I encourage my team to go into work each day with that perspective at the forefront of their minds and to ensure that each guest's time with us is unique and memorable. This means staying current with industry trends; it means believing that an incredible culinary experience is a vital aspect of the guest journey; it means trusting and encouraging out-of-the-box thinking and innovation. Finally, it means acknowledging the valuable lessons that can be taken from those outside of the hospitality industry."
