Sequence of Service
An Avant Hospitality Service Advisors trainer works with managers and supervisors to design a Sequence of Service for designated positions, using custom Standards of Performance. We assist managers and supervisors in the preparing of session plans to train the staff in a designated sequence. Through hands-on training sessions, employees learn the knowledge and skills required to serve guests in their department.
