Example Output
Example 1: Service Recovery Script for Extended Wait Time
Opening Statement: "I sincerely apologize for the wait—we take every reservation seriously and fell short of our standard tonight. To start making this right, your first course is on us, and we'll prioritize your table for the remainder of your visit."
What We Did Wrong: Overbooking + insufficient reservation buffer
Follow-up: Personal call within 48 hours; 20% off return visit offer
Example 2: VIP Protocol for Wine Collector

Example 3: Staff De-escalation Playbook
Scenario: Guest received wrong dish (has shellfish allergy; shellfish was ordered)
- Immediate (0 sec): Stop service, move guest away from other diners
- Acknowledge (30 sec): "This is unacceptable—your safety is our priority"
