Behind every legendary hotel reopening is a team that makes the impossible look effortless.

I spoke with Mary D'Argenis-Fernandez, President of MDA Hospitality Solutions, about her company's incredible work training the team at the newly reopened Waldorf Astoria New York β€” one of the most anticipated returns in hospitality.

Mary explains how her team prepared staff across every outlet β€” from Peacock Alley to Lex Yard β€” to deliver flawless service from day one. We also explore how training drives profitability, retention, and guest satisfaction in today's high-turnover world.

This conversation on #NoVacancyNews is a reminder that hospitality excellence starts with investment in people.
