Corporation, the global leader in consumer transaction technologies,
today announced that Buffalo Wild Wings® has selected the NCR
Aloha Online Ordering solution for its 1,000 company-owned and
franchised locations to help drive its takeout ordering business. Adding
online ordering functionality to its existing NCR technology solution
will enable Buffalo Wild Wings to manage both on and off-premise
transactions seamlessly within one system.
Aloha Online Ordering enables Buffalo Wild Wings customers to order
online and avoid wait times on the phone. Their payment information is
securely stored for future orders and they can review their order;
increasing order accuracy. All web orders are instantly distributed to
the appropriate store and then routed to the kitchen.

34-year-olds say they consider a restaurant’s technology options when
selecting where to eat.
