I find myself inspired by people who can do great things with simple ideas.
Hot dogs for example. These accidental delights have been around since the early 1900s. You can't go to a restaurant, grocery store of sporting event without seeing 1100 different varieties of one; however, I found myself being inspired by a vendor who was able to take some simple, like hot dogs and make it valuable service to me.
Passing through my hometown of Fresno CA I discovered this place called Brown Bear Dogs. This hotdoggerie is located on Fresno and Herndon in the Chilis parking lot. I was hungry, grumpy from the drive and didn't feel like the social settings of Chilis so I tried it.
They had a drive-through; which I liked because, like I said I didn't feel like being social. The queue was brief and in a moments notice I was greeted by an Asian face with a big friendly smile.
There were no less than 25 kind of dogs from you to choose from. Exotic flavors like Kung Pao dogs to traditional flavors like the Chicago dog and the All American Chili Dog. For 5 bucks (1990s prices) I got a dog, a drink and a bag of chips and within 5 minutes I was on my way. I was so pleased with the experience I even bought a gift certificate (which I will probably give away at my next sales meeting).
Sure. It's just a hot dog but the experience was able to meet all my expectations.
That's what I'm trying to do at KwiqEvents! anticipate the expectations of our clients while keeping the experience simple. That's not easy when we're dealing with 1,000s of employees and multiple events but its a bar that I have set for myself and one I attend to achieve, regularly.
Hot dogs from Heaven. Simple. Satisfying. Service.
Thank you for reading,
Rick
