Uma estratégia que sempre uso e ter um diálogo aberto com a equipe para refletir sobre os aprendizados que podemos ter com os feedbacks. Os positivos comemoramos e fortalecemos o vínculo para que sempre hajam, já os negativos refletimos sobre os pontos sensíveis do ocorrido e quais são os aprendizados, buscando ações para melhorar e eliminar tais situações.

To address the service quality issue, it's crucial to first conduct a root cause analysis before taking any action. This will help you understand whether the quality has been compromised. Motivation alone isn't always enough; it's essential to identify the underlying problem and find a suitable solution. It's important to not only motivate the team by highlighting where the quality is lacking, but also to recognize those who have performed well. For those needing improvement, provide constructive feedback and the necessary support to help them improve. Ultimately, solving the problem at its root is key to achieving long-term improvement.

The value of feedback whether positive or negative is valuable for the team. Negative feedback does not necessarily have to be ‘negative’ for the team and the following is what I strive for when communicating negative/positive feedback: 1. Consistent and open communication with feedback from guests. I have a weekly email ‘Guest Experience’ that provides updated feedback from guests positive and negative, which I use the negative feedback as ‘Opportunities’ to improve. 2. Buy-in from the team for a customer centric team, valuing feedback. When sharing guest feedback it is always communicated in a positive manner. A guest may had an issue with service, how did this happen, what can we do to improve and motivate the team to take ownership.

Restaurant Hospitality needs to embrace and use the tools that we have available to us - mainly guest reviews - for training and development like Hotel Hospitality has perfected. We watch reviews carefully, and note any positive/negative trends. If we see a trend of a topic scoring lower for a period of time, we check the reviews for clues, see who was working, and refocus supervision on that area or celebrate successes.

One of my mentor told me long time ago, that feedback (good or bad) are opportunity to be motivated to maintain and improve the quality of service we provide to your guests/clients/patrons. It also provide us the opportunity to grow and be more competetive in service industry.

Facing Guests negative feedback on service quality- - Hospitality Industry is amongst those industries where the quality of services rendered shall be judged and rated which further makes or breaks the business. The business and the traffic are solely based on the quality of services and exceptional dining experiences rendered to the Guests. - Feedbacks or complaints highlighted by the Guests should be carefully taken into consideration.
