A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

INDUSTRY PROFILE
V&RO Hospitality comes under the hospitality industry which is a booming industry right now . It is
the fastest growing F&B chain based out of Bengaluru with its presence spread across the country.
Firstly the word hospitality refers to extending a welcome to travellers or offering a home away from
home and the word is derived from the French word “hospice” meaning ‘taking care of travellers’ . The
hospitality industry is basically an industry where various businesses and services are linked to customer
satisfaction and leisure. One of the main aspects of this industry is that it focuses on ideas of luxury,
pleasure, experiences and enjoyment.
The hospitality industry is a vital part of the global economy. It employs millions of people and
generates billions of dollars in revenue each year. The industry is also a major driver of tourism, which
is a key source of income for many countries.
The hospitality industry is constantly evolving to meet the needs of travellers and locals alike. In recent
years, there has been a growing trend towards personalized experiences and customization. This is
reflected in the increasing popularity of boutique hotels, Airbnb, and other businesses that offer unique
and personalized experiences.
The hospitality industry is also becoming more sustainable. Businesses are increasingly adopting
practices that reduce their environmental impact, such as using recycled materials and reducing energy
consumption. This trend is likely to continue in the years to come, as consumers become more aware
of the environmental impact of their travel choices.
HISTORY OF HOSPITALITY INDUSTRY-
In olden times, locals used to let the travellers rest on the kitchen floors or other extra spaces during
their journey. There were no fixed resting facilities for tourists until monasteries decided to build one.
This gave birth to lodging services. In the late 1700s, Inns came into existence. Inns were nothing but
a shelter by the road where travellers can stop to take rest and get some food. The would also take care
of traveller’s horses while they rest. This is the time when the seeds of the modern hospitality facility
were planted. What we see today is the growth of the past two millennia.
During the olden days people used to take shelter under trees when they were away from their homes
and depended on natural sources for food. Their lives were endangered by wild animals and wayside
robbers which Is why Dharamshala and Chat rams came up to protect the lives of travellers.
04
11. In the early 1800s “Inns” were the only lodging facility available for the tourists. A lot of Inns were
established before the 19th century. But, lodging was not just about bedding and resting facility
anymore. They started providing food and drinks to the travellers. And soon the element of luxury
started to blend in. This gave birth to hotels. Hotels emerged as more sophisticated facilities which
provided better rooms and dining areas.
The year of 1829 is considered as a landmark in the timeline of the American hospitality industry. It
was the year when an American architect Isaiah Rogers designed and constructed the first luxury hotel
Tremont Hotel in Boston, Massachusetts. It was the first hotel with private attached bathroom and lock
on the doors. It used a steam-powered pump to lift up water to the storage tank on the roof. Tremont
Hotel had set a benchmark for the luxurious hotels in those days. The hotels and Inns then on started
giving more importance to services to stand out different than other hotels. They kept improving their
services and facilities. At the later stage, hotels started to have bars. And soon the bars became an
important selling point for the hotels. The architecture and aesthetics of the hotels were improving
alongside. There were more multi-storied hotels and they had beautiful exteriors to stand out different
from other hotels. Soon it was a trend for well-decorated ceilings and beautiful crystal chandeliers.
The years 1961-1980 are called as the first revolution of luxury and service. Many refer to this period
as the golden age of hospitality where organizational culture and revenue creation were driven by luxury
and service. During this period the wealth of the top 10% rose by a huge margin which meant more
money to spend on luxury goods and travel. The founder of the Four Seasons Hotel came with the vision
to build a
company on his golden rule of “Treat guests the way you wish to be treated”. Although Four seasons
didn’t start as a luxury brand the founder quickly chose to chase the opportunity.
The renaissance saw a renewed interest in classical culture and this led to the revival of the hospitality
industry. During this time mainly in Italy many new inns and hotels built to accommodate the rising
number of travellers . These inns and hotels were made luxurious and offered a wide range of services.
The industrial revolution as well contributed to the hospitality industry since people moved to cities for
jobs there was a growing need for hotels and lodging . The 20th
century saw a rise in new types of
establishments such as motel and resorts were developed.
Under the Hospitality industry comes the Food and Beverage Industry (F&B). The food service industry
engages itself in the provision of food and beverages, mainly to people who are away from their homes
but nowadays almost everyone buys food from restaurants and hotels on an occasion or any other
reasons.
05
12. Hospitality Industry has two branches under it namely-
§ Food and Beverage Industry
§ Travel or tourism industry
We will be looking into the Food and beverage industry since V&RO hospitality comes under that
category.
HISTORY OF THE FOOD AND BEVERAGE INDUSTRY-
Restaurants are establishments where refreshments or meals may be provided to the public at a certain
price. The word "restaurant" comes from the French verb restaurer, which means "to restore." The first
restaurants were basically health food shops that sold healing broths and other dishes. These early
restaurants were popular among the rich and the poor and the sick, who believed that the food could
help to restore their health.
The first true restaurant in the modern sense was opened in Paris in 1765 by a man named A. Boulanger.
Boulanger's restaurant, which was called "La Grande Taverne de Londres," offered a variety of dishes,
including soups, stews, and roast meats. Boulanger's restaurant was a success, and it soon inspired other
entrepreneurs to open their own restaurants.
Following the French Revolution, the restaurant industry in France boomed. This was due to the fact
that many of the former chefs of the aristocratic party were now out of work and looking for new ways
to make a living. These chefs brought their skills and expertise to the restaurant industry, and they
helped to raise the standards of dining in France.
By the early 19th century, Paris was home to many thriving restaurants. There were restaurants to suit
all budgets and tastes, from simple canteens and cafes to luxurious hotels and restaurants. The French
restaurant became a model for other countries, and restaurants soon began to appear all over the world.
Today, there are restaurants in almost every country and culture. The restaurant industry is a major part
of the global economy, and it employs millions of people. Restaurants are a place where people come
together to eat, drink, and socialize. They are also a source of great pleasure and enjoyment for people
of all ages.
People have been drinking beverages for thousands of years, and the types of drinks that have been
consumed have changed over time.
06
13. Some of the earliest drinks were made from water, milk, and fruits. These drinks were often fermented,
which produced alcohol. Alcoholic drinks were seen as a way to preserve food and water, and they also
had religious and medicinal purposes.
In the ancient world, beer was one of the most popular alcoholic drinks. Beer was made from barley,
water, and hops, and it was often brewed in large quantities. Wine was another popular alcoholic drink,
and it was made from grapes. Wine was often used in religious ceremonies, and it was also seen as a
symbol of wealth and status.
In the Middle Ages, coffee and tea were introduced to Europe from the Middle East. These drinks
quickly became popular, and they are still some of the most popular beverages in the world today.
In the 17th and 18th centuries, the Industrial Revolution led to the development of new methods of
producing drinks. These new methods made it possible to produce drinks on a mass scale, and this led
to the rise of the soft drink industry.
In the 20th century, the development of new technologies led to the creation of new types of drinks. For
example, the invention of the canning process made it possible to mass-produce canned drinks, and the
invention of the refrigerator made it possible to store and sell chilled drinks.
Today, there are a wide variety of drinks available in the world. These drinks come from all over the
world, and they reflect the diversity of cultures and tastes. Drinks can be alcoholic or non-alcoholic,
and they can be made from a variety of ingredients.

