Meals Plus Recognized for
Elite Customer Service and Support
 Meals Plus has been ranked 23rd in the world for award-winning customer service, as determined by the HDI Customer Satisfaction Index. The Meals Plus Technical Account Specialist Team was awarded a spot on the 2015 HDI CSAT Elite 50 for overall satisfaction ratings provided by our customers over a 12-month period.
HDI is the world's largest professional association and certification body for technical service and support professionals. The fifty support centers with the highest scores are part of the Elite 50, and the ranking within the top fifty is based off of the average of the year's responses to the fifth question on the survey: "How satisfied are you with the overall service experience?"
"We are extremely proud of our team," said Meals Plus Vice President Jeff Flynn. "We are dedicated to providing the best service to our customers day in and day out, and are honored to be recognized by a worldwide organization like HDI."
