This is a scenario Dream Dinners Franchisees should always try to avoid.

To overcome this subconscious tendency, Dream Dinners franchisees can mentally check themselves and their responses periodically throughout a discussion. Staying calm always for one to remain mindful and maintain the ability to rebalance their attitude if needed. 1. Stay Calm

Instead of immediately offering up a solution, take a moment to ask them how the situation can or should be remediated in their mind. This immediately shows the guest you’re willing to take their opinion into consideration when coming up with a solution. 4. Ask How You Can Help
- 8. You may or may not be able to meet your guest’s demands, depending on the suggested solution. If the guest’s proposed solution is feasible and won’t cause harm to your Dream Dinners franchise, proceed accordingly.
