Methodology As already mentioned before, in this project the main focus will be on service delivery system and customers satisfactio n. Our main goal is to represent the Radiations Blue Elmsford Hotel in Labor by using primary and secondary data and two theoretical frameworks.Furthermore, based on our gathered information we are going to analyze what exactly customers are complaining about. And finally we will try to make a solution of which the hotel could benefit. We will concentrate on service delivery system and how it should be improved. Theoretical Frameworks In this project we are going to use two theoretical frameworks. The first one is Service Management Model (SMS model), which will help us to represent precisely the Radiations Blue Elmsford Hotel in Labor and also present what toll has to offer to their potential customers.The second one is bed cover model Diagnosing Failure Gaps in Service Quality.

The market segment Radiations Blue Limited hotel does not have a precise market segment. However, jibe to www. Trapdoors. Com, 96 customers was visiting hotel for business purpose, which is 53% of all 180 reviews. Besides, in the official website of the hotel it is emphasized that there are available rooms for business conferences.

Besides, Labor train station is 750 meters away and Labor airport is 6 kilometers away, which says that market segment focuses not only on local visitors, but on distant as well.Radiations Blue Elmsford hotel is a part of Radiations Hotel Group, which makes the enterprise of hotel to be the part of international group. 6 Speaking about customers visiting enterprise, they are expecting what hotel says it can provide. However, Radiations Blue Elmsford hotel does not meet customers expectations and that is way hotel has complaints. The service concept The service concept often consists of a complex set of values, where some products are more important and may be called heart services, wh ile others are peripheral.Also there are both tangible and intangible services, which is he reason why often it is challenging to specify them in concrete form. The service enterprise Radiations Blue Elmsford hotel sells the rent of the rooms, food and drinks at the restaurant Ever Gusto, play of the games (e. G. B deprivationjack, poker) at the Casino Labor and other hotel facilities, such as wireless internet, room service or sauna. All of these services are intangible, except food and drinks at the restaurant. The core product in Radiations Blue Limned hotel is the rent of the rooms. This is the most common service that customers of the hotel buy.Meanwhile customers interaction with other customers can be seen waiting in the line in reception, playing games in casino and eating at the restaurant. In conclusion, customers copulation operates through complaints, reviews, recommendations and interaction with other customers. The service delivery System Service delivery system depen ds from three subcomponents personnel, client and technology and physical support. Service organizations are personality-intensive, which means they are focusing on developing human resources.Client plays and complex persona in the service 7 5th edition Marketing for hospitality and tourism page 231, What Is A Product? 8 organization, since he not only receives and consumes the service but also serves as a component in Its production and delivery. Thus, in a service business, clients must be selected and managed as cautiously as employees. Finally, services almost always involve social interactions and physical tools are critical to the functioning of such interactive systems. It is difficult to describe this part due to it is the with child(p)gest problem in Radiations Blue Elmsford hotel.In this part we will describe how hotel is represented in the official website of the hotel. Physical evidence and technology plays a big role as it is grand chain hotel. Exterior of the hotel is good-looking, but interior needs renovation. However, hotel from the inside on the official website looks attractive as well. Customers claims (www. Trapdoors. Com), that in definite rooms smell is not pleasant and because of the street Comfort Anne Gad it is noisy during the nights. On the website it is emphasized, that rooms are modern. Also it states that room services are available 12 hours per day.Service delivery system does not meet needs and expectations expressed by the customers. Customers interact with service delivery system while tell the room, buying food and drinks, during check in and check out and during room services. However, guests are complaining about employees. It means that personnel have a lack of knowledge how to deliver sciences, when there should work well-trained employees. The image The image mainly depends on what company actually provides and who the customers actually are. Although, deviating from current reality, image can be used as toll for t he creation of a new reality.Radiations Hotel Group has a good reputation worldwide, however its part Radiations Blue Limited does not have a positive opinion from the customers ho has visited this hotel. Considering all information on official website, we think that this hotel is presented as luxurious grand chain hotel and this image is attempted to be establish in the market. Logo of this hotel says Radiations Blue, Hotels & resorts. Radiations is the name of the founder of this group. Hotels & resorts is the name of one of the brands that Radiations group owns. And Elmsford is the name of the fjord that is next to the hotel. The weapon Of Radiations Blue Elmsford hotel is well-design, it is easy to use. There is provided all information about hotel (e. G. Rooms, services, history ND price), where guests can search for 8 Radiations History 2014, available from http//www. W. Radiations. Com/section/ about. Story/about. Sidemen, accessed on 1 2 of December 9 other Radiations Blue h otels as well. The service enterprise wants their customers to recognize them. And it is already achieved Radiations Blue operates more than 230 hotels in the whole world and it is worldwide known group.The culture and philosophy The efficiency of the service organization depends on its culture and philosophy, which shape and rejuvenate the very values and ethos on which the company thrives. The main value for Radiations Blue Elmsford hotel is customer satisfaction. As already mentioned in our project, Radiations Blue Limned Hotel is a part of Resized Hotel group, which is working with Yes Can special customer satisfaction pogrom since 1995. It is a core service philosophy, reflecting and powering commitment to always offer alternatives taking in to consideration guests, supplies, personnel and community.This programmer is applied to all Resized groups and it is a tradition of innovative and contemporary service concepts, based on customer needs. 9 5. 2 GAP model In order to expla in the GAP model itself, it is easier to start with defining and explaining the basic knowledge needed to successfully understand the model. The main purpose of GAP model is to define the service forest that is provided by certain company or organization towards their customers or clients. Logically we should start with explain what the type and service quality is.There are many definitions of what service quality is, so in this case we decided to not stick with only one but many other theories of different researchers and scientists as we think it suits for our project the most. Many scientists and researchers are trying to develop certain definition of service quality and service perspective. Garmorons presented his research about service quality which focuses on a model that is a comparison between customer expectations of the service and their experience of the service they have received before. This model is named total sensed service quality.He puts the main focus on what c ustomer is really looking for and what they evaluate, the service quality is 9 OUR CULTURE 201 3, available from http//move.

The first dimension is the technical quality and this dimension refers to the outcome, what is delivered or what the customer test from the service.
