Fall 2013 Edition - Boddie

welcome
Boddie-Noell Enterprises, Inc. | Fall 2013
Welcoming two new
Hardee’s to our family!

Welcome
Putting our best face forward!

Terry Lewis
What is the “face” that our guests see when they
choose to eat at our Hardee’s restaurant? They
see the facility itself, both the exterior and the
interior. They also see the faces of our employees. On both counts, 2013 has been a year of
putting our best face forward.
“We will have re-modeled about
75 restaurants this year. We did
about 175 in the past several
years, and next year we’ll finish
up about 75 more,” explains Mike
Boddie, President of Restaurant
Operations for BNE. The remodels
include a new red roof where
possible, new signage, updated
landscaping and parking lots, as
well as
many
changes on
the interior
of the
restaurant.
“ It’s an exciting time,
for our customers and
our employees.”
This
was a five year initiative. It has
required a large amount of capital
investment, and came on the
heels of the economic recession
of 2008. Terry Lewis, Vice
President of Operations for BNE’s
Hardee’s Division gives us some
perspective. “If you think back
to about 10 years
ago, we had
to close a few
restaurants. That’s
never a good thing
for our customers to see. That
can imply that the brand is going
away, but now what they see
are our restaurants being remodeled, and we’ve even added
a couple of new restaurants this
year. It’s an exciting time, for our
customers and our employees.”
The latest additions to the BNE
Hardee’s group are new locations,
Courtland, Virginia and Mullins,
South Carolina. We continue
putting our best face forward!

Boddie-Noell Enterprises - The Third Generation
It’s probably safe to assume that back in 1962 when Mayo and Nick Boddie opened their first
Hardee’s with their uncle Carleton Noell, the last thing on their minds was whether or not their
children, let alone their grandchildren, might one day work in the family business.
B
NE employees know that it was not
uncommon to see Nick and Mayo out
in the restaurants. They traveled a lot and
kept in close contact with the growing family
of employees, which today is more than
12,000. The same was true when Mayo, Sr.’s
three sons and Nick’s two sons-in-law began
working in the business in the late 1970s.
Now, five decades later, there is another
generation of the Boddie family who have
become actively involved in Boddie-Noell
Enterprises. Bill Jr., Bunn, and Pen Boddie
are the grandsons of Mayo Boddie, Sr., and
the sons of Bill Boddie.
We caught up with the three twentysomethings late one afternoon. As they

