Increase Order ExactitudeIncrease Order Exactitude
Old Way:
1. Not every S.E. agent know
exactly all items in our in-
room-menu, how it made?
What condiments go with?
Vegetarian food or not?
2. Nobody responsible to guest
orders if make mistake
3. S.E. didn’t know if kitchen
now in rush or not, cannot
suggest guest order faster-
preparing dishes
New Way:
1. R/S know better all menu
items, how it prepare, and what
condiments go with, can
vegetarian take it or not.
2. R/S always responsible to all
guest orders
3. R/S know better if kitchen
busy or not, easily suggest
guest ordering fast-preparing
food
27. Brain Storming -- All Guest OrdersBrain Storming -- All Guest Orders
are Supervised by S.E.and F&Bare Supervised by S.E.and F&B
OfficeOffice
• Old Supervisal System
• - without CARE
• 1. S.E. have to waiting till R/S
call them and tell if guest order
delivered or not
• 2. S.E. always find out in last
minute if guest order will be
delayed, no matter by wrong
preparation or just rush hour in
the kitchen
New Supervisal System
- with CARE
1. After 30 minute since S.E. get
the order print-out from R/S, S.E.
will call to guest room
automatically (No matter R/S call
pay or Not) to see if their order
arrived and ask is there any
comment from the guest
2. If order didn’t arrived yet, S.E.
will inform F&B manager
immediately, and F&B manager
will solve this problem A.S.A.P.

29. If really considering reduce unnecessary procedure about
guest order-delivery, re-structure whole S.E./R.S/Kitchen
communication system is the most efficient way to reach
the Goal of Starwood Standard Delivery Time Standard,
even better.
Also if we really want to follow Starwood“Care the Guest”
policy, call every guest after they order will makes guest
feel “We Care about them” more, and also can solve
problems more fast– via our suggested New Room Service
