Disability Focused Hotel CRM

A potential problem that was extensively talked about during management meetings, was the potential for the lifts in the pool malfunctions and guest cannot be taken in or out of the pool as need. As well as what protocols to take if there are multiple casualties.

Potential Solutions and safeguards

In the event that a lift is broken lifeguards have been sent to training with how to extract guest from the water safely and quickly. The hotel maintenance will immediately be notified that an issue has occurred and needs to be addressed.

The pool was specifically designed with a ramp that leads into the pool so that either hotel guess or staff can easily access the water. But was also designed to make extraction of injured guess faster and safe than slide over the edge of the pool.

Other safeguards.

  • hotels private EMS are on standby
  • The pool area is always monitored by two lifeguards at all times of service hours
  • lifeguards tested every month on how to extract different injured guest ranging from broken limbs, seizure victim, drowning, etc.
  • Lifeguards are both red cross and city certified.
  • lifeguards are sent to advanced training every 4 months to maintain first responder license.

  • In an emergency situation with multiple casualties, the pool has an emergency train system that safely and quickly drains the pool.
  • All staff is trained in CPR and first aid.

 

 

 

Cream cauliflower Puree with caramelized brown sugar bacon

A homey pureed soup that is smooth and rich with savory and sweet thick cut bacon to addition warm flavor.  Dish created by Terrence “Teddi” Sutton.
Potato purée with lobster gravy. It is not the highest use of lobster, but it may be the highest use of gravy. Dish from The Loyal.

 

This dish is a fall and winter seasonal dish that is supposed to have a warm and welcoming vibe that invites those to sit and feel at home. The sweet bacon cuts through the rich creamy texture and flavor of the soup to ad a bit of smoke and sweetness.

This is a seasonal dish that would fit right into the menu at The Loyal, which Pete wells boast has a bit of something for everyone.

The Loyal is a restaurant located at 289 Bleecker Street, in the Greenwich village of Manhattan. the restaurant is run by Chef John Fraser, who also own two other restaurant that are Michelin stared.

Service element: The Soup is served in a black slate bowl that has no set shape. It is meant to make the white of the soup pop while also giving the brown glaze of the bacon a chance to shine as well. The bowl is smooth, delicate but also sturdy like the hands of a grandmother that would have made it.

Service scape element: The Loyal is said to be a place that is run formally but has the vibe and atmosphere of a 1950 club. a soup of this type can be served without meat in a fine dining restaurant as an appetizer  to warm guest coming in from the cold. But a club of the 1950s would be daring enough to serve bacon as a non breakfast item.