services. The main sources of revenue for hospitality businesses include:
§ Room rates: This is the most important source of revenue for hotels.
§ Food and beverage sales: This is another important source of revenue for hotels, as well as
restaurants, bars, and other foodservice businesses.
§ Meetings and events: This is a growing source of revenue for hotels and other hospitality
businesses.

§ Food and beverage costs: This is a significant expense for hotels and restaurants.
§ Overhead costs: This includes costs such as rent, utilities, and insurance.
§ Marketing and advertising costs: These costs are necessary to attract guests and customers.
Profits
Profits are the amount of money that a hospitality business makes after it has paid all of its expenses.
The profit margin for a hospitality business is typically very low, often around 5%. This means that for
every 100 rupees in revenue, a hospitality business typically makes 5 rupees in profit.
The financials of the hospitality industry can be affected by a number of factors, including:
Economic conditions: The hospitality industry is sensitive to economic conditions. When the
economy is doing well, people tend to travel and spend more money on food and entertainment. When
the economy is doing poorly, people tend to travel less and spend less money on hospitality services.
09
16. Competition: The hospitality industry is a competitive industry. There are many different businesses
competing for the same guests and customers. This can drive down prices and make it difficult for
businesses to make a profit.
Technology: Technology is changing the way that people travel and consume hospitality services.
For example, online travel agencies and mobile apps are making it easier for people to book travel and
find restaurants. This can impact the revenue and profits of traditional hospitality businesses.
The financials of the hospitality industry are complex and can be affected by a number of factors.
However, by understanding the main sources of revenue and expenses, businesses can make informed
decisions about how to manage their finances and improve their profitability.

1.1 trillion in economic activity in the US each year.

own businesses. The low barriers to entry and the potential for high profits make it an attractive option
for many people.

businesses, which helps to support the local economy.

their food and atmosphere.

revenue, attract tourists, promote entrepreneurship, support local businesses, and enhance the quality of

practices.

