At one of our Layne's Chicken Fingers locations, we recently had a meaningful experience that truly highlighted the power of hospitality and company culture. As franchisees, we make it a point to consistently connect with our team members to better understand their experiences and improve our operations. During one of these visits earlier this month, we spoke with a dedicated drive-up window team member who shared her passion for hospitality. She mentioned that she recognizes customers by their voices at the menu board and greets them by name, making them feel like family. One couple in particular—a senior pair who visits twice a week—simply says, "Hey, it’s us" when they arrive. The team member instantly knows who they are, greets them by name, and ensures their order is just how they like it, down to adjusting the salt on their fries based on past requests. This thoughtful gesture undoubtedly makes these guests feel special and cared for. This story reminded us of a powerful quote from Will Guidara’s book "Unreasonable Hospitality": "The moment you start to pursue service through the lens of hospitality, you start to understand there's nobility in it." This team member truly embodies that sense of nobility through her genuine care for our guests. It also brought to mind Peter Drucker's famous saying: "Culture eats strategy for breakfast." Fostering a positive work culture and treating your team with respect are the foundation of business success. When you prioritize the well-being of your team and create a supportive environment, your business—and your customer relationships—will naturally thrive. #companyculture #hospitality #kindness
