3M, HyperActive partner on drive-thru technologies
October 19, 2009
3M and HyperActive Technologies have announced that they have formed an alliance to bring a new paradigm of drive-thru technology to quick-service restaurants. The partnership between the two companies is designed to help improve QSRs' speed, accuracy and employee productivity for orders placed in their drive-thru lanes. 3M will represent its own products in the marketplace as well as HyperActive Technologies' line of offerings, making 3M a single point of contact for restaurant managers on everything from orders to installation and service.
"3M is always looking for innovative solutions for QSRs and for ways to help our customers grow their bottom line. This new partnership between 3M and HyperActive Technologies is designed to do just that," said Judith Garcia Galiana, vice president, building and commercial service division at 3M. "This new alliance of 3M and HyperActive is a win-win for those in the quick-service restaurant segment. Together, we are a one-source solution from the point of order taking to order confirmation, timing and drive-thru data management."
The alliance combines a suite of components including the 3M Wireless Communications System XT-1, known for its superior sound clarity and smart technology, with HyperActive Technologies' Drive-Thru Order Confirmation Board, HyperView and drive-thru management solution, QTimer. Hyperactive Technologies' solutions provide real-time, speed-of-service reporting and service metrics, and centralized, enterprise-level store management to enable significant performance improvements.
QSR customers will be able to start placing orders with 3M in November.
