Consistency for Your Customers — How to Heighten Hospitality Across Your Golf Operation

Ryan Magnon | Senior Operations Executive | Chick-fil-A Inc.
If you’ve ever stepped into any Chick-fil-A across the country, you know first-hand that the level of service and hospitality you’re treated to (from a labor pool of mostly teenagers and young adults!) is beyond what anyone would expect for a fast-food establishment. Could your golf facilities use a jolt of this elevated, consistent customer service? Ryan Magnon, Chick-fil-A’s senior operations executive and former Capella Resorts executive alongside Horst Schulze (Ritz-Carlton founder), takes a deep dive into what it takes to transform your workforce culture into something exceptional and memorable, and turn your hospitality standards into a competitive advantage.
