76-unit Arby's franchisee selects RTI system
January 7, 2008
ATLANTA — Carisch, Inc., a 76-unit Arby's franchisee headquartered in Wayzata, Minn., has implemented the RTIconnect back-office system by Restaurant Technology Inc. (RTI) for its restaurant food, labor and cash controls. Carisch also simultaneously installed RTI's new Web-based TimeClock software to handle employee time punches, availability and schedule requests.
Fred Stauber, president of Carisch, said, "Our reason for change was the affordability, ease of use and expected margin improvement of store-level controllable expenses."
Carisch operates Arby's restaurants in eight states and rolled out RTIconnect to all of its 76 locations in less than five weeks. It now relies exclusively on RTIconnect for its restaurant operational data.
RTIconnect retrieves sales data from Carisch's existing Panasonic 7000 and 7500 POS systems. Then using that data, it helps the restaurant managers control food and paper costs, create cost-effective schedules and manage cash receipts and tills. RTIconnect provides both a store-level toolset for the restaurant managers and enterprise reporting/drill-down capabilities for the corporate office.
To complete the transition from Carisch's prior back-office provider, RTI developed a new Web-based TimeClock program that sends time punches for all stores into the central RTIconnect database. The restaurants can skip the tasks of maintaining employees on a separate POS or time clock device.
