Groot Hospitality’s Post

Last night, I stumbled across probably one of the most inspiring of videos on my journey to learn about the craft of serving sushi. I loved what Master Sushi Chef Keiji Nakazawa teaches about his business philosophy, which makes a lot of sense to me (timestamp: 2:48): https://lnkd.in/gjAuGpYh 1) Heart - "Shin" The foundational lesson of his business is love, love for the customer, to greet the customer with such. One could have all the skills in the world, but without heart, you cannot interact well with customers. 2) Technique - "Gi" - Learning the craft of sushi 3) Atmosphere - "Ku" - The skill to create and build atmosphere & space. The first thing newcomers learn is to greet and clean. He says that if you master these two basic things, you have already passed half of your sushi training. The next step is to learn to use the knife and to make (& enjoy) meals. To learn how to prepare vegetables. Then to learn to cut fish and scrape the scales. They will cook the staff meal in the afternoon. At night/dinner time, they will wait in the waiting hall as a waiter, to learn how to interact with customers. Then they will pick up reservation calls, remember their names, and greet them with gratitude. They must be able to master this before they can reach the next stage. Both heart and skill must be developed at the same time. This is so simple and makes sense to me. I will forever remember his teaching, and I hope I never forget it. ❤️ I also love how he uses local ingredients as well as other ingredients sourced from geographically diverse sources, and how he is constantly seeking process improvement from such a stable foundation while honoring tradition. One day, I hope to learn how to make the tamagoyaki (egg omelette) for my Thank You Café. I have heard that it is used as a benchmark for what a true sushi restaurant is. --- Lastly, I would like to credit and thank Mr. Habibi, my high school World History teacher, for teaching me about ethnocentrism using an anthropological teaching article on the "Nacirema." I believe I learned about falafels first from him. #sushi #master #business #philosophy

😋Samosa Chaat! 👀I learnt these lessons from a nearby samosa Chaat shop. I compared it with one of the nearby restaurants. People choose to eat sweets, samosa, and chaat from this shop over that restaurant as it offers quality and satisfying service. They believe and are confident in their service. Though they do not have a shiny restaurant but offer better service. Conclusion? Quality >>> Appearance PS: I know it is better to invest in the appearance too. The impression is the game changer.🚀 PPS: This is one of the shops dhoni used to have Samosa!👀(I am not lying). #Linkedln #contentwriting #personalbranding
