How do they attract the best?

Why can’t any other fast food chains replicate it?

Here’s what Mr. Cathy says:
quote:

What’s the secret behind the Cathy family’s success? Speaking to a packed auditorium at SAS Headquarters in Cary, NC, Cathy shared the company’s approach summed up in their corporate purpose statement: To glorify God by being a faithful steward of all that is entrusted to us. To have a positive influence on all who come in contact with Chick-fil-A.
In keeping with this statement, employees at Chick-fil-A are taught a lesson we should all sit up and pay attention to: “Every life has a story, and often our customers and our employees, need a little grace and a little space when you deal with them because they are either experiencing a problem, just finished having a problem, or are about to have one,” said Cathy.
“The word ‘restaurant’ means place of restoration, and we think of Chick-fil-A as an oasis where people can be restored. We strive to treat people better than the place down the street. One way we do that is by remembering that we’re all people with a lot of emotional things going on that don’t necessarily show on the surface, so we try to offer amenities and kindness that minister to the heart,” he said.

They copied the Popeyes method and do the exact opposite.

If serious:

They don't hire every single person that fills out an application. They also give bonus incentives to current enoloyees who refer quality applicants.

They've built a good reputation as a good place to work (and that probably actually are a good place to work).

The demographic (students, mostly) that need to work fast food would choose to work there 1st. Management has a lot of applicants to pick from

In comparison, Popeyes employees are like they’re on work release from a leper colony.

They ask applicants how upset they'd be if the shake machine they're in charge of is "out of order".

1. gotta have a good work ethic, no attitude. they actually receive reviews and get shite for it.
2. pays relatively well for the job, has a lot of bonus and potential within that job too (my cousin who is intellectually challenged worked for them for the last 6 years. started at $9/hr now he's at $16 and gets bonuses and I believe insurance. He's a fry cook)
3. they hire enough. Compare the # of workers at one time at CFA compared to any other fast food joint
4. they actually have enough applicants they fire you if you don't work hard at the job

I swear the one by me is run as a senior class project or something. The oldest kid there is the shift manager, and hes gotta be saving up for prom right now.

And they mop the floor with just about any other chain.

The store GM is the owner and they are expected to pull shifts like everyone else even if it is just in the office

The are very selective on who gets a store and where it goes

What’s funny is that they treat people the way the left wants corporations to treat people but because he dares to have an opinion about marriage they are hated by the left.

Applicants must spell "culture" on their application, and all the ones who leave out the "r" get tossed.
