7. Hospitality Service life cycle
This model proposes that hospitality products and services move
through four successive stages: creation, growth, maturity, and
decline.
The time necessary to pass through the each stage varies.
The model has been extended to describe individual hotel
and restaurant firms and the entire hospitality industry as well,
Creation is the initial stage when the new business (or) product is
introduced to the market. The majority of offerings do not make it
past this stage (i.e., a spicy Mexican restaurant in northern Maine). It
is during this period that the marketplace judges its initial value.
Growth is marked by a rapid increase in size (volume of products sold
such as the number of hotel rooms or when additional restaurants
built).
8. Maturity reflects a stabilizing of size (sales, number of
employees, etc.).
The maturity stage may linger for quite a while, creating a cash cow
for the organization after it standardizes and streamlines operations.
Decline occurs when the organization begins to shrink in size.
Complete decline occurs when efforts to reenergize it fail or are not
implemented.
Unlike a biological entity, firms may occasionally move backward
from decline through their own rejuvenating actions.

7. Physical Evidence
10. Physical Evidence
Physical evidence refers to the environment in which the service is
assembled and in which the seller and customer interact, combined
with tangible commodities that facilitate performance or
communication of the service.
The physical evidence of service includes all the tangible
representations of service such as brochures, letterhead, business
cards, reports, signage, internet presence and equipment.
11. For example, in the hotel industry,
Design,
Furnishing,
Lighting,
Layout and decoration of the hotel
Appearance
Attitudes of its employees
Will influence customer perceptions of the service quality and
experiences.
Because of the simultaneous production and consumption of
most services, the physical facility i.e. its services capability
can play an important role in the service experience.
13. People
people are all people directly (or) indirectly involved in the service
encounter, namely the firm's contact employees, personnel and other
customers.
Contact employees contribute to service quality by creating a
favorable image for the firm, and by providing better service than the
competitions.
Service providers (such as hair stylists, personal
trainers, nurses, counselors and call centre personnel) are involved in
real time production of the service.
They are the “service”. Much of what makes a service special derives
from the fact that it is a lived-through event.