deal of gratitude and admiration for everyone
that built Boddie-Noell from the ground
up. With this admiration comes a sort of
3 | ENTERPRISER Fall 2013
“We grew up at Rose Hill, and from the
time we were 12 or 13 years old we started
learning the jobs on the farm,” Bill Boddie,
Jr. explains. “We tagged cows, worked in
the shop, mowed fields and worked in the
chicken houses. When we were old enough
we each started working at a Hardee’s
restaurant. I worked at the Hardee’s in
Sharpsburg, on the front line taking orders,
and some on the backline cooking too.” He
goes on to describe an event that happened
one summer when he had begun working
as a waiter at Texas Steakhouse, owned
at that time by BNE. “I was working as a
waiter, and my brother Bunn was working
as a cook. About two weeks into the job,
I was starting to get some confidence. I
was feeling pretty good about myself. My
grandfather, Mayo, Sr. comes in one day and
says “You’re not sweating hard enough; you
go trade places with your brother Bunn in
the kitchen.” He made us switch because
he wanted us to experience all the different
positions. There’s no getting a comfort level
with him, because once you get comfortable
he switches you to something else. I know
it’s helped us grow and be able to adapt to
change.”
Bill Boddie, Jr. is now Operations Services
Manager and has been working for BNE
full time for just over six years. In a careful
plan to expose him to many different facets
of the business, he’s done everything from
getting up to bake biscuits at 4:00 a.m.,
work as an Assistant Manger, General
Manager, Regional Training Manager, and a
District Manager. Initially, as part of a sevenweek school for managers, he was required
to learn the positions within a Hardee’s
restaurant. Later when he began working
with the Training Manager and traveling to
different restaurants, he would jump on the
front line and start taking orders when they
walked in a restaurant. “My manager had to
tell me to slow down, back up, and see what
the other people were doing,” he laughs.
Bill, Jr. now spends about half of his time out
in the restaurants, as he is a liaison between
operations teams in the restaurants, and
support teams from the home office.
Bunn Boddie is currently working in Human
Resources as an HR Safety Generalist.
Like his two brothers (and his father and
uncles before that) he has held various
positions so that he could begin to develop a
thorough knowledge and deep appreciation
about the many positions that make up a
company like BNE. He has done everything
from cashiering to cooking, working as an
Assistant Manager, General Manager, a
District Manager, and Training Manager.
When asked how long he’s been working
at the company, he answers jokingly. “I
feel like I’ve been working at the company
most of my life. I remember being about
four years old and helping roll out biscuits in
the cafeteria at the home office. I worked
many summers at Rose Hill doing farm
chores, and then when I was 16 and legally
old enough to work in the restaurants, I
started working at the Hardee’s in Little
Washington.” Bunn realizes now because of
his work as a Safety Generalist why he was
not allowed to work at some positions that
first summer. “I pretty much had to stay on
the front line, because of my age. Back then
I thought it was because they wanted to
keep me away from the kitchen, the slicer,
and the fry vat. Now years later, I understand
it’s because there are safety regulations
about that sort of thing.”
was more of a challenge than I had realized.
It gave me a deep appreciation for all that
our people do.”
Bunn also remembers the summer when
his grandfather Mayo, Sr. insisted he
trade places with his brother Bill at Texas
Steakhouse. “He made me a server and
even though I’m good around people, the
whole concept of serving and carrying trays
While there is plenty of opportunity to go
around for all, there has never been any
pressure for anyone to choose to work
in the family business. In the case of the
second generation, each of them took
different paths that led to their current
positions. Each was
allowed to find their areas
of interest, their strengths
and their weaknesses.
Today, Bill, Bunn and Pen
have chosen to work
in the business. One of
Mayo Jr.’s daughters,
Ann, works at the home
office in the Payroll and
Insurance department.
Most, if not all of the third
generation that are old
enough have spent time
Pen Boddie, the youngest of the three
brothers worked several months at both a
Hardee’s and at the Highway Diner in Rocky
Mount; however Pen is more at home
working in the outdoors. “I worked as a
cook for a while at the Highway Diner, and
well it’s just not me,” Pen jokes. “When
those tickets started coming in fast, 15 or 20
at a time, I just got too stressed. I’d rather
be outside!” Pen has worked closely with
Larry Corbett, Manager of Rose Hill Farm in
the cattle operations and currently manages
the 8 chicken houses at Rose Hill Farm. “It’s
about being happy,” says Pen.
The three brothers have a great deal of
respect for each other’s skills and work well
together.
Finding Your Own Path
Of course there are more branches to the
Boddie family tree than the three young men
who are currently working full time in the
business. Mayo, Sr. has 3 sons, 3 grandsons
and 6 granddaughters; Nick Boddie, has
two daughters, one son, 2 grandsons and 3
granddaughters.

working in the restaurants or at the home
office. Many are now either in school or are
pursuing career paths outside of BoddieNoell such as a chef, designer, educational
trip planner, film producer, foreign exchange
banker, and nurse.
Bill Boddie, Sr. cautions against placing too
much emphasis on his three sons who are
working in the business now. His reluctance
is twofold. He explains that some of the
second and third generations will not choose
to work within the family business and
therefore the family is very cautious about
bringing undue attention to one family
member over another.
Recognizing Strengths and Providing
Opportunity: Believing in People
Just as the immediate Boddie family
members recognize that they each bring
different strengths to the business, they also
recognize that the growth and success of
BNE has been possible only by relying on
the strengths of many, many people.
Bill Boddie Sr. sums it up nicely, “While
this might be about how some of the third
generation is now working in the business,
and the uniqueness that brings, the real
story is about how the other people in
this company have made that possible. I
really appreciate how all the people here
at Boddie-Noell Enterprises are helping my
sons learn about the business, just as they
did for me when I started. The real story is
our people.” v

