotel De L’Europe Amsterdam’s diverse culinary operations, Annoncer was implemented to enhance service across its varied dining formats. Additionally, more than 25 screens were installed across the hotel’s multiple kitchens and dining areas, tailored to meet the unique demands of each venue.
Annoncer’s Versatile Deployment Across Venues:
- Michelin-Starred Restaurant Flore: At Restaurant Flore, which focuses on a set menu structure complete with wine pairings and the precision required for maintaining two Michelin stars and its green star, Annoncer KDS facilitates impeccable service timing and coordination. This ensures that each course reflects the culinary artistry and high standards expected at such a prestigious establishment.
- Brasserie Marie and the Dynamic Flow: The Brasserie Marie presents different challenges, especially given its two full kitchens, which alternate based on the weather and the status of the hotel’s famous terrace. Annoncer KDS manages complex routing and order timing to ensure seamless operation, whether guests dine indoors or on the terrace. This flexibility enhances the guest experience by providing consistent, high-quality service regardless of seating location.
- Expansive Service Offerings: The integration of Annoncer KDS extends beyond the restaurants to encompass a la carte breakfast services, room service, and operations at the iconic Freddy’s Bar and the hotel lobby. The system’s robust capability to handle multiple service types from various kitchens simultaneously showcases its adaptability and impact in managing complex culinary logistics.
“Annoncer has been paramount in our communication system. The food ticket display orchestrates the flow of orders seamlessly, harmonising kitchen operations and server communication, elevating efficiency, and ensuring that the chefs focus on every dish instead of the pass flow. That perfect tempo increased our culinary performance.” Remy Baben – Food & Beverage Operations Manager
