There’s a dramatic difference between these two – vital minutes in a highly competitive event. I’m wondering how this compares to kitchen and restaurant productivity? What’s lost and gained in the much faster 2019 process? Safety should not be compromised, given that everything is calibrated and practised many times.

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.
