El Pollo Loco Speeds Corporate, Store Communication

El Pollo Loco announces that it will deploy MegaPath's Store Connect VPN service to support data communications between its restaurants and centralized corporate resources.

"As El Pollo Loco continues to expand, we look for technology providers that can help us increase restaurant productivity and deliver exceptional guest service," says Tom Giannetti, VP of IT at El Pollo Loco.

In addition to delivering performance and security for credit and gift card authorization processing to El Pollo Loco, Store Connect provides near real-time uploading of store-level transaction data to the central corporate data warehouse which allows headquarters to better support in-store marketing efforts with point-of-sale system downloads for new marketing promotions and price changes.

"MegaPath's fully managed secure connectivity services provide our restaurants access to corporate resources, while allowing our headquarters staff to focus on providing tools that our crewmembers can use to build revenues," continues Giannetti.
