At Taco Bell, our Brand Values (Be People-First, Be Fan-Led, Be Fearless, Be Different) are found and reflected in everything we do. This season, we’re highlighting our core value, Be People-First. We can’t control what happens out in the world, but we can control the investments we make in our people. Take a look below to see how Gamar I., General Manager, Redberry Restaurants embodies this core value! 🇨🇦 👥 😍🦸💪 🌮 Over the last 25 years, Gamar has progressed with the brand, from a Service Champion to Shift Lead for several different Franchise entities. She has trained dozens of Owners, Operators, Restaurant General Managers and Team Members, learning to work with different people and systems – which made her passion for meeting new people and training even stronger. “From Team Members to guests, I am nothing without the people I've interacted with. Each person I’ve encountered has taught me new things, and at the same time, I’ve never felt more at home and supported... I’ve been able to see Team Members start in their teens, turn into young adults, and realize their dreams, which is so rewarding. I don’t have children of my own, but the restaurant teams have been, and are my family. Everyone calls me Momma Gamar.” Read the full story below ⬇ #tacobellcanada #25years #sudanese #peoplefirst #ourvalues

Good Things will start Happening
BREAKING RESTAURANT NEWS: I will admit I just about fell out of my office chair when I saw this. A truly stunning development. Naturally, Brian Niccol is a major grab for Starbucks, as he took Chipotle to heights I'm not sure anybody pictured back in 2018. Hard to say what this entails for either brand right now, but this is undeniably one of the most consequential executive shakeups in the industry's history.

After 13 incredible years, a few weeks ago, I ended my journey at Restaurant Brands International. Over those years, I was able to play a small role in bringing our amazing food and experience to guests around the world with Burger King, Tim Hortons and Firehouse Subs. More importantly, I got to do it with amazing teams, many of whom have become close partners and friends. There are too many to tag here in a single post, but I want to shout out to a few groups: First, to my current and former Innovation and Marketing teams. Thanks for always taking on any challenge, no matter how impossible it seemed on day one. Remember that great ideas often start with a “No” or blank stare. Special shout out to some of the best ideas that live on only in our phone photo libraries. Second, to the leaders and mentors that always encouraged me to be myself and push beyond what I thought was possible. I have always appreciated that you gave me the freedom to solve our biggest problems with a compass and not a map. Third, to everyone who supported bring our ideas to life at scale. Specifically, those in Operations (I’m probably responsible for my fair share of gray hairs), QA, Procurement, Agency Partners and Suppliers (Thanks for always taking those late Friday phone calls). Finally, our franchisees that operated our restaurants with their teams each day. I was able to take valuable lessons from each interaction that ultimately helped create better plans. What’s the immediate next step? Going to see how well a seven year old soccer team can run a 4-5-1, finally perfect smoking a brisket, scratch a few restaurants off my ever-growing list, and create new family memories. Not sure if Throwback Thursdays are still a thing, but I'll leave you with a photo of me getting ready for my first day in 2011. Treat everything like its your first project! {Roll Credits} THE LEGENDARY STAR-LORD WILL RETURN

𝙈𝙪𝙡𝙩𝙞𝙥𝙡𝙮 𝙔𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙇𝙤𝙮𝙖𝙡 𝘾𝙪𝙨𝙩𝙤𝙢𝙚𝙧𝙨 | Customer Experience Marketing | Customer Service and CX Speaker, Trainer, and Coach | Facilitated More Than 1,000,000 Customer Service Experiences (and counting)
You've heard this one, that Howard Schultz, Founder and CEO of Starbucks said, “We are not in the coffee business serving people, but in the people business serving coffee.” I witnessed this attitude recently in the wild (in real life). While the attitude was not surprising, where I saw it and who I heard it from were surprising. A few days back I went out to lunch at Taco Bell (because I rarely eat there, right? 😉). I was pleasantly surprised to see a new location near an appointment I had. Of course, one of the reasons to love a place like Taco Bell is the consistency, you always know what you're going to get. After the cashier took my order, I asked about the new location and if it was staffed by existing employees from other stores, or if they were all new. Her response went something like this... "Most of the people who work here worked at other stores. I'm new here. I mean I'm new to working at this Taco Bell, I'm not new to working in customer service. I've also worked at..." This was a Taco Bell employee who couldn't have been more than 20. She doesn't see herself as working in the restaurant or fast food industry. She doesn't see herself as working in the growing taco industry. She sees herself as someone who works in the service industry. And that will take her far in life. What industry do you work in? 🤠JBG #everythingspeaks #customerservice #customerrelations #restaurantmanagement

Restaurant heroes: General managers, managers, whatever their title is...the industry could not exist without them. Let's celebrate them all for their part in making dining out possible. They shouldn't serve 50 years to get acknowledged. In an industry where entry level turnover is astronomical a manager who hires, trains and manages for even 5 or 10 years is amazing. Think of the number of people they've taught not only work skills but life skills. Restaurant owners, founders, chefs and franchise owners: you may get occasional coverage for what you've done. Please shoutout a manager and tag us so we can help you celebrate them. #foodservice #foodserviceindustry #restaurantindustry #restaurantsupply #fooddistributor #foodmanufacturing #foodmanufacturer #foodmanufacturers #foodmarketing #restaurant #restaurants #restaurantowner #restaurantowners #restaurantmanager #restaurantoperations https://lnkd.in/gFtNnfie

Today we reported our Q2 results and I’m pleased Yum! delivered 10% growth in Core Operating Profit despite the continued challenging operating environment, demonstrating the strength of our iconic brands and reputation for value. Our twin growth engines, Taco Bell U.S. and KFC International, combined delivered 5% system sales growth led by 8% unit growth. Taco Bell U.S. is a clear standout thanks to its continued menu innovation and new Cantina Chicken offering, with the brand not only achieving same-store sales growth well ahead of the QSR category but delivering restaurant level margins near a record high. Second-quarter unit growth was also robust, increasing 5% with 894 gross new units, the second highest Q2 openings in Yum!’s history. We’re also excited about our continued digital and technology momentum, with digital sales approaching $8 billion with a digital mix of over 50% in the quarter. I’m confident that the investments we’re making in tandem to be more agile, resilient and stronger as part of our technology journey, including harnessing the power of AI and our data at scale, will unlock future growth for our global business and franchisees in the years ahead. As always, I’d like to thank our dedicated teams, talented leaders and world-class franchisees for their contributions to our #GoodGrowth strategy. https://lnkd.in/euZXm4zW

Social Impact Strategist | Business Equity Accelerator | Board Director & Trustee | Ashridge Executive Coach | Nonprofit CEO
Interesting new launch by McDonald's and another attempt to gain share from Starbucks. From a branding perspective, it’s simply an odd move (but I’ve not seen the market research). Having acquired 33% stake in Pret A Manger (2001-2008) seems to me that McDonalds main struggle is internal transfer of employee knowledge and legacy of learning from their greatest investment which is their human capital. So many companies oversee their greatest assets (humans) and simply plough huge amounts of money into brand building without completely understanding that the answers are always internal… for individuals and businesses. McDonald’s has been in the news a lot in 2023 suffering major brand reputation damage, in November this year UK Boss has apologised for widespread harassment and bullying of workers. While not obvious, these two stories are interconnected and relevant to how the business is losing equity. Looks like McDonalds really needs our task force 😁! What do you think?