IMPACT OF COVID 19 PANDEMIC ON RESTAURANT INDUSTRY-
The restaurant industry in India is one of the top three service industries globally (after retail
and insurance). There are two segments of the Indian foodservice market that is the organized and
unorganized segment. The unorganized segment accounts for 86% of all firms, whereas the organized
restaurant segment accounts for only 14%. According to the National Restaurant Association of India
(NRAI), the restaurant industry is one of the main aspects of the Indian service sector, accounting for
around 3% of India's GDP and employing 7.3 million people. India's $50 billion restaurant industry is
expected to lose $9 billion in 2020, with over 2 million people risking job losses and one out of every
four businesses unlikely to reopen.
The second wave of the pandemic impacted India considerably severely than the first, which
disrupted this slow recovery in early 2021. Most fine dining establishments have changed their focus
from in-restaurant dining to delivery services. In the long run, this will radically change the landscape
of the country's delivery industries. Curating a superior experience across the board, from sanitation
and safety to packing and customer-centric content, will usher in a new age of food delivery. The sheer
diversity of varieties and flavours at inexpensive rates has made India and its people famous for their
love of street cuisine. However, after the pandemic, when hygiene has been a top priority, street food
has quickly fallen to the bottom of the list of most disliked dining options. Even when the pandemic
will be over, this pattern is likely to influence the sector for months. In the organized sectors, the market
is expected to increase gourmet street food companies to meet customer standards for flavour, hygiene,
and delivery convenience.
In recent years, the food delivery industry has accelerated, transformed, and modernized across the
country. Each year, the sector employs millions of people, with the workforce shifting from waiters at
sit-down restaurants to delivery drivers. More restaurants are joining food delivery services, opening
delivery-only ghost kitchens, or adjusting their menus to meet the needs of their home-cooking-tired
clients. Despite this, high operating costs posed a significant hurdle for eateries, preventing many from
launching.
16
23. How is the industry changing?
Though the pandemic is still in its early stages, we’ve already seen a considerable shift in how
consumers are getting their food, and how local restaurants and foodservice providers are responding.
1. Local farm shops are booming
One of the biggest shifts has been that of consumers turning to local farms for their fruit, vegetables,
meat and dairy produce. While grocery stores have experienced severe shortages in supply, farms shops
have been able to offer local shoppers a steady stream of fresh goods.
Many local farms now also offer quick-turnaround delivery or contactless collection (with impressively
short lead times), which has been a key advantage for those who are at-risk or quarantined at home.
Grocery stores, on the other hand, have been unable to keep up with demand, leaving many without a
suitable delivery option for weeks, if at all.
Another big advantage of local produce is that people know where their food is coming from, which
not only helps them feel more secure about avoiding shortages from hard-hit countries, but also helps
them contribute to the local economy, supporting local businesses that otherwise might not have been
able to ride out the storm.
2. Restaurants are shifting to take-away or delivery models
It’s no secret that the foodservice industry –and hospitality industry as a whole – has been heavily
impacted by the containment measures imposed by governments. But many restaurateurs have been
quick to adapt their business model to offer their customers more flexible, pandemic-friendly dining
options. This has caused a surge in take-away and delivery service options, not only from quick service
or fast-casual restaurants but also from higher-end restaurants.
While the commission fees of delivery service providers (which typically reach as high as 30%) can be
off-putting for many restaurateurs, there’s good news on the horizon. Many delivery services are
adapting their business models by reducing or eliminating their fees or opting for a flat-rate, subscription
option so restaurants can get a better return on their margins.
But what about food safety concerns? Most restaurants have implemented stringent health & safety
regulations to protect both their staff and their patrons – covering everything from sourcing, to
preparation and service. In China, foodservice operators like McDonald’s have responded with
contactless pick-up options where customers don’t have to make any contact with the staff.
17
24. 3. Independent businesses are seizing the day
As many international chains such as McDonald’s, Subway, KFC and Burger King have decided to
close stores altogether, there’s a growing opportunity for small, independent businesses to fill the gap.
These businesses are more agile and flexible as they employ fewer staff (often from the same family),
and are therefore able to react quicker to serve local customers. These customers are likely to spread
the word throughout their local communities, further boosting the success of these businesses and
building a loyal customer base that’s likely to stick around well after the dust has settled.
CONCLUSION-
In conclusion the hospitality industry is one which is booming and has so many players in
the industry coming under different sectors such as unorganised and organised sector, in the unorganised
sector we have the major portion of it covering street vendors, road side shops, and budget eateries, and
the organised sector includes luxury hotels, 5 star restaurants etc. V&RO hospitality comes under the
organised sector since it mainly focuses in luxury restaurants providing food and beverages with a
luxury experience and they strive for customer satisfaction by providing them with a plethora of options
of cuisines to choose from such as western, Indian, Thai, fast food etc.
Based on the current growth pattern of the company , V&RO Hospitality is one of the
leading players in this industry and with its future expansion plans it is sure that it will be one of the top
10 in the hospitality industry soon. The restaurant industry is using new ideas and creating different
ways for customers to get better satisfaction such as during covid times , restaurants moved to being
delivery and takeaway outlets and with few of them shutting down their restaurants and only serving as
cloud kitchens which will cook the food of different restaurants and send it out to the customer with no
specific location where the customer can come and eat on a table. Just like this the restaurants are slowly
adopting new ideas to grown in the market.

