:: BYO-Toiletpaper :: This is an actual accessible washroom stall…wait for it… …in a restaurant! Clearly, no person in the design, construction or approval processes stopped to ask THE question: Who will this be serving? Sadly, what should be an obvious question fails to be asked waaaaaaaaaay more often than you would think. You might find it surprising, I did, but don’t anymore. I encounter this epic failure all the time. If you own a business, for every product service you design or provide, every space you build, and yes, even for every menu you create, it is critical to ask yourself: Who is this for? Who do we/will this serve? What does it need to be, do and have to work for them? How can I better get to know “them”? If you fear you’ll forget, just remember the image of this toilet stall that doesn’t even serve a person who does not need an accessible stall!! If you forget this image, you might just forget THE question and you risk you clients having to BYO-toiletpaper or [ insert the critical things they need and important things they want or expect from your business ]. - - - - - - - And, for more great content on how to make spaces accessible, so no one has to BYO-TP, bag hooks, assist rails, hand sanitizer, etc., follow the fantastic Julie Sawchuk.

Is this true for you as well? For me it's all part of the #restaurant experience. It's good to know that it drives more sales to the restaurant and for the #distributors who support them. 😀 "Diners say clanking dishes, larger parties and clubby beats can be a distraction when eating out. Entering a hushed dining room is often just as upsetting. Some call ahead of time to investigate noise levels. Others leave before being seated. Restaurant owners think they know something about their diners that their diners might not fully know about themselves: They enjoy busy spaces more than they realize. #Customers tend to have more fun in louder environments. High-energy dining rooms are more likely to turn diners into repeat clients, they say." #supplychainvisibility #demandforecasting https://lnkd.in/gX8gAJpg

What differentiates a good restaurant from an excellent one? For me it’s in the attention to detail. How you do the little things is how you approach everything. I look at the bathroom, is it clean and well maintained? This is a clear sign of how they maintain their kitchen as well. If they have soup, is it done well? Because soup is “basic” restaurants that take the time to make soup well means that they take time to make all the dishes well - think of all those tasteless mushroom soups you’ve had - you know what i mean. At Inato, the staff rolled up tiny towels in a bowl and I wondered what it was for - each tiny towel was used once to wipe the serving tray on each diners table. The staff in the video here, was carefully removing the pits of the calamansi to be used for a main course. How thoughtful! Transforming a good dining experience to a great one. #serviceexcellence #customerservice Imelda Durmiendo, FSCO Yvette Nicdao, CSSYB,FSCO
