Carl's Jr. and Hardee's approve AccuVIEW and Acclaro Drive-Thru Solutions

Texas Digital Systems Inc., a leading provider of visual communication solutions, is proud to announce that their AccuVIEW order confirmation display and Acclaro drive-thru timer solutions have been tested and approved by CKE Restaurants Inc. (NYSE: CKR) for use in Carl’s Jr. and Hardee’s branded restaurants. These two drive-thru products are now available for franchisees to improve drive-thru performance and customer satisfaction.

The AccuVIEW order confirmation display enhances drive-thru profits by improving order accuracy, increasing speed of service, influencing sales at the point-of-purchase and reducing theft and food loss. AccuVIEW is the most widely installed order confirmation system worldwide and is compatible with more than 95 percent of POS solutions available.

The Acclaro drive-thru timer is a unique timer solution that gives restaurant management an instant window into the operational efficiency of each drive-thru, providing metrics to help employees reach new heights in sales and service. Acclaro measures speed-of-service accurately and automatically while actively monitoring the store’s POS, menu loop, window loop(s) and AccuVIEW displays.

“Texas Digital is proud to have the opportunity to work with CKE in their Carl’s Jr. and Hardee’s brand restaurants,” said Dennis Davidson, president and COO of Texas Digital. “We are excited to align with such a strong brand as an authorized solution provider for our Acclaro and AccuVIEW solutions.”
