LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Technology solutions provider QSR Automations is working with technology alliance partner and reseller PCMS to provide a complete kitchen automation solution for Skyline Chili, the company has announced.
Skyline is relying on QSR Automations' ConnectSmart Hospitality Automation Solution, including the ConnectSmart Kitchen (CSK) graphical software, along with eXpert hospitality controllers and KP-4000 keypads. Skyline also is using QSR Automations' kitchen video bracketing system for installation.
The Skyline experience includes drive-thru, carryout, tableside and counter service.
With Skyline's customized CSK configuration, drive-thru and carryout orders are prepared and packaged at a kitchen monitor at one end of the open kitchen, while dine-in orders are prepared and plated at the other end. The CSK also captures all speed-of-service timing data, making this information available in real-time on each kitchen monitor as well as for historical reporting and analysis.
By the middle of 2010, all 37 corporate Skyline locations will complete implementation of QSR Automations' ConnectSmart kitchen solution along with PCMS' Vision BeanStore POS system. Skyline also will be offering full support for the combined solution to its nearly 100 franchise locations, including installation assistance and restaurant-level help desk and ongoing system management services.
