PBM interviews Melbourne GM of the world famous Nobu restaurant group - Dec 21, 2007

Pitt-Bull Media has been working to develop case studies with the clients of Macro Solutions, detailing their Point of Sale (POS) technologies. Macro Solutions designs and implements customised POS solutions in a range of hospitality environments for clients around Australia. Last month we interviewed Ben Jager, General Manager of Nobu Melbourne, for the first of a series of client case studies for Macro Solutions.

                 

The world-renowned Nobu restaurant group formed in the early 1990s after New Yorker Robert De Niro became intrigued with the distinctive cuisine of Los Angeles chef Nobu Matsuhisa. After training in Japan, Matsuhisa relocated to Peru and developed a unique style combining Japanese cuisine with South American influences. Later, he settled in LA where De Niro was a frequent customer at his restaurant. The two men became friends and decided to form a partnership and open a second restaurant in New York.

Nobu Melbourne, opened this year in partnership with James Packer at the Crown complex, is the 18th restaurant in the Japanese food empire that is regarded by many as the world's most iconic and influential restaurant group. De Niro visited for the opening in July and the accompanying publicity has drawn thousands of patrons in the months since. Ben Jager chose Macro Solutions as their technology partner to design, implement and manage the systems that are so critical to the Nobu business model.