ment. The Hardee’s/ BB&T Classic, as it
is now called, usually draws around 200
golfers annually, many of them who return
year after year. Each year the proceeds go
to support the East Carolina Council of the
Boy Scouts of America. To date, this tournament has raised more than $3.2 million
dollars for the East Carolina Council.
A
ll golfers dream of finishing a hole with
the score of Eagle, which is two strokes
under par. It’s rare and it takes a lot of hard
work, and dedication to the game. So it is
with becoming an Eagle Scout. It’s the highest rank a Boy Scout can earn. Nick Boddie
was always proud of his Eagle Scout status
From L: Cathy Ipock, Cubmaster BSA Troop
752, and Pam Larimer (BNE)
which he earned in 1944. Nick often commented how the values he learned in scouting guided him in every aspect of his life,
including family and business. He remained
passionate about the positive role that scouting can play in young men’s lives, until his
passing in 2011. He wanted other boys to
have the kind of experiences he had enjoyed
in scouting, and that was the primary reason
he started the BSA Classic Golf Tournament
back in 1989.
“Nick had some very clear ideas about the
tournament from the very first year. He
knew he wanted it held in the Southern
Pines area so that it would attract attendees from all over the country. He knew he
wanted it to be a gathering of our vendors,
and he knew it should be fun,” Pam Larimer,
Executive Assistant, declares. This is the
11th consecutive year that Pam has coordinated the event. She begins working on
the invitational brochure in May, and gets
very busy come mid-August coordinating
sponsorship opportunities and registration.
“I enjoy being involved because it helps a
very worthy cause and it has also allowed
me to get to know many of our wonderful
vendors.”
Tim Lane, VP of Purchasing and Product Development at BNE, and also an Eagle Scout
himself, is also involved with this event. For
years Tim attended the event as a vendor,
when he worked for FFM. Now, as a BNE
employee, and a long time advocate of the
benefits of Scouting, Tim not only MCs the
event, but has a hand in organizing as well.
As a troop leader, and a member of the East
Tim Lane (BNE), Scoutmaster
BSA Troop 7 & Troop 40
Carolina Council, he sees firsthand how
important the financial support from this golf
tournament is to the Scouting program in
Eastern North Carolina. “We’re so proud of
the amount of money this tournament has
raised over the years. It’s really invaluable to
Scouting in this area.”
The East Carolina Council reaches more
than 15,000 youth, ages 6 through 20,
including boys and girls. Traditional Scouting
programs, and other outreach programs that
include some after-school activities, provide
safe environments for thousands of children
to learn life skills, get career guidance and
build character. The East Carolina Council
covers 20 counties. Funding from the BSA
Classic Golf tournament means some youth
who otherwise would not be able to go to
summer camp, weekend camping trips, or
participate in after school activities, get to be
involved.
The tournament is held each year in late
September in Southern Pines at Mid
Pines Inn & Golf Club. Golf with good
friends, for a good cause in a great place!

Homes On Parade
In late October, Viniterra
featured two homes as part
of the Richmond Builder’s
Associations’ 62nd Annual
Parade of Homes.
The homes included were built by
Falcone Custom Homes and Dumont

