Background

Penn Station offers a unique line of fresh sandwiches, french fries, and lemonade to customers across 300+ locations in 15 states. Sandwiches are prepared fresh in full view of the customer using hearth-baked bread and the finest meats, cheeses, and vegetables. The potatoes are hand selected, fresh-cut, and flash-fried in cholesterol-free peanut oil. The lemonade is made from scratch every day using hand-squeezed lemons. Their franchisees and crew are happy to serve customers and ensure the dining experience meets a high standard for quality that produces the finest grilled subs and fresh-cut fries around.

Challenge

Before partnering with Checkmate, Penn Station faced significant headwinds managing third-party delivery orders. The complexity of juggling multiple tablets for different delivery platforms was overwhelming for the restaurant teams. Moreover, Penn Station's unique, proprietary POS system required a custom integration that other solution providers couldn’t build. Checkmate stepped in, crafting a unique solution that seamlessly integrated with Penn Station's existing POS, eliminating the need for multiple devices and simplifying the entire process.

Who you partner with is as, or more important than why you partnered with them. If you can’t trust them, if they can’t work with your other partners, then they are not the solution for you. I know on any given day, if I need to reach out to the CEO, VP of Product Development, or my Success Manager at Checkmate, I not only have the ability to do so, but it’s invited. You don’t get that everywhere.
