“To be a chef, you need to be eager and have the hunger to learn. It is a lot of hard work and dedication. You must always be curious of the latest trends and happenings. You should never be contented with your current achievements but always striving to rise above your own current standards. This is the difference between a cook and a chef. So learn the true art of culinary as you encounter the many different and diverse opportunities out there.”

“Food is like ‘super glue’ that brings people together, irrespective of colour or creed because everybody appreciates good food in their bellies. The opportunity to grow and become someone who is able to be a contributor is immense, being one of those people who have been given that very same opportunity. I believe very strongly that in whatever you do, you must have a good heart and be sincere. You will learn to enjoy doing the things that you love doing even more.”

“The hospitality industry, is about culture and people.  The understanding of these two elements have allowed me to form and lead winning teams, instil and create exemplary customer service straight from the heart. And to be a good hotelier, one must have the spirit to serve. They should never be satisfied with their normal routine of service, but always look for the opportunity to go above and beyond the ‘extra miles’ to make sure that they not only meet but exceed the expectations of their customers.”

Robert Frager
