It is time to give another Hospitality Business the tag of Game Changer!

Today it is the Haus Hiltl, they hold the Guinness World Record for a first-ever vegetarian restaurant. Haus Hiltl opened its doors in 1898 in Zürich but faced some dire criticism. At first, the restaurant didn’t run well, as vegetarians were viewed as “grazers” at this point in time.

However, Haus Hiltl managed to stay afloat, and at this point in time, the fourth generation of the Hiltl family runs the business. Not only were they the first (recorded) vegetarian restaurant in the world, they were the first in Zürich to switch to an all-electric kitchen too.

Haus Hiltl continues to be proud of their tradition and stay true to their initial cause.

“👆Up is not the only way to grow”- Anonymous

🌱As the buds have sprouted, the branches spread themselves in all directions and explore the outside world. On our journey, there were moments where we went against the norm. Difficult as it is, yet we learn more about ourselves, our team, and the topic of “intrapreneurship”. Each experience and moment are the concrete proof that the world out there has so much to offer if we all believe that there is more than one path to grow.🛣

Have you ever taken a step outside of what is set for you?👟🧳

This is Arthur Balabrega. Since the early 2000’s, he has been an entrepreneur starting businesses one after the other. Currently, he is the owner and principal operator of Brand New Sales, a company that helps to find the right sales employees for businesses.

However, this is the story of how he was an intrapreneur before starting the path he is on now. When Arthur was 22 years old, he decided to move to Australia. In Sydney, he began to work for a telephone service provider selling business telephone systems. He slowly worked himself through the ranks within this multicultural company to become responsible for Key Accounts.

His intrapreneurial story starts a long time ago when files weren’t saved on computers yet. The company predominately focused on aquiering new customers while existing customers were left forgotten. The company never considered that these customers would be in need of new equipment at some point in time.
Arthur came up with the idea of a renewal services. The company would offer customers brand new telephone equipment at same monthly rate customer where already paying. It was a win-win.
The company sold new telephone equipment with an increased margin because the technology had become cheaper and interest rates lower.

He searched for clients though the files and tested his idea to see if it would work; within a few weeks he was selling a lot of telephone systems which management started to notice. This is the point where Arthur wants you to be careful as an intrapreneur.

What happened to him is what happened many times with different companies in the current business culture. As soon as management knew what his newly found tactic was, they took it over, banned him from doing this again and management acted like it was their idea. In the end, as usual, management had no idea how to properly use this strategy and destroyed the potential the idea has.

To be an intrapreneur is completely bound to the company you work for, if they don’t appreciate it, you will not get the appreciation you deserve for innovating. Make sure to pick a company where you can develop yourself and the company at the same time.

Get ready for Challenge #4 🤳

We challenge you to flip the system - Be creative! Be innovative! Be a risk-taker!

The idea is to see the world from a different perspective. As intrapreneurs in the hospitality industry, it is important to think outside the box and bring it to the next level in a company. It requires doing things differently and a little extra! 🎁

*Steps for the * 🤩
1) Grab a friend or family member.
2) Choose a public space in your town/country.
3) Person A will use their hands to ‘walk’ with.
4) Person B will hold the feet of Person A - like a wheelbarrow.
5) Video record the surrounding with the camera phone turned in portrait mode.
6) Then flip the camera upside down and Person A and Person B walk through the picture.

“🌱A master is a beginner who kept beginning” -Anonymous

On our way to grow outside of our comfort zones, we all face various adversities and for team Scion, they become our valuable lessons to connect. The journey outside our safety, convenience is never simple, yet for the past few months of persistence, the bud that we sew together has finally sprouted. Small, yet precious with all the essence of our effort.

🌱 Do you see little sprout popping?

Challenge #3



"𝓖𝓻𝓸𝔀𝓽𝓱 𝓯𝓻𝓸𝓶 𝔀𝓲𝓽𝓱𝓲𝓷"

We believe that growth is only meaningful when it starts from inside whether it is at a personal or corporate level. A person who sincerely seeks growth will attract others with similar mindsets, all striving to help the company flourish and stand strong. Likewise, intrapreneurs do not separate from each other, we link and connect like vines towards the same goal.

Curious why the pineapple🍍🍍? This small fruit managed to become the symbol of Hospitality Industry and the whole story is even more interesting! Can you now see the link🔗🔗?

Check out our favorite spots at the Hotel Management School! 🏨

Last week we introduced you to our Hotel Management School. Today, we would like to share with you our favorite spots (and coffee corners.) These spots are where new connections are made and where innovative ideas are created. 💡



As part of our hospitality program, we work on different real-life projects and at these locations, we share our ideas and ask for the opinion of other students. We also get new perspectives from students from study programs such as Creative Business, International Business, Tourism Management amongst others.
