COEUR D’ALENE, ID – Pita Pit USA has joined forces with restaurant software company Maitre’D to implement a new Point of Sale system for its 180 locations across the country.
After months of researching and testing new sales administration systems, the Pita Pit chose to work with Maitre’D, a Point of Sale software company based in Seattle, Washington. The restaurant chain was looking for a technological solution to help manage each location in an efficient and cost-effective way, as both sales and number of locations have increased in the past few years.
“Our goal was to find a POS system that would make the task of running and managing a restaurant easier, and be beneficial to the owner’s bottom line,” said Paul Erwin, VP of Administration for Pita Pit USA, Inc. “We needed a solution that was user-friendly, efficient, and reliable, but one that also offered a partnership of support. We’ve found these in Maitre’D.”
The Pita Pit has already started rolling out the Maitre’D software to many of its existing locations. In addition, each new location will use the software along with PartnerTech hardware to manage its sales.
The new system will work in conjunction with the Pita Pit’s recently implemented Heartland-Chockstone gift and loyalty card program, the PIT Card.
The Pita Pit has been named one of Restaurant Business Magazine’s “Future 50” fastest-growing small chains in the United States. It was also ranked one of the Top 100 Global Franchises in 2009 by Franchise Direct, as well as appearing on Entrepreneur Magazine’s Franchise 500 list and the INC. 5000 list of fastest growing private companies for the past three years.
