A dining guide around each of my hotels
The best-rated restaurants near each hotel, by cuisine.
What it does
Every quarter: the best-rated restaurants within 1 km of each hotel in your table, sorted by cuisine, in a sheet the front desk can share with guests.
In one sentence: Monthly on the 1st at 08:00, take your table, find restaurants, italian restaurants and 2 more nearby, clean up their categories, then add row in Google Sheets and email the list to you.
Why it is useful
Guests ask where to eat every evening. The front desk has a good answer.

The time it saves
Monthly on the 1st at 08:00. Doing the same work by hand takes about 90 minutes each time; it runs about 1 time a month, so it saves about 2 hours a month (an estimate). It is easy: 6 blocks.
