Poor secret shopper reviewsWell, another week has passed at the Hut, and we have gotten a new all time low score (33 out of a possible 100) on a secret shopper review (champs check). This messes up my Store Managers bonus check, so she is mad at our recent round of low scores. Our last round of kids that have been hired to take orders are not putting in the right toppings or reading back the order to verify they hit the right buttons. These kids that are on the phones do not seem to care if they do their job correctly or not. This means the customer is not getting the right pizza, and will be more likely to give a poor review. I actually catch some customers purposely changing their order 3 times (while taking their order) so they can say I gave them the wrong order or pizza. I will repeat their order, sometimes making up items along the way. 1/3 of the time, they do not even catch it. There will always be scammers, but I understand when a person wants something on only half of the pizza, the the "Phone Bitch" puts it in wrong. For many years, our CSR's were almost always females. So the veterans started calling them that. Nowadays, we have more male CSR's but we still call them that. In my city, we have a CSC (Customer Service Center) that takes all phone orders, carryout or delivery. Needless to say, all our champschecks suck, because they're so rude to customers. We often get bitched out by customers because of this. When we get our mystery shoppers, that counts against our store, not CSC. CSC can't spell anything, so addresses and phone numbers are always screwed. If we need to have a phone order voided, we have to call CSC and explain why. If a customer calls CSC with a complaint, they just give them the number to our store, even though theyre not supposed to, and theyre the ones that screwed up. We dont have to take phone orders, but we have all new problems. Demandred They did away with the CSC in Denver about 7 years ago. I do remember how often we would get out of areas and other problems. Our CSC went down for over 2 hours one friday. That sucked royally, as no drivers made much money that nite. If we had better Phone People, we would have more orders. Our hold time is too long, and we lose 2-4 phone calls out of every 100 or so. The phone system computer keeps track of all that. I've done it both ways. It sucks both ways. I hate answering phones but I'm damn sure better at it than most. Anyone who is any good at answering phones is going to go where he/she can make more than $5.15/hr. Around here (Denver) most of the HS kids do not want to work that hard at a job. This means we get a fair share of kids that have had no other jobs, and like that they get to sit on their lazy backsides while only working 3 out of their 4 hour shift. I usually can take 2 or 3 orders to their 1 when I jump on the phones. I do not let the customer go on and on.. I ask what size.. then what crust.. then what toppings. This is how our order entry system wants things done. This really does speed up the order process. I hate it when some kids blurts out "I want a Pepperoni and cheese pizza" I can not put in toppings until I get the size then the dough or crust type. Drunks rarely even have an idea who they called, much less what type of dough they want. No one is training these new phone people very well. My Store manager is letting any phone person train the newbies. Even if it is their buddy, and they could care less about getting trained. I used to be asked to train most of the new drivers on how to take phone orders. Now most of the newbie drivers are not getting trained on the phones. This means we have dropped calls, since the poorly trained phone order takers are taking to long to take an order. People rarely will stay on hold for more than 2 minutes. They have 4 other Pizza Places that will deliver to their house in our area. Have you guys seen http://www.tipthepizzaguy.com/? This one was most likely me. It happened on a Sunday around noon, and there is only one other driver. This person said the phone person was not friendly, the driver was not friendly, the driver was in a bad mood or something to that effect. There is not much I can do about being in a bad mood. This was the weekend where the BSM was giving me a real bad time and I really didn't want to be there. If I tell them the total, give them the pizza, say thanks if the tip is over $1, what else can I say. I am not going to make chitchat with every customer. It was only a 83 out of 100, but it was the first one that wasn't a 100 in over a week. Oh well, I guess I will have to put on my fake smile more often. It's not your fault if your manager was being an ass. NO ONE wants to be put down. No one. I'm sick to death of this bad treatment by managers. Take care. [Moderator] I worked at the Enumclaw Pizza Hut for two years, which for the most part, we didn't get scammers often, and the phone rules are enforced. Our Area Coach mandated phone surveys to make sure of this. All was good in Enumclaw except for the ten months we had this total loser in command who never treated his employees right. I am thankful he is gone now. |
