The essentials in delivering great hospitality: 1️⃣ Being present. 2️⃣ Taking what you do seriously, without taking yourself too seriously. 3️⃣ Giving people a genuine sense of belonging, one size fits one. Restaurateur Will Guidara's life took a surprising turn when he served a $2 hot dog at his upscale four-star restaurant. The positive response inspired him to pursue "unreasonable hospitality," focusing on creating extraordinary experiences. In his heartwarming talk, he shares three steps to craft memorable moments centered on human connection, applicable to any business.

It is always a joy to come together as a company during our townhalls. These sessions offer invaluable insights from all corners of Taziki's Mediterranean Cafe. With the guidance of Will Guidara's book, “Unreasonable Hospitality”, our time concluded with me posing a few questions: What are the little things that the restaurants you love do that make them your favorite restaurants? How can you create unique and tailored experiences for your guests that goes above and beyond their expectations?  I shared a few stories of unforgettable dining experiences (including an over-the-top dinner in Tulum Mexico a few years back) - and asked everyone to share memories of moments where they were made to feel seen, known, and special by restaurateurs who went above and beyond. While we have always been committed to serving up  great food from our kitchens, we were reminded that we need to strive to deliver nothing short of hospitality. It can start with a warm welcome that leads into engaging conversations. It can anticipate how to celebrate people’s big moments, and it is enhanced by  something I call “benevolent eavesdropping”. By actively listening to guests' comments and conversations, we can learn how to add unique and individualized experiences for our guests (Read the book - and look for the story about hot dogs). Ensuring this sense of unreasonable hospitality is one of our essential company objectives for 2024. How are you bringing hospitality to your work?

To those that attended one of the first dozen 6sensory Suppers, I need to apologize. I think I delivered a night of reasonable hospitality. What I have learned since, though, is that I should have been delivering a night of unreasonable hospitality. Will Guidara, one of the co-owners of Eleven Madison Park, ranked the #1 restaurant in the world in 2017, wrote my favorite book of the year: Unreasonable Hospitality. I highly recommend the book even if you're not in hospitality. Link to buy it in the comments.

"In restaurants, our reason for being is to make people feel seen, it's to make them feel welcome, it's to give them a sense of belonging. The food, the service, the design, they are simply ingredients in the recipe of human connection"- Will Guidara Restauranteur & Best Selling Author.Thank you Will for speaking to our team on Unreasonable Hospitality. #unreasonablehospitality #hospitality

What a great initiative! We need this in NSW, am I right? And - let’s show restaurants, cafes and bars how to make their spaces more aurally accessible and enjoyable… What makes the difference do you think? 1. Choice to sit in a covered space outside 2. Choice of smaller space inside 3. Soft furnishings… acoustic treatments 4. Less background music… 5. Good lighting (to help reading lips and faces) #acoustics #accessibility
