Had an interesting dining experience last night at an Italian restaurant in Sedona, AZ. The bill included a 3% Business Operations Fee Dine In charge, separate from the tip. When I inquired about it, the waiter explained that it was implemented to offset rising food costs until business returns to pre-COVID levels. I've been coming to this restaurant for over 18 years and eat out frequently, never encountering such a charge before. While I understand the need to adjust prices, transparent communication is key. Suggestions for restaurants implementing similar charges: 1. Inform customers with proper signage 2. Separate the fee from tips 3. Provide servers with training on addressing guest inquiries about the fee. #restaurantexperience #businessoperations #transparency #restauranttraining #customerexperience #sedona #guestexperience #REMAit #assessment #TRE International Retail Group, LLC

Dining Out: Making the Most of Your Experience Experiencing Michelin-star restaurants such as Gordon Ramsay’s restaurant in London or The French Laundry in Napa Valley can be the highlight of a trip. However, it can also be expensive and difficult to secure a reservation, especially during dinner hours. If you’re looking for a memorable culinary experience on your trip with more ease on your wallet, consider booking a lunch reservation. Many high-end restaurants offer tasting menus at lunch for up to 50% of the dinner price, with the same level of quality and service. Additionally, lunchtime is generally less busy, providing a more relaxed dining experience and fewer wait times. Planning your meals this way not only saves money but also gives you a chance to enjoy your evenings exploring the city or attending other events. So next time you're planning a special dining experience, think about making it a memorable lunch instead.
