KINDNESS, PATIENCE & RESPECT: THE SECRET TO HOSPITALITY SUCCESS
Gallagher’s Steakhouse is a 90 years plus institution for steak lovers in NYC; highly recommended if you've not been.
A recent visit sitting at the bar provided the opportunity to spend time with career bartender Stuart, picture above.
Whilst only at Gallagher’s 2 years the topic of suggestions for long term success in hospitality came up.
Stuart offered 3 pieces of advise gleaned from a lifetime of dealing with guests, colleagues and daresay friends and family too:
KINDNESS, PATIENCE AND RESPECT.
