The service lets parents order at the drive thru then go inside where a chikfila employee will have their table ready and serve them their food. This comes after parents were seen trying to wrangle their kids in the restaurants lines. The chain hopes that the moms valet will help parents avoid that. Restaurants that offer the moms valet will say so on signs in here locally the strongsville chickfila currently offers this service. Theyve been doing so for about three years and says its actually very popular. Its nice to see caboose like this weve seen this with chickfila before in the past really reaching out to families trying to make things easier. Makes it easier we talked about it i said kind of odd pull through the drivethrough order your food and go and its all set up if you need a high chair is already for you. Some people are being critical isnt that the parents job to teach the kids how to go and do the dining experience. That is true. Thats the other side of this. Brian wellman who is brian are you the owner of that franchise. Yes, i am. Of strongsville. Thank you on the phone with us now how is that going for you guys. Its going very well. For us its a way in a small way to honor moms. Second it is a way to make it easy for them especially in the winter we see a lot of moms use some dads use it to wages dont change the name. Understood. You guys are one of the first were hearing about this it will go hopefully to all of the stores around what you guys are one of the first stores to do this. We were one of the first and northeast ohio and i think theyre probably about 100 Stores Currently all over the nation that do it. We were one of the early adopters and we found that again to be a way to honor moms and we have such a family based clientele and strongsville that it has just worked well. I want to ask real quick when youre up at the line do you see how many seats you need or how many highchairs you need place your order what other things do people are they able to request. Well when they come up they say mom valet this is a moms valet well begin to ask them questions number one do you have other guest that will be joining you a lot of times moms plan to will ask how many different ballets there may be so we know how many tables to have or how many chairs. Well ask highchairs will also ask what part of the dining room. Some moms want to be close to the playland others want to move a little bit further away and will ask where. And then we will ask how many children because that allows us to get everything ready as far as highchairs and placemats and those sorts of things. What is the reaction so far not only from the moms but for other customers who may not have kids. The reaction has been great. Again it is all been positive. And it really doesnt get in the way because we had all those orders differently. And usually it is within a couple of minutes we have everything set up and they walk in and are seated. That is cool. Brian thinks appreciate insight have done there. Thanks. My pleasure. Thank you. Not like theyre crushing their lives are already in line the order is taken. Just walk in and get your stuff. Trying to help and sidelines taking at that time you just place your order come on in and sit down. As you mentioned a lot of playgroups a lot of parents meet up with their kids that happens a lot. One of my other restaurants havent picked that up yet. Maybe they will. They might after this. If you were the person behind all over and screaming and shes trying to order food chase after this one. I just want to order a chicken sandwich this avoids that whole process for the moms. A lot of comments lets get to some of those. Personally i think its ridiculous says ricky nobodys that busy its is called being a parent. Nathan says once again chickfila doing it make it hard to like anybody else. Well done on that one. Kenny says no such thing as fast kayla says i would do that for chickfila i love their food as for anyone else i wouldnt do that. Sarah said letting somebody else know this is a good idea she tagged somebody else in the post. Maybe thats a husband or somebody who needs to take the kids. Want to know what you think about this more likely to take your family to the restaurant if everything is set up for you when you walk inside i picture this if you would go to a chain restaurant or any restaurant you could call them up and say this is what i want good you have it set up when i get there that i would be nice. Dont want to have to go through the ordering and menu and kids will be antsy i want to go and have a nice meal and we you. Thats nice i was dining the other night and it was a family of three children the little girl was crying in the little boy and i heard the father say whenever going to a restaurant again. Any parent can feel that frustration when you have three little kids however many and theyre there crying waiting on hes been at work all day. Appreciate the comments. Thinks for getting us insight into that will take your thoughts and comments and have more coming up. Maybe if you can stand it a little bit longer that would be great. Doing away with that. The coleslaw. Is going away the bill gave everyone the recipe and replace it with Something Else healthier. Keep the coleslaw. I know it is good. It is so good. Thank you. All right lets see whats happening as far as the forecast is concerned not a bad day today. Not too bad check in with scott taking a look at our forecast we are saying not too bad we are inside whats it like outside. Is really pleasant 30 degrees 25 or 30 degrees in the sunshine helped warm things up a little bit i know we had our fair share of rain and above normal temperatures and a lot of this driven by el nio some of it driven by the fact cold air over into the half of the us. Heavy rainfall these are garbage los angeles. A lot of times el nio will shift the jet stream and when it the Pacific Northwest sometimes into Southern California most of the time at least in the last couple of months Southern California has not seen a whole lot of rain that has abruptly changed with this. They have had the rains in california anytime of year it freaks them out but when they get this kind of rainfall you can imagine whats happening there in the garbage cans marching in lockstep on some of the streets. At least for us the temperatures have been in the 30s we have had clear sky. The lake is wide open now remember it last year at this time we had about 5 percent ice cover on lake erie 5 percent by the end of january last year we are up almost 90 percent ice cover. Right now middle and upper 20s south as you look at the forecast a matter of time before we start to build in more moisture here with rain and other panhandle low developing over texas i will start to come in here tomorrow. Anticipating some showers on friday. Today partly sunny. Mostly sunny early high clouds late. High of around 42. Middle upper 20s tonight giving way to kind of a cloutier with your day tomorrow with the go showers early in the morning probably get rained on late as temperatures in the middle 40s. What happens saturday into sunday things get kind of tricky. The push of cold air behind that front will be especially strong. The strongest we have seen since late last winter it will drive that rain to the north of us meeting will get rained on late saturday night into sunday a changeover to wet snow that will be the first of two waves of arctic air. One comes in late sunday into monday and another one behind the next clipper which produces another chance of snow comes in probably the middle to end of more cold as we head into Martin Luther king the Holiday Weekend which is like a week and a half from now. Enjoy today because today will be probably the nicest warmest day we have for a long time because it will get more unsettled and a lot colder. Fox8 news your official School Closing station.
