Mr. John,
ReplyDeleteRecently I went to your restaurant for the first time. I had a gruesome experience with the fish and prawns i ordered. They were not cleaned and cooked properly. I come from a hotel business and I am not a novice. The ads on the media is illusion. As a valued customer I am not going to endorse such a hypocrite restaurant.

Hello Mr. Joe,
I have come to your restaurant a week back. I have endorsed your restaurant a lot and wanted to let you know about the bad experience I had. I came with my friends to your restaurant and we found rats running around. It was a gruesome experience. I have been to various restaurants , I am idealistic person who values rules. This experience has impacted my trust on your restaurant which implies the restaurant is not well maintained. This has become an obstacle to come back to your restaurant. Hope you could fix it as early possible , so we can enjoy the dishes in your restaurant once again.

Good afternoon Mrs. Marie.
ReplyDeleteHope you are doing well. Through a research I came to know that you are the Manager of Xyz Rasturant in Rosenberg TX. The purpose of this letter is to bring in your kind knowledge about the hypocrisy your team showed dyring our visit. I am not a novice in your resturaunt. Food was extremely tasteless and unhygienc . My friend who is an idealistic about food complained but no one respond. So, I am writing it you about the gruesome experience we had during our dinner. It will creat a huge impact on your Resturants image these reviews will creat an obsctle in its success. I hope you will look into this matter.
Regards.

Subject: Food and customer services complaint letter.
I am a diamond customer with registration number 4567. This complaint letter is to report my bad experience during my recent visit to your restaurant. The customer service of the waiters is gruesome and novice, because they do not know the menu and I had to ask for water in my glass twice. I also requested a seafood dish and it was an illusion of food, since it was like for my pet. You have stood out for the good service, do not let this continue to happen and impact to withdraw me from being a member.
Thank you for the attention.

To,
ReplyDeleteThe Restaurant Owner,
Elite Indo-Pak Restaurant,
I visited your restaurant last week for the first time with my friend. I've seen many Instagram accounts endorse your restaurant. But it's just an illusion. We tried Chicken biryani, Chicken Tikka Leg and Tilapia Fish. Any of the dish was not properly cooked. I had a gruesome experience especially with fish because it smelled very bad. When we complained about it to the server to exchange it, but she didn't do that. I am not going to refer such a hypocrite restaurant to any of my friends because of the service you provided. I hope you fix all the issues, so that it won't impact your reputation.
Thank you.

To the Manager,
ReplyDeleteWe came to your XYZ restaurant to have a family dinner. As a customer who has an idealistic view, I want to endorse with a good review but it was my illusion that a new restaurant will have delicious food. Instead it just eroded my taste and feeling towards the food that I had at that time. The food was looking fantastic but it was a gruesome experience after having too much spice in food even though I acknowledged the waiter not to make it spicy. I want you to imply that please provide good service by listening to our orders correctly. This way you will have less obstacles than expected, if you understand the taste of customers by listening to their preferences.
Thank you

To the restaurant manager, i visited the restaurant on last weekend, carrying the illusion in my mind that the service and food would be amazing. But I realized how hypocritical public’s reviews can be. So many of my friends implied that I should visit your restaurant but, i really doubt their choice now. All the employees were behaving as if they were all novice. I always endorse local restaurant owners but this time, I’m so disappointed.
