Singapore, 8 December 2022 – This afternoon, the nation saluted its dedicated F&B workforce and presented the top accolade of Superstar to one of six finalists at the Excellent Service Award (EXSA) 2022, organised by the Restaurant Association of Singapore (RAS). At the same event, winners from a total of 36 companies were also honoured with the Excellent Service Award (EXSA).
The proud occasion held at the NTUC Centre Auditorium, One Marina Boulevard, was graced by the presence of Guest-of-Honour, Ms Low Yen Ling, Minister of State, Ministry of Culture, Community and Youth & Ministry of Trade and Industry. More than 500 guests were present to witness the memorable event.
The winner and finalists under the Superstar category were recognised for their outstanding work and for having gone beyond the call of duty to deliver exceptional service and create memorable experiences for their diners and customers.
They are shiny examples of excellent frontline service crew who are often also the restaurant’s brand ambassador and the face of the restaurant. The Award seeks to inspire excellence in the service industry by identifying role models and recognising their efforts. It is hoped that their exemplary performance will inspire their fellow service crew and new recruits alike to scale newer heights and encourage more Singaporeans to join the service industry.
Launched in 1994, the EXSA is a national award that recognises individuals who deliver quality service. It seeks to develop service models for staff to emulate and to create service champions. Organisations participating in EXSA are committed to achieve service excellence.
