Personality Test

As the result of the test, I'm in the type of INFJ-The Protector. I think it was successful predicting my personal. I'm a kind of artistic and creative person, and also sensitive sometimes. I usually care and concern about people feelings. I don't like hurting anyone by words or actions, so I try to be gentle and avoid those situations. Flexible and open-mind are also described me. For me, it's true that people in this type cannot tolerate to the conflict and would get the health problem when under a lot of stress. I'm very sensitive and always get headache when I'm stressful. However, it seemed the same as my expectations before taking this test. I think this test is quite useful to predict your personality. If you figure out which type you are in, you will correct yourself or improve it to the right way! :)

Film Review...The Savages

This film is a drama story of a broken family. Wendy, who is played by Laura Liney, is a sister of Jon Savage, who is played by Philip Seymaer Hoffman. They have an elder father, his name is Lenney, who is played by Philip Bosco. They are in different places. Wendy is in New York, Jon is in Buffalo and their father lives in Sun City with his girlfriend. When his girlfriend passed away, they visited their father and they have to take him back with them because he started losing memorial. They found the nursing home in Buffalo and send him there. They had been taking care and handling him until his last day.

Overall, I liked this movie. It's a very nice one which represents how the American families are. Moreover, it's the true that everyone has to face a death. For example, I like the shot at the restaurant that they were trying to ask an elderly father about how to handle his body when he dead. It was very touched! For the weakness, I didn't like that they worried too much about their childhood, it affected their life and scared to marriage.  It had several points to make me so emotional, by the way.

I really identified with Wendy. Even she has never been successful in her playwright but she never gives up. She is a strong woman and believe in her love with an unattainable married man for 13 years. 

I think this movie shows how American families are. For example, staying in difference places or moving elder people in the nursing home. Wendy lives in New York, Jon in Buffalo, and their father in Sun City. It seemed they didn't have a happy family since they were young children. Furthermore, American people would like to move their parents in a nursing home more than letting them stay home. It might be the cause of they don't have much time to take care of them in dailies. So, it better moves them to the place where provides for them.

How to manage the customer satisfaction in restaurants

Hello world! and welcome to my summary about 'How to manage the customer satisfaction in restaurants'. I had some experiences in waitstaff when I had been a trainee in a luxury restaurant. At that time, I had to do a little bit research about the customer satisfaction. Therefore, I would like to share my opinion plus experience to anyone who interests in this kind of customers dealings. Service quality is a comparison between customer's expectations for a service offering and the customer's perceptions of the service received. If customers get lower service than customer’s expect, customers will feel this service is non-standardization. However, if customers get higher service than their expect, so customers will feel that they get the high quality service. For example in restaurants, customers don't just expect to have good food, but also services. Therefore, customer service is the important key for a close working relationship with clients. There are 5 steps to follow in making your clients feel valued and loved.
Greeting is the first interaction with customers when they come in the restaurant. When you meet them, don't scary, be calm and be confident taking time to ask what they need, and try to make a first impression.

Second, respond to orders promptly is the product knowledge test sometimes. Because customers probably ask you about ingredients or how to cook. So you should prepare yourself to advise them while taking orders.

Next, you should be friendly and approachable to the customers. When you serve them foods, try to behave courteous and polite . To make your clients feel like they are your friends, and you are always ready to help them.

Then, you should attend to customer details. Providing the special occasion to the customer whose is birthday, and also making customers feel welcomed and valued.

Last is to honor your promises to the customers. Clients don't like to be disappointed. Therefore, you should keep on standard to reach their satisfaction, and willing to welcome them back to restaurant in the future.

Therefore, making a great impression when customers come in the restaurant till they left, is the vital importance for waitstaff duties. If they satisfy your restaurant, they will definitely come back again. I do hope that, those above steps would be helpful to manage the customer satisfaction in restaurants.

That's all we have time for today. I hope you've enjoyed my podcast, and join me next time for another episode.
