Quality Assurance Surveys

 

Testing all products and services against your company’s standards – If no standards have been established, we’ll assist you with minimum operating standards for each department (there’s no charge for that). The survey starts with the operative making his/her own reservations and providing the client with a detailed report about the reservations agent’s telephone skills, selling versus order taking, etc.

The property’s services are reviewed right from the start. The arrival, the check-in and the rooming. We do inventories of the room itself, the bathroom amenities, and the contents of in-room guest information folders (we also ensure that materials are not outdated).

During the stay we test all services available (unless instructed otherwise) – our reports usually cover approximately 1,200 standards for a full service hotel or resort. We call housekeeping with usual and unusual requests to see the response. We test the resort operators, wake-up service, concierges and maintenance. If specified, we contact the property’s sales and catering department to get information regarding group bookings. At some properties we even tested the security by attempting to walk into the back-of-the-house and enter the employee café.

Food and Beverage is reviewed objectively and realistically, by meal period, by restaurant. Each report shows the arrival time, time of order, time of delivery of the food, appearance of the server, bus person, bartender, etc., and a brief description of food presentation, portion size (if applicable) and any possible deviation from the menu description. If employees wear nametags, names of employees are mentioned in the report for future reference.
