Five Star Training: Success Stories View full page reference letters
“All of my managers and hourly team members attended Five Star Training's four-day seminar series and enjoyed them immensely. Pam was extremely enthusiastic and gelled right away with my team. Five Star Training's restaurant training programs are not just fluff…they are full of valuable substance. Pam provided us with essential tools and concrete concepts to sink our teeth into. After the seminars, we experienced a higher level of teamwork, a boost in morale, and increased positive guest comments. Most importantly, we experienced a 30% increase in sales and a solid spike in check averages directly after Pam’s training. Indeed…a very good investment for us!”

“Five Star Training trained our front staff for our new restaurant opening and our existing hotel front desk clerks. From the start, I was very impressed with Pam as she was extremely passionate and knowledgeable. Pam conducted five seminars which were all customized to reflect our unique concept and business operations. What amazed me the most was how my team stayed enthusiastic and engaged—even during some of the longer full-day seminars! Every team member said the seminars were very fun and interactive.
