Hospitality Ministry - People usually don't go where they aren't welcome. It's just the way we are. Every Sabbath, our churches should have their welcome mats out with their doors wide open to all who wish to come.
In the business world, hospitality is not left to chance. Most managers understand that providing quality customer care is directly related to their ability to stay in business.
