Toppers Pizza

Toppers Pizza has a tradition of ringing a cowbell. A lot of cowbells. All new headquarters (HQ) team members get a cowbell and it’s not uncommon to hear them ringing in the halls of HQ as we hit sales records, profit records or just to celebrate a win. Today I want to publicly ring Kevin Wleczyk’s bell for making a difference for 8 years at Toppers.    Kevin has made a substantial difference at Toppers Pizza these last years. He’s our one man tech wrecking crew supporting our headquarters, franchisee operations, store level hardware and software solutions and helping manage our cloud services. If that wasn’t enough, you’d see him collaborating with our chef & innovation team on new food, ideating with our software engineers on POS/Website enhancements, overseeing his thirty seat third party call center partner for technical support, assisting with setting up new stores and saving the day from all manner of strange tech issues that pop up system-wide.   This year, our franchisee’s asked to give out a “Franchisee Support Person of the Year” award at the Toppers Pizza National Convention so they could recognize back office people at our headquarters. It was no surprise to me that Kevin won the first ever award (show above w/ Franchise Advisory Council chairperson Karl Malchow).    Companies thrive with IT excellence. Thanks Kevin for making a MAJOR positive impact at Toppers Pizza and being truly excellent.

Happy 2 Year Anniversary, Samantha Campbell, CDMP!

Happy 8 Year Anniversary, Kevin Wleczyk!

The Toppers Pizza Vendor of the Year award is to recognize outstanding performance among vendors. This can be demonstrated in a number of ways including customer service, store experience, customer relations, store operations, offering significant innovation and community involvement and service.   It was my first time presenting this award and I’m doubly pleased it was one of my vendors: call center vendor Kanekt 365. I’d like to personally congratulate Jeffrey S. Morin and Drew Morin for the excellent services their talented leadership teams provide and to our dedicated support team. This support teams offers both company stores & customers outstanding customer service, high quality hospitality driven interactions, higher average checks, world class call center metrics and really embody our “Give Customers What They Want” business core value.   Through Kanekt 365’s call center services, we’ve taken high performing stores and turned them into super efficient order making/taking/baking machines and for struggling stores, we can take a difficult part of the business operation out, improve profitability and allow time to focus on improving their unique business challenges.    Our busiest days of the year now enjoy little to no hold times when placing orders and stores with explosive short-term sales due to community or sporting events can worry free that the limited number of phone lines in the stores isn’t limiting our ability to do business.   Can’t thank you enough, congrats Kanekt 365!   Pictured left to right, Tony Ellis, Drew Morin, Michelle Arntz (Toppers Call Center Supervisor)
