Description

Every day Burger King restaurants in Moscow and St. Petersburg are visited by a large number of foreigners who speak English, but the language barrier significantly complicates their service. Employees feel insecure, often change cash registers, do not offer all the necessary items on the menu.

The course immerses the employee in a situation where he is at the checkout counter, and in front of him is a foreign client who orders certain dishes. The employee needs to serve the guest in English.

In addition, the restaurant employee must offer the client a bonus french fries at a discount, a milkshake and other additional products or dishes, as well as correctly announce the order amount and accept payment in a convenient format.

Results

Of the 28 employees who completed the training, 18 were re-evaluated better than initially:

• 46% of trained employees report improvements in their communication skills.
  
• The second visit of the secret guest showed that employees began to offer foreigners more dishes, name more products and communicate more freely
  

Burger King plans to continue working with Cerevrum to bring VR training to the company.
