  • While I generally agree, there aren’t enough hotels who cater to special needs. For example I have two life threatening food allergies. Most hotels will tell me they can’t cater to my needs because everything is prepared in the same pots, pans and cutting boards. I can’t even have breakfast at most hotels.

    The two times when I went to hotels that specifically advertised themselves as being allergy-friendly, I still ended up with 1) hazelnuts as decoration on my steak because it was Christmas and the cook had forgotten about my anaphylaxis to nuts and 2) being told on arrival that contrary to the information via email they only have a breakfast buffet where everything is prepared on the same cutting boards and it’s all contaminated with nuts.

    And I’m sure I’m not the only one. People with severe gluten intolerance or other food-related restrictions are having a hard time. Hotels just don’t give a fuck for people with special needs. AirBnB or camping is currently the only way I can stay in a different city.

    That doesn’t mean I think what is happening with AirBnB and the cities is great, I just wish more hotels would be accommodating to special needs so they can be an option for everyone. For me it would already suffice if I could use the fridge and just prepare my own breakfast in my room, but most hotels allow fridge-usage only for medicine.





  • Ich arbeite im ÖD und wir haben das Projekt eines Kundenportals zum digitalen Abruf von Bescheiden (Müllabfuhr und sowas) eingestampft, weil hinten und vorne das Personal für die Umsetzung fehlt. Sowohl Entwickler fehlen als auch die Kapazitäten bei den Ämtern, um das Projekt fachlich zu begleiten. Bevor man so ein Mammutprojekt wie einen Daten-Vault auch nur anfängt, müsste man massiv das Personal erhöhen. Aber das kriegst du den Wählern und Politikern nicht erklärt, dass wir erstmal deutlich mehr Beamte und ÖD-Angestellte bräuchten, bevor wir im großen Stil Digitalisierungsprojekte realisieren können.
