Conferencing & Catering @ Dark Chocolate Guest House

Mon, 08 May 2017 00:00:00 +0200

These days you don't have to leave your office to attend a conference. Livestreaming, realtime, skype conferencing is the norm. While we do agree, there is a place and time for this kind of meeting. We also believe the get together of people and ideas in one disignated area (conference room) is here to stay.

WHY?

People need interaction, to catch up, get focussed, work on problem solving.

In this day and age it is healthy to get away from that computerscreen and worn out seat and move to a different environment to get thos creative juices flowing.

GOLDEN RULES OF A SUCCESFUL CONFERENCE?

1. Secure Parking

Vehicle safety should be the last thing on a conference attendee's mind.

2. Good employee training

If a guest has questions or problems, they most often will talk to the first employee they can find. What happens now, leaves a very important impression! Can the employee help them? If not, do they know an alternative way of finding the necessary information or can they find the right person for the guest to talk to?

3. Accessibility, comfort and service for all

When you are planning an event, try not to just think of the bare minimum when it comes to your guests. Think much further and try to not only leave your guests satisfied but happy!

What can make the visiting experience of your target group better? For example a quiet room for people who need a break every now and then?

4. Ample refreshments and the option of a nutritional lunch.

At Dark Chocolate Guest House we offer a variety of conferencing options tailored around the client.

What does (good) customer service mean to you?

Lundi Pretorius — Fri, 31 Jul 2015 00:00:00 +0200

After a long flight or an endless meeting, Mr. A. arrives at Dark Chocolate Guest House. He nods when he enters the guest house and smiles firmly. To Mr. A. service means checking in, a warm shower, and newspaper waiting on his bed which is turned down already. A cold one should be ready when Mr. A. is more relaxed and ready for a chat. At breakfast the next morning his host should be waiting with a warm cup of coffee and a seat reserved for him with a view.

This scenario is completely different from Mr and Mrs B enjoying a visit to Cape Town and surround. They want to sit down with their hosts, engaging in a conversation and sipping red wine while a fire is burning high.

What are we trying to say? We believe the GOLDEN RULE is knowing that each and every person is different. We as the hosts should be able to READ our clients and thereby making sure they become repeat visitors and friends.
