Pause in Penning Insights: Embracing a New Journey

Pause in Penning Insights: Embracing a New Journey

Dear Readers and Colleagues,

I hope this message finds you well. I wanted to take a moment to share some news. As many of you know, I’ve had the privilege of sharing insights and experiences through articles related to the hospitality industry—a field I’ve been deeply passionate about for years.

The opportunity to connect with you through these articles has been immensely rewarding, discussing daily challenges and offering insights that resonate with fellow hospitality professionals. However, there comes a time when a new chapter beckons.

I am thrilled to announce that I’m embarking on a new adventure—my very own restaurant. After years of working in various capacities within the hospitality realm, this opportunity to create something unique and special is both exhilarating and all-encompassing.

In light of this exciting journey, I’ll be taking a brief hiatus from publishing articles. My focus will be dedicated to laying the foundation for this new venture, diving headfirst into the intricacies of owning and managing a restaurant.

Rest assured, this pause is not a farewell. Instead, it’s a temporary step back as I immerse myself fully in this exciting endeavor. I look forward to returning with a fresh perspective and a wealth of new experiences to share.

When I resume writing, my articles will pivot toward the challenges, triumphs, and lessons learned from the daily grind of restaurant ownership. My hope is that these forthcoming insights will resonate with fellow hospitality professionals navigating similar paths.

I am immensely grateful for your ongoing support and encouragement. Thank you for being a part of this journey with me. Stay tuned for more stories, more challenges, and more learning.

Warmest regards, 

OMAR BENNANI
