FOOD FOR THOUGHT THIS VALENTINE’S DAY

Customer service is an integral part of running a successful restaurant. It doesn’t matter how fabulous your new restaurant looks or how delicious the food is, if the service isn’t good, customers are not likely to return.

 

Valentine’s Day is reportedly the second-busiest day for restaurants in America, (behind Mother’s Day), as a restaurant owner, it is imperative that you tackle customer service from many different aspects.

HOW DO YOU DELIVER EXCELLENT CUSTOMER SERVICE AT YOUR RESTAURANT?

For a restaurant experience to be great, both the product and the service must score. A failure in either department often leads to a substandard experience. The server is incredible but the food is dry and stale. Bad experience. The food is amazing but the server simply can’t be bothered to refill your drink for the entire meal. Bad experience.

Too many restaurants fail on at least one level consistently. From restaurant cleanliness to brand management, running a restaurant necessitates a holistic experience that hits the customers on more than one level. That’s where BARE International comes in.

From fast food to gourmet fine dining establishments, BARE customer feedback programs, like our mystery guest visits can identify the key drivers at your establishment that are encouraging customer satisfaction and revisit intent. A customized formula of mystery calling and shopping, in-store and online audits, e-mailing, and mystery leads reveals how well your employees were trained and brand standards are executed.

FINAL COURSE (OF ACTION)

Restaurant customer service has many layers, and it is easy for leaders to get sidetracked by the operational details and to forget the fundamental service focus that is necessary for long term success. By leveraging BARE’s deep understanding of the restaurant industry this Valentine’s month, you can finally streamline operations, increase integrity, and improve the quality of customer service.

Let BARE International help your establishment leave a good taste in customer’s mouths, contact us to start the conversation today.

TOP 4 CXPECTATIONS IN 2023

As we move further into 2023, customer experience has become more important than ever before. With increased competition and consumer awareness, businesses that prioritize customer experience are more likely to succeed in the long run.

 

1. AI-BOOSTED EXPERIENCES

One of the key trends in customer experience in 2023 is the use of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning. These technologies are being used to personalize customer interactions and create more efficient and effective customer service. For example, AI-powered chatbots are being used to handle routine customer inquiries, freeing up human customer service representatives to focus on more complex issues.

2. DATA-BASED PERSONALIZATION

Another important trend is the increasing use of data analytics to understand customer behavior and preferences. By analyzing customer data, businesses can identify patterns and trends that can help them improve their products and services, as well as the overall customer experience.

In 2023, customers are also expecting a more seamless and integrated experience across different channels and touchpoints. For example, a customer might interact with a business via social media, website, and mobile app, and they expect a consistent and personalized experience across all these channels.

3. EFFICIENT SERVICE RESPONSE

In terms of customer service, businesses are recognizing the importance of providing fast and efficient service. This includes offering self-service options such as chatbots and automated phone systems, as well as providing quick and effective support through human representatives.

4. EMOTIONAL CONNECTIONS

Finally, businesses are focusing on building emotional connections with their customers. This means going beyond providing functional benefits and creating an emotional connection with customers by providing experiences that are memorable, authentic, and meaningful.

In conclusion, customer experience continues to be the top priority for businesses in 2023. By leveraging the latest technologies, analyzing customer data, providing a seamless and integrated experience across different channels, and building emotional connections with customers, businesses can create a competitive advantage and succeed in the long run.

WHO WILL BE GETTING YOUR ‘LIKES’ THIS HOLIDAY SEASON?

Holiday shopping season is here… but who will getting your business and social feedback?

The key to a profitable and joyful holiday retail season is ensuring exceptional customer service across all channels where customer interactions and feedback occur. Social media is increasingly becoming the most popular choice of ways to complain. Over 1 MILLION people view Tweets alone about customer service – a staggering 80% of those are negative. (Source: Touch Agency) So how do you avoid falling in the bottomless pit of bad social media reviews by disgruntled customers?

Before you open your doors to the last-minute frenzied shoppers, ask yourself these questions:

  1. Are all your employees clear on your company goals?
  2. Are your employees portraying a positive and friendly interaction as the shopper enters the store?
  3. Are you treating your employees the way you want them to treat your customers?
  4. Is your customer service department and contact center is ready for this influx of calls and customer requests?

