FAQs

What is the 10 and 5 rule? ›

The idea behind the 10:5 rule is that anytime you find yourself within 10 feet (3 meters) of someone, you should smile and make eye contact. When you are within 5 feet (1.5 meters) of someone, you should greet them with a friendly hello or other greeting.

And this is where the 10-5 Rule comes in. This simple rule was created by Patrick Quinlan, then CEO of Ochsner Health System. "If you're within 10 feet of someone, you make eye contact and smile, and if you're within five feet, you say hello," she says.

At 10 feet: Look up from what you are doing and acknowledge the guest with direct eye contact and a nod. At 5 feet: Smile, with your lips and eyes. At 3 feet*: Verbally greet the guest and offer a time-of-day greeting (“Good morning”).

The '10 and five' rule in hospitality says that staff coming within 10 feet of a guest should smile and make eye contact, while those coming within five feet should add a warm verbal greeting.

What is the 10 4 rule in hospitality? ›
