The best business practices are the most
basic ones. We believe in cause and effect.
Just as a skyscraper can only stand upon
deep-set foundations or the tastiest food
comes from the freshest ingredients, we
know the most epicurean guests gravitate
towards the finest service, and the best
service can only come from the most satisfied,
motivated staff.
It's almost a cliche' to say
that we believe in our people, but it's
not cliche' to institutionalize practices
that ensure that we have the best people
to believe in. The Dome's hiring practices
emphasize attitude over just experience,
and our advancement is based on meritocracy
over seniority. Our management philosophy
is one which places primacy in good ideas,
and sources those ideas from the staff at
all levels.
Our existing systems are not dogma, but
rather the living property of the employees
who use those systems. We actively encourage
everyone working at the Dome to suggest
and even implement improvements, and reward
those who can add to our efficiency, reputation,
or customer satisfaction.
By giving everyone a real stake in the company's
success as well as an open channel to work
towards and receive credit for that success,
the Dome is essentially a self-managing,
self-improving operation. Which means that
we take care of potential problems long
before they detract from a customer's experience.
It is often said that the best service is
that which you don't notice. Achieving it
only happens when your service people notice
everything first.
