Guest satisfaction is directly related to positive interaction with your employees. Sales are directly related to the satisfaction a Guest has from the Guest experience. Period.

In today’s competitive market your advantage comes from your Guest’s belief that your employees want to meet and exceed their expectations. Providing world-class service is the key to increasing your profits.

Create service heroes of your employees. Only then will you have a workforce that anticipates the needs, wants and emotions of your Guests.

We can help you….

• Bring “personality” to your organization by establishing a service theme and standards
• Design a delivery system that focuses on the employees, environment and processes that enhance quality service

FOHCUS™ is the Summers Hospitality Group ultimate service coaching program that helps operators train and coach all front-of-the-house staff and managers on how to best engage with guests in order to build and deliver a better guest experience.

The FOHCUS™ program is based on our highly differentiating service attitudes:

• Guests demand a more personal and engaging relationship with your brand.
• Guests want to be treated as more than a transaction.
• They want their loyalty respected and rewarded appropriately.
• The service basics are no longer enough to satisfy the demands of today’s guests.
• Commodity service detracts from your ability to create and sustain both guest loyalty and a successful food service brand.
• Hospitality can be the deciding point of differentiation for your brand in every market.
• The only competition you really have is the quality of the last experience you gave each guest.
• You cannot deliver a greater level of hospitality than your staff & managers have ever experienced.

To this end, we have created a very specific and unique program that builds on your individual businesses talent, energy and passion for delivering the ultimate guest experience.This is not a templated or cookie-cutter program. FOHCUS™ is created based on your individual operation’s strengths, weaknesses as well as your unique guest and market demands.
