Company 3 reported that our team at Chicago Steak Company made the implementation very easy to handle. “We can just send over a list if we have several addresses to ship to. Or fire off an email with an address and the item we want to send. It is very convenient,” a representative highlighted.

Last but not least, our fourth participant explained that “before we enrolled in this reward program we used to personally pick up and ship meat to our different locations. This is not only a much more cost-effective method, but the ease that this company provides is spectacular.”

Even in Company 3, where the program is not used as an employee reward, they highlighted that nearly all of their customers receive the benefits of this program. According to a representative of the D.C.-based catering business, “Everyone LOVES the steaks. Usually it is unexpected so there is additional appreciation from our clients. But the quality is always well received.”
