The quality guest service will always add something more than that. It is more than just doing a great job; you need to add that special ingredient—courtesy. Try to put out that extra effort that shows you really care for your guest. Whatever you will do for your guest that should be done pleasantly, friendly, sincerely, politely, courteously, honesty and devotedly and with a smiling attitude. These are all we should add while providing any service to our guest. Generally, people like to return to the places where they received quality service with excellent behavior.
