Last week, we had the privilege of honoring culinary legend Jacques Pépin with an intimate five-course dinner in Gramercy Tavern's Dining Room. The event was hosted by our very own Executive Chef Mike Anthony and Founder & Executive Chairman Danny Meyer, kicking off a series of ninety guest chef events to support The Jacques Pépin Foundation, which is committed to transforming lives through culinary education.

Couldn't have summed it up better :) Thanks Alex Faherty!
I can’t recommend this book enough Setting the Table by Danny Meyer No matter what industry you are in his philosophy of Enlightened Hospitality is pure gold Here are some takeaways: 1. Prioritize Hospitality - **Recommendation**: Focus on making guests feel valued and cared for. - **Example**: At Union Square Cafe, Meyer trained his staff to remember regular customers' names and preferences. For instance, if a customer always orders a specific wine, the staff would ensure it's available for their next visit, creating a personalized experience. 2. Constant Gentle Pressure: - **Recommendation**: Continuously apply gentle pressure to improve and innovate. - **Example**: At Gramercy Tavern, Meyer implemented a system where staff could suggest small changes during daily pre-service meetings. This led to continuous improvements in service and menu items, such as refining the presentation of a dish based on customer feedback. 3. Mistake Handling: - **Recommendation**: Acknowledge errors quickly, sincerely apologize, and overcompensate to turn a negative experience into a positive one. - **Example**: When a diner at The Modern received an overcooked steak, the staff not only replaced the steak promptly but also offered a complimentary dessert and a glass of wine. This approach turned a potentially negative experience into a memorable, positive one, ensuring the customer left happy. 4. Employee Empowerment: - **Recommendation**: Empower employees to make decisions that benefit the guest experience. - **Example**: At Shake Shack, employees are encouraged to give complimentary items if they feel it will enhance the customer experience. For instance, if a customer looks undecided or is having a difficult day, an employee might offer a free ice cream cone to brighten their visit. 5. Community and Culture: - **Recommendation**: Invest in the team's growth and well-being to create a positive atmosphere. - **Example**: Meyer introduced an employee recognition program at Union Square Hospitality Group where staff members could nominate each other for going above and beyond. Winners received rewards such as extra paid time off or gift certificates, fostering a supportive and motivated team environment. https://lnkd.in/expx6cug

Gramercy Tavern and Union Square Cafe are honored to participate in tonight's 3rd Annual Anne Saxelby Legacy Fund Benefit. Anne Saxelby was a pioneer in championing fine American cheeses and dedicated her life to celebrating and advocating for farms and small producers during a time when cheese enthusiasts primarily turned to Europe for artisanal products. Anne passed away in October 2021, but her legacy and influence continue through the Anne Saxelby Legacy Fund, which offers month-long paid apprenticeships for young adults to live and work on sustainable farms, where they can learn, grow, and be inspired to drive community change. You can learn more and support the fund at the link below: https://lnkd.in/efjUBP7G "Her passion for celebrating American farmstead cheese influenced a generation of cheese makers, chefs, cheese enthusiasts, and friends, and changed the way we engage with American foods,” - Mike Anthony, Executive Chef at Gramercy Tavern
