Airports, hotels, bars, and restaurants all present opportunities for hospitality to touch the life of a stranger. In our increasingly data-driven world, we've created systems to quantify, digitize, and calculate how to get the most out of these moments of interaction, but is data really the only way to know if we're truly being of service? Smart hoteliers and restaurateurs understand the power of personal interactions, and as the drive to digital speeds up, the ability to craft a meaningful human interaction will be a big differentiator in the market battle for guest satisfaction and retention. Using examples from over thirty years of international travel and experience in the hospitality industry, Kirsten and Paul Moxness explore key elements of creating personal experiences for guests, including: making genuine gratitude a natural and contagious habit; respecting upgrades and freebies, and handling necessary downgrades; encouraging supportive teams and empowering each employee to provide exceptional experiences; and taking a compassionate and proactive approach to safety and crisis management and resolving problems. Digital cannot replace human interaction, and hospitality is all about making memorable moments of personal experience. Spin the Bottle Service is here to show you that making the most of the touchpoints beyond digital can be as easy as a twist of the wrist.

The Kindness Games: How a Single Post Changed Our Mindset about Community

What if we ferociously pursued shout outs of kindness instead of shouting to be right? What if we chased down the people we know are hurting, so we can lift them up to the world for how beautiful and amazing they are? What if we gave a damn about each other and pledged to show it?The Kindness Games (TKG) was started as a movement amongst security professionals to shout out people in their sphere who'd influenced or helped them during their career. The founders of TKG quickly realized that any industry would benefit from a structured way to build kindness into their culture, so what began as a social media trend has quickly grown into a global movement of gratitude and compassion. In this book you'll learn how to play The Kindness Game in your own professional network and help people unite their spheres of influence, heal their communities, and change the world by leading with kindness. You'll also read inspiring stories from our original TKG players about how this simple concept of kindness impacted their professional lives.
