Hospitality Powerhouse - Toni Clarke

The Michelle Pascoe Hospitality Podcast

Toni Clarke (aka TC) is a phenomenal powerhouse woman in the hospitality industry. Toni delivers a blend of practical hands-on experience with extensive management expertise and a sound knowledge of successful hospitality operations having held positions ranging from Chef, Food and Beverage Manager, Operations Manager and General Manager in a diverse range of restaurants, hotels and Clubs.

Toni’s commitment to the industry ensures she remains in touch with the latest consumer trends in food and beverage and as a result is a frequent speaker at industry forums.

She is the co-founder of RT Hospitality Solutions providing a comprehensive range of management and advisory services to the hospitality industry.

Toni is also “tour guide” extraordinaire. I have had the privilege to travel to the USA several times with Toni as she heads up a wonderfully curated food and beverage tour for those in the hospitality industry co-ordinated with Jodie Tipping and her team from Total Travel Management. Each year the tour takes in the National Restaurant Association trade show in Chicago and then one or two other cities exploring back of house as well as dining at some amazing establishments. This year was no exception as we explored fine dining in Chicago and Nashville.

Toni shares her knowledge and wisdom in this podcast, her connections with community and the amazing work she does with other volunteers in New Zealand in providing food through Basket of Blessings.

If you know Toni you know this longer than usual podcast is worth listening to every single second.
