Pizza Hut of Kentucky switches to Speedline
April 11, 2007
LYNDEN, Wash. —Pizza Hutfranchisee Pizza Hut of Kentucky is rolling out SpeedLine point-of-sale systems to its 27 restaurants in Kentucky and Southern Ohio.
According to Pizza Hut of Kentucky Chief Operating Officer Rodney Walraven, the company saw significant improvements in delivery service after only a week with SpeedLine POS systems in two recent restaurant installations.
"The first Friday night with SpeedLine, we ran 94 percent on-time delivery," Walraven said. "We can select grids, keep track of drivers, track their performance real-time throughout the day – out the door time and time in store –to measure performance on an ongoing basis. And with SpeedLine's fingerprint security, we have strict control over exactly who did what and when."
In the company's Leitchfield, Ky. location, where SpeedLine has been up and running for several months, Walraven noted similar delivery improvements as well as reductions in discounts and voids, and tighter security and cash control.
Walraven also noted a "safety side benefit" with SpeedLine. The company can force drivers to cash out after every run, minimizing the amount of cash they carry on deliveries.
"I can't always count on every manager to enforce the rules a hundred percent of the time," Walraven said. "SpeedLine adds another layer of control."
