The Bar is So Low - The Realities of Memorable Service | Alex Cabañas | TEDxWilmingtonSalon
In the hospitality industry, the service bar is too low. One thing we can do about it is to serve guests proactively. Manage the little things the guest has no time for. Take care of the bathroom. Have them say “My Pleasure” not “No Problem.” We can raise the bar with intentionality and by thinking ahead.
Alex Cabañas is CEO of BENCHMARK, A Global Hospitality Company.

His life mission since college has been to create opportunities for others to be successful. As CEO, Alex is focused on strategic planning, people development, pursuing growth and new opportunities, promoting the delivery of memorable customer service and ultimately being the most experiential third-party hospitality management company in the industry.
