THIS WILL BE THE HEADLINE IN EVERY GAZETTE UNTIL WE HAVE A WEEK WITH NO MISTAKES! No matter how busy you are, it is MANDATORY that you read EACH TICKET out loud to the guest as you hand them over. We’ve had a LOT of people this past week purchasing NON-Magic Kingdom tickets and getting MAGIC KINGDOM tickets. We also had ADULTS getting CHILDREN’S tickets. This is UNACCEPTABLE!!! You MUST read each ticket OUT LOUD to the guest as you hand them over – PLEASE!!!!!!
ASK THE AGES OF THE CHILDREN
When a guest tells you they have children, you MUST ask the ages. Just this week we had a guest USE a Disney ticket for a 2 year old and now they want their money back and we will have to charge that employee. Ask EVERY age so if they have a 13 year old, they will have to pay for an Adult ticket and if they have a 2 year old, they will NOT need a ticket.
SEA WORLD PRICING OPTIONS
Does everyone know the difference between Gate Prices and our price? We give $10 off the gate price on Saturday/Sunday tickets and $27 off for Weekday tickets. Weekday tickets are NOT available at the gate. Now if someone asks you about the ONLINE prices, we match them. If someone asks for a Sea World ticket, your response should be “Would you like to add Aquatica for only $2?” That’s right. $2! They can get the combo for $99, which is $2 more than the gate price for Sea World. And then if they accept that, you should say, “You can also add Busch Gardens for only $20 More!”. You would then sell them the 3 Park Combo. This is the way to UPGRADE sales and make more money!
UNIFORMS ARE MANDATORY
This is a reminder that the AGS shirts are mandatory and MUST be worn Mon – Sat. Nametags MUST be worn at all times. Anyone not wearing uniforms will be let go.
DISNEY CONVENTION TICKETS
Anyone purchasing Disney conventions MUST either be here on business or in a convention or it must be the FAMILY of someone here in a meeting or convention. Please make sure you are asking these questions BEFORE selling the tickets. Disney DOES shop our locations and anyone not qualifying guests before selling the tickets will be reprimanded.
RENTAL CARS – TERMINATIONS
Remember that our preferred rental car company is Dollar with backups of Action and Enterprise. All car rental reservations must be entered into the POS in Category A23. A voucher must be filled out completely including customer name, room #, car rental company contact #, reservation number, and any comments such as rental rate, pick-up date, and # of days. These should be added into the note section of the voucher. Dollar has agreed to secret shop all of our locations in person and by phone to make sure all employees are following procedures. Anyone not following procedures or not having payments go through the office will be terminated.
COMPUTER USAGE AT THE LOCATIONS – BUSINESS ONLY I apologize if this is going to cause any inconvenience, however the AGS computers are ONLY to be used for business purposes. This is important for several reasons including but not limited to additional fees incurred for data usage and viruses from social media sites. However, we do want you to utilize the computer to find information for customers. Google is a wonderful tool in case you do not know the answer to something. When a computer gets a virus, not only does it slow the speed but it can cause down time for you and your co-workers. Please concentrate on the customers in your lobby and stop stalking your friends & family on Facebook!
CREDIT CARD SLIPS
Remember, you must write on every credit card slip what was purchased, the room number and the ID number. When sending credit card slips to the office in your deposit envelope, here’s how they should be: 1) The Batch Settlement should be on the VERY top; 2) The Detail Report should be underneath that; and 3) The individual slips should be put in ascending order with the 1st transaction followed by the 2nd and so on. ALL OF THESE SLIPS NEED TO BE STAPLED TOGETHER IN THIS ORDER. Some of you are just sending them in loose. We have to have them STAPLED in this order.
LOG SHEETS –FILL OUT / STAPLE
Please make sure your log sheets are filled out entirely with the Disney EOD report printed on the back and the Product Sales Report STAPLED to the back of that with the printing showing out.
REFERRALS
We want to thank all of the concierges who have been supporting the vendors that participate in the AGS referral program. There are 2 places to find the approved vendors list – in the table of contents of the FunPak and in the Approved Vendor News Letter located on the AGS Homepage. Anyone handing out or displaying a referral card for an unauthorized vendor will be reprimanded. Thanks for your cooperation.
BETA TESTING POS – BANKS
We are testing some changes to the POS. Please DO NOT enter the number of bills in your starting bank until we tell you. Just leave all of those fields blank.
BUDGET YOUR MONEY!!!
We had some great checks these past 2 weeks. Budget your money because September is coming. Be prepared for this slow time by saving some of the money you are making now to get you through until October!
