(e.g., guest greetings, room presentation, service recovery, cultural awareness); π Is this for onboarding, skills improvement, or brand standard rollout?; π Do you already have existing SOPs or brand guidelines I should align with?; β±οΈ How long should the module be? (e.g., 30 mins, 1 hour, half-day, ongoing series); π― What should staff be able to do differently after completing this training?
