Panasonic announced that its Attune drive-thru communications system is now certified by CKE Restaurants Inc. for use in the company's Carl's Jr. and Hardee's restaurants across the country.
Panasonic's Attune has met the certification standards — focused on improved speed of service and order accuracy at the drive-thru — set forth by CKE and is now available for franchisees to purchase.
"At CKE, we look for drive-thru solutions that enable clear communication between employees and customers without interference," said Tom Lindblom, chief technology officer, CKE Restaurants Inc. "Based on our relationship with Panasonic as an approved vendor and the testing of the Attune, we feel confident it will provide our restaurants reliable and quality wireless headsets to deliver the best drive-thru experience for customers."
Attune operates on the restricted 1.9 GHz band with DECT voice technology for clear, interference-free communication. It is available in two models, all-in-one (AIO) and belt pack, both engineered for durability in rigorous quick-service restaurant environments. The AIO headset allows for 360 degrees of bending without breakage.
