NCR
Corporation, the global leader in consumer transaction technologies,
today announced that Fogo de Chão has successfully implemented NCR Aloha
point-of-sale (POS) software at its 32 restaurants around the world. The
full service, fine dining restaurant already uses NCR Aloha in its 23
U.S. locations. Fogo de Chão selected NCR because of the sales and
administrative functions it offers the international restaurant chain.
In addition to NCR Aloha POS software, Fogo de Chão is using NCR Insight
and NCR Configuration Center’s above-store capabilities, allowing the
chain to improve operational efficiency at the store-level in their
Brazilian locations.
NCR Insight is sales reporting software that manages and analyzes
web-based reports. The software is expected to help the chain forecast
revenues, increase controls, lower operational costs and reduce time
spent on lower-value administrative tasks. Furthermore, the NCR
Configuration Center solution will make it easier for Fogo de Chão to
make item changes on the menu by providing a centralized, web-based
database.
“We wanted to replicate the same success we have had in our restaurants
in the United States at our locations in Brazil. NCR is a proven and
trusted partner with a broad portfolio of innovative restaurant
solutions we can use to better manage our operations and create an
exceptional brand experience that resonates with our customers,” said
Marcelo Macedo, administrative director of Fogo de Chão in Brazil.
A key requirement for the restaurant was the ability to integrate NCR
Aloha with its existing accounting software in order to improve control
of its sales and administrative functions.
“NCR restaurant solutions are easy to integrate, implement and use. With
NCR’s industry-leading software and technology, Fogo de Chão is well
positioned to expand into Brazil and provide its customers with the same
great dining experiences they are accustomed to in the US,” adds Ricardo
Carreon, general manager of NCR Brazil.

About Fogo de Chão
Founded in Porto Alegre, in 1979, Fogo de Chão continues the tradition
of serving the most authentic gaucho barbecue. Through a rotation
system, quickly fell in consumer taste. The result was the expansion of
the restaurant not only to other states of the country as well as abroad.
Currently, the chain has 32 units. Nine are in Brazil, in Bahia, Minas
Gerais, Distrito Federal, Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo states and the
others 23 are in USA, distributed in several states.
The chain is characterized by the quality of its food and its service.
It offers 18 cuts of meat and a variety of accompaniments. The menu is
complemented with desserts that also bring authentic Brazilian flavors
and lots of drinks, between national and imported beers, premium wines
that blend in with the meat, besides the famous caipirinhas. Everything
is offered by waiters dressed with pilcha, traditional gaucho attire,
keeping alive the regional customs.
