There are two different philosophies about running airlines these days: status treatment, where the more you fly, the better you're treated; and treating everyone the same. Let's look at the two and how you can apply it to building guest and employee loyalty. Status Treatment Fly more frequently--thus spending more money--and you receive additional perks.

I find myself dining more and more often in fast-casual restaurants instead of ones that offers full service (and I use that term loosely). Why? In addition to being more in control of the timing of my experience, I find the level of hospitality in many fast-casual chains equal to or better than many of the casual full-service restaurants - for less money. What can you learn from a CASE (copy and steal everything) study of today's successful concepts? Think hospitality instead of service. On a recent visit to Pei Wei, PF Chang's fast-casual concept, with a colleague of mine (his first time to eat there), he was impressed with the friendly food delivery and offer to get drink refills for us.
