SOCIAL MEDIA ROLES AND POLICYFounder- S. Truett Caty National Manager- Tom WilliamsSocial Media Manager- Katie GreenMarketing Director- Jason Smith Their social media policy is a very important part of their entire marketing plan, as most of their audience is active online and in the younger-middle aged demographic. They strive to put humor respectfully in Tweets and create images to appeal to
the Facebook and Instagram visual aspect. 1. Treat every customer with a smiling face
2. Ensure the quality of food is in good3. Try to get customers their food quickly in an efficient
manner
CRITICAL RESPONSE PLAN
Senario 1 – Someone getting food poisoning from Chick Fil A products
Action Plan:1. Have that location’s manager apologize to the customer 2. Try to ensure that it will not happen again 3. Research the food products that were bad and make sure to
fix the problem1. Refrigeration and Food Date Checks
4. Try to keep it from getting out on social media1. When talking to the customer and try to see if there is any
compensation, such as gift cards, to make their future experience better
CRITICAL RESPONSE PLANScenario 2- Inappropriate Tweet sent from Chick-Fil-A’s account
1. When the Tweet is causing controversy from our followers1. Let the national manager and social media manager know
immediately to take it down2. Have the social media manager come up with a follow-up
Tweet 3. Send out an apology Tweet letting the public know that the
company made a mistake and that it will not happen again 4. Talk to whoever pushed out the content and have them
explaining why they thought it was okay and teach them how it did not correlate with the company’s overall goals and objectives
