The NCR Silver™ cloud-based point-of-sale (POS) system continues
expansion into the franchise space. NCR Silver is now in 23 well-known
franchise brands across the United States, including Great
American Cookies and Waffle
House.
Great American Cookies already has deployed NCR Silver in more than 140
stores with the expectation of adding more sites. Waffle House is using
NCR Silver at 1,400 of its corporate locations nationwide and plans more
franchise locations by year’s end.
The International Franchise Association (IFA) anticipates that franchise
businesses will generate $889 billion in revenue in 2015. Of that, 26
percent is expected to stem from snack Quick Service Restaurant (QSR)
and fast casual restaurants, a higher percentage than any other sector.
Additionally, the QSR segment is expected to generate the most job
growth in 2015, adding more than 93,000 jobs.
“NCR has a long history of serving the retail and restaurant industry,
and NCR Silver is positioned to serve the franchise industry well,” said
Theresa Jameson, senior analyst from Datamonitor Financial. “Over the
next few months, we’ll likely see enterprise-ready mPOS systems,
including NCR Silver, making more inroads into the franchise space
because of their shorter registration process, merchant onboarding times
and plug-and-play set-up.”
While an ideal choice for small businesses such as retail shops, cafes,
service providers and food trucks, NCR Silver’s scalability works well
for franchises equally well. Brands have seen an instant – and often
measurable – improvement when switching from traditional cash registers
and even other cloud solutions. Waffle House, for instance, has seen a
79 percent reduction in customer checkout times. Great American
Cookies has benefited from advanced
reporting and quicker employee training due to NCR Silver’s ease of
use.
“Franchise customers appreciate the flexibility and low cost of a
cloud-based POS platform and the power of the NCR brand,” said Reggie
Kimble, NCR Small Business director of business development. “By
offering a more intuitive interface and an enhanced level of customer
service, NCR Silver is a solid choice for a franchisee looking to
modernize operations.”
