The Sonobudoyo Museum
L
ong ago, the Dutch governors setup this place to collect cool stuff to help promote Indonesia’s indigenous culture. The Sonobudoyo Museum has an extensive & broad ranging collection that is considered the second most important museum in the country.
The reproduction of a Neolithic burial pit displayed in the museum floor is an interesting exhibit which gives us an insight into peoples of Stone Age origins which have previously been uncovered all over the region. This particular example suggests people thousands of years ago also used ceremonial rituals to bury their dead rather than just abandon the corpse to the wolves, all before organized religion made chanting, kneeling & giving religious people lots of money the normal thing to do. It demonstrates across time & space that we as humans share a high level of spiritualism & abstract thinking. There is also a reproduction of the skull fragment of Java Man, uncovered nearby in Solo in 1891, one of the oldest remains of Homo Erectus ever found, commonly thought of as the missing link between humans & our most common ape ancestor, dating back almost 2 million years. Many people don’t get puppets. The Indonesian puppets on display vary in characters from over-the-top caricatures’ to heroic warriors & demonic looking Dutch officials with big noses. Chinese people will continue to scratch their heads as all info is either in English or Bahasa, surprisingly, the information is of a high standard.

Increasing Food and Beverage Revenues in Hotels By Kirby D. Payne
T
here are many reasons why hotel Food and Beverage profits are not what we would like them to be. Foremost among them is usually the fact that revenues are not as high as they might be. The lack of separate identity and entrances for outlets has a negative impact but for the most part hoteliers aren’t the street fighting promoters our free standing restaurant counterparts are. This is quite understandable, after all why should we focus so heavily on Food and Beverage when for the time and money spent it will never be as profitable as the Rooms Division!
Sonobudoyo Museum Unit I Jl. Trikora No. 6, Jogja. Open Tuesday – Thursday 8:30 am – 2:30 pm, Friday 8 – 11 am, Saturday – Sunday 8 am – 1 pm. Wayang kulit (leather shadow puppet) performance: Tuesday – Thursday 8:00 am – 1:30 pm, Friday 8 – 11 am, Saturday – Sunday 8 am – 12 noon. Entrance fee charged. Sonobudoyo Museum Unit II Jl. Wijilan PB I/2A, Jogja. P.: +62 (274) 373 617. Open Monday – Saturday 7:30 am – 2:00 pm
There are some subtle differences that make a lot of sense. Think about how you’d spend your finite promotional dollars if you had a choice between promoting the hotel in its entirety or just a profitable restaurant outlet. Clearly it makes more sense to advertise the hotel and its services or to have the sales staff either build commercial room demand or pursue group room bookings. These items have profit margins in excess of 75 - 80%. A hotel’s Food and Beverage department is an exception if profit exceeds 20%. In both cases as hoteliers must admit, administrative, marketing, maintenance and utilities expenses are not deductions from these margins. Unlike our restaurant counterparts who must bear all these expenses directly we shuffle them off as Unallocated Expenses. In the end it makes sense because most hotel Food and Beverage revenues are driven by the Rooms Department’s level of activity and our buildings and operational structures are not such that some expenses can be isolated cost effectively. to be continued on page 8

Yogyakarta News It’s a jungle out there at KKF Performance Space Kedai Kebun Forum is working together with Goethe Institut Jakarta held special German film screening. Nach Fünf Im Urwald or It’s a jungle out there, a film by HansChristian Schmid tell about just how difficult it is to grow up and describes the big-city dreams that are born in remote provincial confines and can never come true. The director his characters very much more carefully and never denounce them or degrade them to mere objects for amusement. The film’s heroine appears as the prototype of naive rural innocence. Story: After an argument with her father, seventeen yearold Anna spontaneously leaves her parents’ house in a provincial town in Bavaria and hitches to Munich to take part in a casting. While her parents drive to the city in search of their daughter, Anna has her first unpleasant encounters with members of the opposite sex. Both sides are wiser by the time Anna returns home the next morning. A sometimes extremely funny film on the difficulties of growing up, which is still highly actual although shot in the 1990’s. Screening on Wednesday, 5 June 2013 at 7:00 pm Venue: Performance space (2nd floor) KKF. Jl. Tirtodipuran No. 3 Yogyakarta Open for public and FREE.