who work closely with the
real estate division of
Viniterra. “In addition
to opening two of the
homes at Viniterra for
the public to tour, we
were also sponsors of
the Parade of Homes,
which is a great
marketing tool for us,”
explains Jimmy Forest, Viniterra Sales
Manager. The Parade of Homes brought
traffic into the neighborhood, increasing
visibility and interest in this community
located twenty miles east of Richmond,
Virginia.
There are four new homes currently
under construction or recently finished in
this community designed and managed
by BNE Land and Development. After
several years of sluggish sales due to
economic downturns, the trend is
now moving in a very positive
direction. v
Cooks in the Kitchen
N
ew Kent Winery began offering cooking classes three years ago,
and they have been a very popular event, selling out most sessions
with about 36 students. The classes are offered in Spring, Summer
and early Fall, with local chefs demonstrating the cooking process of
a three to four course meal. Afterwards the students are invited to
eat what was prepared, with a pairing of wine from New Kent Winery.
Starting this Fall there will be both a mid-day class and an evening class,
to accommodate those who work during the day. Class sizes will be
slightly smaller, allowing participants to get more one-on-one time with
the guest chefs who share their expertise. v

Hardee’s Heros On Hershberger Road
had helped pull the other two passengers
out of the car and through the water.
“We saw him take off, and then we
followed pursuit, basically, to see if we
could help,” Johns said.
At the Hardee’s restaurant on Hershberger Road, business was
slow on Wednesday afternoon. Heavy rains and flooding kept
most customers away, and traffic was backed up as people tried
to avoid driving in the high waters. About 3:30 p.m. part of nearby
Ferncliff Avenue was flooded and impassable to motorists.
H
ardee’s customers and employees
were safe and dry inside, but then a
woman came running up in panic. She told
employees that people were stuck in a car
on Hobock Drive, which runs behind the
restaurant.
Hardee’s cook Timothy Price was working
in the back and came to the front just to
see what the commotion was about. He
went outside to see what had happened.
A white Chevrolet Monte Carlo was
already partially submerged, the murky
brown water already at the car windows.
Several people stood around and watched.
Witnesses said some people were even
taking pictures. Most people were too
scared to go near the water that hovered
about 5 feet deep in some spots.
But not Price. The 22-year-old father said
he thought he saw a child in the passenger
seat of the car, and without thinking twice,
he was gone.“I just took off,” said Price.
“I threw everything out of my pockets and
took off.”
As the road dipped, Price went from
walking in 3 feet of water to fighting water
that almost reached his neck. But he halfswam, half-waded until he got to the car.
A young woman — witnesses guessed
she was in her early 20s — was crying
and in a panic in the driver’s seat. A man
in his late teens or early 20s was in the
back seat. An elderly woman was in the
passenger seat and was so small that
Price and others mistook her for a child.
Nearly a foot of water was already in
the car, but they were able to get the
windows down. Price reached into the car’s
passenger seat and told the elderly woman
to put her head down before he put his
arms underneath her and carried her out
the window, holding her over his shoulder.
“It was an adrenaline rush,” said Price. “I
was just trying to help her. I was just trying
to get her out.” When he turned around,
he saw his shift manager, Dominique
Bell, 23, headed toward the car as well as
fellow employee Sarah Johns, 27.
Bell was at first worried about his
employees.“I was the manager on duty,
so I was kind of iffy about the whole
thing, but I wanted to help,” Bell said.
So, without even removing his shoes, he
plunged into the water.
The woman clung to Price as he carried
her away from the car. By the time he
brought her to a dry area, Bell and Johns
Johns said she tried to calm the driver,
whom she said was hysterical. By this
point people were cheering the Hardee’s
workers on. After everyone was safe, the
three of them helped to push the car out
of the water. Unfortunately the car stalled
and had to be towed. However, the driver
and passengers came inside the restaurant
and thanked the employees that came to
their aid.
“The guy, he shook my hand and told me
thank you,” said Price. No one took the
names of the people in the car. Because
they were cold and soaking wet, Price,
Bell and Johns took a break to change, but
all of them finished their shifts. They had
another watery problem to tackle. Water
had seeped into the restaurant, covering
the floor. About 4:30 p.m., Hardee’s had to
close for two hours as the staff cleaned up.
Hardee’s District Manager Gene Regan
checked on the restaurant after hearing
about the flooding. Employees told him
about the rescue and he was overwhelmed
with pride. “The obvious thing is we always
want to take care of our customers,” said
Regan. “To me, I think it’s a tremendous
blessing to have them working for us,
because what they did was way beyond
taking care of our customers.”
When Bell walked in to work Saturday,
someone shouted, “Hey, hero!” at him,
which he just shrugged off. Price said he
believes in karma and he was taught to
lend a helping hand growing up. He said
now that he’s a father, there’s an instinct
that made him dive into the water to help.
Johns said they would do it again without
question. “I would want somebody to
come help me if I was in trouble,” she said.

