Who knows the rule of 95/5. Spend 95% of your effort and budget running the operation perfectly, and reserve 5% for creating unforgettable guest experiences.
That 5% is used for unexpected moments that guests will remember and talk about:
* A surprise dessert for an anniversary.
* A personalized welcome gift.
* A special dish created around a guest’s story.
* An unexpected upgrade.
The principle is that guests remember how you made them feel, not just that the food arrived on time. Small, thoughtful gestures can create disproportionate loyalty and word-of-mouth.
