LOUISVILLE, Ky., April 25, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Kentucky
Fried Chicken® announced today the selection of Delaget Guard and
Envysion as KFC's preferred and fully-supported loss prevention
suite for the company's more than 4,100 outlets nationwide.
The announcement comes after a 120-day pilot spearheaded by
KFC's Technology Committee to determine best-in-class loss
prevention solutions and to enhance support for franchisees. During
the pilot, users experienced Delaget's new integration with
Envysion, KFC's DVR system vendor, as part of a loss prevention
suite.
The Delaget and Envysion partnership is the new best practice
for loss prevention, as it helps franchisees leverage advanced
analytics to quickly find substantive theft, use video surveillance
to validate and fully understand the context of those suspicious
activities, and help guide restaurant managers on the immediate
actions to take with prescriptive intelligence.
"Choosing our preferred loss prevention suite was not something
we took lightly," said Chris
Caldwell, chief information officer for KFC U.S. "We
selected Delaget for their extensive experience in the quick
service restaurant industry, ability to handle the security demands
of a large operation, and because their solution, Delaget Guard, is
exceptional at identifying loss and prescribing action. With the
combined capabilities of Delaget and Envysion, KFC franchisees will
have access to powerful loss prevention tools, saving them time and
helping them run more efficient operations. We saw excellent
results with the pilot and are excited to roll it out to our
franchisees."
Franchisees around the country have already started using
Delaget Guard, a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) solution that reduces
loss from theft and error by using proprietary algorithms to find
exceptions in restaurant data, prioritizing those exceptions by
monetary impact, and recommending specific actions restaurant
managers can take to reduce loss. When operators use Delaget and
Envysion together, they can easily compare side-by-side views of
the transactional data with the corresponding video.
"Having ticket-level details side-by-side with video footage is
a game-changer for my team. Instead of spending hours reviewing
footage or analyzing reports, they're now able to easily isolate
and identify issues and make quick responses. With a combined
solution, it's easier to determine if a situation is theft or a
training issue," said Jason Zakaras,
owner of Zak Foods, a 27-unit KFC franchise.
"Instead of losing money to theft, those dollars are re-invested
in our business for new technology and equipment, raises, and
bonuses," said Heath Harrison,
director of loss prevention at JRN Inc., a 154-unit KFC franchise.
"That money is so beneficial when it goes to our bottom line."
"We're extremely proud to partner with an innovative QSR like
KFC. Their expertise leveraging technology to focus on continuous
improvement, employee training, and operational efficiencies aligns
with our mission to help restauranteurs run smarter, more
profitable restaurants," said Jason Tober, Delaget CEO.
