What our clients say:

Future Hospitality Group - Queenstown, NZ

"The annual course subscription from The Hospitality Company has been a real asset to us already. It has really given us that edge as an employer in this challenging time, along with being able to recognise those A-players that are keen to grow and develop within their role. It’s great to be able to offer potential employees growth and education with us, as well as ensuring all of our leaders and future leaders alike are given a strong footing to be implementing best practice.
We intend to offer the courses to all new starters, as well as those who have been with us for a number of years and have already seen a strong interest from all of our staff. We highly recommend the subscription to any employer looking to invest in their employee’s development."

Blue Lake Eatery - Tekapo, NZ

“The Annual Course Subscription from The Hospitality Company has been huge for us. It’s become an integral part of our hiring package as well as our existing team's growth and development strategy. They love it as there are plenty of opportunities for development with it, and we love it as it keeps them more engaged and more productive. It's given us an advantage in both employee retention and made us more attractive as potential employers. It has given our leaders an edge with the team engagement, morale, and their eagerness to progress. We couldn’t recommend the subscription package enough for employee development.”

Haylee - The Fat Duck, NZ

"I have come from the "old hospo world" where you, as an individual, were just a number. There was no value, inspiration, or leadership provided, or taught. The reason I left Hospitality was being told that The Business comes first, and this was a conversation over family difficulties, which was sad to hear, and this did not align with my values, so I left. Returning to Hospitality, and to an establishment which has already been coached through THC was life changing. Going through the lessons provided in this academy I got to live the reality of its results and see the value in the systems, the leadership, and value in people, who you employ not just as employees but as your team, our team. Knowing that what you provide that team member is almost more valuable than what they can originally provide the company. By investing in their growth you are creating, together, a far better reward! I too have never understood the business side of running a restaurant, and I found this information invaluable. I hope the message of the THC, Zingermans and the USHG goes viral, and that every hospitality company and group, and any business really, can encompass the same values and business ethics.

The world would be a better place. Thank you"
