We empower each other. We inspire our clients. We encourage our community. Integrity & Trust- We conduct ourselves in a way that is honorable, commendable, and true. We have the courage and willingness to "do the right thing." Service Excellence- Service Excellence is more than what we provide, it's how we think and act. We deliver what we promise and go beyond what is expected. SERVICE STANDARDS GSS At AmeriPark, we don't just talk about customer service. We put it into action every time we interact with a customer. When interacting with customers, remember the acronym GSS to provide high quality service. GSS stands for Greet, Serve, and Send. Greet- Greet the Customer Serve- Serve them in a friendly, efficient manner Send- Send them on their way with a friendly farewell 20/10 Rule Employees should always remember the 20/10 rule when they are near customers. If you are within 20 feet Winning through Service of the customer, you should acknowledge them with a gesture, a wave of the hand, a nod of the head, eye contact, a smile, etc. If you are within 10 feet of a customer, you should acknowledge them with eye contact & a verbal greeting, "hello", "good morning", etc. Service Expectations Whether you are a cashier, ambassador, maintenance person, valet, driver, bookkeeper, manager, or executive, here is what we expect from ALL AmeriPark employees Smile • Greet all customers with a smile • Remember- you never get a second chance to make a good first impression Be Friendly • Practice "Greet/Serve/Send" at all times -with enthusiasm! • Give your attention to the customer and to the job at hand Be Dependable • Report for work on time as scheduled • Complete the tasks you are asked to complete • Respond promptly to questions and requests • Follow up until situation is resolved Look Good • Always report to work in proper uniform • Keep uniform neat and clean • Be neat and well groomed • Don't eat, drink, smoke, chew gum, or talk on phone in view of customers Be a good representative of AmeriPark • Anticipate the needs of customers • Be able to answer basic questions & help customers solve problems • Keep your work area clean and well organized • Know and practice AmeriPark's Service Standards PRINCIPLES OF CUSTOMER SERVICE AND COURTESY An often -repeated customer service philosophy that AmeriPark should recite to employees is this: "Our facility is often the first and last experience customers have on their way to and from their destination. ,4meri Our job is to make that experience a clean, safe and pleasant one for every customer who parks here." Excellent customer service starts at the top. AmeriPark must not only select service -minded employees, but employees must also continually emphasize the need to deliver the best customer service possible, in every situation. Customer service could be emphasized by one important rule: "Customer service isn't part of the job; it is the job. " AmeriPark employees must understand that customer service is not just another duty in addition to the regular responsibilities they need to perform. Customer service is the reason for performing all duties of the job. Service with a Smile Smile and begin each transaction on the right note. Consider a smile on the employee's face to be an important part of the organization's uniform. Service with a smile is as important to a facility's success as cleanliness and safety. Smile to show customers you are happy to serve them. Make Good Eye Contact Look at customers and co-workers when you or they are speaking. Good eye contact is a form of respect. It shows that you are giving the other person your full attention. Greet Every Customer Parking facility employees, managers and supervisors should make it their job to greet every customer with whom they come into contact. Be the first to greet customers when they arrive, or, greet them at the elevator, in walkways or when exiting the facility. Be Professional When in Uniform If you are wearing a uniform or nametag, remember that you are representing your organization while you wear the organization name. We expect you to act professionally and courteously when in uniform. This Winning through Service may include your daily commutes to and from work, at lunch and during breaks. Proper attire includes good grooming as well as wearing a uniform or following a dress code required by your organization. Employees' clothing should always be clean, pressed and neat looking. Shoes also should look clean and neat. Present a Good Appearance Pay attention to grooming and personal appearance, too. Please refer to the handbook for jewelry, tattoos, piercings, and other personal fashion statement policies. Some basic requirements are common to most organizations with regard to personal appearance. Finger -nails and hands for all employees should be clean. Hair should be neat and tied back if long. All employees should strive to minimize those aspects that discourage interpersonal contact with, and acceptance by customers, such as offensive body odor or breath. Deliver Prompt, Accurate Service Employees should be the first to greet customers, offer directions, and ask if a customer needs help. Employees should know their job well enough to perform their duties accurately and quickly. Customer service surveys indicate that customers will wait a little more patiently if they believe a busy employee is working hard to be as efficient as