Wenesco Restaurants, Inc., Sees Quick Results with RTIconnect

(Marietta, GA) Wenesco Restaurants, a multi-unit Wendy's operator based in Englewood Cliff, N.J., implemented RTIconnect in late summer, 2003. Since that time, Kevin Woodside of Wenesco reports that "Even at this early stage of implementation, the Inventory Management alone has trimmed well over 1% off our food cost. My managers took to it immediately, saving a substantial amount of time entering and validating inventory figures. The ease and speed with which they can access accurate reports really helped to gain their buy-in."

About RTIconnect

Technology and price make RTIconnect different from other Web-based systems. RTIconnect was built according to Microsoft’s(R) .NET framework for smart client software. This advanced technology enables RTIconnect to run like a Windows program at the restaurant, making it easy for store managers to learn and use, while in the background it takes full advantage of the Internet to move data effortlessly between the restaurant or corporate office and RTI’s Data Center. In addition, the system is designed to update itself automatically to the latest version each time the user logs on. The .NET technology also offers improved reliability, stronger security, and faster performance than conventional software applications.

RTIconnect is also cost-effective; offered as either a hosted subscription service at $99 per store monthly, or as a licensed software application for larger operators.

RTIconnect is currently in use by a number of quick-service operators, including Arby’s, Wendy’s, Bear Rock Cafe, and Cinnabon locations.
