https://lnkd.in/e_tvbpQq The Olympics has me thinking about excellence and going for the gold – setting goals, working diligently and consistently towards them, and then knocking them out of the park.  Is your business striving to achieve the business equivalent of an Olympic gold medal? Of course I am referring to an award like those just given out by the Philadelphia Business Journal for “The Best Places to Work 2024.” I know companies work especially hard to distinguish themselves as outstanding places to work. But fostering a corporate culture that allows your employees to enthusiastically vote for you as “the best” is especially difficult – everything from work-life balance to the brand of coffee in the snack area matters. The Journal highlighted that employees gave higher reviews for companies that provided “regular company gatherings intended to foster camaraderie.” And that’s where I come in to deliver on this elusive and intangible – but very necessary – corporate culture element: team camaraderie. The StrEATsofPhilly Corporate Experience packages are designed with teambuilding and company culture-building in mind. Your team will get to spend an afternoon or evening dining, laughing, and making lasting connections, completely stress-free. I handle all of the logistics from the moment you arrive to your final bite.  Pop over to the StrEATsofPhilly link above to learn more! PS: Visit Philadelphia was ranked in the top 3 for their size category!

In today's competitive landscape, hospitality isn't merely about catering to guests; it's about fostering a culture that extends far beyond the confines of our establishments. At the heart of this ethos lies a profound commitment to our people – the backbone of our industry. Without a doubt, the success of any hospitality venture hinges on the dedication and passion of its team members. Yet, all too often, we overlook the critical importance of investing in their growth and well-being. How can we expect them to wholeheartedly contribute to the prosperity of our business if we fail to prioritize their development? Investing in our people isn't just a matter of altruism; it's a strategic imperative. By nurturing a culture of continuous learning, empowerment, and support, we cultivate a workforce that is not only motivated but also equipped with the skills and knowledge to drive innovation and excellence. #hospitality #training #restaurant

Is Shareholder or Consumer the King? These past few days I have been intrigued by the concept of Hospitality and went down the rabbit hole to understand what it is all about. I realized it is different than service which focuses on meeting customers' needs & solving their problems, whereas hospitability is about making customers FEEL welcome, comfortable, and happy (based on Les Roches , one of the world's leading hospitality schools). Yes the shareholder's investment is important to start a business, but it is the customers who pay the bills to maintain & even expand our business. But Danny Meyer who founded Union Square Hospitality Group (USHG) which gave birth to some of New York's most beloved and acclaimed restaurants like Gramercy Tavern and Eleven Madison Park (voted as The World's Best Restaurant in 2017), think differently. His restaurants are well known for its distinctive and celebrated culture of Enlightened Hospitality with the guiding principle of: Prioritizing Employees First & Foremost. This has driven and shaped USHG's ongoing evolution from a small group of restaurants into a multi-faceted hospitality organization. Danny said: "Business, like life, is all about how you make people feel." Not only our customers', but also our employees'. If employees feel like the organization is theirs, they will not only be more engaged and productive, but also improve innovation and relationship with colleagues, which will be naturally felt by guests. How do you develop this sense of ownership? By making them feel connected & work together for a common goal. One of the ways to do this is through Team Bonding, which is what my friend Rajat Desai is doing in partnership with Sing Experience Pte Ltd offering 35+ themed games & activities designed to help teams communicate, collaborate, & negotiate better in a fun and engaging environment through over 1,000 events since 2010. PS: I have also added on the comment links to Youtube videos where I learned about hospitality from Danny Meyer and Will Guidara, who wrote the New York Times bestselling book: Unreasonable Hospitality. #Hospitality #EmployeeExperience #Teambuilding

Great teams make great restaurants. Empowered Hospitality exists because we know most #restaurateurs want to create a great environment for their teams. Yet, the hustle and bustle of daily operations often leave little time to focus on team satisfaction and support. We help overcome the lack of time and resources, and bring focused and empathic #HRleadership to managers and employees who strive for better. The team at 7shifts has done an incredible job surveying over 1,500 active restaurant employees to uncover what fulfills them most at work. These valuable insights can help all of us create a workplace that #attracts and #retains top talent.

How often do you appreciate your coworkers? People work harder when they're recognized for their contributions. When surveyed, 85% of restaurant employees said more recognition from management would have major impact on their engage at work. This seems like a small and inexpensive way to drive more value in your business, and appreciating people in our lives is just the right thing to do. #RestaurantTech #CompanyCulture #RestaurantManagement

"we put employees first" should mean All employees. Many misunderstood this about the first tenet of Danny Meyer's enlightened hospitality. When we said "Take care of each other first" he didn't mean it was only a manager's job to take care of each other first". he didn't mean it was only a manager's job to take care of the hourly employees: it was everyone's job to take care of everyone. Managers are employees too. That doesn't mean they're automatically right or should be allowed to fire loyal, long-standing employees on a whim. But if you take care of your managers and give them what they need to be successful, you put them in a better position to take care of their team's.

Good morning everyone! As we transition into Fall, I wanted to share a recent experience from one of our restaurant clients. For those of you that follow, you know at my company, we focus on providing HR and operational services and building company culture. During a recent visit earlier this week with a franchisee client, we had the opportunity to connect with team members to understand their work experiences better. I met with a dedicated team member responsible for the drive-up window, who shared her passion for hospitality. She went onto share that she recognizes customers by their voices and when they get to the menu board calls them by name like family. One particular guest she mentioned is an elderly couple that comes to the drive up twice a week. They simply say, "Hey it's us" when welcomed to this location. The team member calls them by name, says hello, and prepares their order down to making sure less salt is on their fries. Imagine how this makes them feel! This reminded me of a powerful quote from Will Guidara's book "Unreasonable Hospitality" - "The moment you start to pursue service through the lens of hospitality, you start to understand there's nobility in it." This team member embodies that nobility through her genuine care for her guests. I was also reminded of revered business author, Peter Drucker, who said - "Culture eats strategy for breakfast." Building a positive work culture and treating your team with respect are foundational elements for business success. When you prioritize your team's well-being and foster a supportive environment, your business will flourish. #HR #CompanyCulture #Hospitality #BusinessSuccess
