We recently released the 2018 Temkin Experience Ratings (TxR) that ranks the customer experience of 318 companies across 20 industries based on a survey of 10,000 U.S. consumers. TxR is based on consumers evaluating their experiences across three dimensions: success, effort, and emotion.
Congratulations to Subway and Popeye’s Louisiana Kitchen for earning the top customer experience ratings in the fast food industry.
Subway took the top spot out of the 24 fast food chains included in this year’s Ratings, earning a score of 83% and placing second overall out of 318 companies across 20 industries. Popeye’s came in a close second with a rating of 81% and an overall rank of 12th. Two other fast food chains received “excellent” ratings: Panera Bread and Little Caesar’s, both of which received a score of 80% and placed 17th overall.
Overall, the fast food industry averaged a 76% rating in the 2018 Temkin Experience Ratings and came in 2nd place out of 20 industries. The average rating of the industry declined by 0.4 percentage-points between 2017 and 2018, dropping from 76.5% to 76.1%.
Taco Bell’s customer experience score improved the most over the previous year, gaining seven percentage-points. Hardee’s score, on the other hand, declined the most, dropping by eight points.
