NCR
Corporation, the global leader in consumer transaction technologies,
today announced that Johnny Rockets, the international restaurant chain,
known for all-American food and fun, will open its first two restaurants
in Brazil with the support of NCR Aloha software running on NCR
point-of-sale (POS) technology. Johnny Rockets selected the NCR POS
solution because it is optimized for fast-paced food service operations.
Additionally, Johnny Rockets is using NCR Hospitality technology such as
NCR Aloha Insight and NCR Back Office for greater business insight and
real-time decision making. The restaurant chain will also benefit from
NCR Aloha Configuration Center’s above-store capabilities, allowing them
to improve operational efficiency at the store-level.
With NCR Back Office, software that permits real-time management of
stock, Johnny Rockets expects to gain greater control over costs to
improve their bottom line. NCR Aloha Insight, software that manages and
analyzes web-based reports, will help the chain forecast revenues,
increase controls, lower operational costs and reduce time spent on
lower value administrative tasks. Furthermore, the NCR Aloha
Configuration Center solution will make it easier for Johnny Rockets to
make item changes on the menu by providing a centralized, web-based
database.
“NCR is a proven and trusted partner with the innovative technology
solutions we need to offer our customers an experience in our
restaurants that resonates in Brazil and around the globe,” says Antônio
Augusto, managing partner at Johnny Rockets in Brazil. “The combination
of NCR’s industry-leading POS solution and above-store capabilities will
enable us to operate with greater efficiency, control costs, and
increase our sales while delighting our customers.”
The first two Johnny Rockets restaurants in Brazil will open later this
year at the Tietê Plaza and International de Guarulhos Malls. In the
first quarter of 2014, the chain intends to open four additional stores,
all with the NCR Hospitality solutions.
“With the potential for rising food costs to cut into margins, using
innovative technology that delivers productivity gains and help control
costs remains a top priority for international restaurant chains,” says
Luiz Bento, commercial director at NCR. “With NCR’s Hospitality
solutions, Johnny Rockets is well positioned to expand into Brazil and
provide customers with the same great dining experiences that its
customers in other parts of the world have come to expect and enjoy.”
