Friendly's has a yearly competition for its employees. Its called Fountain Olympics. Every year employees from every restaurant meet up and compete against each other. They work in teams of two and the winning team is decided by the fastest and best looking ice creams. They are awarded $5000.
PS - I have worked at Friendly's for a long time and I have taken part in the Fountain Olympics.

Do you create icecream dishes or do have to actually make the icecream?
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like an event that might creative more motivated employees. The concept itself is inexpensive to plan and requires little resources. Seems like a great idea!
ReplyDeleteWhat is involved in the "Fountain Olympics"? This sounds really interesting
ReplyDeleteI think this could also increase efficiency at all of Friendly’s locations when you order ice cream. They probably have to train on the job all year to have a chance.
ReplyDeleteHave you won the competition?
ReplyDelete@Deanna Roberts.
ReplyDeleteYou just make the Ice Cream dishes.
@Caitlyn
You have to make Ice Cream dishes perfect. They have a catalog in which they have specifications. For example, you have to have the right amount of Ice Cream in the specific dish and right amount of toppings.
@Quintina A.
Yes I have taken part in the Fountain Olympics. My team did not win but we were runners up and we were awarded $2000.
That's probably good healthy competition.