Do you have what it takes to be
a SuperStar?
T
he SuperStar Service initiative
began earlier this year which has
direct effects on our customers and our
employees.
“In some ways this program is just about
providing what we would call ‘southern
hospitality.’ It’s about making the customer
feel like an honored guest in your home,”
Terry Lewis states. “When I was growing
up, if you pulled up to a service station
there were two people who came out to
help you and did everything they could in
the few short minutes you were there. It
was a very customer oriented time, but
that is not as prominent in our culture
today. Our challenge is to explain that level
of service to our younger employees and
help them understand how important it
is,” he continues. There are several ways
BNE is currently reinforcing the SuperStar
Service program. About once a week, the
positive comments that come in on our
customer contact line are distributed to all
Greenville: “Each visit we are welcomed
by Cody. He is the friendliest, most
enthusiastic worker we have ever met. He
always has a smile and makes you feel at
home. Today, it was pouring rain and he
came to our table and told us when we
were ready to leave he had an umbrella
and would
escort us to
our car. We
watched as he
went to every
car that pulled
into the parking
lot and he
escorted each
customer into
Cody Harding
the restaurant
with his umbrella. We were shocked!
He needs a pat on the back and some
recognition.”
Waynesboro: “You have an outstanding
employee by the name of Devon. He is
customer friendly, moves very fast and
seems to
always be
busy. He is
young but I
feel would
be good

setting the
Devon Carter
example
for other
employees. I personally
ran a business for 22 years
before retiring and wish I
had someone like him at
the time. ”
Rewarding good
customer service is
important
our restaurants. Keeping real examples in
front of our employees and rewarding good
customer service is important. Here are
two examples of SuperStar Service:
There are also SuperStar
Service Tip Sheets and
posters that are provided
to each restaurant that can be used in
team meetings, training sessions and
displayed. Emphasizing and explaining the
components of customer service, such as
good listening skills, anticipating customer
needs, going above and beyond what is
expected, are highlighted in the Tip Sheets.
Terry Lewis states that with SuperStar
Service one of the goals is “to see the
needs of the guests before they even tell
us. It might include walking a customer to
their car with an umbrella in a rainstorm,
holding the door open for a guest or
getting them refills on their drinks. It’s
going the extra mile.” Thanks for providing

SPOTLIGHT: Hardee’s of Washington #2
First Anniversary
Hardee’s of Washington #2 recently
celebrated their one year anniversary. The
store first opened July 23, 2012. Local
law enforcement and fire department
were there with various demonstrations
throughout the day to help celebrate the
first year!

The first Saturday of each month
from June until October, Hardee’s
of Washington #2 hosted a “Cruise

wanted to showcase their old-time car.
The parking lot was always full of really

the menu from a customer’s standpoint.
Just simple things like making sure the
employees dress neatly, the lights are on
in the parking lot at night, the dining room
is clean and orderly,” Bill Boddie, Jr. goes
on to explain. The assessment will also
evaluate the menu items and sales level of
each item to insure that the restaurant is
offering customers what they want.
T
he Highway Diner is now on Facebook.
Gail Sawyer, the General Manager
worked closely with Bunn Boddie to set
up the Facebook page. “It’s a great way
to keep our customers informed about the
daily menu specials, and special offerings
like our Pumpkin Pie Milkshake that was
offered this Fall. I try to put something on
there almost every day,” Gail explains. If

