Buffalo Wild Wings, Eau Claire, Wisconsin
Buffalo Wild Wings (BWW) is a casual dining restaurant, and according to
their website, our restaurants create a welcoming neighborhood
atmosphere which appeals to sports fans and families alike. We
differentiate our restaurants by the social environment we create and the
connection we make with our Team Members, Guests, and the local
community. The Buffalo Wild Wings restaurant in Eau Claire has over sixty
television screens that project various sports events as well as trivia. The
first Buffalo Wild Wings was founded in 1982 in Columbus, Ohio, and has
over 1,000 stores in the United States, and their mission is to WOW people
every day.
Project Description
Part of the mission statement is dedicated to excellence, and part of that
excellence is the responsibility of the team members. One aspect of this is
through suggestive sells of the products that BWW has to offer. When a
server interacts with a table, he or she needs to incorporate five aspects into
their script: specific beverage, appetizer, specific sauce, limited-time offer
(LTO) item, and specific dessert. This ensures that the customer is fully
aware of all of the items that they can choose, and it opens the opportunities
for more sales for the restaurant. However, incorporating all of these aspects
can seem overwhelming or inconvenient for both the server and the guest,
so it does not always get incorporated into the dialogue.
Every month there are corporate mystery shops that occur, and the
restaurant gets evaluated on those aspects as well as other elements of the
dining experience. Our restaurant is expected to perform at or above an 80,
and lately, the scores have been decreasing. A decrease in score can lead to
measures taken such as termination for the employee. Because of this, this
training will include:
Learning all of the steps to a proper script for servers
Opportunities for incorporating the suggestive sells naturally into
dialogue
Practicing different script options with coworkers
Aim
Improve customer service and increase the value of our employees by
educating employees about the proper mystery stop steps and improve the
average corporate mystery shop performance from 74 to 80.
Target Audience
The target audience will be new employees who are undergoing the training
process as well as current employees who do not pass corporate mystery
shops.
Delivery Options
This will be a blended instruction with a combination of online learning and
face-to-face interaction. This method was chosen because in order to
correctly implement the material learned online, there needs to be an option
to practice the information learned with another person.
Contextual Analysis
Orienting Context
Instructional Context
Scheduling: Would need to be a weekend morning before the
restaurant opens, between 9-10:00am
Lighting: No issue there are shades and blinds that can be controlled
Noise: No source of noise that would distract
Temperature: Can be controlled
Seating: Tables can be moved for small-group activities; servers can
also sit in booths
Accommodations: No hotel accommodations needed; breakfast can be
provided for employees
Equipment: Screens and projectors are available; microphones are also
available
Transportation: Employees have easy access since they already work
at the facility where the training will be held
Transfer Context
Since employees have to suggestive sell with every table, the skills
learned are easily transferrable.
Employees will have constant opportunities for practice because they
interact with guests and new tables often as part of their job.
Managers can create incentive programs for continued correct
performance of suggestive selling; managers also have mini mystery
shops that are conducted.
sells. Also, the material delivered needs to stay direct and relevant and
needs to closely mirror real-life situations.
