Personalised service matters

“Service,” says Gent Xhafolli, “means for me, that we are always flexible, that we respond to our guests’ wishes, that we are always present and give our best.” To ensure that his service staff spends less time processing payments and more time providing guests with a personalised service, Xhafolli relies on luca Pay. At La Gondola Due, a luca QR code is printed with each receipt. Guests scan the code with their luca app and make the payment independently.

Smooth processes and culinary experiences that keep surprising the guests: To be able to provide both, the kitchen team trains once a year at a workshop in Italy. Together with a top chef, the team members develop a few new finesses for the guests of La Gondola Due to enjoy.
