Franchise Restaurant Company A large restaurant company relies on independently owned and operated franchise locations. A major initiative was to standardize the software and systems throughout their entire network of over 6,000 stores. A key element of this plan is using mobile computing software to back up the operational data from each store daily at the company headquarters in a central database. Using the backed up data, executive management at the corporate headquarters get summary reports of daily chain operations by noon each following day. They are able to analyze the results of promotional campaigns and make adjustments with incredible speed, outmaneuvering their competition. In addition, franchises benefit from an improved support of their systems, including having vital data backed up at the headquarters server in case systems are compromised in their location.
