PAR Technology Corporation (NYSE:PAR) announced today that Pita
Pit USA has selected PAR’s Brink POS software and service solutions
for their 250 restaurants throughout the country. First opening
stores in the states in 1999, Pita Pit USA was founded on the idea
that people want a fresh, healthy alternative to fast food and
wanted to create a fun, casual atmosphere where customers can
create their perfect pita by selecting endless flavor
combinations.
With unique operational needs, Pita Pit USA developed a
selection committee of corporate IT professionals, franchisees and
restaurant crew members to evaluate and select a new point of sale
solution for the brand. At the top of the selection criteria was a
POS solution that was not only reliable and flexible, but designed
to facilitate multi-unit franchisee growth with their aggressive
development plans.
“Our selection committee was blown away by the PAR Brink POS
solution presented,” said Corey Bowman, President, Pita Pit USA.
“Brink is a robust and flexible platform with a cloud-based design
that simplifies our operations and will help provide insight into
our business at a granular level any time that we need it. This
control was previously unavailable. These features are going to be
a great asset to our growing portfolio of multi-unit operators
across the country.”
This year, Pita Pit USA is on pace to sign deals for 60 new
locations and open 45 new restaurants by the end of 2015, both
records for the brand. One of the key focus areas for the brand
over the past year has been to update technology and find a POS
system that helped franchisees run more profitable stores by seeing
daily trends, forecasting sales and tracking labor.
“PAR’s willingness to understand our business and deliver a
solution configured to fit our operations, including seamless
integration with our 3rd party vendors is exactly what we need,”
said Mick Gray, Director of IT. “It was important to offer our
franchisee community a system we feel was designed by them and for
them, with PAR as a partner. We are very proud of our selection and
the process.”
“Our rapidly growing portfolio of Fast Casual customers all
share the need for reliable, scalable and growth-oriented line of
business technology to achieve a competitive edge,” said Karen
Sammon, President ParTech, Inc. “Our cloud-native POS platform
provides a distinct advantage over legacy POS software models by
providing restaurant operators a rich platform that leverages
contemporary tools to make implementations and integrations light
and far simpler.”
Brink POS, a cloud-native POS platform, eliminates the need for
a back-office server in the restaurant and no data is ever stored
in house. Deploying a next generation, cloud based POS, and
removing the accompanying physical server from the store landscape
was a priority for Pita Pit USA with the changing landscape of data
security and PCI compliance. Not only will Pita Pit have more
robust reporting and insight to their store data, but with the data
in the cloud, this actionable intelligence is now available in
real-time from anywhere in the world.
“PAR has been extremely attentive to our needs throughout the
deployment thus far. The training for our corporate staff on the
new solution has been simple and effective. Additionally, interest
and adoption for the new system at the store level has been very
successful,” added Bowman. “We believe we have found a true partner
in PAR to help support our franchises continued success.”
