Customers are after not just a purchase, they also seek a great experience. This intangible factor can either break or make a business.

Recently I went to  Open House Port Macquarie, looking for nothing in particular, just a Saturday morning browse through the variety of furniture and home wares. Thankfully, there was a cafe there also!  Rachel our Barista, was amazing, she had all the essential ingredients … great smile, warm greeting as well as great Barista skills. Our stay was not only extended, our mood was now elevated and let me tell you, there is nothing like an elevated mood to get that wallet open!

Open House met all 5  of our human senses … maybe even a 6th one!

1. Visually appealing surroundings , with loads of colour, and interesting items.
2. Sounds of soft laughter, background music and the “quiet spaces to sit and contemplate”
3. Customers are enticed to touch and feel – you can’t help it!
4. The taste of coffee and the amazing cheese cake was to die for!
5. The Aroma of coffee and the subtle perfumes abound
6. Lastly, that 6th sense that tell you to come back because … just because it “felt good!”

Thanks OPEN House… we will return!

Do you have a great chef who is ever-reliable, loyal and well-trained?

One of the biggest challenges affecting the hospitality industry is the task of finding appropriate kitchen staff. The lack of properly educated and trained employees can be a major problem.

The industry needs reliable, loyal, educated and trained employees!  Competition is intensifying more rapidly every day; it must surely be wise for management to implement long-term development and mentoring programs for their staff so that they can stay competitive and maintain good staff!

Often many experienced chefs leave the kitchen to find alternative employment. Low wages, long working hours and excessive discipline are amongst the more common reasons for their decision to quit their jobs.  However, there are 6 important factors that also influence their decision to move on.

1. staff shortages
2. excessive workloads
3. lack of feedback on performance
4. feelings of being undervalued
5. insufficient management support
6. poor communication between staff

The biggest challenge faced by the food and beverage industry is the availability of qualified personnel and motivated employees.  Analyse your current staff… and focus on their abilities and potential..  Could your Head Chef be mentored into a management position? What areas for career development can you offer?

Due to the difficulties in finding qualified and motivated employees and the cost of selecting and training employees, I recommend that Hospitality focus on their current personnel and seek ways to keep their motivation at maximum levels.  Sometimes the best ones are right under your nose!
