Chapter 2: The Secret Guest Program
Three weeks later, Ethan announced a company-wide initiative that surprised every executive.
Every Vance hotel would receive anonymous inspectors.
Not professional auditors.
Not luxury consultants.
Instead...
Single parents.
Military veterans.
Elderly travelers.
Families with disabled children.
Construction workers.
Teachers.
People who looked completely ordinary.
No employee would know who they were.
Each visitor would simply report one thing:
"How did the staff treat me before they knew anything about me?"
Some executives protested.
"This could hurt our luxury image."
Ethan calmly replied,
"If kindness damages our brand...
...then we never deserved our reputation."
The program spread across every property.
