Sfide

As the brand expanded in foodservice, outcomes varied by outlet. Many locations treated beverages as a commodity category, and service staff often defaulted to familiar options. Without a unified loyalty structure, the brand struggled to drive consistent menu presence, pour preference, and quality standards.

Key challenges included:

• Limited featured menu presence: Beverage listings were inconsistent, often buried or excluded from combos and promotions.
• Under-optimized dispenser performance: Variability in equipment maintenance and syrup utilization impacted fountain volume and consistency.
• Low staff confidence in recommendations: Counter and serving staff lacked product knowledge to upsell or explain benefits.
• Weak long-term account loyalty: Competitors offered short-term discounts, creating churn in preferred partnerships.
• Inconsistent activation of seasonal campaigns: Limited-time offers and seasonal flavors weren’t executed uniformly across partner outlets.
• Quality risks at point of consumption: Serving temperature, presentation consistency, and beverage quality controls varied across locations.

Personas involved

• Foodservice Partners (Owners, Franchisees, Outlet Managers): Earn rewards for menu placements, volume milestones, activation execution, and quality compliance.

• Service Staff (Servers, Counter Staff, Supervisors): Receive training-based rewards, upsell recognition, and quality-driven bonuses.

• Channel Sales & Key Account Teams: Drive partner onboarding, monitor performance, and expand preferred partnerships.

• Trade & Brand Marketing Teams: Launch seasonal activations, menu placement initiatives, and partner engagement campaigns.

• Operations & Quality Teams: Oversee dispenser standards, maintenance compliance, and serving quality requirements.

• Program Admin / Super Admin: Own program rules, tiers, reward catalogs, integrations, and reporting across partner groups.
