The Challenge

The property’s fine dining restaurant, La Mar featuring Peruvian cuisine, opened without full infrastructure or a full management team, which caused service levels to be less than guest’s expectations.

The Goal

Assure Mandarin Oriental makes it top priority, and has the infrastructure in place, to ensure guests receive the 5 star luxury experience they expect.

Coach Mark’s Play Calls

In order to meet its service goal, I identified three points to focus on:

The need for floor support and food and beverage leadership during three meal periods

Implementation of procedures not already in place

A coach up method for the current management team

The Results

In the midst of management transitions, we were able to put the right team in place, with the right training and processes that led to stabilization and increases in service levels, as well as overall growth for the restaurant.