it flows naturally and feels more like creative freedom. I think that truly passionate people are not understood by much of the world. I’ll give you one example: I don’t watch TV anymore. I tell people this, and it feels like many of them mentally file me in a category of being weird or socially deviant. Most people cannot fathom a world without television.
be isolated and work on projects in a vacuum, now new social tools are allowing them to work together on deep projects that benefit everyone. Imagine, a group of complete strangers working together to create something incredible, inspiring and useful – all for free, and all due to pure internal motivation and desire to help the world.
This is unfortunate, and altogether sad. We are at such an incredible turning point in society, and the world is changing for the better due to people with passion. Think about this: From Clay Shirky: If you take Wikipedia as a kind of unit, all of Wikipedia, the whole project–every page, every edit, every talk page, every
Are you a part of a global project like Wikipedia? Or, global conversations about what you do professionally or are interested in personally? If not, you should be – the tools exist to interact with fantastic minds in our world, learn from them, and get better results and get inspiration for whatever you are doing.
line of code, in every language that Wikipedia exists in–that represents something like the cumulation of 100 million hours of human thought. I worked this out with Martin Wattenberg at IBM; it’s a back-of-the-envelope calculation, but it’s the right order of magnitude, about 100 million hours of thought. And television watching? Two hundred billion hours every year. Put another way, now that we have a unit, that’s 2,000
Sorry if you’re a TV watcher, but if you watch even more than a tiny amount, it is a waste of life. I don’t mean to offend you, but really think about it: you are given a fleeting amount of time to physically exist on this planet and do something to change things for the better, and then you are gone. By watching TV for endless hours, you’re squandering life, the most previous gift there is.

By watching TV you make the ultimate sacrifice – you could be reading, writing, making art, or actually interacting with your friends, family and other professionals in your industry. Would you rather look back at a life spent passively absorbing nonsense, or one spent changing the world for the better and creating what inspires you. The choice is obvious. I feel like most of you here don’t waste your life passively, so this post isn’t really for you. You’re already motivated and inspired. Forward this to a friend who isn’t. Here’s what too many in society do: ~ Get up in the morning ~ Work, thinking inside the lines the entire day ~ Come home ~ Watch TV ~ Sleep It is an altogether unremarkable existence. And, those people probably produce ultimately unremarkable results and lead average lives. If you wake up in the morning and aren’t inspired every day to throw yourself into your work and life with 100% passion, you’re not living it. I don’t understand how someone can live even one day like this. Perhaps they’re in the wrong field, or have lost that creative spark. But regardless, there is no other way for truly intelligent people to live other than taking an active, passionate role in life and pouring their soul into something that inspires them. The planet is billions of years old, and your lifespan is merely a cosmic blink. There’s not a day to waste.

Increasing Food and Beverage Revenues in Hotels - continue from page 1 Can you imagine the time required allocating the credit card commission expenses for Food and Beverage charged to the guest rooms from those having to do with the Telephone Department and room sales? So what do I think the answer is to Food and Beverage profitability in a hotel environment? Increase hotel guest usage, increase hotel guest average checks, and increase outside patronage from the community. You say those things are obvious but do you have a mini-business plan for each of your Food and Beverage outlets? Does it address those items? Is it funded, are all the departments’ employees involved and excited about it? Are the key players motivated with incentives to make the plans succeed? Mini-business plan? Revenue and expense goals in detail, staffing plan, capital budget, menu plan and outlet market plan. These are not all new things, everything but the menu plan and outlet market plan should be in your hotel’s annual business plan, so preparing a mini-plan for each Food

and Beverage outlet should not be a monumental task. I refer to these plans as mini-plans because they can be three small lists: standard hotel procedures, one time promotions and advertising. Standard hotel procedures are simple things like having the reception staff mention the outlets to registering guests and having the bell staff mention that night’s restaurant specials while the guest is a captive audience. These cards are handed out by the receptionist registering the guest. Other standard items are elevator displays, in room promotions, and promotional cards given with restaurant and bar checks. Why not room service sales messages adjacent to the emergency telephones at the swimming pool? Nobody misses seeing it and reading it! Standard hotel procedures must include services, attitudes and amenities that are very appealing to the hotel’s guests. JOGJA AD for correct English before printing.

Why not free shoe shines as patrons leave and for people waiting for a table or for joiners? Dare to be different and work hard to find out what your hotel guests and surrounding community want. Who eats at Perkins and Bakers Square and why? What is so good and unique about them that can’t be copied? One time promotions are tried and true methods of attracting more business. Most people repeat the same ones year after year. Mothers’ Day, Fathers’ Day and the list goes on. Why not start some new traditions for your restaurant or bar that are annual if not monthly?

Never forget the power of good press releases. These should be done for all conventions, banquets, menu changes, new entertainment, etc. Invite the press in to try new menus and to witness promotions. Charities are good tie ins. There are obviously direct benefits if the charity is selected wisely. Let me be candid, other charities need money, too, but they aren’t next door to our hotel! As a final point let me emphasize the value of employee involvement. They should be involved in brainstorming sessions to create ideas in every area affecting revenues and expense control. They know more about the customers and the operations than management and owners do. More importantly when they have bought into the promotional ideas they will be good at delivering the product and service to the patrons but also at going out and promoting it. Significant long-term increases in Food and Beverage revenues can only be achieved with the staff’s enthusiastic understanding and support. And that’s not limited to Food and Beverage Division employees; Rooms Division employees may be the only employees to have any contact with your in-house guests during their stay if you don’t get them into the outlets.
