Use your Foodservice Reward points to shop for staff gifts and performance rewards.
Reward your employee of the month who has provided the best customer service or gone above and beyond the call of duty: covering shifts, unexpectedly staying to close, handling difficult customers, running out for last minute supplies, coming up with a great new recipe, etc.
Celebrate employee birthdays, work anniversaries and other important milestones.
Congratulate your employees who reliably arrive at work on time or willingly take on additional shifts.
Use your rewards to motivate your staff toward increased sales:
Each appetizer or dessert sale is entered into a sweepstakes drawing. The more a staff member sells, the better their chances to win the drawing.
The staff member with the highest average ticket value for the week receives a reward paid for with your Foodservice Rewards point.
Perhaps your daily specials are more expensive than your menu selection. Reward your staff member who sells the most specials per hour of their shift. Or if you’re comparing employees who work during shifts with different traffic patterns, reward the employee who sells the most specials in comparison to their total ticket sales.
Thank your back-of-the-house help for their commitment to the success of the operation.
Build Customer Traffic
The latest iPod or plasma screen TV earned through Foodservice Rewards will be a great prize in your next customer sweepstakes. Run advertisements or put a banner outside to draw traffic in for the sweepstakes. Remember, legally no purchase is necessary to enter. Check with your local authorities on the rules for running customer promotions.
Note that in the Rewards Catalog, in the Schools option, you’ll find lots of fun, small rewards that you can use as kid-friendly giveaways or in a children’s wishing well. Check out the yo-yo’s, colorful pencils and mini flash lights.
