885 SureCheck Advantage Units to be Deployed
Across All 95 Wegmans Locations
ParTech, Inc. (PAR), a subsidiary of PAR Technology Corporation
(NYSE:PAR) announced today that Wegmans will be upgrading their
existing SureCheck® food safety system to PAR’s SureCheck®
Advantage Solution for all 95 stores.
The fully integrated SureCheck Advantage platform with its
automated temperature probe, bar code scanner and RFID infrared
temperature readers will replace Wegmans' Motorola MC-55 handheld
devices being utilized with the earlier version of PAR's
Temperature Measuring Device (TMD).
Wegmans, founded in 1916 in Rochester, NY, has always made food
safety a priority and established the Consumer Affairs Department
in 1971 to act as the voice of the consumer inside the company and
to educate shoppers about nutrition, food safety, and other food
issues.
The Wegmans Food Safety Department was seeking to implement a
technology based solution when PAR SureCheck was first deployed in
November 2015. SureCheck replaced the paper and pencil recording
methods Wegmans was using and provided improved food safety
reporting consistency across all stores.
Wegmans decided to upgrade to SureCheck Advantage based on the
all-in-one unit capabilities. The upgrade consists of 885 SureCheck
Advantage units. “PAR’s SureCheck® Advantage is a key tool in the
day-to-day operation of Wegmans food service,” said Tom Adams, Food
Safety Coordinator at Wegmans. “SureCheck Advantage has provided a
15-25% improvement in operational efficiency, and the cloud-based
online reporting saves time and money from our original paper
recording process.”
Starting in 2015, the Federal Food Safety Modernization Act
(FSMA) requires that businesses collect, record, and retain two
years of historical food safety compliance records. The PAR
SureCheck Advantage Solution, a state-of-the-art food safety and
checklist system, captures required data in real-time and
synchronizes it to the SureCheck cloud for seamless, automated
storage and recall of food safety records for management,
maintenance, analytics, and auditing.
“Wegmans represents all of the key characteristics of a true
partner for PAR,” said John W. Sammon III, SVP & General
Manager at ParTech, Inc. “Wegmans leads the grocery industry with
exemplary culture, which in turn drives exceptional core values.
The adoption of the SureCheck Advantage is yet another example of
their unending commitment to quality and food safety. PAR's
all-in-one solution enhances the culture of excellence for Wegmans
employees and customers.”
