Customer Relationships

Running a food truck business is very import when it comes to creating and maintaining customer relationships. At Gryphon’s Greens, we plan to do several things in order to gain a competitive advantage over our competitors.

Once the rewards card has ten initials, the customer will receive a coupon for a free combo that will have an expiry date of one year.

We will be catering to the needs of University of Guelph students as well as the faculty.

Our customers will have a few jobs to do when doing business with us as they will have to first find the location of our food truck. Once they find the location of the truck, they will have to make choices in regards to choosing what they want to order.

We will have several gains for our customers as we will have quick service in order to prevent long lineups and frustrated customers. This is very important aspect that we have to get right because if customers are waiting a long time for their food, many will not return causing our company to lose future business. At Gryphon’s Greens, we will have many options for our customers to choose from that will range from burritos to grilled cheese. We want to make sure there are enough options in order accommodate everyone’s needs because we do not want customers complaining that there are not enough options to
