Kate Buhler, founder and president of Profitable to Train, is a leading expert in hospitality service excellence and profitability. With decades of experience across luxury brands including Four Seasons, Ritz-Carlton, Rosewood Hotels & Resorts, Baccarat, Peninsula, and Bulgari, Kate is known for her unique approach to training that drives both employee satisfaction and financial success. Her new book, Inhospitable: Lessons Learned from a Lifetime in Service, tackles a critical question in the industry: why is great service often so hard to come by?
In this episode, Dean Arun Upneja engages in a thought-provoking conversation with Kate about the evolving landscape of hospitality, the critical role of the human touch in a tech-driven world, and how her “Profitable to Train” method helps businesses unlock untapped potential.
