Digitec Interactive partners with Bojangles to make restaurant repairs more efficient
Company creates mobile resource to aid employees in equipment fixes.
- Orlando, FL (1888PressRelease) April 13, 2021 - No matter how well-trained a team member is, sometimes things go wrong in a busy restaurant. And when a frazzled front-line worker is scrambling to fix the toaster during the lunch rush, they might not be able to find the dusty operations manual stored away in a drawer in the office.
But what if help was available, right at their fingertips? It can be, thanks to a reimagining of technology by Bojangles and Digitec Interactive, a leader in corporate learning and development.
Digitec recently worked with Bojangles to reimagine what in-store support looks like, using a tried-and-true technology—the QR code. The fast-food chain is deploying a new toaster to all locations, but in addition to traditional troubleshooting and servicing documentation, the equipment comes with a QR code placard. Digitec created the online resource center to house all of the support content, along with interactive troubleshooting procedures.
“QR codes are not new technology, but until now, the restaurant industry has been focused on using them to benefit customers,” said Jack McGrath, owner and creative director at Digitec. “This flips that on its head, and we were very proud to work with Bojangles to create an intuitive resource for team members, available when they need it.”
With this new process, an employee simply points a camera at the equipment’s QR code using a smartphone or tablet. They can then access a mobile-responsive site that is organized around the most common service tasks and includes vendor-provided videos, user documentation and troubleshooting procedures.
The hope, McGrath said, is that employees will be able to quickly find information and fix the issue, keeping the restaurant fully operational and mitigating below-standard customer experiences. So far, the move has been so successful that Bojangles aims to roll out QR codes and resources centers for other equipment.
“Bojangles is committed to adopting processes in its restaurants that streamline food service efficiency and enhance customer experience,” said John LoBuglio, Senior Director of OpCo for Bojangles. “Through scannable QR codes at each workstation, our team is able to quickly access all necessary information, saving them time and keeping everyone on the same page.”
Digitec specializes in corporate training and learning and development. The company has been designing training solutions for over 20 years, resulting in an average of 50 percent higher learning retention over traditional training methods.
