Concord, MA (March 7, 2024) — Tripleseat, the leading innovator in cloud-based sales and event management software for restaurants and hotels, launches a one-of-a-kind reservation solution to help consumers and restaurants reserve tables for large parties.

Built on the TripleseatDirect platform, the new Large Party Reservations solution caters to large party reservations typically between 6-15 people. Reservations of 6+ people are a challenge for both people looking to book a table and restaurants trying to accommodate them. For restaurants, large parties can be difficult to manage and staff resulting in poor service and lost revenue. For guests, it is a challenge to secure a table with restaurants causing frustration for everyone.

Tripleseat’s new Large Party Reservations product solves the headaches of reserving and servicing large reservations by enabling the restaurant to offer online table availability, pre-ordering, and up-front payment. Armed with all the details for the reservation, the kitchen can prepare in advance and the venue can staff appropriately resulting in a positive and profitable reservation for everyone.

“Tripleseat continues to develop solutions to tackle challenges that restaurants face every day and turn them into revenue opportunities,” says Jonathan Morse, CEO of Tripleseat. “The Large Party Reservations product solves a big problem for restaurants and addresses the needs of consumers by providing them with an easy and quick reservation capability.”

Krombach/Germany. Germany’s family owned and operated Krombacher Brewery, helps to introduce one of Bavaria’s most exciting craft breweries to a wider audience by launching the Starnberger brand internationally as of March 2024.

Delivering a refreshingly modern interpretation of Bavarian beers and their culture, the brands’ core product is Starnberger Hell, an authentic Bavarian lager-style specialty. In addition to the traditionally large beer markets of France, Italy and the UK, Starnberger will also see South-East Europe as a starting point for its journey throughout the world.

The launch date for Starnberger Hell is perfectly chosen: Just in time for 2024’s busy summer including the European Football Championships in Germany and well in advance of this autumn’s Bavarian Oktoberfest fest activities, Starnberger will enthuse European beer fans.

Oliver Braun, Managing Director of Krombacher International says:

“With growing interest in regional German beer styles, we are delighted to offer a 100% authentic taste of Bavaria from one of the region’s hottest breweries to European consumers. The addition of Starnberger Hell alongside our popular and successful Krombacher beer portfolio ensures we have one of the most diverse and appealing German beer ranges in international markets.”

Starnberger Hell – The authentic Bavarian classic

Brewed according to the German Purity Law with only the finest Bavarian ingredients, Starnberger Hell (4.8% abv) is an easy-drinking, fine-flavoured and refreshing Bavarian lager. At the first sip, it is delicately tart, later revealing wheat notes balancing in harmony with the citrus notes of the hops and the malty aromas of lime honey. Full-bodied with a round taste and a golden shine, Starnberger Hell personifies everything that is good about the best Bavarian beers.

About Starnberger Brewery – good things from Bavaria

Located on and taking its name from the famously idyllic Lake Starnberg in Bavaria, the Starnberger Brewery has helped to create new excitement in Germany’s traditional brewing scene since launching its first beers in 2016.

The Starnberger brewery prides itself on a craft approach to brewing and maturation, where creativity and tradition meet. Only the finest natural, locally sourced ingredients are accepted. This includes pure water from deep wells in the lush surroundings of Lake Starnberg, hops from the Hallertau region and malt from two Bavarian malthouses.

Initially based in Berg, a small village 35km south-west of Bavaria’s capital Munich, the brewery saw stunning growth and in just five years it had outgrown the space. At the time of its relocation to Feldafing, on the other side of Lake Starnberg in 2020, the brewery began a partnership with the Krombacher Brewery to increase distribution and impact across Germany and in international markets.

Vegetarian for Life (VfL) and the Care Inspectorate have collaborated to produce new guidance on good care for vegans and vegetarians.

The self-evaluation tool and guidance are based on the Scottish Government’s Health and Social Care Standards.

The Health and Social Care Standards set out what people should expect when using health, social care or social work services in Scotland.

The guidance will also provide more reassurance to vegetarians and vegans who need support and care services – something that the charity hopes will be adopted outside of Scotland for veg*ns UK wide. Scotland is leading the way!

The standards have been developed to make these services better for everyone so that every person is treated with respect and dignity, and their human rights are upheld.

The guidance in Good care for vegetarians and vegans will be useful for inspectors to inform an inspection and for care services looking for best practice points.

Heather Edwards, Allied Health Professions Consultant at the Care Inspectorate, explained:

“The Care Inspectorate’s Health and Social Care Improvement Team has been delighted to work with Vegetarian for Life on this resource.

The quality illustration gives a clear guide to service providers and their staff on what good care looks like for people who are vegan and vegetarian experiencing care to meet their dietary and lifestyle needs. This tool is a great way to help a service self-evaluate their care and support for vegans and vegetarians and make any identified improvements.”

Dr Kim Stringer, Vegetarian for Life’s Director (Scotland) added:

“Veganism or vegetarianism can be a large part of someone’s identity and more than just their diet. A vegan or vegetarian may have lived this way for decades of their life and their right to follow dietary practice in line with religious or philosophical beliefs is fundamental and enshrined in law.

“Sometimes people are unclear what vegans or vegetarians do or don’t eat, or how best to ensure that their nutritional needs are met. This clear and concise self-evaluation tool and guidance is intended to enable care services to provide good care for vegans and vegetarians and to provide inspectors with information that will help during their inspections.”

The resource is now available on the Care Inspectorate’s website. And here is a link to the webinar co-hosted by The Care Inspectorate and Vegetarian for Life:

Key areas covered by the new resource include the extent to which people experience:

care and support based on relevant evidence, guidance, best practice and standards; in particular, the Health and Social Care Standards
food and drink that meets their needs and individual preferences
a positive attitude from others towards their vegetarian or vegan identity.
