Happinest Brands’ Post

What can we do for you?

“Challenging the norm, every day. We know we cannot rest for one day in this industry. We have a hungry team of engineers, marketers, sales, retailers/dealers, and factory staff who know that if we don’t get better every day, we will fall behind. This mindset of doing things better and differently keeps us moving ahead of the competition. That could mean new processes, new products, better training, or new ways to reach people. There is a lot of noise in front of consumers today; our daily goal is to make Savage stand out to them.” - Beth Shimanski, Director of Marketing, Savage Arms Inc.

DOING THEIR BEST! I had a recent experience on the road at a famous slider QSR. I stylized the photo to protect the innocent. It was a Sunday and this place was BUSY! Not fun busy, customers all standing around grumbling busy, cars cinnamon rolled around the building in the drive thru, cars honking, drivers getting out of line BUSY! The manager was obvious and she was KILLING IT, literally running from spot to spot, helping her team, interacting with frustrated customers, playing SUPER WOMAN. The team was clearly short staffed (only one of three griddles packed, it was obvious to anyone watching)... Is this normal for this site? Do they operate like this every Sunday afternoon?!? Do you have sites trying to do this? It is not sustainable! I saw employees that I know are going to quit. The manager was doing everything in per power at the time to "fix" the problem, but it was a resource issue. Did she schedule it this way? Was she man hours constrained? With the right staff this could have been a GOLDEN couple of HOURS, I mean the kind of hours that the team rallies around and brags about for months! In this environment (employment, economy, culture) PLEASE do not do this to your teams. Give them what they need to succeed. Do not think they can run at 115% for days, weeks, months at a time, you will lose good people that should be part of your team for the long haul but will not put up with abuse. Be the CAVALRY, be aware that they are in need, tell them you see it and know and are on the way with help. Give them a sense of how long they need to fight the horde before help will arrive. And now we come to the real problem... do you know? Do you see the issue? Can you tell when your sites are busy and need more help? Over the last decade I have determined that most leaders outside of a site don't have the data needed to know when demand is too high for the resources assigned. Why? Most organizations can only see what was done, not what was possible. They see the orders and entrees executed and not the cinnamon roll around the drive thru, not the line waiting inside, not the addition 10, 20, 30 customers that could have been served during that busy hour, not the screaming in frustration wait that the customer endures just before they say "never again, I will never be back". Let us help you see the problem/opportunity! WE CAN! WE HAVE for all of our clients. Every client who has partnered with us has identified scheduling mismatches that they had NO IDEA were happening repeatedly week after week, month after month, opportunities to serve more customers better. FasterLines - FastQSR can give you the vision your team needs to know where the next great service hour is hiding! Be the CAVALRY! Don't leave your team in despair at the Alamo! Why Wait?!?!?

Wonderful business! Simple concept. Easy money. This entrepreneur uses all resources she has, which includes her own truck to make the business money. Now she has the freedom to have her own schedule. #Freedom #Life #Entrepreneuer #Business

Liz and Hannah here 📢 Greetings from Gundy! 📍Yelarbon Silos to be precise. If you're following our stories, you might think we've gone on a quest for the best scone of the west, but truth is, we're travelling all around Southern Queensland Country to talk about branding. The scones have been a pleasant surprise though! So far, we've run 7 focus groups and talked to more people than we have all year. Aside from learning lots about the destination, what we've really learned is that there's never a bad time to get aligned on who your customers are and why they visit you. Even if you're not in a period of rebranding, it's a powerful exercise to bring your team together and ask these questions.👇 ✔️ Who visits your region? ✔️ What do you offer visitors? ✔️ Why do they come? ✔️ How do you want to stand out? If you're thinking of re-branding, but are short on budget (we get it!), we wrote this blog just for you 👉 https://lnkd.in/d3itSVNf

Soon I will be sharing the behind-the-scenes of developing my own personal brand! My team has been pushing me to do this for YEARS! To be honest, I didn't think that others would want to hear my story. Now I realize that my story is what drives my purpose and defines my values. How I serve is drawn from my experiences. My purpose as CEO of Wakefield Brunswick was clear. As Angela Devlen -- much less so until now. I have been working on several things that will launch in 2024. My story was instrumental to the process. So, I will be sharing the process and lessons learned as I continue. Questions? Lessons learned you want the real truth about? Just ask.

As the leader of a drive thru brand for 6 years, I saw all the pain points of line management. We tried all sorts of solutions from KDS systems to pulling cars to line busters and it just left the team more confused. When I first heard of FasterLines, I immediately saw the value it provided in just organization and flow of the entire operation, without overcomplicating things at all. The brilliance is in its simplicity. What if you had an extra set of eyes watching the line at all times, and an AI manager could tell you exactly how to ramp up or down your workflow? No training needed for your staff, just the ability to react to a line that might be slowing down. That's the power of FasterLines.

🌟 Turning Bad PR into a Positive: A Lesson in Creativity and Commitment 🌟 I'm sure many of you have now seen BÉIS pop shop all over social media but here is a perfect example of how a brand can turn bad PR into a positive. I have come across quite a few videos on TikTok, of how Beis customers have been disappointed that their bags were ruined after just 1 trip - so why not open a pop-up shop to show how committed Beis is to keeping your bags looking chic - and it's Free! It's a good lesson for all brands that bad PR doesn't mean doomsday - but it is a perfect opportunity to get creative. By partnering with Scrub Daddy, Inc., Beis not only shows their dedication but also proves that effective solutions don't always have to come with a hefty price tag – That's a Win-Win!!!!
