Master Wine Service with HTA 75?

Proper wine service can give a restaurant a positive reputation and can ensure a happy clientele. Using word-of-mouth, guests will recommend places to their friends and family, resulting in a positive outcome for the restaurant.?

At HTA 75, we pride ourselves in providing training to hospitality workers that will either introduce new skills or improve the skills that they already have. Our Wine Workshops allow participants to gain knowledge on how to serve wine in a dining setting. They will gain insight into wine and food pairings, how to make wine recommendations, and the basics of wine science.?

Skill-Based Hiring and its Benefits?

In the current labour market, an emerging trend is skills-based hiring. This form of hiring prioritizes the candidate’s skill set and practical working knowledge over other factors. ?

Check out our five advantages below.?

1. Build a Stronger Team: Skills-based hiring leads to a team with complementary abilities, fostering a collaborative and supportive work environment. Employees feel valued as they can leverage each other’s strengths, enhancing both individual and collective performance and productivity.?
2. Enhance Service Quality: In the hospitality industry, exceptional service is non-negotiable. Skills-based hiring ensures staff have the practical expertise and interpersonal abilities to adapt seamlessly to various situations, consistently meeting — and often exceeding — guest expectations.?
3. Accelerate Onboarding: By focusing on candidates who already possess key skills, you reduce the need for extensive training. This results in quicker onboarding, allowing employees to contribute effectively from day one, saving both time and resources.?
4. Foster Innovation: A team selected for their diverse skills and problem-solving abilities will naturally bring different perspectives to the table. This environment encourages innovative thinking, driving improvements not only in customer service but across all facets of the business.?
5. Boost Employee Retention: When employees are hired based on their strengths, they feel more confident and engaged in their roles. This leads to higher job satisfaction, which in turn reduces turnover, creating a more stable and committed workforce.?
