Restore is the fast, measurable way for Chick-fil-A® Operators and their teams to document, resolve, and learn from guest issues. Designed specifically for the Chick-fil-A® Restaurant guest recovery process, Restore replaces the chaos of binders, spreadsheets, and group chats with one organized, easy-to-use system. When a guest contacts the restaurant, your team can quickly capture what happened and what needs to happen next. From there, the right person can take action. This may include sending a Chick-fil-A One® reward through Spotlight or promo-freeing an item for the guest on their next visit. Restore also becomes smarter with every use. It surfaces when, where, what, and why issues occur, helping your team focus on the biggest opportunities to improve order accuracy. It also shows which resolutions bring guests back, empowering your team to strengthen offers and successfully recover more guests.

Checklists, opening and closing routines, and a knowledge base put the right answer in every hand.
