SAN FRANCISCO AND FARMINGTON HILLS, MICH—SEPT. 11, 2013

In an effort to introduce its students to innovative technologies that are changing how hotels manage the guest experience, University of San Francisco (USF)’s hospitality management program is now including Logi- Serve’s online employee assessment technology into its coursework.

USF’s hospitality management department is known as the premier boutique hospitality program for preparing students to the global hospitality industry that places a high premium on the treatment and loyalty of guests. By incorporating Logi-Serve, USF is underscoring the unique innovation that the Logi-Serve solution brings to the industry and its importance for future managers.

Dr. David L. Jones, the program’s administrative director, noted that, the hospitality industry is sharply focused on the importance of controlling turnover costs, while driving guest loyalty through top service standards and still maintain a profitable operation.

“Future success will require deploying new technologies that bring greater levels of scientific rigor and analysis to the hotel management industry,” Jones said. “Logi-Serve is an outstanding example of how technology is being applied to our industry in ways that directly impact the bottom line.”

Logi-Serve, a technology innovator in analytics-based assessment tools, is built on an advanced story-boarding platform that combines visual role playing with a proprietary business-analytics system to help organizations reduce costs, increase sales and drive high levels of service quality. Uniquely suited to the hospitality industry, Logi-Serve is the Preferred Hotel Group’s exclusive assessment alliance partner in North America and has been selected to be showcased at the national HR Hospitality Conference.

Eric Krohner, Logi-Serve CEO said, “USF is showing leadership and vision in incorporating new technology tools like Logi- Serve into its curriculum. It understands that business students need to be comfortable with the latest tools that can be deployed to aid in developing a workforce that delivers on the promise of quality guest experiences and improving employee performance.”
