Hospitality and F&B Research in Oman

Hotels, restaurants and cafes measured on the full guest journey, from the booking to the bill.

In short

Does Quantum Gulf Marketing cover hospitality and F&B in Oman?

Yes. Hotels, restaurants and cafes are part of our sector coverage in the Sultanate, and the coffee shop channel is already inside our retail audit frame. Hospitality is the sector where the gap between a published standard and a delivered experience is most visible to the customer, and where a single stage of the journey can undo everything else. Programmes are therefore designed across the whole journey, from the enquiry and booking through arrival, service, the room or the meal, and the departure.

Questions

Common questions

What is a mystery guest programme?
A mystery shopping programme designed around a full stay or full meal rather than a single transaction, so the assessment covers the whole journey.
Can you benchmark against competitor properties?
Yes. Running the identical scenario at competing properties is the cleanest benchmark available in this sector.
Do assessors stay overnight?
For hotel programmes, yes where the scenario requires it. Accommodation cost is quoted separately and transparently.
Can you cover Salalah as well as Muscat?
Yes. Dhofar is inside our standard coverage, which matters for a seasonal market.
Can programmes run in Arabic and English?
Yes, and for hospitality the language of the visit should reflect the guest mix the property actually serves.
How often should a property be assessed?
Quarterly is common, monthly where a property is actively remediating. The frequency should match the pace of the change you are trying to drive.
