Five Guys Plans to Deploy PAR Brink POS
Software, PAR EverServ Terminals, Tablets and PAR Services Across
All Stores
PAR Technology Corporation (NYSE:PAR) announced today that Five
Guys has selected PAR as their software solutions partner. Five
Guys plans to deploy PAR’s Brink POS™ software, PAR EverServ® POS
terminals, PAR Mobile Tablet 10’s, along with PAR’s software
delivery and maintenance services for their 1,200 restaurants
throughout North America. Since 1986, Five Guys has been serving
burgers and fries with a commitment to quality ingredients and a
consistently great customer experience.
Steve Teller, Project Manager at Five Guys, was a member of the
team leading a comprehensive evaluation process to select a new
point of sale solution for the entire brand, which included the
formation of a Franchisee POS Task Force. Together, they sought to
discover an industry leader with quality POS hardware, cloud-based
POS software and a reputation for first-class services to support
their business. “PAR’s total solution offering and their excellent
reputation made them a clear choice for the Five Guys brand,” said
Teller. “Their solution is a game-changer in our industry, and we
have a true technology partner in PAR.”
“The partnership with Five Guys adds to our rapidly growing
presence in the fast casual space – one of the quickest growing
segments in the restaurant business. The selection of our Brink POS
software by a prominent fast casual brand, Five Guys, is
confirmation that PAR is leading the way with hosted/SaaS POS
software,” said Karen Sammon, President, ParTech Inc. “The
combination of our Brink POS Software and our EverServ 7700
terminals and mobile platform Tablet 10 provides fast casual and
quick serve restaurants alike a solution to rapidly scale
operations, deploy new stores and embrace modern use case
scenarios.”
Brink POS Software
“The cloud-based SaaS architecture of Brink POS is the
‘launch-pad technology’ allowing us to offer a complete solution
for our brand that will easily adapt to changing demands. No longer
do we need to keep our various technology platforms in silos,” said
Steve Teller. “Not only is the implementation quick and easy with
low upfront costs, it also creates real-time enterprise control of
the entire chain.”
With the Brink POS solution, stores eliminate the need for a
back-office server and no data is ever stored in house. If
connectivity issues arise, the POS software remains functional
ensuring that customer service will not be jeopardized. The Brink
POS Dashboard also allows management to view meaningfully organized
reports from anywhere in the world. The ability to setup a schedule
of emailed reports will significantly reduce the time it takes you
to evaluate your store performance and make quicker business
decisions.
PAR EverServ® 7700 and PAR Tablet 10
The hardware solution was customized specifically to meet the
demands of the Five Guys brand. The PAR EverServ® 7700, PAR’s
best-in-class POS terminal, was built to withstand the harsh
restaurant environment without sacrificing a sleek design and the
power needed to run a business. With a built-in 8 inch customer
facing display Five Guys has improved order accuracy and customer
satisfaction as well as additional opportunities for upselling and
advertising at the counter. Each store will also be using a
biometric finger print scanner for employee time punches. Five Guys
believes this technology will pay for itself in one month by
improving accuracy in accounting of employee time.
Each Five Guys location will be equipped with one PAR Tablet 10,
PAR’s 10 inch enterprise grade tablet. “The PAR Tablet 10’s rugged
design and multiple use-case scenarios’ is a great addition to our
technology stack. Used for line-busting during peak business hours,
we are able to get orders to the kitchen more efficiently and keep
our customers happy,” continued Teller. In addition to
line-busting, store managers are using the PAR Tablet 10 for
management reporting, new employee training, inventory counts and
phone orders.
