Service Excellence - Birthday Edition! “If I told you it was my birthday, could I have extra whipped cream please?” This was my ask a few nights ago - and our server Dylan over-delivered!!! He smiled and said “I’m sure we can do that.” When he delivered my key lime pie, he grinned and said “There’s an extra big dollop on the pie too!” The side ramekin with the decorative swirl, topped with a candle - so much more than I had expected 😀😋 Years ago, the phrase of the moment was to “delight your customers.” Delighted indeed! When your team has an opportunity to over-deliver, at little to no cost to the business (because really, how much does whipped cream cost…) are they empowered to do it, without hesitation? And not just for external customers - their internal customers too? If this were your restaurant, and Dylan worked for you, how do you think he would have responded to my request? If you are anywhere near Bristol PA, check out Jules@market - amazing seafood, superior service, and the best key lime pie anywhere! #customerservice #exceedexpectations #empowerment #leadership #coaching #excellence #executivelift
