HOSPITALITY

A rapid and fundamental change brought about by a result of rapid technological advances is being experienced by the Hospitality industry, especially in the food sector. From mobile ordering systems to alternative payment methodologies to tightly
integrated POS and inventory monitoring operations, big changes are coming to both front- and back-of-the house operations.

Appetite Labs works with innovative hospitality companies to bring their food service technologies to market in growing Asian markets. In Southeast Asia’s 5 largest countries alone, this represents a US $118 billion industry, with an expected 5% CAGR from 2011- 2016.

ANALYTICS

The ability to gather, analyse and turn data into useful intelligence is expanding rapidly. No matter what your business, tools are
now available to help you better understand your customers, your product and service offerings and your business in ways that
were unimaginable just a few years ago. Specialized tools and metrics for retail, hospitality, bars, restaurants, and other venues are helping to make owners, managers, and employees smarter about their businesses.

Appetite Labs believes that the market for analytics in Southeast Asia is expanding at a great pace, and we’re working with some of
the best-in-field players to bring these technologies to the region.

Gino’s romance with IT services started when he first took a job at LogicaCMG, an international IT firm, as an Applications Consultant supporting SAP Plant Maintenance MAM for a utility company in the United Kingdom. Later on, he joined the Food Group of Ramcar Group of Companies, a Philippine enterprise empire which owns several massive companies including Motolite, Kaisa, KFC Philippines, Tokyo Tokyo and Mister Donut. Over the next 3 years, Gino took on various roles such as a Business Systems Analyst, a Jr. Project Manager and an IT Governance Lead. He ended his stint there as the Head of a 70-person support group managing thousands of nodes across the Philippines.

Immediately thereafter, Gino worked directly under Barrett Comiskey (inventor of various products including E-ink, the screen used on Kindle) at Migo Philippines, a media startup with a disruptive distribution model. After spending almost a year leading the IT support group of Migo, Gino joined Appetite Labs where he is presently the General Manager.

Gino is certified by APMG for ITIL Foundation v3 and holds a B.S. in Management Information Systems from the Ateneo de Manila University (Q.C. Metro Manila, Philippines)
