That can be a turn off,and at this moment,a customer can decide to wait or leave.

Surely this would create a room in acustomer’s heart for you,courtesy of hosipitality save for the delay.
It will make a customer feel more powerful and prevent him from exploring other alternatives,right?
Honest communication, despite slight service delay would still give a 99% customer decision in your favour
Truth be told honesty is under natural law, stand for what is right in serving your customers.
And will go a long way in creating more connections in a chain reaction order when building a business continuity despite the competitive businesss environment.
More so earning you a reputable market share to reckon with.
By and large,whether big or small companies,this honesty value, laced with effective communication, giving timely feed back and being mindful of your
consumer’s needs is free magic in thriving in a competitive environment.
