Global technology company to demonstrate how restaurants can bridge the gap between physical and digital channels to improve the dining experience

ATLANTA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 16, 2018-- NCR Corporation (NYSE: NCR) announced today that its software solutions designed to improve restaurant operations across physical and digital channels, will be showcased at the National Restaurant Association (NRA) Show in Chicago from May 19 – 22 in booth #6228. Attendees will have the opportunity to see how NCR’s restaurant solutions can manage their business by providing data to help move them from transactions to interactions that matter.

This year at NRA, NCR will take booth attendees on a “journey” that follows in the footsteps of a millennial as she orders food on-the-go. By taking attendees on this customer experience, we’ll help them reimagine consumer engagement in a landscape where physical and digital channels demonstrate a long-term business vision and strategy.

“The hospitality industry is undergoing a radical transformation where physical and digital connections are colliding. At the same time, the expectations of patrons are becoming increasingly diverse. To survive in this dynamic environment, restaurant and foodservice professionals must remove complexities and make the process of catering to the needs of their customers both in and outside of their establishments go more smoothly and securely,” said Don Zimmerman, General Manager of the Hospitality Solutions Group at NCR. “The user journey demonstrates our approach and commitment to simplify the technology solution for restaurants.”

Booth technologies and solutions range from quick-service and table service platform-of-sale (POS) systems to the latest digital signage used to engage consumers with omni-channel experiences, including consumer self-ordering solutions, back office solutions, and payment solutions.

“At NCR, we recognize the restaurant industry’s craving for imminent, flexible solutions that make their operations more efficient. Through our own transformation, we are at the forefront of the industry transformation, and we are keen to show our industry partners how by implementing the right technology that connects and simplifies their business processes, they can focus on their true passion of meeting the tastes and expectations of their guests,” said Zimmerman.
