Let's talk about an awkward situation, and please share your advice on the proper way to handle it. Here is the scenario. You have been invited to a business dinner at a restaurant and your dinner party runs up a pretty decent bill and takes a pretty decent amount of time at the table. The server provides outstanding service throughout the evening. At the end of the event, you happen to notice that your host gives a tip that you consider to be embarrassingly and rudely low. What would you do, if anything? Is it proper to bring it up with your dinner host? Is it proper to leave an additional tip? Do you just grin and bear it, given that you are not the host of the dinner? #tip #tipping #dinner #businessdinner #etiquette

🔥 Hot Take: Everyone needs a hospitality gig once in their life. Here are two things I've learned in relation to this topic: 1) A stint in hospitality (or customer service! ) should be an initiation for everyone; it taught me to be human and humble. My years of waiting tables helped me master reflective listening, hone in on communication patterns and work collaboratively with multiple teams. 2) I've often said you can tell a lot about somebody by going to dinner with them—a total character de-coder.

The 80’s rock band Cinderella might have said it best: “Don't know what you got 'til it's gone.” I was recently at a restaurant next to a large university that was absolutely packed with guests coming and going at a very busy dinner time. As I sat down inside and ate, I couldn’t help but notice a young man I will call Edward who was a whirlwind of constant hustle. An amazing blur of speed wiping down and sanitizing tables, asking seated guests how their meal was, smiling and joking with kids, emptying trash cans and putting in new trash liners, guiding patrons to newly available tables, picking up trash left behind by a homeless gentleman that came in and dumped out the trash can to find an empty cup? Check - Edward did it ALL. When Edward came to clean my table, I said “I have to tell you how impressed I am with what you have been doing in the short time I have been eating here. Does your general manager and restaurant brand know and tell you what a difference you are making for them? Look how happy all these people are. You are the engine making everything in this dining room work so smoothly.” My meal literally tasted better and better every single additional minute that I watched Edward at work and I will be absolutely certain to revisit that restaurant the next time I am in the area. Recognition and appreciation are among the most valuable currencies we can pay to our team members and employees. Do not take the Edwards who work at your own company for granted as you do so at your own peril, lest the words sung by Cinderella haunt your recruiting dreams. #recognition #appreciation

An advisor decided to host his lunch seminars at a new, popular restaurant. He had a full room booked and believed he was prepared. However, he neglected a critical detail: confirming the time he could enter the restaurant. He scheduled the lunch seminar for 11 a.m. without verifying he could get in an hour early to set up the room. On the day of the seminar, he arrived an hour early with all his materials, including pull-up banners and boxes of handouts. To his dismay, the restaurant refused entry until it officially opened at 11 a.m. The lady at the door firmly stated that no one was allowed inside before then. As a result, the advisor and his attendees were left waiting outside. This mishap did not create a favorable first impression. When organizing lunch seminars, always confirm the earliest time you can access the room for setup. Alternatively, schedule the event at least an hour after the restaurant opens to ensure a smooth and professional experience for your attendees. This small but crucial step can significantly enhance the overall success of your lunch seminars. #financialadvisor #financialservices #growyourpractice
