You have service standards.
You've implemented the SOPs.
You invested in training.
And Yet These Happens On The Floor...
  • Poor communication
    Mr. Smith's luggage for room #105 ends up in room #501.
  • Unresolved complaints
    Amanda at the Front Desk freezes while guests raise their voices about a shower that still hasn't been fixed.
  • Attitude issues
    Daniel in a signature restaurant, is carrying four plates while your regulars ask for the bill. He replies "I only have two hands".
Small moments that happen daily
But get unnoticed.
you see it's impact in reviews like this
not what we'd expect from a five-star hotel
Guest in 5-star boutique hotel
the staff seemed rude
Guest of an Independent Resort
we won't be back, not worth it
Guest of a High-End Restaurant
And later it shows in your PNL reports too
It impacts reputation, it affects revenue, it frustrates.
You discuss this in meetings, you push the team, but service improves for a while then slips back again.
It's not attitude, it's not turnover

A lot of leaders link inconsistent service to staff members' motivation or attitude issues, or even a high turnover. But in reality It's Not.

More often it links to these three things:
  • Lack of working system
    Training is inconsistent, methods are outdated or do not fit the operational needs. It's done for compliance but brings no outcomes.
    01
  • Lack of clarity
    in SOPs, training message and performance expectations. It doesn't help staff to perform better. It confuses more than helps.
    02
  • Unprepared floor managers
    Who get promoted because they are great performers, but they lack skills in training, coaching and guiding the team.
    03
When basic service behaviours are expected to be innate, your teams perform based on assumptions

Lack of clarity leads to five different people delivering your standards in five different ways. Service becomes unpredictable. Your floor managers keep fixing same issues because they lack the skills to train, guide, give feedback and coach on the spot.

Your team has questions

Even experienced people, those from big brands, have questions and don't automatically bring the right service behaviours to the floor. But line managers or even supervisors often cannot answer it with clarity.

Those Questions Are

  • What do I do/say if ... ?

  • How do I do/say it?
  • Why do I do/say it this way?

Marina la Grange
Founder at Devout Hospitality
I’ve spent 17 years inside upscale and luxury hotels. I’ve stood behind the front desk. I’ve managed Front Office and Food & Beverage teams. I’ve led Training and Quality. And I saw the same service issues repeating in different properties. Training was there, but either was taken as a burden, or a compliance activity with little outcome. And I understand why.

  • Operations are busy
  • Managers are overloaded, yet expected to train and coach
  • Often without effective pre-made tools to align performance.

So I've built it.

Plain Philosophy Doesn't Work For Operational Training
87% of learning content gets forgotten within 24 hours when it's too vague, too disconnected from daily reality, lacks reinforcement.

Regardless of the format: workshops, e-learning, classroom sessions.

It tells your team service must be exceptional, and they get it. What they don't get is how to translate that into actual daily behaviours.
Training for Impact, not for compliance
I believe that hospitality training should be easy to implement, even during busy times and high occupancy. It should add clarity, not confuse teams with plain theory. It must be practical, otherwise what's the point?

And most importantly, every training should lead to visible results: higher guest satisfaction scores and increased revenue. Our products and services are designed to achieve that.
