ON DEMAND QSR ROUNDTABLE
Re-imagining the guest experience with Shake Shack
Recent research reveals that only 22% of consumers plan to return to pre-COVID dining habits when the pandemic ends. Shake Shack was slated for monumental growth when the pandemic hit, and like the entire restaurant industry, had to take action to address changing customer habits.
Join Nina Lakhani, Director of Consumer Insights and Analytics at Shake Shack, Alison Brown, Head of Brand Experience Delivery at Qualtrics, and Lauren Helbig, Global Head of Locations CX Solution Strategy at Qualtrics, to discuss how Shake Shack:
- Quickly transformed its on-premise experience, store format, and digital guest experiences
- Planned for the uncertain future while achieving ambitious growth goals, such as opening 40 new Shacks
- Acted on quick service restaurant (QSR) trends that are becoming mainstays and look to change the industry going forward
