NCR Corp. has entered into a new agreement with Carlson Restaurants to implement the NCR inventory and labor management solution in all of its domestic T.G.I. Friday's restaurants. The solution enables multiple back office maintenance efficiencies which will free up restaurant management to spend even more time delivering a great service experience to guests. Elevating the guest experience is a key component in Friday's Ambition 2015 -- the company's global growth initiative designed to make the casual dining leader the number one choice for guests, employees and investors by 2015. The inventory and labor management solution also reduces operational and food costs, freeing up dollars that can be better used to enhance marketing initiatives and drive the growth of the iconic T.G.I. Friday's brand. In addition to food and cash management, the solution will provide Friday's with a platform to effectively manage labor scheduling, employee transfers and exporting information to its existing HR and POS systems.
