Hospitality goes further than just making drinks and taking orders. As Will Guidara says, “Service is black and white, hospitality is colour.” People come back for how they feel — for warmth, timing, and connection. When the food’s good and the drinks are sharp, guests remember the experience. It’s about creating a culture that goes beyond hi and goodbye, finding small moments that make people feel seen
