  • Hey Guys! Welcome to day 2 in my week of fun! Since I'm working today, I decided to take you guys along for the ride and talk a little bit about what it is like in a typical day of working at Chick-fil-A making some deliveries. I wish I could have shared even more, but I didn't want to allow for any possibility that someone could sue me or Chick-fil-A for the words I put out there, and I also wanted to make sure I did not release anyone's private information. Nonetheless, I hope this video provides you guys with a fun way of understanding what it's like to deliver for Chick-fil-A and why I love my job so much. Thank you all for watching, and I'll catch you with a seriously epic vlog tomorrow!

    My store has our own branded cars! It's so surprising to see someone driving their own car. Lol. And your setup is so interesting! All our heating and cooling bags are grey.

      Also my store's delivery is extremely busy, we take about 150 or more total deliveries each day and usually have 5 drivers at a time. It's crazy!

      @@harleybrooke6127 Keep in mind, this video is almost a year old, filmed only a couple months after we first launched delivery, so we went through a lot of changes. We didn’t have any cars at this point and were still using those old bags. Now we have 3 company cars with the new dark grey bags you are referring to, which are way cooler in my opinion. Nevertheless, thanks for watching and leaving a comment! I appreciate you!

      @@lulucastillo3981 Hey! Good luck on your interview. It should be just like a normal job interview where they ask you your availability so let them know whenever you’re able to work, if you have your license, if you have any prior delivery experience, and if you are a good fit for the job. Every interview and every interviewer is different, so I can’t pinpoint exactly what they might ask you, but as long as you answer honestly and thoroughly you should be okay! Truthfully, I’ve been working at Chick-fil-A for almost four years and I was one of our startup delivery drivers, so now I’ve been doing it for about a year and I was never interviewed to become a delivery driver. This is all just information I have observed from seeing other drivers be interviewed in my store. Good luck on your interview and I wish you the best!

    @laniebirley3709 3 роки тому +4

    Hey Seth, what a great video. Any idea how much the average total amount is on your deliveries? Also, what is the highest dollar amount you have ever delivered? I do try to understand how it is profitable for CFA to do deliveries if you are only delivering around 5 on average. Does CFA even make money off a delivery transaction, considering how much money they are paying you and the cost of their delivery cars and gas? I'm guessing the food is upcharged and that there is a delivery charge too. Is there any item that you do not recommend to be delivered? Shakes would be difficult and I would guess the waffle fries get soggy.

    • @SethWard1114
      @SethWard1114  3 роки тому +1

      Thanks so much for your comment! Usually orders that we get aren’t too big. I don’t know what the highest dollar amount is that I’ve delivered because I don’t pay attention to that. My location is one of the slowest when it comes to delivery so maybe it isn’t as profitable to us specifically, but if you read through some of the other comments on here you’ll see people get way more than 5 deliveries per shift. The food is not upcharged and our delivery fee is only $2. Personally, I don’t think I would order a shake through delivery and you are probably right about the fries, but they are kept in a hot bag so that should help with the quality just a little bit. I appreciate your feedback and all of your questions!

      I’m sure it depends on your location. If you have a lot of deliveries consistently at your location then you probably will be driving around for your whole shift. My location has never been too busy with delivery so when I wasn’t taking any orders I was helping restock or filling any positions where they needed help.

      Cons of Chick-fil-A in general are that you are on your feet for long hours, though common with most jobs like this. With delivery, over the summer months when we had a lot of orders coming in, I actually found myself getting sunburned because of how much I was in a car in the sun. Other than that I love my job and my coworkers.
