Start-up - CX Case Study

Helping SIDES to take the world by storm!

The Challenge

SIDES, a new entrant into the food & beverage space has big growth plans.

SIDES is a chicken brand developed by The Sidemen. The seven social media creators, who have over 130m subscribers, launched SIDES with the mission of bringing fans freshly cooked, double coated crispy chicken, alongside seven iconic house sauces.

They are cooking up a storm, with 6 locations opened within 9 months, and a 100 more planned over the next 5 years.  Alongside the restaurants they have launched a snacking range, available through Tesco and One Stop stores, and a new frozen food range through Iceland.

They needed a trusted partner who would get them launched with their customer service solution. There was no manual to refer to, no history on the type of contacts expected and no technology in place. 

Approach

Through our agile approach and quick learning methodology, we:

  • Set up a customer service ticketing system.
  • Developed and agreed a framework for escalations and complaints with restaurant management and operations.
  • Applied a detailed quality plan by utilising our Quality technology.

To ensure we meet (and exceed) the customer experience targets, we: 

Match the SIDES brand energy.

Equip the team to do their jobs well.

We developed training materials for our agents on brand, tone of voice, enquiry types, resolution handling, escalation and complaint management.

Utilise experience and tech.

We use robust training & knowledge capture methodologies by leveraging learning technology.