possible. Valet parking employees may be asked to "run, don't walk" when retrieving customer cars. However, prompt service is only half of the rule. Never sacrifice accuracy or safety for speed. Never Ignore Customers Don't allow daily tasks such as cleaning or completing reports distract you from assisting customers. Being too busy is no excuse for ignoring a customer who needs service. Also, don't let these other personal distractions prevent you from interacting with customers promptly and courteously: • Talking on the phone • Speaking with co-workers or visitors who might have dropped by to chat Reading Listening to the radio Customers should always be the employee's first and most important focus. Ameri Provide Excellent Service, with or without a Tip In operations where tipping is customary, such as a valet parking facility, employees must remember that every customer gets excellent service, whether a tip is offered or not. Thank every customer for using the facility. ADDITIONAL RESPONSIBILITIES FOR AMERIPARK EMPLOYEES Be Available Respond immediately to questions, needs and complaints In situations involving customers, always try to contact them before they contact you. Delaying contact regarding claims or complaints may make problems worse. Treat Customers Professionally at All Times You may get to know many of your customers quite well and feel that you are friends. However, never forget that they are paying customers and always deserve your professional attention and courtesy. Follow through on each promise you make to customers, whether it's a price quote or a complimentary parking pass. A delay in fulfilling your promise could cause a loss of business. Understand the Service Level Customers Expect The wise AmeriPark employee consults with the client and customers to gain perspective on the level of service expected in the facility and delivers on that expectation. Knowing who your customers are and understanding the service and revenue goals for the facility will guide you in how best to balance the needs of everyone involved. SERVICE LEVELS FOR DIFFERENT TYPES PARKING OPERATIONS As an AmeriPark employee, be aware of how you may provide and improve customer service in your parking facility. Here are some highlights of different customer service levels for unattended, attended, and valet facilities. Winning through Service Unattended Facilities Unattended facilities include those with lock box, pay -on - foot and monthly pre -paid parking. Maintaining the appearance and safety of these unattended facilities shows customer service at work. Customer service details to consider in unattended facilities are: • Wayfinding signage • Facility design • Facility appearance • Equipment Carefully place and maintain all signs and instructions throughout the facility. Customers must rely on these signs to show them where to park and where to pay. Make sure the wording is accurate and concise. If bilingual signs are needed, ensure that the translations are correct. Facility Design An unattended, self -park facility should be easy for customers to enter and exit. Parking spaces should be designed with safety in mind. Traffic intersections should be clearly marked to avoid collisions. Larger parking spaces and aisles may be an advantage to help customers to park easily and quickly without damaging their vehicle or other vehicles. However, this is an example of the tradeoff between service and revenue. Larger spaces may mean fewer spaces and less revenue, and changes to facility design should always be done in consultation with the owners, design experts and your supervisor. Facility Appearance Make sure that the facility surfaces are in good repair, clean, freshly painted and well lit. A well -kept facility will invite customers to park in it. Equipment Check entrance and exit gates, lights and revenue control equipment daily to make sure they are in working order. Ameri: Attended Facilities There are several variations of attended, self -park facilities. Each type requires its own level of customer service. Appearance, facility design and equipment maintenance are key factors in attended facilities just as they are in unattended ones. However, the most recognized element of customer service in an attended facility is the personnel. Two keys to customer service in attended facilities are: • Knowledgeable and courteous personnel • Equipment operation Knowledgeable Personnel All personnel should be familiar with the facility's policies procedures and rates, so they can answer customer questions with confidence and accuracy. Facility personnel should also be familiar with the surrounding neighborhood and be able to give directions to customers who are not familiar with the area. Cashiers and any employee collecting fees should also perform the following services, at a minimum: • Greet customers • Process transactions quickly and accurately • Clearly state fees • Process payments quickly and accurately • Count change back to customers out loud • Thank each customer for using the facility Equipment Operation Employees should be able to operate all equipment properly and know what to do if any equipment malfunctions. Procedures should include how to handle all customer transactions efficiently and courteously when equipment is out of order. Anytime your facility upgrades to a new and different technology, think about the impact this will have on your