I wrote an email to the director of quality control. I have pasted the conversation for you all!
Hey,I love your gelato and I eat there once a week. It is expensive, do you have any programs like a punch card or something to give loyal customers a reward once in a while or like a free b-day gelato? Most websites have a place you can sign up for news and deals. I didnt see that on your site.
I also wanted to say thanks for not using hydrogenated oil, I would reccomend and love if you considered removing it from your cones, or using a vendor that does not add it. It is becoming increasingly taboo. Plus the gelato is for the most part natural so Why stuff it in a cone that has oil banned in the entire state of California and on th ballot to be removed at tons of major citys.
Lindsay,
Thanks for contacting us regarding your concerns and praises. Thank you very much for the kind words. Please send me your address and I will send you some free coupons for being a loyal customer. It's funny you brought up having a loyalty card for the gelato spot because this week I put the order in to have a electronic combo card. It will have both features loyalty and gift card. It will be similar to a Starbucks card but with more rewards. It will be at least 1 month before this feature will become active since it interfaces with our Point of sale system it is a complicated process to integrate everything. Also I did look at the ingredients for our cones and you are right about having partially hydrogenated oils in the mix being taboo these days. I will look for another alternative to this problem quickly. I will definitely let you know when I find new product. Unfortunately we do not make the cones from scratch like our gelato so I will have to do some research on possible making our own waffle mix. Feel free to contact me anytime. Thanks for hitting the gelato spot.
