Del Taco Franchisee Partners with ShiftPixy to Combat COVID-19
May 19 2020 - 9:00AM
ShiftPixy (NASDAQ: PIXY), a California-based gig engagement
platform provider, today announced a partnership with Diamondback
DTNM, LLC (DBA Del Taco), operator of 11 Del Taco restaurants in
the Albuquerque, NM area, to comprehensively implement ShiftPixy’s
disruptive platform across all locations in the face of the
Coronavirus pandemic. The Del Taco franchisee is leveraging
ShiftPixy’s end-to-end platform for human capital management and
native delivery.
“The upheaval from COVID-19 has forced
restaurants to re-think their approach to customers, employees and
third-party alliances. The folks at Diamondback understood
that ShiftPixy was uniquely positioned to help solve critical
issues forced on operators but also as leverage to thrive beyond
the current crisis,” said Scott Absher, CEO and co-founder of
ShiftPixy. “With the ShiftPixy platform, John Bissell and his team
were able to quickly and effectively revamp their infrastructure to
deploy native delivery, allowing them to focus on delivering a
great food experience while also keeping the commissions they were
losing and better engaging with their customers.”
With restaurants across the country facing
unparalleled obstacles and forced to dramatically adapt, ShiftPixy
recently announced its Restaurant Resilience Plan to give operators
access to technology and services vital to their survival and ideal
for once business reopens.
“We were already dissatisfied with our legacy
providers, and like many other restaurant operators, the pandemic
forced us to make integral choices quickly. ShiftPixy offered us
the perfect mix of control and services to weather the storm,” said
John Bissell, VP and COO of Diamondback. “We’ve saved significant
time and capital and have elevated employee engagement. The native
delivery solution, which we think is simply amazing, has allowed us
to access customers we would not have otherwise reached while
maintaining control of our brand.”
Once the largest Denny’s franchisee with 94
stores in their system, Dennis Ekstrom, former COO of QT and now
CEO & President and John’s partner at Diamondback added,
“ShiftPixy’s first to market solution is solving major human
capital and customer engagement challenges in the restaurant
industry. Leadership across the restaurant industry should
make this brave and smart move now, to not just survive today but
to maximize their unit economics once the current crisis
passes.”
