We tackle the age-old practice of adding staff as a solution to hospitality challenges and examine how to add excitement in place of consistency. We invite you to join our debate as we put traditional hospitality methods under the microscope, weighing their value against the possibility of delivering superior guest experiences sans the enormous labor costs.
As we traverse continents, we delve into an intriguing comparison between European and American hospitality practices, shedding light on how tipping influences the industry's dynamics. We then bring your attention to an often overlooked, yet powerful aspect of hospitality – the role of scent.
