“I had to make an out-of-town order for our basketball team when they played in Humboldt on 2/6/26. I was unable to get the online order to go through to be delivered to the High School, so had to work with an employee over the phone. He was SO incredibly helpful and patient since he also had trouble getting the order to go through to our chosen address (for good reason, they probably don't allow online orders delivered to the high school). We spent probably 10 minutes on the phone getting everything to go through and then he made a note that another parent would be accepting the order for me when the pizzas arrived. Everything went off without a hitch, boys happily fed, no issues with delivery, and always delicious pizza! Thank you for your great service!”

Read the postLove's Travel Stops is rolling out a new system that turns work into a game for its restaurant employees. Picture this: Three big screens in each restaurant, tracking how fast workers greet customers, take orders, and hand out food.
