Panasonic And WAND Selected By Wendy's As An Approved Point Of Sale Solution
Panasonic and WAND have been officially designated by Wendy's as an approved Point Of Sale (POS) solution for franchisee stores nationwide. The notification was made by Wendy's corporate officials following months of intensive product testing and evaluation.
"Panasonic has the best partners in the business," said Sam Miyakodani, Group Manager, Panasonic. "With ROI more important than ever, we are extremely proud that Wendy's made the choice to work with Panasonic and our partner WAND Corporation."
"WAND and Panasonic are solid choices for Wendy's franchisees," says Don Zimmerman, CIO, Wendy's / Arby's Group. "Both vendors have worked tirelessly to ensure excellent solutions for our restaurants."
"When you combine Panasonic purpose-built hardware and WAND NextGen POS you get two things…an approved Wendy's solution and an unprecedented level of usability, accountability, and ROI," said Greg Perrill, Chief Operating Officer for WAND Corporation.
Panasonic's POS hardware features the hugely successful Stingray workstation. With an innovative modular design, Stingray allows for do-it-yourself troubleshooting, servicing and upgrades, plus a high-speed processor and up to 2 GB of on-board RAM. Stingray is ideal for stand-alone applications and can also be integrated into a LAN network to run even the most resource-intensive back office operations.
The WAND NextGen POS software solution is simple, intuitive, and easy to update. It is designed to minimize service times and employee training, as well as employee pilferage through the use of detailed security rights. The full-featured software solution collects and stores vital transaction data in a fail-safe environment, allows management to easily make menu and pricing changes, and generates powerful reports with real-time analysis to assist in decision making. The Enterprise Manager software receives store/franchise-level data without manager involvement or interrupting operations. This same tool can be used to push down price and configuration changes along with digital videos and animation for order confirmation displays and digital menu boards.
