Serving Up Excellence is the perfect mix of education and inspiration for people in pursuit of exceptional hospitality.
In the follow-up to his well-received Counter Culture: An Essential Guide for Service, Joshua Farrell helps restaurant professionals level up their service game at sit-down establishments, from casual eateries to three-star Michelin restaurants. Farrell expertly weaves together his personal essays on service, advice from top hospitality professionals, and step-by-step guides. The result is hundreds of actionable take-aways on how to maximize sales, deepen guest relationships, and effectively manage teams using the power of connection. Serving Up Excellence deserves a place in the cramped back office of every restaurant in the world.