Bill Boddie, Jr. has also been focusing
some of his time on the Highway Diner,
helping put some procedures in place for
conducting assessments. “Since we are
a single unit, not part of a large number of
franchises like our Hardee’s restaurants

categories. This is the second time Rose
Hill Farms Sporting Clays Range has
hosted this event. The money raised
went to Vidant Children’s Hospital.
On September 28th, the Tar River Chapter
of the National Wild Turkey Federation
sponsored its 11th Annual JAKES Day
at the sporting clays range. “The JAKES
program is dedicated to informing and
involving youth in wildlife conservation
and the wise stewardship of our natural
resources.” This event was free for all
children with many activities geared to
wildlife conservation. All proceeds went to
support Scout Troops that assisted with
the event.
Inside the manor house at Rose Hill, there’s
a very talkative parrot, whose cage sits in the
sunroom at the south end of the house. From
where the parrot perches, one can see outside to
the small lake, where a white swan floats silently
across the water. In the nearby pasture are over 200
head of black angus cattle, whose murmurs get louder and louder
as they make their way toward the barn at dusk. Further toward
the back of the property sit 8 chicken houses, where thousands
of chickens are raised. There is much to see, and hear on this
elegant country estate outside of Nashville, NC.
Rose Hill.
It’s a working farm, a conference center,
and a sporting clay range. It’s one of the
busiest wedding
venues in North
Carolina. It’s the
perfect place for a
corporate retreat
or an awards
banquet.
As the sun sets, the parrot gets
quiet, as the swans, cattle and
chickens settle down. Yet Rose Hill
is still buzzing with activity. v

