🏨 AI Training for Hotel and Restaurant Employees
Most hotel and restaurant work happens between people. AI can’t replace face-to-face service, but it can save a lot of time before and after it: multilingual guest notices, online review replies, complaint responses, promotional copy, and training materials.
With high staff turnover and a constant need to serve guests in other languages, quickly building standard templates that new hires can use from day one pays off especially well. This program uses your own reviews and guest notices as course material.
What AI actually does in hotels and restaurants
These are the tasks you practice in training. We work with real documents from your company, collected in advance, not another company’s examples.
| Task | What you do with AI |
|---|---|
| Multilingual notices and signage copy | How to have AI translate room guides, facility information, and menu descriptions into English, Chinese, and Japanese while keeping your brand voice. |
| Online review reply drafts | Practice drafting replies for positive and critical reviews, and personalizing them so they don’t read as copy-pasted. |
| Complaint response scripts | Build step-by-step response scripts from real complaint cases, and list the phrases to avoid. |
| Promotion and menu copy | Generate multiple versions of seasonal promotions, package descriptions, and menu copy, sized for each channel. |
| Shift schedules and handover notes | Organize shift handover notes into a set format and pull out recurring issues. |
| New-hire training materials and service manuals | Turn on-the-floor know-how into manuals and checklists that new hires can actually read. |
What we always factor in when designing hotel and dining training
These are the points where a generic office-worker curriculum falls flat.
Never enter guest data — Guest lists, contact details, and payment information are off-limits. In review-reply exercises, we remove personally identifiable information first.
Losing your brand voice backfires — Replies that sound AI-written get noticed right away in reviews. We always cover how to build your brand voice rules into your prompts.
No time to spare during service hours — Splitting sessions into 1–2 hour blocks around break times or the off-season works best.
Curriculum ① All-employee and practitioner track
Half-day (4-hour) agenda
Audience All office and administrative staff, from team members to team leads. It’s fine if more than half have never used AI.
Goal Everyone leaves having handed one real task from their own desk to AI.
| # | Module | Details | hours |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | What works and what doesn’t right now | In one session, we compare how ChatGPT, Gemini, and Claude differ in real work and what you get with paid plans versus free ones. It is not a tool showcase. It gives you what you need to decide which tools to turn on for your company account. | 30 min |
| 2 | Giving AI instructions — the 4 elements of a prompt | Role, context, format, verification. The difference between people who use AI well and those who don't is not talent but whether they leave out one of these four. We give the same task a poor instruction and a good one, and compare the results side by side. | 45 min |
| 3 | Six practical uses for hotels and dining | This session is the heart of the course. We collect real documents from your company in advance and practice with them. With another company’s examples, what you learn doesn’t follow you back to your desk.
| 55 min |
| 4 | Creating documents — from draft to approval | We take reports, internal approval memos, and emails from first draft to final version, always finishing by stripping out the AI tone and rewriting them in your organization’s own voice. | 40 min |
| 5 | Working with data — tables, meeting notes, long documents | Organizing Excel tables, summarizing meeting recordings, and finding just the clauses you need in long policy documents. This is where the tasks people used to spend the most time on get faster. | 35 min |
| 6 | What not to do — confidential information, hallucinations, copyright | What must never go into an AI tool, how to catch facts the AI makes up, and how far you can use its output under your company’s name. Skip this session, and the training itself can lead to an incident.
| 35 min |
Program ② Executive and team lead track
Standard format for a 2-hour session
Audience Executives, division heads, team leads and other managers — leaders who need to know 'what needs deciding' rather than how to use the tools themselves.
Goal To leave the room with clear decisions on what to do first and what to prohibit when bringing AI into the organization.
| # | Module | Details | hours |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Where you stand today | We cover only what has actually changed in the past year. Not technology forecasts, but what is already happening inside companies — starting from the fact that employees are already using AI. | 30 min |
| 2 | Where hotels and dining change first | The same technology hits each industry in a different place. We identify which tasks in this sector change first.
| 35 min |
| 3 | How to adopt AI — start with tasks, not tools | If you start by buying accounts, most go unused within three months. We flip the order: choose the tasks first, then measure the results. | 30 min |
| 4 | Four decisions leaders must make | What is allowed, what is prohibited, tools and budget, and how to measure results. You leave with draft wording written that same day. | 25 min |
Training hours and cost
Estimated fees are based on our published standard rates (Korean-language delivery, up to 30 participants per class). 2026 published standard rates, in units of KRW 10,000 (≈ US$7). VAT, materials, travel, and customization are extra.
| Format | Format | Estimated fee |
|---|---|---|
| 2-hour lecture | We condense this into the first three modules (the tool landscape · the 4 elements of a prompt · industry use cases). The goal: 'Try at least one thing before you leave.' | About KRW 1.2 million (≈ US$900) |
| 4-hour half-day workshop | All six modules, with half the time spent on hands-on practice. The format most clients choose. | About KRW 2.4 million (≈ US$1,800) |
| 8-hour full-day program | Six modules (240 minutes) plus 240 minutes of team practice and presentations. Each team picks one of its own tasks and finishes it that same day. | About KRW 4 million (≈ US$2,990) |
Sessions in English are KRW 800,000 (≈ US$600) per hour. Multi-session programs and public-sector or tender projects are priced separately — contact us for details.
Is it eligible for Korean employment insurance reimbursement?
Nanum Consulting’s on-site training is not an Employment Insurance reimbursement (employer-commissioned training) program.
To receive an employment insurance refund, training must be delivered as commissioned training under a course approved by the Ministry of Employment and Labor. Nanum Consulting does not hold training course approval, so our on-site training is not eligible for refunds.
If a refund is a requirement for budget approval, please tell us when you first contact us. We will point you to a route that fits that requirement, and if we are not the right fit, we will say so. Learning after you have started that no refund is available is far worse for both sides.
Budgets often work out without a refund. A 2-hour session at KRW 1.2 million (≈ US$900) comes to KRW 40,000 (≈ US$30) per person for 30 participants, and is fully deductible as a training expense. Refund-eligible courses must follow a fixed standard curriculum, but without a refund we can build the curriculum around your own work and real documents.

Is it useful for frontline service staff too?
Won’t AI-written review replies be obvious?
Full-day training is hard to fit around operations.