customers and how you can help them overcome the initial learning curve. Winning through Service Valet Facilities A valet facility is often established to make the best use of space, provide special service to clients, or both. Many customers expect the highest level of service from valet parking facilities. Valets may be required to always wear nametags. Names can be important, especially if there is a customer compliment or complaint. Facility visitors may have special needs for which the valet may need to provide assistance. For example, if the facility is part of a hospital or other medical center, valets should be able to assist with wheelchairs, crutches, infant seats and more. A valet parking facility often operates in conjunction with restaurants, hotels, shopping areas and businesses. Valet attendants may be required to park and retrieve each vehicle. Some valet facilities have a cashier to handle payments, with valets dealing strictly with parking and returning vehicles to customers. Courteous Valet Service with a Cashier A cashier in a valet parking facility is responsible for accepting all payments. The valet attendant is responsible for parking and retrieving cars. The basic customer service steps for a valet include: • Opening car doors • Greeting customers • Handing customers a claim check • Retrieves vehicles upon customers' return • Helps customers store items in vehicle if necessary • Waits for customers to enter their vehicles • Closes the vehicle door once customers are inside Courteous Valet Service without a Cashier In this type of operation, the valet performs essentially the same duties as a valet working with a cashier. The difference is that this valet is also responsible for collecting the parking fees from customers. The valet should clearly state the parking fee and thank customers for parking in the facility. ,4ineri Prompt Check -Out Valets should ask customers the approximate time of their return. By doing so, the valet may park vehicles so that they can be retrieved in the order in which customers will be leaving. POLICIES, PROCEDURES AND CUSTOMER SERVICE When service is the job, not just part of it, you begin to relate many of your policies and procedures to serving the customer in every circumstance. Customer Safety An important way to deliver excellent service is to prevent problems that you can foresee. There is no greater service you can provide your customer than to assure their safety while they are in your facility. • Develop a safety first attitude throughout your facility. • Ensure that valets handle every vehicle carefully and slowly. • Block customers' access to restricted areas in the facility. • Maintain proper cleaning and maintenance procedures to prevent slips and falls. • A well -lit facility is a safer facility. • Provide security measures, such as conveniently located customer call buttons or stations. • Instruct personnel to be responsible for removing debris, light snow and ice, and ensure that equipment is in good repair • Employees should always report gates that malfunction or have sharp edges. • Advise personnel to report any dangerous conditions they observe, such as potholes or uneven surfaces. • Remember to stay aware of your surroundings. Look up from your work frequently and survey the facility in all directions for potential hazards or criminal activity. Prompt Handling of Damages and Claims • Apologize to the customer for any inconvenience and follow your organization's procedures for handling a claim. • Assure the customer that the situation will be handled promptly. Show that you are concerned. Winning through Service • If there is a personal injury, call for emergency assistance. Ask if a relative or friend can be notified. • Do not admit guilt unnecessarily. • Get the details. Write out your own report. • Assist the customer in completing claim forms and reports. • Employees should be trained and prepared to handle damage claims. Handling Lost Tickets Claims Varying locations and types of facilities present different challenges when handling lost tickets. Most attended, self -park facilities have a policy requiring customers to pay a full day's rate when they cannot find their parking tickets. • Train personnel to be courteous when explaining the lost -ticket policy to customers. • Collect the proper parking fee. Many valet facilities can rely on the valet to remember when the customer arrived in order to figure an appropriate rate. CUSTOMER COMPLAINTS AND DISSATISFACTION When a customer has a complaint, always show that you are concerned and take action. Thank the customer for bringing the problem to your attention and act accordingly. A well-trained staff of attendants, valets and cashiers should be ready to resolve complaints from dissatisfied customers. Emphasize that dissatisfied customers should always be treated with respect. Customers Are Not Always Right, But They Are Your Customers Customers who are frustrated with travel delays, work problems, a sick family member or unfamiliar surroundings will sometimes take their frustration out on a parking attendant. If a customer wants to vent that frustration, allow them to do so, and don't argue. Employees should be aware that dealing with frustrated customers comes with the territory. The employees' job is to stay calm, answer questions, offer to help and always stay in control of every situation. ,lmeri Employees who