This is the reason why Restaurant Deessa chose Annoncer;.
“I believe in innovation, evolution, informatics and new technologies as tools that improve our lives in general and cooking in particular. In Deessa, our restaurant at the Mandarin Oriental Ritz in Madrid, which received two Michelin stars just 18 months after its opening, Annoncer is an essential tool because it allows me to better organise the daily dynamics of the restaurant. We can accurately control timings, monitor the pace of our customers during their culinary experience and thus establish a truly dynamic communication pattern with the team without having to speak directly. This is a very useful tool in such a large restaurant, with menus serving 16 to 18 dishes, with a wide variety of customers with specific food preferences…. It allows us to communicate constantly thanks to a method that has allowed us to improve. There is no doubt that part of our achievements in this sector are due to its application.”