It’s not just brick and mortar stores that need to take note… did you know that during the upcoming Holiday Shopping Season you can expect up to 80% more live chats online? In order to turn these chats into sales, you’ll need to streamline your online customer service. Get the Live Chat Cheat Sheet here.

Every 2 minutes, a BARE evaluation or audit is completed by our field force of more than 500,000 evaluators. Using calls, clicks or in-person visits, the common thread of our services is always revealing the moment of truth when your customers interact with your brand.

Through mystery shoppingsocial media monitoring and more, BARE International’s service offerings can finally reveal the true nature of your business. Contact us today to find out more.

CONNECTING WITH YOUR TARGET MARKETS DURING THE YEAR’S BUSIEST SHOPPING SEASON

It’s that crazy time of year when marketers pull out all the stops to capture their share of holiday consumption. In the past, the day after Thanksgiving would launch the season’s retail insanity. In recent years, the holiday shopping season has started increasingly earlier. This year, it seems like “Black Friday” has turned into “Black November.”

Just as the time-frame has expanded, so have the ways to connect with consumers. With multiple devices and numerous traditional, online and social platforms, marketing has become progressively more complex. Never has it been more critical to understand who your market is and how you can best reach them.

WHICH GENERATION ACCOUNTS FOR THE LARGEST CONSUMER SPENDING?

The answer may surprise you. Here is a quick look at the three biggest spending groups—baby boomers, millenials and the often-overlooked “middle child,” generation X. According to Pew Research, there are around 77 million boomers and 83 million millennials. Because of their size, these two generational segments garner almost the complete focus of marketers. The smaller gen X segment, around 65 million, is typically awarded little regard, yet this generation is the most financially influential of the three and has the largest buying potential.

American Express research indicates that Xers have more spending power than any other generation, including the boomers. Although they only make up 25% of the population, the Xers account for 29% of estimated net worth dollars and 31% of total income dollars.

CONNECTING ACROSS TARGET-RELEVANT PLATFORMS

Whether you target boomers, Xers, millennials or all three, it’s important to know the best channels to connect with your audience.

Screen size, speed and performance, and length of task influenced device preference. The study showed that 81% of consumers across generations prefer to complete five-minute tasks via smartphone. That number drops to 43% for tasks that take between 10-20 minutes, indicating even millennials prefer laptop/PC for many high-involvement tasks.

According to Oracle Commerce, 40.7% of millenials shop online at least once a week, 36.8% shop on mobile and only 8.7% think seeing/touching is important before buying. Although 62.2% of millenials shop in-store at least once a week, 95.5% would check product info on their mobile while in the store.

By contrast, 16.4% of boomers shop online at least once a week, 4.8% shop on mobile and 20% think seeing/touching is important before buying. Seventy-four percent still prefer to shop in-store, but 68.4% would check product info on a mobile while in-store if possible. And 31.7% of boomers believe store staff should carry smart devices to handle customer inquiries.

Gen Xers fall somewhere in between. They grew up during the birth of technology, so they are comfortable with both traditional channels as well as digital media. According to Forrester Research, 48% listen to the radio, 62% still read newspapers and 85% have favorite TV shows. They are also quite active online for banking, shopping and researching products they want to buy. Like boomers, Xers develop loyal relationships with brands and are willing to pay a premium to brands they value and trust. However, like millennials, they will forsake brands that don’t reward their loyalty.

While all three generations may differ in their use of traditional and digital platforms, they have some key elements in common. They desire a seamless in-store and online experience, expect in-store staff to be equipped with technology for more informed, swifter and easier service, and want to be able to check product information in-store using their mobile devices.

MAKING SURE YOU GET IT RIGHT

Accurately defining your target markets and implementing relevant strategies to connect is just the beginning. Customer research will reveal how well you’re hitting the mark. Many companies turn to firms like BARE to assess and monitor marketing efforts.

