It has been over five years since this company began service, and it has since logged over 66 million reservations for over 200 million users. With the reservations and number of registered stores only continuing to accumulate, the information and data that can be generated also continues to grow. The data becomes further multi-dimensional when information additional functions such as POS Connect and Media Connect are taken into account. These collected data points are totaled, analyzed, and shared with clients within the company's flagship app manager, and can be utilized to get a clear overall picture of management, and what improvements can be made.
This company believes that it's not only possible to provide current aggregation and analysis methods, but to share data which can be utilized in the food service industry from a sophisticated, multi-dimensional perspective.
