At Burger Patch Success Equals Build, Measure, Learn, and Repeat

 

Success does leave clues. One clue that you on the right path is ‘listening’ to your customers.  There are several ways that companies do that today but still one of the best ways is very simple.  Ask them how you are doing.  Then follow-up with how could we do better.  That according to Steven Johnson Grocerant Guru® at Tacoma, WA based Foodservice Solutions®.

When your consumer move restaurants need to move with them.  Burger Patch has done just that and done it well in the opinion of Johnson.   Johnson suggests, that they are following Foodservice Solutions® time tested four simple steps for continues success: Build, Measure, Learn, and Repeat.  Consumers are dynamic not static your brand must be dynamic as well.

Our Grocerant Guru® believes Burger Patch is on the right track by recalibrating its price, value, service equilibrium with the information it garners from consumers.  Here is Foodservice Solutions® current price value, service equilibrium formula:  Price + Quality + Social + Portability = Value.

Burger Patch co-founder Phil Horn, stated, “Inflation has hit everyone hard,” ... “Through our surveys, it was clear that many of our regulars are making tough financial decisions to meet their monthly budgets which has impacted their ability to visit us as much as they would like. Our customers deserve extra, not less. Our new Burger Patch XTRA platform gives our Patch People a delicious, convenient meal to look forward to a little more often again.”

This new program becomes even more attractive with the ability to double-down and layer select discounts and combos.

Plus, new members will receive a free Patch Burger perk in the app for a limited time. Select XTRA products and pricing are available exclusively for pickup or delivery in-store, at burgerpatch.com or the Burger Patch app where customers can save up to 30% over 3rd party ordering platforms.
