Höfundur: Margrét Reynisdóttir

Do you want to learn how to communicate effectively with guests?

Tag:

Customer service is critical to hospitality, especially in the restaurant environment. While guests may come for the food, there’s no doubt that they return for the service. It does not matter: whether it’s a restaurant, café, fast food outlet or cafe, the quality of service your customers receive will have a significant impact on whether they prove to be repeat guests or one-time visitors. In this training video*, we introduce effective ways of communication and good practice in restaurants from the time guests enter the restaurant to when they leave.

Objectives:

  • Learn do´s &  don’ts in effective communication.
  • Understand how the right sales techniques can enhance the guest experience.
  • Learn strategies for dealing with difficult customers.
  • Increase a sense of security at work, and job satisfaction and reduce employee turnover.
