“Foodservice Rewards is What the Name Says”

Chef Nick Mueller & Company enthuses about the points he earns buying Hormel and Bunge foodservice products…

“Foodservice Rewards is what the name says – a reward for foodservice. I just redeemed points for the first time and was truly impressed with the quality of the item. Ray Smith and Noah Hanson were exceptionally helpful and very proactive and customer service oriented.

The quality of the brands that participate are top notch too! Bunge Canola Oil and Hormel 18/22 Low Sodium Bacon are two excellent products that we use. Our customers enjoy the quality and we get return business and in addition an easily redeemable Reward Code which quickly adds up to a nice bonus reward!”

What’s your most embarrassing moment at work?

When I started working in the US there was a “pennies” tray In my client’s cafeteria. I thought people were insulting the cashier by giving her pennies as tips and I dropped in $1. No one said anything to me that day…

The next day I came back to the same cashier who explained that it was for pennies to help her make change, not for tips. She further told me she had deposited the previous day’s dollar into a charity box – it was an embarrassing – and at the same time, funniest moment in my life.

Well, only my wife after getting married with her. In earlier days in India (especially south India and Chennai), it was not that easy to get a chance :(
