Store: 1164

Employee: David Maloney

​​​

Customer's Comments: I want to recognize our delivery driver. He got us our food fast and got pretty wet in the process. He parked on the street and walked up to our door and handed it to my wife. He just did a great job. We are having the remnants of the hurricane hit us in upstate South Carolina today, so it was really rainy and windy too. The remnants of Hurricane Isaias hit upstate South Carolina today, and I thought it would be a good day to have some warm food delivered. The delivery driver went way out of his way. We have a longer driveway with a hill, and unfortunately, he had parked at the bottom, walked up, and got pretty wet delivering the pizza. He did a great job!

ALl ABout the Quality

Awesome job to the following stores for leading product quality! This is based off the AI system/camera right above every cut station. When a box is closed. AI technology rewinds the clock a second or two to capture a picture of the product and grade each pizza as a pass or fail. The key components are crust size and roundness (Looking for 1" crust), cheese distribution (no red edges or spots of missing cheese), and topping distribution. It counts the pepperoni so using the right amount every time. It takes everyone on the same page and everyone doing their part to produce high scores.
