Moments That Matter

This discussion is for Week 2, after you have started Module 2: Moments of Connection.

In Module 2, you’ll focus on the small moments that help guests feel welcomed, valued, and remembered. For this discussion, think about a time when someone created a positive experience for you — at a restaurant, store, school, workplace, or anywhere else.

To complete this Week 2 discussion:

Post your response by Wednesday of Week 2.
Reply to at least two classmates by Friday of Week 2.

In your post, share:

  1. One positive guest or customer experience you remember.
  2. What the person did that made the experience feel special.
  3. Which Moment of Connection it reminds you of: Invite, Connect, Joy, Thank, or Recover.
  4. One way you could create that same kind of moment for a Pizza Hut guest.

In your replies, be specific and encouraging. Build on a classmate’s idea, ask a thoughtful question, or share a similar experience.

Remember: Great guest experiences are built one small moment at a time.
