RESTAURANT HOSPITALITY

Restaurant hospitality and medical hospitality are not that different. In the restaurant business you are dealing with hungry people that seek that you feed and nurture them promptly with good and savory food, in good environment that meets their expectation. In medical hospitality you are working with sick people that want to feel protected, respected and be provided with the medical, spiritual and emotional support that suits them better for their health improvement. In both environments you work long hours, under stressful situations, and at the end of the day, on most of the days, you feel accomplished for the service that you provided.
