Leaders from the international Wendy\u2019s Company gave University of Mississippi students a behind-the-scenes look into the quick-service restaurant during the Department of Nutrition and Hospitality Management\u2019s Global Leadership through Service Symposium on March 20.<\/p>\n

John Peters, chief operating officer and Daniel Collins, senior vice president and treasurer, spoke on \u201cStrategic Leadership: A Recipe for Success,\u201d highlighting the company\u2019s values, brand vision and strategy.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere are some tremendous leaders in the United States and in the world who are in the hospitality or dietetics profession,\u201d said Mary Roseman, associate professor of nutrition and hospitality management and chair of the symposium. \u201cThese industries are significant in terms of number of employees, sales volume and the whole sense of customer client and service focus.\u201d<\/p>\n

Peters and Collins discussed Wendy\u2019s past and present, from the first store that opened in 1969 in Columbus, Ohio, to the more than 6,500 company or franchisee-owned stores worldwide that constitute over $9 billion in global system sales. The executives also spoke about the \u201c6 Ps\u201d \u2014 people, price, product, promotion, place and performance \u2014 that make up the restaurant\u2019s overarching guiding principle: quality.<\/p>\n

\u201cQuality is what Wendy\u2019s is,\u201d Collins said in the presentation. \u201cWe want quality in our service, products and customers. We are trying to improve that every day in our business.\u201d<\/p>\n

Roseman said the leadership symposium was held to help expose alumni, faculty, staff, students, industry professionals and friends to leadership and employment contributions and opportunities in the hospitality and dietetics professions.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re trying to reach a pretty wide target audience because we think it\u2019s important to help them understand how large these industries are and the opportunities that are there,\u201d Roseman said. \u201cOften, people only see it from the front. They walk into a restaurant and buy food. They don\u2019t often get the opportunity to see the behind-the-scenes thinking that comes from people [who] are over large corporations.\u201d<\/p>\n

Following the presentation, audience members participated in a question-and-answer session and networking reception. Around 100 students attended the event.<\/p>\n

It was really exciting to see the students ask questions to these top executives at Wendy\u2019s and just how natural the dialogue was,\u201d Roseman said. \u201cThe students were very engaged and had very thoughtful questions about restaurants, leadership, strategy and employment opportunities.\u201d<\/p>\n
