Service Arts for Restaurants…

Let me train your teams to create awe-inspiring customer service results towards how you treat your customers.

Good customer service is rare. Exceeding customer expectations is rarer still. That’s because customer service does not come naturally to most people.

But it can be taught. You know that – and it’s why you are on this website, reading this.

Whatever your situation, I have a training and coaching package that is absolutely right for you. Business or personal.

 

My culinary arts, film & theatre, real estate, productivity coaching and management work, has given me strong fundamentals for delivering the fundamentals you are going to need.

 

You will never be bored. You will learn with a smile. I guarantee it.

Plus of course, financially benefiting from it as a result – either as a business, or as an individual.

Restaurants a speciality

Most restaurants I know, handle training in-house using in-house servers.

 

“Yeah, this is how we do it here… study the food and the wine.”

 

Training can be from 2 days to 2 weeks, generally revolving around the standard memorizing of food, beverage and ingredients. Very little, if any, training is done about customers and how to give them a 5-star experience – every time.

Sometimes there’s a test at the end. After that, the owners throw the trainee out on the floor and hope everything works out.

Most of the time, it doesn’t.

No surprise there. Because, there’s no mission and no passion.

And no essential education about what they are going to face.

 

Nothing about customer retention.

Connection.

Relationships.
Theatre.
