When you walk into a fine dining restaurant serving A là Carte Menu, what runs through your mind? Fine dining restaurants in my location have surpassed my expectations so far. The ambiance and aura of the spaces always give off “we are here to cater to your fine-dining needs.” Picturesque location, water view, smiling staff, excellent plating and table service you name them. Menu planning in F&B, is focused on planning menus to cater to the needs of customers while making profit, using all available ingredients, equipment, physical surroundings and SKILLS of its employees at a reasonable cost! While it is imperative to invest in excellent menu planning and luxury finishing, the peak of a product/service business in Hospitality like Food and Beverage is HUMAN RESOURCE. Dear F&B recruiters, invest in employees with like passion as yours. Employees who are enthusiastic about your business, when you find them train them to be better. Poor customer service can ruin the taste of a palatable meal. #hospitality #foodandbeverage

Danny Meyer needs no introduction to the restaurant industry. When he says a great restaurant is one that makes you feel like you're not sure whether you went out or you came home and confuses you, it resonates deeply with me as a restaurateur. For me, creating a dining experience that blurs the boundaries between going out and coming home is not just a goal but a philosophy that guides everything we do. At our restaurant, I strive to cultivate an atmosphere where guests feel immediately welcomed and embraced, much like stepping into their own living room. The warmth of our hospitality, the carefully curated ambiance, and the attention to detail in every dish aim to evoke a sense of comfort and familiarity. However, what truly excites me is the element of surprise and delight that Danny Meyer speaks of. It's about crafting menus that intrigue and challenge, offering flavors and combinations that are both comforting and unexpectedly innovative. Seeing guests delight in new tastes or discovering a twist on a familiar dish is incredibly fulfilling—it's that moment of joyful confusion where they experience something unique and memorable. Meyer's quote reminds me that a great restaurant isn't just about serving delicious food; it's about creating an experience that leaves a lasting impression, where every visit feels like a discovery, and every guest feels like they've found a special place they can call their own. It's about blending the comfort of home with the excitement of exploration, forging connections through food and hospitality that transcend the ordinary. As a restaurateur, this philosophy inspires me to continually refine and innovate, to strive for that perfect balance where guests feel both at ease and exhilarated, where dining out becomes a cherished experience that feels like coming home to something extraordinary. #zaitoon #home #experience

The Critical Role of Communication Between Chefs and Dining Managers in Fine Dining In fine dining, every detail counts, and communication between the kitchen chef and the dining manager plays a vital role in delivering an exceptional guest experience. Here’s why effective communication is key in a fine dining setting. 1. Coordinating Service Timing is everything in fine dining. The dining manager communicates guest flow and special requests to the chef, ensuring dishes are prepared and served at just the right moment. This coordination helps maintain a smooth and uninterrupted dining experience. 2. Customizing Orders Guests often have specific dietary needs or preferences. By relaying these details to the kitchen, the dining manager helps the chef accommodate these requests, ensuring guest satisfaction and attention to detail. 3. Maintaining Quality Clear communication helps identify any issues, like delays or presentation concerns. This allows the kitchen to make quick adjustments, ensuring food is delivered consistently at a high standard. 4. Quick Problem-Solving In a fast-paced environment, unexpected challenges can arise. Open communication between the chef and dining manager ensures these issues are addressed quickly, minimizing any impact on the guest experience. 5. Enhancing Guest Satisfaction When communication is efficient, it results in seamless service, high-quality dishes, and a better overall experience for guests. This leads to positive reviews and repeat business, which is essential for a fine dining restaurant's success. Effective communication between chefs and dining managers is the foundation of a smooth, high-quality fine dining experience. #finedining #hospitality #communication #guestexperience #leadership #linkdinlearning #linkdin

Beyond the plate: Different approach to get more costumers in your establishment. Honestly this not only apply to restaurants, but anybody also who is offering a product or service should take this advice. I'd rather go to a restaurant where the food is a 10 but costumer service is a 10 than go one where food is a 10 but the customer service is a 7. I believe, hospitality is more than just serving a meal; it's about welcoming others into our homes and hearts with warmth and sincerity. When we invite guests in, we offer more than just food – we offer connection, care, and an experience they'll cherish. In restaurants, though we may not see the chefs behind the scenes, the essence of hospitality still shines through in the attentive service provided by the staff. While the meal itself may be warm and freshly made, it's the personal touch of the staff that truly makes the difference, creating an atmosphere of genuine hospitality. So, whether dining at home or out at a restaurant, let's remember that the heart of hospitality lies in the connections we forge and the care we extend to one another. The warmth of a freshly prepared dish, served with care and consideration, speaks volumes about the dedication of those who crafted it. However, it's the human touch — the genuine interest, the attentive service, and the heartfelt exchanges — that elevate a dining experience from merely satisfying to truly memorable.

Quick Question: Great food or Great Service ? Would you rather Good food and Great Service OR Great food and Good Service? What creates a better experience for you? I’ve been many places where the food was “good” and the servers engaged in conversation, suggested “great” options, and really exceeded expectations. And then I have been to places where the food was “great” with the price tag to match and the service was just “good.” I was just another table, on another night, and they were just waiting to process the payment. I always yearned for a CHEERS experience; where every body knows your name. The goal is to create an experience where each guests feels a sense of belonging. “GREAT” service is the heart ❤️ of every unforgettable dining experience. From warm, genuine hospitality to anticipating guests needs, “GREAT” service shapes how guests view a restaurant. It's more than just serving food 🍛; it's about creating moments that leave a lasting impression. “Good” food is essential, but “GREAT” service is what truly elevates the guest experience. #quigleyquoaching #guestexperience #goodvsgreat #hospitalityexcellence #Cheers l
