Portrait of the industry
Las Vegas, known for its unmatched hospitality industry, stands as a leader in the leisure and entertainment sector. Nearly a quarter of jobs in Nevada are tied to this field, underscoring its critical importance to the regional economy. While Las Vegas excels in guest experiences, there remain untapped opportunities for advancing productivity and profitability through artificial intelligence (AI). As industry leaders continuously seek new ways to elevate service and reduce costs, the integration of AI offers both a promising avenue and a unique challenge.
Supported by groups like the Culinary Workers Union, which advocates for nearly 60,000 hotel employees, the industry maintains a strong focus on employee welfare and job security. Rather than replacing jobs, AI-driven tools like Alfred are designed to support staff in creating high-quality guest experiences, to streamline tasks and notify executives of any anomalies within their operations. With Las Vegas hosting an increasing number of high-profile events, AI solutions provide valuable options for maintaining its leadership in hospitality while honoring its commitment to a robust, skilled workforce.
Restaurant Partage
Partage Restaurant in Las Vegas embodies the American dream of Chef Yuri, Pastry Chef Vincent, and Owner Nicolas Kalpokdjian, who moved from Michelin-starred kitchens in Paris, Les Baux-de-Provence, and Courchevel in 2015. Arriving with only their backpacks and savings, they named their new venture "Partage," meaning "sharing" in French, to reflect their commitment to sharing exceptional culinary experiences.
Nicolas Kalpokdjian, CEO and Manager, brings extensive international experience to Partage, including roles in France, Hong Kong, China, and Brazil. A self-taught wine enthusiast, he has made a mark in Las Vegas with his expertise in French wines, highlighted by the French wine club and the curated selection at Grand Cru by Partage. Nicolas's accomplishments include serving renowned guests like Michelin-starred Chef Alain Ducasse and tennis icon Andre Agassi, and his previous venture, Eatt Gourmet Bistro, was named Best Restaurant in Las Vegas in 2018. Partage also offers a private room with immersive 360-degree virtual experiences and customized event dining, reinforcing its position as a distinguished dining destination.
Challenges
Partage Restaurant was facing challenges in managing its high product turnover and achieving operational efficiency. With a dynamic inventory and frequent product changes, the restaurant struggled to maintain a clear overview of its stock and associated costs. This lack of visibility made it difficult to monitor inventory levels, track the cost of each order, and make informed decisions. To address these issues, Partage was searching for a system that would enhance productivity, streamline operations, and provide a comprehensive view of their inventory. By implementing a solution that offers real-time stock tracking and detailed cost analysis, Partage aimed to optimize their operations, reduce inefficiencies, and improve overall performance.
