Fall Forward with 4xi: New Resources, Insights, and Innovations

LinkedIn friends and connections,

We hope you enjoyed a wonderful summer filled with cherished moments alongside your family and friends. As the kids return to school and we shift our focus to closing out Q3, we are excited to embrace the Fall season and explore how we can help you reach your goals.

4xi360: Free Resource Library for You

This summer we launched 4xi360, our Free Resource Center for the hospitality and service industry. Whether you’re leading a foodservice organization, managing a restaurant, operating a hotel, or involved in facilities services, education, leisure, or retail, 4xi360 is your new go-to hub for enterprise-level tools, resources, and support. Over time, we will continue to build upon this library with the help of our members.

If there is a tool or resource you need to hit your goals and it isn’t currently available, we encourage you to reach out. We’ll create it and share it back with the group because we are always Better Together.

Experience Matters!

At 4xi we believe that Better Together is in the Power of the Collective and part of that collective is to help you reach your goals. We want to help organizations thrive on Customer Service and Experience. To do that we have put together a voice of the customer survey to gather feedback and insight into what customers are looking for from businesses, brands, and customer service, among other things in today’s fast-paced world.

We are proud to launch what will become our Annual Customer Experience (CX) Survey, which we will utilize to produce our Annual CX Report with detailed research. Customer feedback drives continuous improvement, enhances employee learning, and provides the metrics needed to measure success. From service recovery opportunities to celebrating team successes, surveys offer a roadmap to better serve customers every day. Your voice matters. Your voice makes a difference to businesses. Take our 2024 Customer Experience survey and help transform how businesses serve you.

We hope you will join us and lend your voice to the conversation. We look forward to hearing from you and sharing the insights with you once we have completed the report in January 2025.

Data-Science based Consumer Pricing (PPP)

Maybe costs aren’t your concern but, you want to increase your revenue or adjust your pricing appropriately and don’t know that the best way to approach it. 4xi recently released the Pricing Power Parity Index, referred to as the PPP or P3. ?P3 allows foodservice leaders to understand price comparisons across various levels of their portfolios – at global, national, regional, and metro levels. It gives you the ability to see if you need to raise or lower prices to stay competitive and fair, based on economic conditions within your location footprint.

If you are interested in learning more about how this might help, please reach out and we would like to show you an example reflective of your sites.
