1986 Hardee's Restaurant Training Video - 2/3

Let's go eat out at the BEST Hardee's restaurant in the world!!
Many MORE hamburgers were harmed in the making of this video. :P

[@dannyb.7219]

My girlfriend is laughing at me for watching these. But if one of us ever need a job at Hardee’s in 1989, I’ll be the one having the last laugh. That’s the Hardee’s difference.

I don’t know why I find these training videos so calming.

[@nickmoreno3885]

probably because the real world of fast food is nothing like that

[@ianturnbow7011]

I think it's the physiological response from seeing all of the tackiness combined with the false sense of security of the calming voice. There's a certain implication here.

[@Phil_Melone]

Totally agree with you. I do not like ordering stuff from a fast food restaurant to go and finding about 50% of my fries spilt out on the bottom of the bag outside the fry box.

[@TheRedBanner]

I was a supervisor at a Hardee's (early 90s) when they changed to making things to order rather than pre-cooking. It only took a few months to to from big money to no money. I still like to hit up a Hardee's when I can find one while traveling, but they are way too slow in a world where people get 30 minutes or less for lunch.

[@2K-Tan]

TheRedBanner I work at one now and constantly deal with customers that aren't aware we aren't "true fast food" and dont know their food is getting made to order. It doesn't help we run a skeleton crew and I'm frontline so the customers waiting for their food are mad at me because their is one guy in the back having to make it all 😂 Hardees these days does no business because like you said it's too slow to be fast food and pretty pricey too. So people that want that just go to an actual dine in restaurant.

[@velvetpilot2008]

@@2K-Tan it's called "fast casual". It's in the same league as Chick-fil-A. Sure you wait longer but your food is better.

[@holidayhawk1991]

This is 11 years later, so you might not see it, but maybe someone else who worked fast food back in the day will. I worked at McDonald's for several years in the late 2000s; did you guys just not have many special orders back then? I think back and a huge chunk of our orders were special orders, even if it was just to add/remove one item. We would have either had to throw away so much food (or just serve it past its best buy time) if we pre-cooked now. Every time I watch these videos I always wonder if people special ordered less back then, or if this was just something you had to deal with.

[@TheRedBanner]

​@@holidayhawk1991restaurants figure out what the most likely order will be, and that is the standard item. During peak times we would have some of each premade, sitting in the chutes. I don't doubt that over time people have gotten more used to customizing their orders. The difference though back then in the case I mentioned is that we went from having dozens of cooked hamburger or chicken patties in warming trays ready to be assembled to waiting for the customers to order them before beginning to cook them. It went from taking less than a minute to assemble a sandwich to more than 5 minutes. That's a lot in fast food. I worked for franchisees that had 5 locations, and all of them were shut down in about a year. They were all in locations that served people on a limited schedule. Mine was near the high school, college, and one of the largest factories. The people who were packing our lines did not have time to wait for every order to be made start to finish. Wasn't long before we were spending the lunch hour watching the Wendy's, McDonald's, Taco Bell, and Burger King that surrounded us serving all the customers.

[@mikeradloff4065]

I used to watch these on vhs back in the 80s, my favorite was Billy Bob Burger grabbing the customer by the shirt and yelling at them “YOU WANT ANY FRIES WITH THAT?!”

[@roachtoasties]

Sometimes a customer might ask to warm a baby bottle? I have more of a chance of winning the Powerball jackpot, twice, than that happening. I worked in a fast food restaurant (Taco Bell, company owned) for 1 1/2 years, and nobody was ever asked that. That 45 second goal for serving the customer was 30 seconds at T.B. An absolute impossibility, unless you want to serve crap to the customer. Even though it was impossible, upper management (above store managers) used that as a reason to get rid of managers, assistant managers, leads, etc., they didn't want anymore. Just an excuse to fire people, not as some sort of customer service goal.

[@DarkAvatar1313]

I don't about Hardee's in the 80's but I used to manage a 711 in 00's, one coffee of the smallest size paid for the cost of the Coffee to make about 20-30 times over and that's including the cost of the cup. Even if the guy takes the whole pot in the thermos they are making bank because the biggest cost is the cup. Drinks are one of the biggest profit margin items in food retail.

[@gregorycastorena7697]

[@jasoncinema]

Correct. They TRIED to just switch Hardee’s over to Carl’s Jr., with merely a sign advertising Hardee’s Breakfast menu, but the test markets in the Midwest were epic fails, and led to such a huge customer revolt, they said fine, fuck it - it’ll remain Hardee’s in the Midwest, the South, and the East Coast, and Carl’s Jr. remains the same on the West Coast, Alaska, and Hawaii.
