The Importance Of Face Recognition

We must know which visitors we can expect. For example, guests for a wedding (because a wedding will be held in one of the halls of the hotel), or businessmen who come for a business meeting, or a family on vacation.

The seven Four Seasons “service culture standards” expected of all staff and all over the world at all times are playing a role in Four Seasons’ success. The first is the smile. Employees actively greet guests, smile and speak clearly in a friendly manner. The second is the eye contact, even in passing with an acknowledgement. The third is the sense of recognition by using the guest’s name, when known in a natural and discreet manner. The fourth is the voice. Staff will speak to guests in a courteous manner, avoiding pretention and in a clear voice. The fifth is informed. Staff will be well informed about their hotel and the products and services they

A doorman can please the customer with a smile and a few words of welcome, but one surly waiter can kill the effect. Or if we keep an executive waiting in his suite in his underwear for his only suit to come back from a one-hour pressing, we could lose a lifetime customer worth hundreds of thousands of dollars. No hotel, however splendid, looks good to someone whose day it has ruined. For example, lodging manager usually work long and irregular hours including weekends, evenings and most public holidays, usually works indoors, and from an

Processing faces is extremely important to humans as social beings. We are able to put and identity on thousands of faces (Gazzaniga, 2002) with ease, something we might take for granted. The value of this ability can be better understood when the world is viewed through the eyes of somebody with prosopagnosia, the inability to recognise faces. The following quotation from David Fine, a prosopagnosic describing the difficulty associated with the disorder.

Although there are several problems that can diminish the effectiveness of interpersonal communication, some tactics can be used in order to minimize these failures in communication. A recent visit to a hotel sparked a perfect example of this communication opportunity between a patron and the hotel's front desk employee.

While working as waiter at a restaurant, you should always welcome your customers with a cordial greeting.

There was a study done by Young, Hay, and Ellis (1985) that uses people with no medical issues. They asked people to keep a diary record of problems they experienced in face recognition. They found people never reported putting a name to a face while knowing nothing else about that person. This supports the model as it suggests that we cannot think of a person's name unless we know other contextual information about them.

Employees should also look out for people who don’t fit the profile of the hotel’s typical guest,”

The school I chose to research is the Florida Autism Center of Excellence, more commonly referred to as FACE. FACE comes under the umbrella of schools dedicated to providing for the special education needs of students who have been diagnosed as being on the Autism Spectrum. It is an institution dedicated to focusing on the distinctive educational needs of autistic students in the age range of three to twenty-two (3-22) years old. FACE is a public charter school in Hillsborough County that is operated by a private board of directors. What this means for students is that they are guaranteed the same quality education that they would receive at a county school. It also ensures that the curriculum they are taught will meet all the requirements

The Portman Hotel executives were committed to keeping both their guest and employees happy. The vision that would separate The Portman from the competition was “personal valets” (PVs). These PVs were responsible to every need of a guest. This included everything from cleaning and restocking the rooms, to more personalized services like pressing the guest’s clothes, preparing the guest’s drinks, or drawing a guest’s bath. As long the requests from the guests were legal and moral it was the PVs

The purpose of this study was to determine how effective undergraduate students were able to recall the name of people when prompted by their faces. One strategy used to help recall faces is the face-name mnemonic strategy. Three encoding and retrieval steps used to remember a persons face are name clues, prominent facial features and interactive image. Name clues are clues written in the name to help you remember. The clue may resemble the whole name or part of name. Prominent facial features are distinct feature within the photo. Many may focus on the eyes, ears, nose or lips in the photo. Interactive image is where you make a connection between the name clue and the prominent facial features. However, some choose to use a name clue and a piece of article they are wearing to help remember their name. It has been argued that the category for facial feature are very limited and additional concrete materials should be identified to make the connection.

The Four Seasons case explores how to manage the differences between the culture of a country and organizational culture. Four Seasons hotels are world renowned luxury hotels that specialize in blending a local, country specific, image with worldwide customer service practices. The seven common cultural standards that the Four Seasons have created and expect to be implemented all over the world include the following: (1) acting friendly toward and smiling at guests, (2) making eye contact with passers-by to acknowledge their presence, (3) creating a sense of recognition with guests by using their first names naturally but discreetly, (4) using a clear and unpretentious voice, (5) being well informed about the hotel, their

Service is the most important aspect when it comes to handling a hotel. A hotel’s main objective is to provide the best service and tend to all of the guests’ needs and requirements. If there is no service then there would be no business. When running a business, the costumer is always placed first. Poor services can results in a complaint from a guest. But that complaint can be used to better the business in the future.
