We focus on what matters to us, on what we value as important.
So, what happens when we misvalue something in business and don’t realise how much this costs us?
Sadly, I see this a lot in Hospitality.
Lots of attention is given to the minutest service detail while at the same time overlooking the importance of kindness, generosity, and fun.
I may ruffle a few feathers here, but in years of being in the industry and with my fair share of going out, I know that hospitality equals service (if not surpasses it in many situations) and needs the same attention.
· A guest will forgive a delay in the kitchen when the response is filled with authentic hospitality.
· A colleague will forget a stressful response from a manager when they show their vulnerability afterwards.
· A wrong order will result in a decision to return to the venue when the mistake is handled with honesty and appreciation.
· A chef will support their FOH colleague when they share the same hospitality ethos.
· A smile often means more than the most accomplished dish.
I could list dozens more examples of how your hospitality business benefits from the daily expression of hospitality, especially nowadays when we all want to feel safe, joyful and cared for more than ever before. 💚

If you and your team want to enhance your hospitality skills, I invite you to contact me. I'm here to help you tap into the joy of hospitality.
As part of LaSA Training, I run a workshop and a course that provide tools to cultivate hospitality daily, especially how to ignite it when this 'feel good factor' is slow to
kick in. We celebrate the magic and wonder of hospitality for the benefit of everyone on the team and their customers/guests.
