I have to tell others about my local Culver’s, my parents (married for over 60 years) would eat inside there for their weekly date night often and the staff knew them well and would greet them by name.
My Mother passed away last January after catching the flu from resulting complications. My Dad went back a few weeks later by himself for the first time ever, and the front counter staff knew something was wrong. He told me that the whole staff came out from behind the counter and hugged him.
I don’t eat there often as they are on the other side of town but I will always have good things to say about the restaurant and the employees’ compassion they showed my father.
Yeah. Culvers is a "working owner" franchise. Every owner has to put in at least 40 hrs a week to maintain their flag. So you get a lot of hands on managment and community driven locations.
That’s pretty interesting. Thanks for the knowledge.
Edit - I just did a bit more research on this. There was a story released 10 days ago about a young lady who started at Culver’s in her teens and now owns part of that same restaurant. Very cool story. Again, thank you haha!
That type of franchise is more like a general manager with profit sharing. Chick fil A is the same and its not uncommon for long time employees to move up and get their own store one day.
