Quality Awareness


Explanation:
Many American service oriented industries, mostly hospitality (horeca) have those snappy "team" spirit sayings.
"Safety first"
"Service with a smile"
you know others.
However, this has been creeping to Europe for a while, but I'm not aware of how applicable this suggestion may be for you.

(an) eye for quality


Explanation:
This isn't a new idea, I like to talk about the background.

"eye for quality" isn't the same as "an eye for quality". In het Nederlands ook niet.

Oog voor kwaliteit is een algemeen kenmerk. Een oog voor kwaliteit, klinkt in het Nederlands vreemder dan in het Engels, maar ook daar voel ik een verschil. Ook lijkt quality awareness van Cauljim te winnen, het doet moderner en preciezer aan.

Ik vergat er bij te schrijven. In het Nederlands zeggen we- \"Ze hebben het gedaan met een oog op kwaliteit.

In het Engels is de slogan \"eye for quality\" nearly like a name,
for instrance the name of a shop. And then it can become \"the eye for quality\" and late of course \"the eye\".

Maar \"eye for quality\" zou ook de naam kunnen zijn van een onderzoek. Please, can you hand me \"the eye\".
