Guestin is participating as a platinum sponsor at Short Stay Conference with the workshop “No Breakfast, Big Opportunity: How Guestin connects accommodations with local cafés”, presenting a solution that answers a classic “pain point” for tourist accommodations: how to offer an organized breakfast without having a kitchen and without burdening operations with new costs and processes.
What Guestin is and what it presents in the workshop
Guestin is a new platform that connects tourist accommodations with selected local cafés, enabling accommodations to provide breakfast to their guests in an organized way, without requiring in-house infrastructure or daily management of supplies/staff. Through practical examples, the workshop will highlight how this approach can work as a “win–win”:
- for accommodations, which gain a strong amenity without operational burden,
- for guests, who enjoy a more complete experience,
- and for local food & beverage businesses, which increase their traffic through targeted collaborations.
From “we don’t offer breakfast” to a competitive advantage
One of the key points of the presentation is that the absence of breakfast does not have to be a disadvantage. On the contrary, with the right connection to local cafés, it can be turned into an immediate competitive advantage, strengthening the accommodation’s visibility on platforms, the guest experience, and ultimately the reviews and the overall brand image. In a market where guests compare amenities and “value for money” with increasing expectations, the ability to provide an organized breakfast without “burdening” operations becomes especially important, particularly for smaller accommodations, boutique properties, and managers with multiple units.
Speaker: Nikitas Glykas
The workshop will be delivered by Nikitas Glykas, creator of the Guestin platform. He has more than 30 years of international experience in multinational companies, with expertise in strategic growth, digital/technology transformation, and optimizing commercial performance. At the same time, he is a Member of the Audit Committee of PPC (DEI) and has served on the Boards of other listed companies, with a strong background in corporate governance and finance.
In hospitality, he has 8 years of experience as a co-owner of THE HOTELIER, with an active role in managing and developing tourist accommodations and boutique properties, an element that adds a practical perspective to the Guestin concept.
Why hosts and property managers should attend
The workshop is aimed at those who want to strengthen their product in a simple, actionable way: to offer breakfast without a kitchen, improve the guest experience, and increase competitiveness by leveraging collaborations with the local market.
“No Breakfast, Big Opportunity” is a workshop that answers a real operational question, with a clear goal: more value for the guest, without more pressure on operations. For those managing accommodations without breakfast capabilities, Guestin brings an approach that deserves to be on their radar.
