The transition from Food Service Tray Line to Room Service has changed not only the way we operate but it has changed the culture of my department…DM&A Coaches were with me from building the foundation of the new service to teaching the logistics, creating the menu, the implementation of policies and procedures, to the training plan and the execution of training on go live week. You and your group know this work and handle this in a way to make sure that all the pieces fit together seamlessly…I cannot thank you all enough for all you have done…DM&A has their hand on the pulse of support services. You are making a difference!
