Staff training

We train your team
while they work.

At the hotel, one person at a time on the situations of their shift. Online, with the DolceVita masterclasses open to the whole team for twelve months.

At the hotel or online, your choice.

How it works

The training starts from the hotel.

01

Focus

We choose together the situations, the behaviours and the priorities to work on.

02

Training

Training built around each employee, on your floor or online.

03

Practice

The work runs on the examples they meet during their own shift.

04

Review

What is left at the end: the behaviours to hold and the priorities to reinforce.

DolceVita experience

Training built inside hotel work.

Behind the programmes is the DolceVita network: professionals who run front office, restaurant, cellar, bar, concierge and guest experience in working hotels, alongside the person who founded DolceVita Hospitality after a career in hotel operations in Italy and abroad. The same capabilities are filmed in the digital library.

Prices

Three tiers, from one person to the whole hotel.

  • Guest-facing team

    From €275 per person

    This is the starting price: the final one depends on how many people we train and the time it takes.

  • Managers

    From €399 per leader per day

    This is the starting price: the final one depends on how many leaders we work with and the time it takes.

  • Standards consulting

    From €3,750 per department, not per person

    We write the hotel’s standards, department by department, and train the team to apply them every day. The price depends on the size of the department.

Travel and accommodation are agreed separately.

Diagnosis first, then training.

If the team already knows its job but the hotel's standards are unclear, outdated or inconsistent, another course achieves little. Then the work starts from the standards: writing them, taking them onto the floor during service and leaving managers a way to keep them steady, through the three standards programmes or through Standards Design, one of the three components of Guest Experience Design.
