Investor Visit Protocol

When an investor or owner visits The Lancey:

Recognition

  • Investor names are loaded in SevenRooms with a VIP soigné mark.
  • Host alerts the GM and assigned section immediately on arrival.
  • A complimentary first round is standard — bubbles or their preferred drink.

Service expectations

  • The MOD greets the table within 5 minutes of seating.
  • No comp without GM approval (investors get comped via house account, not server comp authority).
  • Standard service standards apply — no over-attention, no fawning. They're investors, not minor royalty.

Discretion

  • Other guests do not need to know.
  • Staff does not announce investor identities to other staff loudly.
  • Photos are off unless the investor initiates.

After the visit

The MOD logs the visit in the GM's daily log: party size, table, what was ordered, any notes.
