点评:As a person who never writes a review, I am writing to express my deep disappointment and frustration with the recent experience I had with Alpana Singh, the owner herself. I feel compelled to share my experience in the hope that it will shed light on the unprofessional customer service I encountered.
Initially, I reached out to Alpana's catering department via email to make a reservation for a large party of 20 people. I received a prompt email confirming the restaurant was available to accommodate my party on the requested date and time. Naturally, I was thrilled and proceeded to coordinate the entire group, even releasing a previous reservation elsewhere.
However, my excitement quickly turned to dismay when I received an email the following day, stating that there had been a mistake, and the date was no longer available. This was incredibly disappointing, considering the effort I had put into organizing such a large gathering. Despite this setback, I believed it was necessary to call and speak with a manager to express my disappointment and seek a resolution. Maybe an offering for a different day, the option to split my group into multiple tables, etc.
However, the person I spoke with on the phone, who I thought was the manager, exhibited a shocking lack of professionalism and empathy. Instead of acknowledging the mistake and offering a solution, she responded in a nasty, rude, and dismissive manner. She even said, "what do you want me to do, expand the restaurant?" Moreover, when my phone accidentally got disconnected during the call and I called back wanting to escalate it to higher management, the woman identified herself as Alpana, the owner. This behavior was even more disheartening, as it revealed a lack of accountability and disregard for customer satisfaction.
During our conversation, she dominated the entire conversation and refused to let me speak or explain my concerns. She abruptly cut me off and said, "I don't know what you want me to do, we're booked" and when I asked if she'd give me an opportunity to get a word in, she cut me off and said, "at this point, I don't want your business here" and hung up the phone leaving me shocked and appalled. As a fellow business owner, I cannot fathom treating any potential customer with such disrespect. Basic customer service principles dictate empathy, understanding, and a willingness to find alternative solutions. Unfortunately, this was not the case at Alpana.
I understand that negative reviews may not hold much significance for some establishments, but it is my sincere hope that this review reaches the right audience and brings attention to the unprofessional behavior I encountered. I intend to share my experience with every person in my network, as I believe it is crucial to inform others of the treatment, they may receive at Alpana.
I genuinely hope that this feedback prompts Alpana Singh to reflect on the importance of customer service and its impact on her business. It is my wish that no other customer has to endure such dismissive and abrasive treatment in the future.
I hope they will address this matter appropriately and take the necessary steps to ensure a more positive experience for any future patrons.

翻译:作为一个从不写评论的人,我写这封信是为了表达我最近与餐厅老板 Alpana Singh 的相处经历的深深失望和沮丧。我感到有必要分享我的经历,希望它能让我了解我遇到的不专业的客户服务。
最初,我通过电子邮件联系了 Alpana 的餐饮部门,为 20 人的大型聚会预订座位。我收到了一封及时的电子邮件,确认餐厅可以在要求的日期和时间接待我的聚会。我自然很高兴,并着手协调整个团队,甚至在其他地方取消了之前的预订。
然而,当我第二天收到一封电子邮件时,我的兴奋很快变成了沮丧,邮件说发生了错误,日期不再可用。考虑到我为组织如此大型的聚会所付出的努力,这真是令人失望。尽管遭遇了这种挫折,但我认为有必要打电话和经理谈谈,表达我的失望并寻求解决方案。也许是改天提供餐点,或者将我的团队分成多张桌子等。
然而,我打电话时与之交谈的人,我以为是经理,却表现出令人震惊的专业素养和同理心的缺乏。她没有承认错误并提供解决方案,而是以一种令人不快、粗鲁和轻蔑的态度回应。她甚至说:“你想让我做什么,扩大餐厅规模吗?”此外,当我的电话在通话过程中意外断线时,我回拨电话想将此事上报给更高管理层,这位女士自称是老板 Alpana。这种行为更令人沮丧,因为它表明她缺乏责任感,无视客户满意度。
在我们的谈话中,她主导了整个谈话,拒绝让我说话或解释我的担忧。她突然打断了我的话,说:“我不知道你想让我做什么,我们已经预约满了。”当我问她是否愿意给我一个插话的机会时,她打断了我的话,说:“现在我不想在这里做你的生意。”然后挂断了电话,让我感到震惊和震惊。作为一名企业主,我无法想象以如此不尊重的态度对待任何潜在客户。基本的客户服务原则要求同理心、理解和愿意寻找替代解决方案。不幸的是,Alpana 的情况并非如此。
我明白负面评论对一些机构来说可能没有多大意义,但我真诚地希望这篇评论能够传达给正确的受众,并引起人们对我遇到的不专业行为的关注。我打算与我网络中的每个人分享我的经历,因为我认为让其他人知道他们在 Alpana 可能会受到的待遇至关重要。
我真诚地希望这个反馈能促使 Alpana Singh 反思客户服务的重要性及其对她的业务的影响。我希望以后不会再有其他顾客遭受如此冷漠和粗暴的对待。
我希望他们能妥善处理此事,并采取必要措施,确保未来顾客获得更积极的体验。
