Our Core Values


Success at Boyd is an ongoing, everyday commitment to our guests, our fellow team members, and our communities.

It takes everyone working with a single goal, a single vision, a single VIEW.

Value Relationships

Make an Authentic Connection

Create a Welcoming Environment
  • Greet guests in a genuine and friendly manner; with a smile and eye contact
  • Demonstrate the 10/5 Rule
  • Make an extra effort to reach out to guests you don’t know as well as you would our most frequent guests
  • Handle every guest situation with a great attitude
  • Demonstrate open body language

Know Your Guest
  • Use the guest’s name (when known), or ask if it is not known
  • Engage guests in conversation
  • Ask questions and find clues to build a connection
  • Wear your name badge and introduce yourself when appropriate
  • Ensure that the guest knows your name

Bring them Back
  • Offer a warm farewell
  • Say “thank you” and show appreciation for their business
  • Check for satisfaction and resolve any issues before the guest leaves
  • Invite the guest to return


Integrity

Do the Right Thing

Take Pride

Show Respect and Care for Everyone
  • Keep conversations professional and genuine
  • Demonstrate active listening

Be Honest
  • Communicate with sincerity and enthusiasm

Exceed Expectations

Offer the Extraordinary

Personalize the Guest Experience

  • Find ways to make their experience more special
  • Follow through

Go Above and Beyond

    • Your property including the physical layout, characteristics and offerings of restaurants
    • Details of promotions and events
    • Boyd Gaming
  • “Ask if you don’t know,” or escort, when appropriate, the guest to someone who can help them with the answer

Own the Experience

  • Find a way to say “Yes”

Working as a Team
