7.2 Enlightened hospitality

According to Danny Meyer, one of the world’s most successful restaurateurs, marketing is not merely advertising; it is how the business makes the guest feel. To create genuine hospitality, you must first take care of the staff.

When servers and cooks receive good training and are treated with respect, it is reflected in the service. A satisfied guest who experiences personal and sincere service is far more likely to become a regular – the most valuable form of marketing there is.
