Jim Murphy - PREM Group’s Managing Director

The management of Days Hotel Galway produce a very informative newsletter every few months called ” The Galway Grapevine “. This newsletter is a very important communication tool in a hotel with 336 rooms and suites .The current addition is just out and I thought the following excerpts were worth sharing  ;

from Siobhan Burke General Manager

“Overall, we had a busy July and August which is a good complaint for us to have considering the way the economy has turned over the past number of months. We fed and looked after approximately 16,200 adults and 1,700 children during the month of July, an average of 580 per night! So far for August we have looked after 16,700 guests, on average 670 per night. It will give you an idea of how many eggs were cooked for breakfast!!!! “

and from Philip Hogan Head Chef ;

“we have been very lucky this summer to be as busy as we have been; we have certainly worked our way through plenty of supplies.

To give you an idea of the amount of food we go through in a week, Potatoes 950kg, vegetables 600kg & chicken’s 1000 – to put that in context – an average man weighs 80kg so that would make the equivalent of 11.8 men in potatoes & 7.5 men in vegetables (i.e. a football team in potatoes and volleyball team in vegetables!!).”

Despite the huge numbers that stay in the Days Hotel Galway every night the management and staff run this hotel with understated efficiency and style . They manage to give every customer a sense that they are staying in a much smaller property than they actually are .
