Can you learn from the former owner of the #1 restaurant in the world? Watch the video, ask yourself, how do i make people feel, are you present? "People always remember how you made them feel" DM me for more. https://lnkd.in/e4ruW3fb

Restaurateur Will Guidara's life changed when he decided to serve a two-dollar hot dog in his fancy four-star restaurant, creating a personalized experience for some out-of-town customers craving authentic New York City street food. The move earned such a positive reaction that Guidara began pursuing this kind of "unreasonable hospitality" full-time, seeking out ways to create extraordinary experiences and give people more than they could ever possibly expect. In this funny and heartwarming talk, he shares three steps to crafting truly memorable moments centered in human connection – no matter what business you're in.

When you work in Business Travel, meetings tend to look a little different 😉 (though drvn HQ does have a gorgeous conference room that I rather enjoy!) When I met the wonderful Lauren Parker for lunch, I had no idea that we were at the opening of #Flecha, Mark Wahlberg's newest restaurant in #Vegas. I knew my company would be great, but I had no idea that Cristhian Salazar would be the Master Chef in the kitchen, preparing some incredible off-menu surprises for us! ✅ Building Connections ✅ Growing Business ✅ Gaining Experiences Never stop growing, learning and creating relationships. #businesstravel #lasvegas #travel

I have always believed, to the core of my being, that being unreasonble for the right reasons, especially in the hospitality industry is being inclusive. It is having the remarkable power to give our customers, regardless of status (VIP/ VVIP), nationality, cultural background, or ethnicity, an experience that is more than what they expect. In the words of Will Guidara, renowned American restaurateur and author of Unreasonable Hospitality, "The secret to hospitality is being present and taking what you do seriously without taking yourself too seriously." --- this I believe must be the core of every hospitality professional. #unreasonablehospitality #hospitality #culture #leadership
