Why Every Restaurant and Hotel Needs a Trivia Host for Employee Engagement

Running a restaurant or managing a hotel isn’t just about great food, stunning ambiance, or five-star service. It’s about the people—your employees—who bring the magic to life every single day. If your team isn’t engaged, your guests will notice. And that’s where I come in. As a trivia host for employee engagement, I’ve spent over 30 years in entertainment, including radio, TV, and live hosting, helping businesses create environments where employees actually want to stay, contribute, and thrive.

I’ve worked with major brands like Marriott, Mattel, and the Phoenix Suns, creating unforgettable moments that boost morale and retention. But don’t just take my word for it—let’s talk about how a high-energy trivia experience can transform your staff and your business.

Why Trivia Works for Hospitality Staff

Let’s be real: working in hospitality isn’t easy. It’s long hours, demanding guests, and fast-paced environments that can quickly drain even the best employees. But what if you could inject energy, competition, and fun into the work culture?

Trivia is more than just a game—it’s an engagement tool. It creates friendly competition, builds camaraderie, and gives employees something to look forward to beyond their shifts. Imagine your team bonding over hotel history, famous chefs, or cocktail mixology trivia, while having a blast and winning prizes. Suddenly, work isn’t just work—it’s an experience.

The Secret Sauce: How I Keep Teams Engaged

I’ve designed a one-of-a-kind trivia show that does more than entertain—it engages, retains, and energizes your employees like nothing else. Picture this:

✅ Custom questions tailored to your brand – Whether it’s fun facts about your restaurant’s history, hotel policies turned into exciting challenges, or general knowledge to sharpen your team’s wit, we make it relevant and interactive.

✅ High-energy hosting with music, sound effects, and real competition – This isn’t some sleepy bar trivia night. I bring game-show-style energy, music, and live hosting that keeps employees engaged and excited.

✅ Recognition and rewards – Trivia gives you a built-in way to recognize and appreciate your staff. Top performers? They get bragging rights. The whole team? They get a morale boost.

Real Results: Engaged Employees Stay Longer

Employee turnover in restaurants and hotels is higher than in almost any other industry. But engaged employees? They stay, perform better, and create an incredible guest experience. Trivia helps reduce burnout, foster teamwork, and make employees feel valued.

Think about it: when employees are having fun, they’re more productive, friendlier with guests, and more likely to stick around. And isn’t that exactly what every hotel or restaurant needs?