Customer Satisfaction (CSAT) Surveys provide instant results, unlimited feedback, and allow for customer incentives in exchange for completing surveys. Surveys are cost-effective and user friendly. Mystery Shopping uses calls, clicks and/or visits. BARE’s global workforce of evaluators follow predefined scenarios and record experiences at various touch points throughout the customer journey.

BARE also offers rapid-fire business intelligence (BI). Analysis can be done at a global and/or regional level to compare results between regions, countries, store types, chains and scenarios. BARE’s BI comprehensive reports include insights and conclusions derived from your data and can identify the evolution of results over time.

Effective marketing takes more effort and time than ever before. Make sure you are investing these resources wisely to achieve maximum success.

WHAT IS INCIDENT MANAGEMENT AND HOW CAN DIGITAL CHECKLISTS HELP?

A five-hour computer outage cost Delta Airlines $150 million in 2017. Similarly, companies lose an average of $300,000 per hour in revenue, staff productivity, and maintenance costs due to system outages. 

Major disruptions can significantly outweigh such expenses. The reason behind this is simple: customers who are unable to pay their bills, participate in a video conference or purchase a plane ticket are eager to switch to a competitor.

 

Moreover, such incidents can disrupt the organization’s processes and make them highly critical to its future. Therefore, incident management is vital to ensure smooth business operations and to avoid such incidents in the future. 

WHAT EXACTLY IS INCIDENT MANAGEMENT?

Businesses use dozens of technological packages in the forms of software and hardware to increase productivity. But like other systems, these IT systems too are vulnerable to breakdowns and stutters or can malfunction from time to time.

One incident could be all it takes to break your business practices, and it can throw your entire organization in flux. This is mainly because the incident occurs out of nowhere, and no one is prepared for it.

Incident management refers to a certain set of IT practices and preparations that your team or organization would carry out to measure KPI (Key Performance Indicators) and detect and solve problems or an “incident” in the business. 

Incident management ensures that your IT team can resolve technical malfunctions at the earliest, to reduce damage and even your reputation in the long run. For instance, you don’t want your website to stop running amidst a big sale, for it may repel customers indefinitely.

BENEFITS OF INCIDENT MANAGEMENT

A good incident management software will give KPIs to help the concerned team dramatically reduce incident response time.

However, it must be noted that KPIs themselves will not solve your problems. Still, they will assist you in identifying the source of the problem and directing your efforts toward digging more profound in the appropriate areas.

Here are some benefits of incident management:

  • Deriving vital KPIs for current and future use.
  • Prevention of incidents and risks.
  • Reduction and elimination of downtime.
  • Securing confidential data.
  • Improving customer service.
  • Better efficiency by identifying areas of improvement.
  • Mitigating spontaneous labor and costs.

HOW CAN A DIGITAL CHECKLIST HELP?

Manually conducting safety auditing, inspection management, and meeting compliance standards can be tedious.

But harnessing digital checklists, businesses can streamline incident management and make it more accessible.

All industries have a unique set of challenges they face during operations. Digital checklists simplify these processes, making it much easier to tackle challenges while maintaining an organized workplace.

Digital checklists can prove your team with some critical KPIs like timestamps, uptime, SLOs (Service Level Objectives), SLAs (Service Level Agreements), MTTR (mean time to repair, resolve, respond, or recovery), On-call time, MTTD (mean time to detect), and MTTA (mean time to acknowledge). 

Furthermore, you can use digital checklists for incident management to do the following:

  • Log all incidents.
  • Determine the location and sensitivity of the incident at hand.
  • Isolate the incident to ensure it doesn’t affect other resources.
  • Identify regulatory measures for the incident.
  • Assign duties throughout your team according to various factors for faster issue resolution. This can be done according to the category, location, and effectiveness.
  • Eradicate malfunctioned or compromised data.
  • Develop a list for forensics and hardware replacement if needed.
  • Analyze data to study why the problem arose and how you can avoid recurrence in the future.
  • Create an incident report that logs which areas of the organization were most affected.
  • Track and monitor all incidents to ensure accountability as well as faster resolution of incidents.
  • Improve security measures.

As you can see, digital checklists can be beneficial in the case of incident management.
