Streamline Operations and Sustain Service Excellence
Through Tailored learning designed for Your Front Office and Restaurant Teams
As a Hospitality Leader, you probably deal with this daily
It's a busy Sunday lunch. Ali, the new server is struggling with a guest's order. Unclear on the menu and overwhelmed by the pressure, he stumbles while describing the dish. Guests are clearly unimpressed with his unsure answers.
Or this…
Sarah, a long-time receptionist, is flustered. Normally knowledgeable and attentive, today she is stressed and distracted, skipping over some check-in details, leaving the guests feeling ignored.
Then there’s Emma, the hostess, who accidentally seats a birthday group in a wrong section, missing their request for a table with a view. The special night they’d planned? Off to a shaky start.
Moments like these add up fast, creating a chain of missed expectations, inconsistent service, and lost business.
As a result, Guests reject upselling attempts, leave average 3 star reviews and don’t come back.
Service gaps are the same
I know because I was solving the very same problems. And working with more than 15 hotels, service gaps in most properties were the same
1.
confusion in procedures in key service touchpoints leading to inconsistency
2.
lack of product knowledge that hits revenue
3.
missing problem handling skills resulting in lost guests and burned-out staff
4.
technical mistakes that ruin all other efforts
5.
poor understanding of the brand and service style leading to just an OK guest experience
Mistakes do happen, and it’s ok
What’s most frustrating is when your team doesn't learn from them. So you end up fixing the same issues over and over. Typically, there are two go-to “solutions”: disciplinary actions or low-impact, tick-the-box training, and both don’t really work.
So what really works?
A Learning Strategy
that allows to
1
put essential training on auto-pilot
2
reinforce knowledge effortlessly
3
drive guest satisfaction and $
Otherwise it ends up like this…
You already have a hundred things to manage, training just adds on to your overwhelm
No time
Planning, arranging and delivering training takes time, effort and a lot of thought to make it fruitful
Lack of staff
Being short on staff, complex rosters always lead to cancelled trainings
Busy operations
Long hours, handling operations and ensuring all targets are met don’t make training your priority.
Bottom line
1.
departmental learning happens chaotically - random topics, rare sessions, ineffective format.
2.
such approach makes training a “tick-the-box” activity with no outcomes.
3.
it wastes everyone’s time, decreasing engagement and motivation to learn
But things can be different.
