The leading pizza franchise is committed to the importance of exceptional customer service by prioritizing a People-First approach to business and a promise of Hospitality Always - designed to ensure a superior guest experience, every time. “As a brand that strives to exceed our guests’ expectations every day, I could not be prouder of our franchisees and team members who are the ones truly deserving of this recognition,” said Steve Seyferth, SVP and Chief Experience Officer at Marco’s Pizza. “While tech and innovation reign supreme in today’s era, this is a reminder that we must not lose sight of human connection, emotion, and empathy as it relates to the guest experience.

Sometimes that means remaking a pizza, giving customers a credit for their next visit, or letting them have a pizza at no charge. We aim to raise the bar when it comes to customer service and as a leader, to me, that’s all about empowering your team and setting a great example.” Marco’s closely monitors its customer service metrics as it aims to make continuous improvements.
