Setting the Stage for an Unforgettable World Cup Experience
Hello, entrepreneurial community and hospitality lovers! Do you feel that energy? Eight months before Mexico hosts the FIFA World Cup 2026, the air is thick with a monumental opportunity. It is a time to shine, to show the planet the warmth and greatness of our culture. Jack Sourasky, leader of the National Chamber of the Restaurant and Seasoned Food Industry in Mexico City (Canirac CDMX), has launched a powerful and clear message: let’s prepare the ground for collective success. The vision is not just about short-term gains; it’s about building a reputation that resonates long after the last game is over. This is our golden opportunity to transform global perception and turn Mexico City into a world-class culinary destination. Imagine the doors that can be opened with a positive experience that tourists take back to their countries. The focus should be on excellence and authenticity, creating moments that become indelible memories for each visitor.
At the heart of this preparation lies a fundamental principle: price transparency. Sourasky has been emphatic in urging restaurateurs to avoid any abuse of their rates during this period of high demand. Because? Because a strategy based on greed can have a devastating rebound effect. “This is going to affect tourism,” he warns. But let’s look at this from the perspective of growth: when we operate with integrity, we not only avoid the intervention of the Federal Consumer Protection Agency (Profeco), but we build trust. And trust is the most valuable asset in any business. A tourist who feels treated fairly is an ambassador for life. It’s a priceless public relations investment. This is our chance to demonstrate that the real value is not in the price, but in the comprehensive experience we offer, from the treatment to the last bite.
Excellence as Our Universal Language
But the mission goes far beyond the price tag. It’s about going the extra mile and exceeding expectations. Sourasky highlights the crucial need to make service adjustments to keep up with this global event. This involves proactive transformation. Hiring multilingual staff, especially fluent in the English language, is not a luxury, it is a necessity in the global sports village. Creating new menus that present our incredible gastronomy in an accessible and intriguing way for international visitors is part of this exciting challenge. Think of your menus not only as a list of dishes, but as a cultural map that guides diners through the flavors of our land. It is the art of telling a story through the ingredients and culinary techniques that define us.
Training is the key that unlocks this new level of service. The call is to empower each member of the team, from the kitchen to the dining room. Training restaurant owners and their collaborators in exceptional treatment and language skills is investing in the most important asset: people. “Basically that, that they speak English, make menus in English“, concludes Sourasky. Imagine the smile of a tourist when he can place his order in his language or when he understands the story behind a traditional dish. That human connection is what turns a simple meal into a memorable and shareable experience. We are cultivating not only satisfied customers, but friends of Mexico in every corner of the world. This preparation is a journey of professional and personal growth for the entire industry.
This spirit of good practices is an ecosystem. When a restaurant chooses excellence and equity, it elevates the entire community. Canirac will be in constant contact with its members to promote this win-win mentality. Collective consciousness is the basis. Moderating our business practices is not a limitation, it is an intelligence strategy! A City perceived as excessively expensive will scare away future tourism. Instead, a reputation for being a welcoming destination, with fair prices and a rich cultural experience, will ensure that we win much more than a few games; We will win the heart of the world and a flow of recurring tourism. We are building the foundation for a lasting legacy that will transform the city’s hospitality industry forever.
So, dear restaurateurs, chefs, waiters and hosts, let us embrace this challenge with the optimism and passion that characterizes us. This is not a marathon we run alone; It is a team effort where the success of one fuels the success of all. Let’s adjust our menus, polish our services, open our hearts and show the best version of ourselves. The world comes to our door, and we have the opportunity to offer them not just a dish, but a little piece of our essence. Transformation begins today, with every conscious decision and every act of service. The 2026 World Cup is our stage, and together we can deliver a performance the world will never forget.
Ready to be part of this historic transformation? Share this message of preparation and excellence with all entrepreneurs and food lovers on your social networks.
