Yes We Can!

It's that time of year where everything has fallen into place and is seemingly dialed in for the next 5 year run. We have accepted the honor that we were the most profitable food and beverage team in the country across all brands of Starwood which includes W's, Luxury collection, St. Regis, Aloft, Sheraton, Westin, Four Points etc. etc. and have done everything possible to achieve this honor in 2010. It was hard, not romantic and certainly took many people working together to achieve this honor. Did I mention we have a 5 star, 5 diamond restaurant too? Yes we do, it's name is Kai. Ok, no other property in Starwood has a 5/5 restaurant so yes it's a huge honor to receive this from the hierarchy of Starwood's elite including the President. Times are tough, not easy and certainly hard for resorts to gain market share especially in light of our current economy. How did we prevail? Buy in from all who walked the halls. A sense of family, team, togetherness was lived by all. It wasn't me or one person but rather the collective minds and souls who had more positive deposits in their emotional bank accounts than negatives. Simply put...A new mind set with players that want to win rather than losers who want to talk about how we can't win and the drama associated with that mentality. We are here. We won and we will again as there is no other option that can change my mind... Way to go team!!!!
