Kind Dining Testimonials

“Your workbook is clever, entertaining, thought-provoking, soul-searching, and full of common sense.”

Brigitte Burke RD,

NHC AVP Dietary Services, National Healthcare Corporation, Murfreesboro, TN.

“This training is exactly what we need, and it’s all in one place. We’ve been using restaurant server training videos and tell our servers to ignore many of the concepts covered.  Kind Dining training is perfect for our serving staff.”

Channon Larson,

Former Director of Operations: Willowcreek Management, McMinnville, OR.

“Your training was an excellent value for us.”

Jeff Robinett,

Executive Director: Homewoods on the Willamette, Portland, OR.

“Candice and Alisha really enjoyed the training. Candice said it was good to confirm we are doing a lot of things you taught but also came back with great ideas.”

Delvin Zook

CEO, Rock of Ages Mennonite Home McMinnville, OR.

“I really like how this training is formatted toward the servers. We often forget they are the ones who can make a difference simply by their approach, skills, and knowledge.”

Lisa Maynard,

Executive Director: The Springs at Clackamas Woods, Milwaukie, OR.

“Kayla, one of our servers who is a college student with restaurant service experience, took time to thank me for sending her to the Kind Dining workshop.  She said, “I actually found the workshop inspirational and full of new insights to better serve residents”.   Kayla emphasized her restaurant service might be more upbeat,  but knowing and caring for our residents took her service contribution to a different level.  She felt enlightened how important her role is and how she can make a difference as a server.”

Susi Weiser,

Dining Services Director: The Springs at Missoula, Missoula, MT.
