Real-Time Insights for Brazilian Location
SÃO PAULO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jun. 2, 2015--

announced that Dunkin’ Donuts has opened its first site in Brazil using
NCR restaurant technology and cloud solutions. NCR’s solutions will help
the Brazilian location, which is operated by OLH Group to engage
consumers more effectively and operate with greater efficiency.
With a new style, the chain arrives to Brasília and the neighboring

“NCR’s mobile and cloud-based solutions allow us to achieve our
long-term goals while providing us a platform that can grow with us.”
In the back of the house, NCR is helping Dunkin’ Donuts to manage stock
in real time, thereby allowing a better control of costs and reducing
losses. Dunkin’ Donuts will also be able to enjoy the benefits of NCR
Configuration Center’s above-store capabilities, allowing the chain to
improve operational efficiency at the store-level in their Brazilian
locations. Each new item or price change on the menu is automatically
synchronized, simplifying management’s daily work.
Dunkin’ Donuts has committed to using mobility as a competitive
advantage to monitor transactions and reports on-demand. NCR
Real-Time, a cloud-based mobile app is providing the management team
visibility into its day-to-day operations, enabling the team to make
better decisions that directly impact the bottom line.
“Dunkin’ Donuts is a strong brand with a significant presence throughout
the world, and we are excited that Dunkin’ Donuts has selected NCR to
help them achieve their long-term expansion goals in Brazil’s fast food
market. NCR’s restaurant technology enables Dunkin’ Donuts to be more
agile, while providing them with the performance and scalability to
protect their investment for the future,” comments Luiz Bento, the
