HILTON GARDEN INN F&B PLAYBOOK - AUST 4

We bring people together, one meal, coffee and conversation at a time.

Brand Story

Delicious, fresh food and drink is just where things get started, what really matters to us is building a local community of people that know how to work together, support each other and have a great time doing it.

That’s what Together & Co is all about - people. We’ve created a space that feels comforting, familiar and fun – a place you actually want to spend time in, and while you’re there, enjoy the fresh flavours of our food and drink from a delicious and contemporary menu.

Because we want your focus to be on spending time with each other, we’ve made our dining and drinking experience as simple and accessible as possible, with a variety of your favourites on offer and some exciting new flavours to keep things interesting.

HILTON GARDEN INN F&B PLAYBOOK - AUST 5

Support

We’re not just another dining venue, we’re here to support the local community, whether that means keeping them well fed, providing them with both time and space to connect with one another, or just a moment to themselves. We’re here for it all.

Brand Values

In order to deliver this concept successfully, we must maintain the following brand values and encourage every team member to live and breathe them, ensuring we deliver an experience that lives up to our vision.

Cheer

Celebrate the little things, the big things, and everything in between. This is about more than positivity, this is about sharing a connection with another person with fresh food and drink at the centre of it all.

Social

As you’d expect from our name - bringing people together is everything to us. That’s because we understand the power of social interaction, within our teams themselves and between us and the customer, every moment makes a difference.

HILTON GARDEN INN F&B PLAYBOOK - AUST 6

SECONDARY BRANDMARKS

Brand Identity

Inspired by our values and brand experience, our core logomark simply represents the comforting feeling and familiarity you get from eating and socialising together. This warmth comes through its generous soft flowing letter forms and the feeling of connection through the graphic treatment of the ‘&’ which is a key interlinking feature of the brand.

As the core logomark, it is used on majority of our brand collaterals and communication. There is an abbreviated and stamp version of our logomark, which both support and are used in place of the full logomark depending on the application or requirement.

Secondary Brandmarks

Our abbreviated logomark and stamp both support and are used in place of the full logomark depending on the application or requirement.

In most cases, they are to be used either as a stamp of endorsement on communication and menus, or as a stand alone brand mark on lower level brand collateral such as on our cup sleeve.

HILTON GARDEN INN F&B PLAYBOOK - AUST 7

Colour Palette

Packaging & Branding

In order to maintain utmost clarity of message across our communications, our designs take a crisp and confident approach with clear backgrounds and surfaces, both allowing for optimum legibility of messaging and brand and the design dynamics to make the product pop with its both delicate and striking colours. The use of natural uncoated card stocks coupled with embossing on items, like the business card, brings a crafted warmth that compliments the fresh and crisp design style. Here we see our visual identity coming to life through some of our collateral.

Use plants to make your displays more attractive and create a more pleasant shopping experiences

Change it

up!

Make sure that your product selection coincides with relevant holidays and seasons.

Brighthearted Hospitality

I Serve

I am here to serve guests. I Serve is the foundation of our brand. We are all here to serve guests, regardless of our role. We help each other to achieve a seamless guest experience.

I Smile

I greet each guest with a bright smile and friendly hello. I Smile means that every time we catch a guest’s eye, we smile and give a friendly greeting. And, if we recognize them, we greet them with something like, “Hello again.”

I Learn

I learn everything I can about each guest. We pride ourselves in our ability to learn all we can about each guest, such as their name, preferences and reason for travel. This helps us find ways to brighten their stay.

I Brighten

I am empowered to make our guest’s day and stay brighter. We own the guest experience every time we interact with a guest. We are each empowered to answer questions, solve problems, carry out the Hilton Garden Inn Promise or brighten a guest’s day with a personal touch. That means we are all approaching our guests using our intuition to find ways to personalize their stay and let them know we care. And each Team Member will demonstrate this individually.
