Franchising, retail, business

Owners and managers are sometimes blinkered as to the actual experiences being had by their customers as they delegate more and do the “top level” thinking. With this in mind, now is a good time to sit down with your staff and remind them of this list of 20 things they should never do.
Hide the service charge. If there is a service charge, alert your guests when you present the bill. It’s not a secret or a trick.
Be unfamiliar with anything sold. Know your menu inside and out. When you serve a Chocolate Guinness Cake, know something about Guinness!
Allow double-ordering. Do not let guests double?order unintentionally; remind the guest who orders french fries with their roast beef that it is served with french fries already.
Ignore the special. If there is a Special of the Day, let guests know about it. Do not force anyone to ask for the “special” menu.
Ignore another staff member’s table. Do not ignore a table in the bar because it is not your table. Stop, look, listen, lend a hand. (Whether tips are pooled or not.)
Force customers to beg. Bring the pepper grinder with the starters. Do not make people wait or beg for a condiment.
Make judgmental faces. Do not bring judgment with the tomato sauce. Or mustard. Or Tabasco. Or whatever condiment is requested.
Leave place settings that are not being used. Don’t make a customer feel like they should have company or that they are inferior for not filling a table with friends.
Drip feed the table. Bring all the starters at the same time, or do not bring the starters. Same with main course and desserts.
Stand behind someone who is ordering. Make eye contact. Thank him or her.

L’idea di creare un blog giornaliero per il mondo del retail nasce grazie ai continui feedback positivi che riceviamo dalle notizie condivise attraverso diversi canali.
Rivolto a tutte le tipologie di distribuzione presenti sul mercato: dal dettaglio ai grandi mall, dal commercio locale e nazionale alle catene di negozi internazionali, investitori, ai nostri fedeli clienti e chiunque altro è realmente interessato allo studio e all'approfondimento su ciò che guida il comportamento dei consumatori. E' anche un blog per tutti coloro i quali lavorano già nel mondo del Retail.
Verranno condivise le loro esperienze, le loro attitudini e le loro experties. Un blog di condivisione, quindi.
Ospitato sul sito della BRD Consulting, che da decenni lavora nel mondo distributivo Italiano ed Internazionale, il blog Store in & out riguarderà il business, i marchi e i comportamenti d'acquisto propri di alcune delle più grandi aziende.
Ci saranno anche notizie in lingua originale per dare evidenza dell’attenzione della nostra Azienda nei confronti del global.
È possibile raggiungere lo staff a: info@brdconsulting.it
