system-wide. Dickey’s videos are viewed more than 1,000 times per day to

This
week the barbecue brand celebrates its 1,000th training video uploaded
into its training platforms. Training videos are approximately two minutes
long, and always feature a core standard, such as how to properly remove
ribs from the smoker. Each video also includes catering and marketing tips,
as well as a daily F.A.C.T., in which a select ingredient gets the spotlight
in Flavor, Appearance, Consistency and Taste.
“Our
training videos give our hourly team members an opportunity to soak up
our culture at Dickey’s, as well as educate on Dickey’s standards with
a little flair of fun and enthusiasm,” says Chris Kelley, Dean of Dickey’s
Barbecue University. “Watching the daily videos provides a consistent reminder
of the standards that must be followed to push the brand forward and it
facilitates the standard of having a shift meeting on a daily basis.”
Dickey’s
training videos are just a piece of the barbecue chain’s extensive training
program. Dickey’s home office also hosts all new Owner/Operators in a four-week
intensive training class called Barbecue University, in which Owner/Operators
learn everything about running a barbecue restaurant, from operations to
equipment repair to payroll. Dickey’s Barbecue Pit prides itself on its
ongoing training and marketing support to each location nationwide, and
works to ensure that each store delivers the highest quality, Texas-style
barbecue for the best price.
