This needs to happen despite the possibility that they will leave them to work with someone else, but quite possibly return to them in the future in a more senior role. For the people, it&#8217;s about being committed to spending at least 18 months in a role developing the skills and experience needed to be ready to take the next step forward in their career when the correct position is available.<\/p>[\/et_pb_slide][et_pb_slide heading=&#8221;We believe that Hospitality is all about exceeding guests\u2019 expectations&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.7.7&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; background_enable_color=&#8221;off&#8221; sticky_transition=&#8221;on&#8221;]<p>We know that success in hospitality is inseparably tied to turning your random customers into brand ambassadors. Just meeting customer expectations is not enough; you need to be able to exceed their expectations and leave them with a burning desire to come back repeatedly with friends and family. The first step in this direction is to understand what guests <em>really want<\/em> &#8211; i.e. both their stated and unstated needs.

He launched B\u0113 in 2016 with the vision to transform the hospitality industry in Ireland and abroad.\n\nJohn believes that people are the key to transforming the hospitality industry. Together, we have the ability and responsibility to build a stronger, fairer and more socially and economically sustainable industry &#8211; one that values the importance  of not only training and developing the workforce but truly delivering exceptional and uniquely tailored experiences for guests.\n\nBy working closely with organizations in the industry and gaining in-depth knowledge of both their property and operational styles, John focuses on providing tailored solutions to either reduce their operating costs or introduce solutions to develop and grow their business with them.\n\nOne of his biggest passions is working with the professionals in the industry to achieve their long-term career goals one step at a time. By introducing the youth of today to the benefits of a career in hospitality through b\u0113, they not only get access to professional training but a lifetime experience in the hospitality industry.<\/div><div class=\"su-expand-link su-expand-link-more\" style=\"text-align:left\"><a href=\"javascript:;\" style=\"color:#0088FF;border-color:#0088FF\"><span