• The changing consumer preferences: Consumer preferences are constantly changing. VRO
Hospitality needs to be able to adapt its product and marketing strategies in order to remain
profitable.
• The rising cost of ingredients: The cost of ingredients has been rising steadily in recent years.
This has put pressure on VRO Hospitality's margins.
• The increasing competition: The competition in the F&B industry is fierce. VRO Hospitality
needs to be able to differentiate itself from its competitors in order to maintain its pricing power.
• The changing consumer preferences: Consumer preferences are constantly changing. VRO
Hospitality needs to be able to adapt its pricing strategies in order to remain competitive.

50. • Competition from other hotel chains: VRO Hospitality faces competition from other hotel
chains, such as Taj Hotels and Oberoi Hotels. These chains have a strong brand presence and a
wide range of hotels to offer. VRO Hospitality could address this by differentiating itself by
offering unique amenities or services.
• Economic downturn: If the economy were to downturn, it could lead to a decrease in demand
for hotel rooms. This would hurt VRO Hospitality's business, as it would lead to a decrease in
revenue.
These challenges could potentially harm VRO Hospitality's business. However, the company can
address these challenges by taking steps to mitigate their impact. For example, VRO Hospitality could
develop a sound marketing strategy to attract new customers, partner with other companies to offer
discounts or promotions, and invest in new technologies to improve its operations. By taking these
steps, VRO Hospitality can position itself to speed through the challenges and continue to grow its
business in the hospitality industry and become one of the top leaders of the industry. It all depends on
how they will implement changes to take care of their weaknesses.
CONCLUSION-
The organizational structure of VRO Hospitality is a flat hierarchy, with a small number of senior
executives and a large number of mid-level and frontline employees. This type of structure is often used
in start-up companies, as it allows for quick decision-making and a high degree of flexibility.
The senior executives at VRO Hospitality are responsible for the overall vision and strategy of the
company. They would also be responsible for setting the company's culture and values. The mid-level
employees would be responsible for the day-to-day operations of the company, such as managing the
restaurants and marketing the brand. The frontline employees would be responsible for providing the
customer service and creating the dining experience. The organizational structure of VRO Hospitality will
likely evolve over time as the company grows and matures. However, this hierarchy is likely to remain a
key feature of the company's structure, as it allows for the quick decision-making and flexibility that are
essential for success in the hospitality industry.
Benefits of this hierarchy system-
• Quick decision-making: A flat hierarchy allows for quick decision-making, which is essential
in the hospitality industry, where changes in the market can happen quickly.
• High degree of flexibility: A flat hierarchy allows for a high degree of flexibility, which is
important for a company that is constantly innovating and changing.

Calculation of financial ratios for company use such as –
Current ratio, Fixed assets to Net worth ratio, Quick ratio, Cash position, Return on equity ratio,
Solvency ratio, return on total resources , interest on loan ratio, proprietary ratio.
I created a report as well for the withholding taxes 194A for future reference use by the company.
I went through the A&L of the company which included the vendors advances , rent deposit, other
deposit, supplier advances, travel advances, prepaid expenses. After going through all of them I had to
file the differences or variations in them or their supportings and get those clarified with the CA of the
firm.
I was also given an individual project where I will have to take all the service agreements which are
verified and signed and create a fresh contract tracker and file those agreements along with it.
I was also given the provisional financial statements such as the balance sheet and the cash flow
statement, the profit and loss account wand was told to go through them and fiind any variations with
the data given to me.
I was following up on the payment of pending bills for the months of May and June.
I was also doing the reconciliation of ledgers of few companies tallied alongside with our ledger.
I prepared a PAN card master sheet for vendors, suppliers, etc. for reference. I uploaded TDS workings
for June from the server, categorizing them separately under the categories 194A, 194C, 194H, 194I,
194J, 192B. I uploaded transactions with companies and posted journal entries. I learned about filing
GSTR-1 form for Food, Liquor, Tobacco, tax slabs, and deadlines. I uploaded invoices in the
company’s bank server and booked them. I learned about the stock market, reading annual reports, and
predicting a company's future. I learned about GST, filing, slabs, and tax returns. I reconciled
statements and updated daily sales reports of each outlet in Bengaluru individually. I followed up on
cheque payments from vendors and suppliers.
During my time in this company I have also learnt certain value of time management as well as
teamwork and communication. In an office without proper communication the office is bound to fall
but in VRO Hospitality the office environment was very supporting and all my colleagues helped me
learn different topics they were specialized in especially the internal audit CA of the firm Mr. Tarish
Vasant who helped me learn a lot.
