🍔 A family BBQ reminded me of a lesson about working with clients 🌭 We don't usually eat meat at home, but we buy burgers and hot dogs for family gatherings. My dad, a meat-and-potatoes guy, ONLY eats real burgers. He can't stand the thought of a veggie burger. This weekend, we grilled out for Labor Day. I showed my dad which burgers were real beef and which were fake...THREE TIMES! But minutes later, he looked at his burger and asked, "Am I eating a real burger or a fake one?" Of course, it was a fake burger. 😅 He dropped and shook his head, clearly upset. We eventually got him a real burger, and he was happy. But I was reminded of a valuable lesson about working with customers: Sometimes, no matter how clear your instructions are, it's better to do certain tasks for clients. It saves time, headaches, and helps the long-term relationship. Don't drive yourself crazy trying to make them do it for principle. Get it done and move on. So next time you're in a similar situation with clients, dive in and be helpful... or just order pizza! 🍕 #clientrelations #lessonslearned #smb #startup

What's for dinner? It's the universally dreaded question that doesn't discriminate (unless you've succeeded to gazillionaire status and have a private chef). It's also the question grocers have not solved through the years. I have lots of theories why, but let's just say the obvious. From the consumer POV: - lack of convenience and selection, - lack of affordable options, - lack of kinds of meals mom or her kids want (looking at you Sloppy Joe's meal kit). From the retailer POV: - it's hard to manage meal kit areas in store that cross numerous categories, - demand hasn't pushed (chicken and egg and sloppy joe issue here), and - the big one #waste. There are tools out there to solve the waste issues (see my other posts for that), so let's get on with tackling what's for dinner. Kroger has been making an effort with Home Chef, but they've just upped the ante - especially for families. If you don't have kids below age 8, you may not be aware of Bluey. It's the brilliant Aussie cartoon that's become the most searched show on Disney+. Part comedy, part lesson learning, part feel it in your chest has translated into parents and kids alike loving it. Well, Kroger has gone and done a brilliant thing, they've incorporated Bluey themed meals into Home Chef, complete with a Bluey toy, and plastered it all over Mom's Facebook feeds. The only thing wrong is that we only had two options for this week and my crew would have loved another. Cheaper and healthier than a meal out at Chick Fil A. Strategy - it's what's for dinner at Kroger. #grocerywaste #mealkits #bluey Retail Insight

In February 1,055 burgers just disappeared 💨 We took a look at the 16k+ refund claims we handled for our restaurant partners last month, and turns out a good chunk were due to missing burgers. These genuine claims cost restaurants time and money... OpSpot does more than save restaurants money. We analyse refund patterns to uncover operational insights. Which items consistently go missing? What sites are driving refund claims? How can you reduce genuine claims over time? Because at the end of the day, missing burgers = missing profits 🍔 Worried about your missing wraps or lost falafels? Give OpSpot a go and turn those 'oops' moments into actionable insights. ➡️ getopspot.com #restauranttech #refundmanagement #takeaway

Our first three days of operation in Philly have been slow but promising. Each day, we get a few more orders, although we've hit snags accepting some of them, and our support team is working through those issues. We don't expect to hit it out of the park within the first three months of operation. Most orders we'll make initially will be through our subscriptions for pizza, which we can finally start selling in the Philly area. We could pre-sell pizza subscriptions for Oceanside, but we had something of a known brand an hour away from Ramona. And in Ramonas, we sell an average of $40K yearly in subscriptions. Selling the same way in Philadelphia, in an unknown market with an unknown brand, we've only sold one subscription in advance. Of my friends in Philly, who could you share this post with to get more traction for our market there? Our Toast software is ready to accept orders; our Owner.com platform is live for our Mamma Ramona's Pizzeria website; DoorDash is active; Uber is close to being approved. Bryant, our guy in front of the ovens, stands ready to make pizza for you! The Deal: $199 yearly for 52 medium 12" pizzas, cheese, or pepperoni, once weekly for 52 weeks. Order at 52weeksofpizza.com (our new domain name that drops you right onto the subscription page). Repost and share, and help me sell 500 subscriptions in Philly! Thank you!

Elias runs a mobile chicken grill every Thursday. He wouldn't sell me his last two delicious birds—unwilling to negotiate. His chicken? Outrageously good. But I rarely ever get to taste it, because I teach at the University. Lectures run from 9:45 to 11:15. Then, I manage videos, documents, and emails. On fast days, I'm in my car by 11:45, heading to Elias's supermarket location. I arrive around 12:03—traffic's light here. But a half chicken? Unlikely. If lucky, some salad remains. His salads? Awesome. A perfect match for his chicken. Customers know. They arrive early. Chickens are ready by 10:30. Sold out by 11, or 11:15 on "bad days". When my lecture ends? That's when he sells out. Just thinking about his chicken triggers olfactory hallucinations. During Christmas holidays, I thought my plight would end. No classes meant reaching Elias's grill by 10:30. But delays happened — a story for another time. Reaching at 10:55, my heart raced. Approaching the stall, four birds turned on the rotisserie. "Waiting for me!" I mused. They weren't. "Dibs on those!" I driveled. "And some salads, please!" "No," he declined, "they're reserved." "Rightly deserved," I joked. "No, reserved. Another customer's coming in 20." I tried reasoning about potential waste. "Unlikely," he countered. "Smart customers plan. You're always late. How many should I reserve for you next Thursday?" Since then, I've never rushed. Post-class, I leisurely drive, collecting our 2 half-chickens and 4 salads at 12:04. Moral of the story? You tell me. #chicken #marketing #sales

So I’m sitting at the food court doing my work while grabbing a bite to eat and had some Chick-fil-A Restaurants. I had my drink cup on the table working on my laptop and a chick Fil a employee walks up to me and ask if everything is going well and if I wanted to refill my drink and also offered me a mint. He went around each table that had ordered chick Fil and offered them a mint or extra sauces or refills or if there is anything else he could do for them. Well done Chick-fil-A Restaurants. That’s how business should be done. Software companies offering the same type of attention to the needs of their customers are the ones that will stand out. Our customers are the one who pay our bills and taking some time and resources to show them that you care goes a very long way. #Knowyourcustomer #business #sales #salesengineering #service

NorthSide Pizza is Breckenridge's spot "for locals, by locals." With a location right by the gondola (and the lowest prices in all of Breck), NorthSide serves up cold beer and pizza by the slice in a cozy, no-frills dive on Main St. After owner Brian Jones passed away in 2023, the torch was passed to longtime employees and Breckenridge locals Jake and Casey Donohoe. Crowd Digital Marketing worked with Casey (during Breckenridge's very quick shoulder season) to improve the Search Engine Optimization and storytelling on their website. We built a simple, no-frills Duda website to showcase NorthSide Pizza's amazing food and prices, give hungry visitors directions, and pay tribute to the restaurant's past and history. Check out NorthSide next time you're in Breckenridge: www.northsidebreck.com #breck #skibreck #epicpass #epiclocal #duda #dudadesign #seo #searchengineoptimization #pizza #localsonly
