Just got back from an off island assignment. Let me tell you service on the mainland is awesome. People have figured out that guests do not have to choose your establishment, if they do you had better provide top notch service. I will also let you know that judging the open storefronts, there are many places that chose to let things happen because "that is the way we have always done it.".
Owners and managers take the time to meet your guest, read your online reviews, talk to your team, get rid of the "ya buts" and listen. After all your your employees are also your guests

politics
I will be going off the reviews for the next few weeks. I have been listening to the politicians for the last few weeks.
I have also been reading about the frustration with government. People, we have nobody to blame but ourselves.
A wise teacher told me the definition of insanity- doing the same thing over and over again, and expecting different results. This is what we have been doing with the vote. Electing the same people over and over again and expecting different results. We as a people have accepted mediocrity from our officials. We have not demanded greatness from them.
It is time to vote them all out! But Buff, what about all of the experience we will lose? What has experience gotten us lately? A cluster**** from our government.
More solutions for a change: TERM LIMITS, 2 terms for each office period.
Another possible solution for government suppliers and contractors: sign a contract stating that if at any time during an audit we find out you have been overcharging goods and services we will take all of your assets period.
Harsh, yes but it would make me think, do I really want to charge $16.00 for a muffin.
Campaign spending: set a dollar limit including personal income, Lobbyists? time to say bye-bye
Voters, the time to act is now.
Agree? let me know

who I am
Aloha, I am Buff Weaver, a long time resident of Hawaii. I have been in the restaurant business for over 30 years.I love everything about the business. The rushes, nc/ns and how to staff it. The people who work there and the guests who go the the restaurants are the best part of the "life"
I will be doing reviews and interviews with staff and guests of restaurants and resorts.
Times are tough, so maybe some of my blogs will make you laugh, I will also be telling you some old stories. These stories will not use real names to protect the not so innocent parties involved.
Stay tuned.
TTFN,
BUFF- A- LO- HA
