Club at Hyatt

Regular readers and followers will know what big fans we are of the restaurants at Grand Hyatt Singapore. There’s the afternoon tea at 10 SCOTTS that we love, pizzas and pastas at Pete’s Place, local delights at StraitsKitchen’s popular uniquely Singaporean buffet spread, a round of BBQ buffet by the poolside at Oasis, and lunch at our favourite mezza9, the five signature restaurants at Grand Hyatt Singapore offer options for all occasions, and we can never get tired of dining there.

What if we tell you that you can get 50% discounts at all the restaurants in Grand Hyatt Singapore without any strings attached? How marvellous would life be? As a member of Club at The Hyatt, there are numerous dining benefits that you get to enjoy, including dining discounts of up to 50% at any of the five restaurants at Grand Hyatt Singapore, 15% off special festive menus and promotions, as well as additional privilege like complimentary parking of up to four hours. All these for just S$298 nett per annum for the basic membership.

And to make the deal an even sweeter one, get the membership card with a cheque book (with S$220 worth of dining vouchers that you can use at Grand Hyatt Singapore) at S$448 nett per annum. Needless to say, if you dine out or entertain your clients regularly, this is one card that you should definitely consider. The cost of the membership actually translates to greater cost savings. So essentially you are getting the card for free with a few visits to the restaurants.

Your Club at The Hyatt membership allows you unlimited dining benefits at mezza9, Pete’s Place, 10 SCOTTS, Oasis and StraitsKitchen. Single diners enjoy a 15% discount, while dining as a pair will entitle you to a whopping 50% off the bill, and 25% off if you dine in a group of four.

Better Customers

What ruins our mood most when we dine out is not the food, nor the ambience, but very often the service and attitude of wait staff. All it takes is a smile to set things straight; similarly, an unfriendly staff can spoil things with her rudeness, and an unhelpful staff can affect the overall dining experience.

Some time ago, we shared about what everyone can do to expect better service, and while more often than not, we complain about poor service when dining out, diners should also reflect and think about how we play a part in making the whole dining experience memorable.

Service is not just about the workers, but it also involves employers and customers. In this day and age, more is expected, thus more has to be given. As NTUC’s Labour Chief Lim Swee Say puts it: “The globalized world thrives on mutual dependency, mutual support and mutual acceptance. Good services beget good customers, and good customers beget good services”.

Today, we will like to elaborate with five more ways on how diners can be better customers.