lose their tempers lose their control Losing one's temper can result in problems greater than the original issue. Resolving Customer Complaints Using PARC When employees are faced with a customer complaint, it is important for them to resolve the issue using the "PARC" acronym. PARC stands for Professional, Apologize, Resolve, and Correct. Professional- Our well trained staff listens to the customer and provides compassionate responses regarding the situation. Listen, Empathize and Analyze & Respectfully deal with the issue. Apologize- Employees apologize for and acknowledge the inconvenience of the situation to the customer. We are grateful to have our customers and want to reconcile the situation to the best of our ability through our teamwork and leadership. Resolve- We resolve the situation for the customer by offering a solution that demonstrates our commitment to putting our guests' needs ahead of our own. correct- We correct the situation through coaching the staff, focusing on the situation at hand and discussing what was missed from our staff and what is needed to prevent it from happening again. Additional training is provided to the staff to polish and sharpen our skills and knowledge regarding the situation. CUSTOMER SERVICE TRAINING Good customer service training means every employee understands the policies, philosophy and actions to be taken in a variety of customer service situations. Customer service training for facility personnel should include: • A clear explanation of the level of customer service personnel are expected to deliver. • A demonstration of how employees should try to resolve a customer complaint and when a manager should be called in to resolve a complaint. • A description of actions to be taken in the case of emergencies, damages or claims. • Role-playing to help personnel practice what they have learned before they are faced with a customer complaint on the job. Develop role-plays based on prior real customer complaints, and common types of customers, including travelers, those who are late for work and customers who have forgotten their wallets. Winning through Service Employees should practice how they use their body to communicate. They should not stand too close in a customer's "personal space," nor look away or be distracted while in conversation with a customer. Also, arms should not be folded in front of the body, this signals a lack of interest in helping the patron. Instead, employees should stand at a respectful distance, maintain eye contact and show they are actively listening to the patron by nodding, for example. Employees should also be trained to use words to demonstrate their professionalism and eagerness to provide top service Table 1 Periodic Customer Service Performance Reviews Each year during annual reviews, all employees will be rated on their customer service. These ratings will be based on: • Employee performance • SMS customer text comments • Tip Averages • Car Counts Locations with SMS Valet System offer guests the opportunity to provide feedback at the end of their visit via text. The guest is able to rate their experience on a scale of 1 through 5 and make additional comments. Customer compliments and complaints will be a part of an employee's personnel file. During periodic employee reviews, employees will be recognized for good customer service performance, or management will recommend ways to improve weak performance. Customer complaints and solutions will be recorded in order to keep track of the facility's overall customer service. It is important to look for trends and use your data collected to prioritize corrections for repeated concerns. Comment cards will be available at all times to enable patrons to immediately advise you of any concerns— or kudos—for your operation. Establish Open Communication with Customers Although they may have legitimate complaints or problems with the parking facility, some customers do not like to complain in person. Others will demand to speak to someone in charge. In either case, you can ,4meri show your willingness to address customers' concerns by making it easy for customers to contact you. • Post a convenient office number at the facility for customers to call when they have questions or comments. • If available, provide personnel with a supply of your business cards. • Employees should distribute cards to unsatisfied customers who insist on speaking to "someone in charge." • At the very least, Employees should provide the supervisor's name and office number to customers when appropriate. Winning through Service ,4meri Table 1: What to Say When Speaking with a Customer DON'T SAY DO SAY "No." "Here's what I can do for you." "You'll have to call the office." "Here's how I can help you right now." "That's not my department." Or "I don't have the "Let me introduce you to the person who can authority to do that." help you." "You're right, this company (or organization) "I can understand why you're frustrated." doesn't care about its customers." "Calm down." "I'm sorry. Please let me help you." "I don't know." "I'll find out for you." "I'm busy right now." "Sorry for the wait. I'll be with you the moment I finish this." "It's not my fault." "Let's work together to try and fix this." "That's against our policy (or procedure)." "Let me offer you this alternative." "Call me back to follow up." "I'll call you back on Monday with an answer."
