NEXTEP Candidate Preview
One of the candidates this year is Tommy Woycik of NEXTEP SYSTEMS. NEXTEP provides self-order software for food and restaurants.
NEXTEP is in the news this month with its all-new touchscreen drive-thru ordering system, the DT5. With a flexible footprint, improved ergonomics, and a lower total cost of ownership, the DT5 will help streamline operations for concepts with limited space and/or budgets. The DT5 also integrates seamlessly with the rest of NEXTEP’s product suite, including POS and mobile ordering. With NEXTEP’s POS, restaurant employees see orders in real-time and process those orders intuitively, thereby speeding up drive-thru operations. Additionally, guests can order from their mobile devices and use the DT5 to tell the restaurant that they have arrived to pick up their orders.
Watch the video, Equalizing the Drive Thru, to see how the Touchscreen Drive Thru makes the ordering experience identical for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing and any other guest, truly eliminating any stigma or discrimination.
