Core Service Excellence

CROW - Customer Right of Way

The foundation of exceptional service at Vault Speakeasy. Guests always come first in every decision and action.

What CROW Means:

  • β€’ Customer needs supersede all other tasks
  • β€’ Stop what you're doing to help a guest
  • β€’ Acknowledge guests immediately, even if busy
  • β€’ Guest experience drives every decision

Work Priority System

When multiple tasks compete for attention, follow this hierarchy:

Priority 1: Direct Guest Service

Taking orders, serving drinks, answering questions

Priority 2: Guest Comfort & Safety

Clearing tables, addressing spills, ensuring safety

Priority 3: Operational Tasks

Restocking, cleaning, organizing

Communication Systems

Red Light System

Know when to escalate issues immediately to management:

🚨 Immediate Escalation Required

  • β€’ Safety incidents or injuries
  • β€’ Intoxicated guests requiring cut-off
  • β€’ Aggressive or disruptive behavior
  • β€’ Equipment failures affecting service
  • β€’ Any situation you're unsure how to handle

Operational Excellence

Equipment and Organization Standards

Maintain efficiency through proper organization:

If you restock one item, restock the entire station. This prevents multiple trips and keeps operations smooth.
