Compliments About 'Service Dynamics' Training and Business Development!
“James' talent, experience and enthusiasm for the hospitality business really shines through in his workshop.
He made what could have been just another boring training session into one where everyone participated. The morale of the staff definitely improved. I have used several of his ideas and they really work!”
C. Gelson GEORGE MARTIN RESTAURANTS
“It was so helpful that you were a waiter yourself. It made it much easier for the staff to relate to you.”
J. Mendolia WATERZOOI
“An incredible experience . . . not just smoke and mirrors! A ‘must' for the whole staff. A much needed service to the industry!”
K. Rabadi WATERZOOI
"I found this to be great! I can't wait to try out the techniques and use the knowledge to enhance my performance.
I felt the material was presented in a fun and friendly manner."
S. Simpson HONU
“Superbly pertinent -- presented in a substantive and entertaining manner. James Dunne has walked the talk. I thought I knew it all. I learned a lot! Thanks . . . I would recommend you anywhere.”
L. Dodd GEORGE MARTIN RESTAURANTS
“I loved this workshop. Even as a server for years, I learned valuable lessons and tools to improve my sales and service. I recommend this to anyone interested in improving the quality of their work. Thank you.”
E. Rafuls WATERZOOI
“I enjoyed myself so much that I lost track of the time and was amazed by how much I learned.”
S. Tracte GEORGE MARTIN RESTAURANTS
“No joke. He absolutely hit every aspect of how to improve the dining experience. Highly recommended for any business”
M. Magliola GEORGE MARTIN RESTAURANTS
“James' knowledge and professionalism leant itself to a very successful seminar.
My ability, attitude and, yes, check average have all increased since participating in his program! Thanks.”
L. McGrath GEORGE MARTIN RESTAURANTS
"Personally, I think I’m a great server, but I didn’t know how much I didn’t know until this session. I’m excited to try these techniques and earn more!"
K. Postel CORBIN & REYNOLDS
"The course is helpful in that it teaches servers to be positive and to care about what they are doing.
In most restaurants the attitude is extremely negative...but not at Ben’s. This will help us bring it to a new level."
S. Pequillan BEN'S DELI & RESTAURANT
"The course exceeded my expectations...I feel that James was excellent. He knew the subject exceptionally well and made it fun!"
J. Friedman BEN'S DELI & RESTAURANT
"It was great. I think every restaurant in NYC should take this class!"
M. Bautista BEN'S DELI & RESTAURANT
"I had no expectations. In fact, I was wondering what I could possibly learn after waiting tables for twenty years, but I learned something new!"
A. Georgopoulos BEN'S DELI & RESTAURANT
"It gave me a lot of suggestions for selling more and being more helpful to customers. It was perfect for our business and will definitely help me be more comfortable on the floor and to understand our customers."
J. Lepuz BEN'S DELI & RESTAURANT
“I think this class was extremely beneficial to all of us and helps us to better understand the “Psychology” of waiting on tables”
G. Wahlice VINCENT's CLAM BAR
“I initially thought that it was ridiculous that, as a host, I would have to go to this meeting. I have to say that it was definitely beneficial and pointed out so many things that I never would have even realized affected customers. Thank you.”
Kathleen VINCENT's CLAM BAR
“Very informative in a relaxed and enjoyable environment”
A. Murphy MacARTHUR PARK
“Thanks for an incredible experience.
I think every staff needs to have these meetings on a regular schedule to help them remember how to better serve guests.”
J. Flugmacher CROXLEY ALE HOUSE
“It was early and I was tired and Jimmy kept my attention the entire time. He was very informative and equally entertaining.
He deserves every penny he receives for his services.”
K. DiStefano WATERZOOI
“You know what you’re talking about...and what we go through...your experience shows. Your ability to relates to the staff keeps it interesting.”
F. Ruehman WATERZOOI
“I have been a server for 8 years. The material presented needed to be reinforced because it is all about the extra dollar!”
Tania JAMESON’s
“I think it is a great course, especially for people with little or no experience.
Even if people have been in the business a long time, they are sure to learn something new.”
Y. Brandstetter JAMESON’s
“You were great, funny, adorable, and experienced. I really enjoyed the lecture.”
J. Martino GEORGE MARTIN RESTAURANTS
“James is very knowledgeable of every aspect of the restaurant industry in terms of professional service. A workshop that could have been drudgery was made interesting and actually fun. I would recommend that every restaurant seek his services.”
M. Erickson GEORGE MARTIN RESTAURANTS
“I think any restaurant owner would be a fool not to bring Jimmy Dunne in at least once a year. It would be the best investment they could make in their restaurant...making both the owner and themselves more money as well as helping increase regular clientele.”
C. Lunenfeld GEORGE MARTIN RESTAURANTS
“The trainer made a 4 hour presentation fly by with his humor and stories chock full of valuable experiences.”
J. Lees RUNYON's

M. Hoyos RUNYON's
“I was surprisingly impressed and entertained. I am an extremely positive person to start with, but you made me want to go out and be even more so. I’m ready to sell that Veal Chop along with a bottle of wine!”
S. Bieder RUNYON's
“All aspects of the business were thoroughly covered in great detail with easy to understand questions and answers . . . you did a great job and I really appreciate your time and effort in teaching us to be better servers.”
B. Martin GEORGE MARTIN RESTAURANTS
“Very informative. Jim has done his homework. Not bad as a refresher. Probably would or should be used as a beginning training course.”
J. Albig BK SWEENEY’s
“I found the seminar helpful and I can’t wait to try these new and useful hints for both waitressing and hostessing.”
K. Fives BK SWEENEY’s
“Great stories...great examples...great interaction!”
D. Neyman PANCHO'S RESTAURANTS
“At least waking up on a Sunday morning wasn’t topped off by a trainer with the personality of a dead fish!
You were fun and that's who learn from -- fun ones!”
K. Greenbay CAFE SPASO
“I have been employed here for eight years. Needless to say, we have had many meetings and this is by far the most beneficial three hours ever spent at Mahoney’s. Whether I stay here, or eventually move one to another restaurant, I will be sure to use all of your techniques to the fullest.”
M. Bodo MAHONEY’s
