Mayor salutes Rotorua waitress for the KiaOraMai Awesome Service Award
10 Oct 2011
The Boulevard Restaurant waitress was nominated for the national customer service award for outstanding service by visitor Marilyn Guinan. Mrs Guinan and a group of fellow Mahjong players have been coming to the city for a national Mahjong tournament for four years and have dined at the Boulevard Restaurant each year. She says that each year the group has been impressed by Ms Todd's friendly, efficient service, and her great personality and way with people. Mayor Winters presented Ms Todd with her award on behalf of the city and KiaOraMai organisers, and said a number of attributes related to her nomination impressed him. "One is the obvious constituency of Bellamarie's customer care of this group of visitors over four years. I reflect on how many other visitors to Rotorua and the Boulevard Restaurant have also left with equally pleasant impressions of her, the restaurant, and therefore Rotorua as a destination. My guess is quite a number. "Her customer service ethic has become a great advertisement for Rotorua." Auckland Chamber of Commerce chief executive Michael Barnett selects monthly KiaOraMai Awesome Service Award winners on behalf of the New Zealand Chambers of Commerce. Ms Todd becomes one of just 12 KiaOraMai Awesome Service Award winners across New Zealand over 2011.
