Sprint and Walsh Wireless launch Dairy Queen HP computer initiative at World of DQ Expo
Going “green”, PCI compliance, WIFI connectivity, onsite employee computer training and leveraging technology to improve store operations were all hot topics being discussed at the World of DQ Expo held in Cancun, Mexico. After the DQ Expo, many franchise owners are trying to figure out how to implement the information, programs and vendor solutions at the Expo as a way to improve their overall restaurant level operations and profitability.
One of the programs highlighted at the World of DQ Expo was the HP computer and Sprint Broadband network solution presented by Sprint and Walsh Wireless. Sprint and Walsh Wireless have been selected by IDQ to be the single source partner to assist with our franchises HP computer and telecommunications needs. Leveraging IDQ’s long time relationship with HP and the power of the Sprint 3G/4G network, Sprint and Walsh Wireless has created customized DQ computer/Sprint bundle solutions to simplify the ordering, procurement and logistics process of Sprint and HP services.
“The DQ organization takes paperless operations and green initiatives very seriously” states John Gainor, president and CEO. “We have set soft deadlines of January 2012 to have a computer in every store but we hope this program is a great mechanism to leverage technology sooner versus later. In addition to the technological advantages this gives the DQ system, we need to make sure we are doing our part when it comes to the environment.”
