"Make your vocation your vacation."
This is often the dream of many hospitality professionals. Whether you rise before dawn with a passion for creating the perfect batch of your signature croissants, spend the morning developing a new dish for the evening's menu or find yourself catching up that evening with one of your favorite returning customers, the goal is the same, to remain passionate throughout your day.
Hospitality is an industry that thrives best when all those involved enjoy their work, no matter what the role. It is a challenge to achieve a repetitively steady positive environment day to day and night after night. Food and beverage management is a fluid atmosphere where the only known fixed constant is that every day will be different from the last.
Personally, this is the very truth that makes working in hospitality continually fascinating yet I have recognized that so many details have become burdensome for operators.
After all, there are only so many hours in a day?
How many hours can you devote to the growing demands of the industry? The challenges that come with staffing, training your staff, keeping up with your competition and staying ahead of the overhead to meet or exceed your goals?
I have served as a General Manager for fine dining restaurants, opening and re-launching family owned operations and helping to aid private clubs and multi-location hospitality operations. In doing so I have developed relationships with many industry professionals. With a network of resort and general managers, current and semi-retired chefs, food and beverage managers and other service professionals you will have access to an experienced LOCAL brain-trust dedicated to leading your endeavor to surpassing your goals as well as providing you with the edge that you may not have the time to recognize on your own.
At Cape & Islands Hospitality Consulting we are able to help management find the best ways to develop and foster a positive workplace. Through a fresh set of eyes we offer independent insight to your operations.
Whether you are operating a small family-owned restaurant and you are looking to find lost revenue and re-invigorate your seasoned staff or you are managing a country club and are looking for some insight in upgrading your POS systems, we offer you the opportunity to have some outside perspective.
The hospitality industry is often a fast paced workplace, and we would like to help you maximize your business in ways you may not have had the time to think about. Let us help your operation make your vocations more like vacations.
