Maam, I whole heartedly agree with you. Fast, prompt persnalised service is definately a key to achieving guest satisfaction. Actually more than that it is the way you or the staff handles a particular guest.

The beaches of Thailand seem to be more attractive than the beaches of Goa – both for the experience and for the price. A marginal dip in domestic travel in the last few months primarily because India has become at least 30 per cent more expensive to travel than neighbouring countries like Singapore, Thailand and Malaysia. People who were travelling within India are now going abroad because India is not value for money, Five-star accommodation in India now ranges on an average between $300-$500 a night. In Singapore, Malaysia or Sri Lanka, you can get a similar room for about half the price between $150 and $200. Air tickets have also seen a 20 per cent average increase.These costs are also...

Independent restaurant operators represent the American Dream to its finest core. The individual distinction and character the independent restaurant operator brings to the American consumer, should never be outwit by the chains that daunt them. In the 1970’s the independent restaurant held a commanding 85% of the market share. During the 1980’s, chains perfected their strategies through their own survival, and mastered their ability to identify with consumer demand. Today, chains now hold 88% of the market share, leaving independents scrambling to find their voice in the industry. Traditionally, chains were not considered a major threat to independent restaurant operators because they were...

It’s sad really, but 80% - 90% of restaurant marketing budgets are spent against new trial – getting a new customer to visit for the first time. This is the least effective place to spend your money. The majority of new trial efforts are spent against mass media advertising, which is costly and has dismal return on investment. The fact is, new customer acquisition is 7-10 times more expensive than building restaurant sales through increased frequency, check average and party size. But restaurant marketing isn’t always about what’s most effective, more often, it’s about what everyone else is doing. Restaurant operators see that their competitor is on television or in the yellow pages or...

Here are a few reasons why restaurant websites fail to make an impact; Display Your Location Well: For some unknown reason, there are restaurant sites that hide their contact information. This really is lesson number one when building your website. Have your contact information in very easy places to find. Your full address, phone number and e-mail address should be on the top or bottom of every page. You should also have a special “Contact Us” page with more details including maps, directions, hours and other pertinent information. Menu: Your menu is the number one thing that customers look for at a restaurant web site. Are you taking full advantage of posting your menu online? Is it the f...
