IS HYGIENE ASSURED IN YOUR PREFERRED FAST FOOD OUTLET?

IS HYGIENE ASSURED IN YOUR PREFERRED FAST FOOD OUTLET?

Hygiene is one factor of life that all humans need take seriously; as we all know, health is wealth. What we eat and drink, what we wear, the environment we live in and those who are responsible for the preparation and hygiene of these things all contribute to our health.

Our question to customers is:
Is your health assured in that fast food outlet you visit?
For owners of these businesses, our question is:
Are your customers' health in safe hands when they patronize you?

Who is the best custodian of an adult's health if not the adult?Unfortunately, the societies we live in entrust our safeties in these outlets to the hands of governmental health officials.The best the customer gets in terms of hygiene assurance is a beautifully framed customer service charter and a clean waiting area.  Don't we all know that the major measure of hygiene is in the sourcing of products and their preparation?Why then is the back end (kitchen) of fast food outlets a sacred haven meant only for the eyes of employees and owners?



The truth of the matter is that the safety of customers is in their own hands and eating out is a risk.

It would be a good idea to have a fast food outlet with a see through kitchen. That way, customers get to see a bit of the hygiene level.  We know ingredients and mode of preparation is  a trade secret, but all that can still be achieved even in a see through kitchen.

Customer Experience Starts with Customer Courtesy

The way you make a customer feel about you and your business or the company you work for determines if they would buy from you. We really cannot do business without the right impression. Customer courtesy is a vital component of customer experience and a determinant of customer satisfaction. It is the respect you accord customers as recognition of their value to your business. Many businesses display beautifully worded and framed service charters but act contrary because they lack the knowledge of customer courtesy and its benefit to their business or just choose to be non-chalant. Regardless of what side of the coin a business belongs to, customer experience stands a huge chance of being distasteful without customer courtesy. The common practice in non-customercentric firms is that the service charter remains the dream of management while the employees do as they please. Right from the very moment customers start seeking a business to patronize in your niche, or get attracted t...

Customer Experience: HARDWORK WILL NEVER BE A REPLACEMENT FOR PROFESSIONALISM

A Sim card marketer approached me yesterday at Shoprite, Randburg Mall, Johannesburg, South Africa while I was shopping. The following conversation ensued: Marketer : Hi pretty, what a lovely thing you have on you, it's too long to be a scarf, I think the Indians call it Sari or what?   Me : hmm (some show of displeasure) Marketer: What network do you use? Me: Why do you ask and why should I tell you?   Marketer : I want to tell you about Virgin Mobile.   Me : (With an attitude of let's hear what he's got to say) what’s different about virgin?   Marketer : We charge 99c per second for international calls, I know you make lots of international calls   Me : So does my network, Cell C   Marketer : We charge 67c for local calls and run on MTN facilities which exist all over even farther than Cell C's   Me : Really? So Virgin doesn't even have its own facilities, without MTN you do not exist. I am glad I have Cell C as my network   ...

Customer Education : CE Mark on Products

Have you ever wondered what the CE mark you see on some products means?  No, it doesn’t mean Customer Education. It’s an acronym for a French phrase (Conformite Europeene) that means European Conformity. It is a symbol of product quality and safety.  It is a manufacturer’s declaration that the product has been assessed and it complies with the essential requirements of the relevant European health, safety and environmental protection legislation and is therefore legally fit to be placed on the market within the European Union, Iceland, Norway and Lichtenstein . It is like the United States’ FCC (Federal Communications Commission) and  Nigeria’s SON (Standards Organisation of Nigeria) markings on products. Customers should make it a point of duty to check if the products they are buying bear these markings to ensure their safety. While you might be saying “but some manufacturers put these symbols on their sub-standard products without bein...