Kayaking for a Cause: Red Cross
I
n October of 2012, Larry Williamson
was sitting at home with his wife
Carolyn sharing his thoughts about being
privileged to serve on the board of the
Fred Turnage Chapter of the American
Red Cross in Rocky Mount. He had been
deeply touched by the many stories he
had heard about the Red Cross being
there for so many when they personally
needed it. With every experience he had
become increasingly aware of just how
many lives volunteers and members of
the Red Cross touch on a daily basis. His
thoughts and experiences moved him to
want to do something personal to support
this most worthwhile organization. An idea
was born.
The region of the Red Cross that serves
Rocky Mount also serves fifteen counties
along the coast of North Carolina, areas
frequently impacted by natural disasters.
To bring awareness and help raise much
needed funds, Larry decided he would
paddle (kayak) through all fifteen counties.
Combining his spirit of
adventure, a desire to
support the Red Cross
and his passion for the
water, he began to make
plans for a solo, 220
mile, 12 day kayak trip
down the Intracoastal
Waterway.
“You cannot help but be touched by the
commitment and the sincere desire of
these individuals to be there for others
when they need it the most. Family home
fires, tornadoes and other disasters…
most of us never really think how easy it
could be for us to be the one impacted.
Yet more and more I began to understand
that this happens to someone on a daily
basis. I could ignore it no longer.”
Larry did not let the fact that he did not
have the proper kayak or most of the gear
he needed to make such a trip prevent
him from moving forward. He presented
the idea to his
supervisor Bob
Crumley, Sr.
VP of Human
Resources, and
got the support
of Boddie-Noell.
Next he made
a presentation
to the board of
the Red Cross,
sharing with
them what he was going to do. Now he
was committed. Researching the area
using Google Earth and trips to the coast,
he began to finalize plans. On paper the
idea was pretty straightforward: begin
in Currituck County in Coinjock, and
end twelve days later at the Hardee’s
of Surf City, just above Wilmington. In
reality, there are some things you just
can’t plan for when scheduling a trip so
far in advance. One was weather. Little
did he know he would be making this
trip in some of the stormiest weather of
the summer. The first seven days Larry
“most of us never
really think about how
easy it could be for us
to be the ones impacted.”
22 | ENTERPRISER Fall 2013
paddled through rain and storms, at times
battling white caps, 15-20 mph headwinds
and waves of 3-4 feet. Days where he had
planned to paddle 6-8 hours took 9-10.
In all, the trip required approximately 83
hours of paddling.
When asked what was the most
memorable part of his adventure, Larry
responded, “the support I received from
so many people.” First of all, the trip
would not have happened had it not been
for the support of Boddie-Noell. Red Cross
representatives met him at planned stops
restocking his supplies of food and water,
people opened their homes to offer him
places to stay, strangers offered their
support. And then there was Carolyn, who
was there from the start and remained
an active participant throughout the trip.
Larry says if there was a supply item he
needed, she made sure he had it. The
many nights he planned to camp dwindled
down to just one as Carolyn showed up
at the end of most days to take him to a
hotel for a good night’s rest.
“It was quite an adventure,” Larry said,
“and I look forward to the next one! Not
only was it a lot of fun, we were able to
raise a little over $9,400 to help the Red
Cross be there for even more people in
times of need.” v
From L: Bob Crumley, Larry Williamson and
Mayo Boddie, met at Hardee’s of Surf City the
day Larry ended his kayaking trip.
Loss Prevention & Safety
Keeping Safe During the Holidays
The holidays are a festive time of year. A time to give Thanksgiving for our great
nation and to celebrate a Savior! But as the holiday season approaches, we should
all pause to think about personal safety and theft prevention. Unfortunately, the
holiday time of year also has the highest crime rates. Don’t let CRIME spoil your
holiday. Below are some powerful, yet simple strategies to make your holidays
the joyful times they should be.
Personal Safety
• When
shopping, shop
during daylight
hours whenever
possible. If you must shop at night, go
with a friend or family member
Ted Polensky
Director of Loss
Prevention, CFE
• Park in well lighted areas and avoid
parking next to vans or trucks where
people can hide
• When traveling, ask a neighbor to watch
your home and don’t forget to have mail
& newspapers stopped
• When approaching your car, be alert of
your surroundings and have your keys
ready in hand
• At the restaurants, follow all cash
handling procedures. Don’t cut corners
and create an opportunity for someone
• If you must use an ATM, choose one
that is located inside a mall, or welllighted location
• At home, keep doors locked and be
cautious of solicitors. If in doubt, don’t
open the door
• Avoid carrying your checkbook, cash, and
credit cards all together in one wallet and
don’t flash large sums of money in public
Theft Prevention
• Don’t leave valuables in plain sight. Store
away your GPS, MP3’s, or cell phones
• Keep all car doors locked and windows
closed while in or out of your car
• Lock packages in your trunk or out of
plain sight
At Boddie-Noell we care about each and
every person and your personal safety
and security are so vitally important.
Remember, just a couple quick steps can
make the difference. Happy Holidays! v
Bring It Out of the Shadows
If you have not done so yourself, have you ever heard of someone who slipped
and fell and the first thing they did was look around to see if anyone saw it? We
have a minor accident and for whatever reason we are embarrassed. This seems
to be a natural reaction, and to be honest, most of us have done it at one time or
another.
How does this
approach work
for us in our
restaurants? Not
so well. If we
have an accident
in one of our restaurants the last thing
we should do is try to hide it. First of all,
we are required to report every accident
we have regardless if someone was
injured or not. It could be the situation that
Larry Williamson
Vice President of
Asset Protection
caused an accident for one person might
represent a potential hazard for another
person as well.
When the accident is reported it gives
us an opportunity to address the cause
and take measures to prevent it from
happening again. We should share
information (not necessarily the name
of the person) about an accident and its
cause with everyone in the restaurant.
Discussing accidents raises awareness
and reinforces our commitment to safety.
What was the last accident that happened
in your restaurant? What steps were
taken to prevent it from happening
again? If you don’t know, ask. Let’s
bring our commitment to safety and
accident prevention out in the open, let’s
talk about it! v
