November 2008 -- RESTAURANT O®, a well established caterer in the Bay Area, has just been awarded the prestigious Diamond Certified symbol after being rated highest in quality in a customer satisfaction rating performed by American Ratings Corporation.

In order to earn Diamond Certified, a local service company must apply to be rated by American Ratings Corporation (ARC) and pass each step of its twelve-step rating and certification process.   ARC pulls, at random, past customers from the applicant and surveys 100 customers by telephone.  Not only do the customers rate the applicant company on a 1 to 10 scale for quality, but also they indicate their willingness to return or refer other consumers to the company. Most companies can’t pass the rating because a customer satisfaction survey score of greater than 90 on a 100 scale is required.  In addition, ARC verifies liability and workers’ compensation insurance, state license status, complaint status, business practices, financial stability and legal judgment status. Additionally, ongoing customer satisfaction surveys are conducted to ensure the Diamond Certified Company maintainins its rating.

“Personally, I’ve been focused on rating local service companies for the past 15 years and I’m always impressed at how certain organizations are so focused on satisfying their customers.  RESTAURANT O® is one of those special companies,” said Jim Stein, founder and CEO of American Ratings Corporation.
