    Integrating a new Concierge into your household or establishment requires a period of adaptation. At Elite Butlers, we estimate that it takes approximately 7 to 15 days for a Concierge to fully adapt to the role, understand the specific needs and preferences of clients, and align with the culture of the establishment. During this period, the Concierge will:

    • Familiarize themselves with the unique needs, preferences, and expectations of clients or guests.
    • Establish connections with local service providers, ensuring they can offer the best recommendations and services.
    • Learn the household’s or establishment’s operational procedures, ensuring they can manage reservations, bookings, and other tasks efficiently.
    • Begin applying their customer service skills to deliver personalized, attentive service that meets the high standards of Elite Butlers and our clients.
