New Video!!Have you had the experience of being a guest somewhere? At a friend's place, at your parents' home, at a hotel? Well, I suspect we all have been a guest in at least one of these spaces and perhaps each of them. Now, are you a "fresh guest"?! I have stayed at many places over several years, but I have been consciously-aware of my "guest-ness" so much more in the past several years. You know even renting a home makes us guests to the landlord. Back to the "fresh guest" idea. Many know about feeling like a cherished guest and many know about feeling like a burden to another. This video is to help both guests and hosts to exude the freshness of a welcoming experience. Take a look to see if you are "fresh" - and yes, this means more than a sniff-test of armpits and quick breath freshening!! I hope you might learn something to share as a guest and as a host too. Even the hospitality industry can use a "refresher" in this learning. Remember that we are all honoured guests to this Earth - how can we learn from its Wisdom? Let us be mindfully-attentive to what she shares with us and learn by her strong example. https://lnkd.in/g9Ca6MSK

Quick chat with... Restaurant Waiter I Wayan Suardiasa! Q: What do you think makes you unique as a team member? A: Many guests say I am unique because of my smile and open conversation. This comes because I enjoy my job and enjoying to make our guests smiling. Q: What's your favorite memory from working at the company? A: My favorite memory was when I joined the sip and start cruise on Antarctica. That was unforgettable scenery. Q: Describe a time when you went above and beyond to help a colleague. A: That was in 2016, during rough sea sailing from Antarctica. Most of teammates got seasick and couldn't work. Myself an the rest of the team (half of us left) did extra effort to deliver restaurant service properly. It was challenging to walk and to hold dishes. We manage to satisfy all guests; it was longer than usual, but we managed. I am proud of it especially as I was not very experienced at that time. Q: What would you like to learn or improve upon in the future? A: I am willing to learn more. At this moment I am focused to get good knowledge of cocktails preparation so I can be able to cover "bartender's" position individually. Q: Do you follow any sports teams? Which ones? A: Regarding sport, I am following and my favorite time now is Indonesian football team.

#Appreciation Giving a waiter a tip is a common and widely accepted way to show appreciation for the service provided. It serves as a direct acknowledgment of their effort, attentiveness, and professionalism. In many countries, tipping is not only customary but also an important part of a waiter's income. It can incentivize good service and provide immediate feedback to the server. However, the practice and expectations around tipping can vary significantly by country and culture. In some places, tipping is mandatory and factored into the service model, while in others, it might be seen as optional or even unusual. Overall, tipping can be a positive gesture when done appropriately and in line with local customs, reflecting gratitude for a job well done. Have a blessed day good people. Appreciation
