Another training gem from Nancy Friedman, the Telephone Doctor. Instead of the server saying ‘sorry, we’ve sold out of calamari/Venison/chocolate mousse or Saturday night tables, get them to take a moment more and say ‘let me double check’ Maybe there are no more, or maybe there is just one extra – either way it softens the No and shows they’re on the customer’s side.

For all of those who enjoy Chinese teas: Houston we have a problem! With the latest round of tariffs set to go into effect in June, tea from China will be affected. Up until now, Chinese tea escaped the latest trade disputes; but no longer. What the ultimate cost will be to the consumer will be anybody’s guess. We are monitoring the situation closely, but if it is the full 25%, one would be hard pressed to think that these costs will be not passed directly on to the consumer in some way.
