Unforced errors in hospitality and customer service are often a result of bad management choices and underinvestment in systems, training, and people.
These choices have consequences and can lead to the loss of valuable customers, a message of carelessness, and a risk to the organization's future.
Customer service should be an opportunity to create delight and impact, but management often fails to recognize the systems they are building and maintaining.
Getting the systems right is crucial for success in hospitality, as it forms the foundation for everything else.
