Lessons from Every Floor: Bob Evans → Hospitality & Heart in Service

Working at Bob Evans was more than serving meals—it was about serving people. Families came for comfort food, travelers stopped in for a warm meal, and regulars wanted to be remembered by name. It wasn’t just the food that brought them back—it was the hospitality.

That’s when I learned: true service is about heart, not just tasks.

🌱 The Lesson from the Floor

People don’t just want what you give them—they want how you make them feel.

At Bob Evans, the smile, the warmth, and the small conversations often mattered more than the menu. The experience was as important as the meal.

✨ The Coaching Angle

As a business owner, your “hospitality” is what sets you apart. Clients flourish when they feel cared for and seen. You can create that by:

• Listening deeply—paying attention to more than just their words.
• Adding warmth—little personal touches make a big difference.
• Making every interaction memorable—leave people better than you found them.

Hospitality in business isn’t about fancy extras—it’s about bringing heart to your service.

🌸 Flourishing Forward

Bob Evans taught me that hospitality is a mindset. Whether you’re serving food, coaching, or selling a product, the way you treat people is what they’ll always remember. When clients feel at home with you, they’ll return, refer, and remain loyal.

💡 Coaching Reflection

“Hospitality is not an action—it’s an atmosphere.”

Affirmation for Today:
