Experience

CSE partners with restaurant clients across the country to improve their employee experiences—leading to service improvement, revenue growth and greater efficiency.  CSE’s niche is working with regional restaurant chains including grab-and-go, fine dining and everything in between to:
  • Define the customer journey
  • Help develop their standards of service and performance

  • Measuring the results for effectiveness and further improvement
  • Professionally and personally develop leaders and managers
  • Improve communication

Expertise

CSE understands the nuances associated with front of the house and back of the house operations, and  the challenges associated with recruiting, selecting, onboarding and retaining talent, managing performance and coaching for improvement.  CSE effectively creates buy-in and results from the corporate executives all the way through to the front-line.

Approach

CSE engages all levels of employees in the support and development of service improvement.  We employ a strategy that introduces staff to the concept of treating each customer as a guest, mapping their journey while visiting your restaurant.  Each and every detail is scrutinized as each plays a part in shaping the customer experience.  We take a holistic approach to service improvement, understanding that service is delivered through more channels than simply front-line staff.  To learn more about our holistic approach to service improvement, please check out our eC²® Model.
