ThinkWorx™ Training is educational and training programs for leaders and staff at all levels – that offers deeper and expanded opportunities to grow participants understanding and awareness of what it takes to build Hospitality business success.


If you want to deliver modern learning experiences to your employees, then you must develop high-impact content.

Content is more important than anything else, including which modern platform and technology you use. While those choices matter, even the most advanced learning platform is only a tool if it doesn’t serve up content that’s unique to your organization.

Why? Because off-the-shelf learning lacks the content qualities that drive employee engagement, retention, and performance. Those results only come from engaging, flexible, and customized content – and that’s what I create.

How Often Do You Train?


So, how often should you train? Well, considering top athletes train almost every day between games and in the off-season, business shouldn’t be any different. Unfortunately, the reality is that employees rarely have the opportunity to participate in more than one training session a year.

Much of a manager’s training can be done in department meetings. Hold weekly team meetings and conduct hour-long training sessions once or twice a month. This way there is consistent month-in and month-out effort to help employees learn and grow. Topics can relate to company products, company procedures, technology or interpersonal skills like teamwork or customer service. Beyond this do a few 1-2 events during the year. You will catapult your team’s energy and results on the job.

One of the keys to inspiring employee action is ongoing development and growth. Managers that become effective trainers can help their employees achieve self-motivation and self-direction. This leads to improved performance. Various studies by the American Society for Training and Development suggest that companies with more consistent training outperform others by over 20%. This is reason enough to train your team consistently.

Sometimes, the easiest and most cost-effective way to help a group or team gain a fresh perspective, upgrade its overall operational or business capabilities (or just add value to a meeting, retreat, conference or corporate event) is by organizing a workshop. Workshops give attendees the opportunity to learn in a professional but informal setting where they can feel free to ask questions, benefit from each other’s experiences and insights, and learn new skills at an accelerated pace. The most important thing about putting on a great workshop though is making sure that the person conducting it is eminently knowledgeable in the subjects he or she is expected to cover.

FOHCUS™  is the Summers Hospitality Group® ultimate service coaching program that helps operators train and coach all front-of-the-house staff and managers on how to best engage with guests in order to build and deliver the best guest experience.

Guest satisfaction is directly related to positive interaction with your employees. Sales are directly related to the satisfaction a Guest has from the Guest experience. Period.

In today’s competitive market your advantage comes from your Guest’s belief that your employees want to meet and exceed their expectations. Providing world-class service is the key to increasing your profits.

Create service heroes of your employees. Only then will you have a workforce that anticipates the needs, wants and emotions of your Guests.

We can help you….

  • Anticipate your Guests needs and wants in order to exceed their expectations.
  • Bring “personality” to your organization by establishing a service theme and standards
  • Design a delivery system that focuses on the employees, environment and processes that enhance quality service
  • Create a service plan that integrates service standards and delivery systems that promotes world-class guest experiences and builds long-term, loyal guests.

The FOHCUS™ TRAINING program is based on our highly differentiating service attitudes:

  • Guests demand a more personal and engaging relationship with your brand.
  • Guests want to be treated as more than a transaction.
  • They want their loyalty respected and rewarded appropriately.
  • The service basics are no longer enough to satisfy the demands of today’s guests.
  • Commodity service detracts from your ability to create and sustain both guest loyalty and a successful food service brand.
  • Hospitality can be the deciding point of differentiation for your brand in every market.
  • The only competition you really have is the quality of the last experience you gave each guest.
  • You cannot deliver a greater level of hospitality than your staff & managers have ever experienced.

To this end, we have created a very specific and unique program that builds on your individual businesses talent, energy and passion for delivering the ultimate guest experience.This is not a templated or cookie-cutter program. FOHCUS™ TRAINING is created based on your individual operation’s strengths, weaknesses as well as your unique guest and market demands.
