WHY TRAIN?
"9% of customers will leave because they are lured away by the competition, 14% will leave because of dissatisfaction with the product, and 67% will leave because of the attitude of one person in your organization." WHAT THE INDUSTRY IS SAYING:
"As an owner and a chef, I can tell you that usually we say we are too busy to train or it is too expensive but this training will pay for itself. The feedback from the team was off the charts and everyone found it to be time well spent. Thanks again for providing us such a valuable experience!" Certified Guest Service Companies:
