Discover the growing interest and adoption of RFID technology in the quick-serve restaurant industry. Explore how major quick-serve restaurant chains are leveraging end-to-end supply chain capabilities to enhance food safety and customer experiences.

Leading quick-serve restaurants are collaborating with suppliers to implement RFID-enabled solutions that provide comprehensive visibility into their supply chain. With the ability to track lots, batch numbers, and expiration dates, these restaurants can ensure food safety and streamline recall processes if needed. Additionally, they are embracing customer experiential enhancements within their stores. As labor shortages persist, some establishments are transitioning to self-order kiosks and RFID-enabled processes. Customers can place their orders and receive RFID-enabled cards or chips, allowing for seamless delivery of their orders. Throughout the restaurant, RFID readers assist the limited number of workers in efficiently serving customers.

Join us as we delve into real-world examples of quick-serve restaurants harnessing the power of RFID technology. Witness the benefits of enhanced supply chain visibility, improved food safety practices, and innovative customer experiences. Explore how RFID technology is revolutionizing operations in the quick-serve restaurant industry and paving the way for efficient and engaging dining experiences.

Also, we're seeing actually quite a bit of interest in the quick serve restaurant industry. So a number of very large quick serve restaurants that I'm sure everyone has been to and and frequented, they are actually looking at end to end supply chain ability. So working with some other suppliers from a food safety perspective and being able to see lots and batch number, expiration date, right, and be able to track for maybe some recall purposes, as well as looking at kind of some customer experiential items in the store. Right? So moving to, as Adrian mentioned, a little bit, there's a little bit of a labor shortage going on right now. So not having the same amount of workers in your store, maybe you moved to more of a kiosk and and self order strategy. And and we've seen some quick serve restaurants actually move to RFID enabling that process. So once you order, you can actually take a card or a chip right that has RFID tags over to your table, and they have readers throughout the restaurant to help the limited amount of workers be able to deliver your order to you.

ShipStation now offers Walmart shipping rates with up to $100 lost-package protection

ShipStation now offers Walmart shipping rates with up to $100 lost-package protection

ShipStation has announced Ship with Walmart. It gives Walmart Marketplace sellers direct access to Walmart-negotiated shipping rates inside the ShipStation platform, plus up to $100 in protection on lost-item claims. Only eligible orders shipped on time are covered by that protection. How much a seller saves depends on its own lanes, so the real work before peak season is comparing rates side by side.

  • 01This matters most to seller-fulfilled Walmart brands shipping U.S. domestic parcels from ShipStation; cross-border volume stays on existing carriers because the launch is domestic only.

Retail tech installs go right the first time when technicians know the why

Retail tech installs go right the first time when technicians know the why

Telaid argues that retail technology installations succeed on the first attempt when technicians understand the purpose and end use of the systems they're deploying, not just the mechanical steps. The company standardizes this understanding through certification programs, pairing new technicians with experienced ones, quality audits with feedback loops, and lifecycle service that extends beyond the initial install.

  • 01Technicians who understand camera aim and sensor height are more likely to catch install errors on site, reducing repeat visits and added disruption.
  • 02Telaid standardizes knowledge transfer across locations by certifying technicians on specific technology and customer requirements, pairing newcomers with experienced installers for their first two or three sites, and maintaining ongoing quality audits with documented lessons learned.
  • 03First-time install success is supported by pre-site coordination like materials, permits, and pre-configuration, plus having the right team so trades don’t block each other.

Santé raises $15M for AI sales agents for liquor stores

Santé raises $15M for AI sales agents for liquor stores

Liquor store POS and payments platform Santé raised $15M to build AI agents aimed at boosting store sales.

  • 01Santé earns from payment processing built into its platform, so its income rises with store sales, and the release says its next AI agents will target slow inventory and lapsed customers.
  • 02Santé’s materials cite a quarter of inventory taking a year or more to earn back its cost, a metric to watch for merchandising-agent impact.
  • 03The sharper question for any liquor POS demo: which agent actions post automatically, like invoice-driven cost updates, and which wait for an owner's approval, like price cuts on slow movers.
