In the capital, 'khadamat-e aali' is increasingly associated with Western-style efficiency and speed, especially in the tech sector. In these historic cities, 'khadamat-e aali' often includes a heavy dose of traditional poetry, local sweets, and elaborate Ta'arof. Persian-owned businesses abroad often use this phrase in their advertisements to signal to the community that they maintain high Iranian standards of hospitality.
