Arby's franchisee pilots WAND NextGen POS
March 18, 2010
WAND Corp. has announced the successful installation of a NextGen point of sale solution with Carisch Inc., an Arby's franchisee. They are the first Arby's franchisee to pilot test WAND NextGen POS.
WAND's NextGen POS solution has been designed specifically for QSRs to address their main concerns like customer satisfaction and increasing the average guest check, while also meeting needs like reducing food costs and streamlining labor management for franchisees.
Wayzata, Minn.-based Carisch Inc. has more than 70 stores in eight states. Built around the core values of, "Dream Big, Work Hard, Play Fair, Get it Done" and "Make a Difference and Have Fun", Carisch Inc. is the second-largest Arby's franchisee.
"This represents a milestone for us as the first time NextGen POS is outside of the Wendy's community," said Greg Perrill, chief operating officer and spokesperson for WAND Corp., which announced in December 2009 that it was named the approved POS software vendor for franchisees of Wendy's, Arby's sister chain. "We are pleased to be working with Carisch. While not our first QSR partner in the Arby's world, they represent a superb opportunity for an internationally-respected brand to move forward with WAND Corporation and we look forward to great things with the Arby's community."
WAND's creative team was responsible for the unique digital images displayed on the customer-facing side of the POS terminals and overall visual look of NextGen POS. Benefits of NextGen POS include: Conversational Ordering with order confirmation, labor management and advanced food costing modules. Sales data and marketing actions are integrated into the application, along with Web-based remote management of sites.
