I am always open to hearing from both my guest and Host whether it’s to say “hello” or if a situation arises that needs to be fixed.
Best part of this job is meeting and conversing with our VIP guests to make them feel at home and enjoy their experience here at Tachi. Our aim is to always treat a guest as if they are the most important person, you’ll meet that day, because that is what each guest who comes through our door is.
