IRVINE Calif. Altametrics' point-of-sale system and e*Restaurant Enterprises software will be used in new stores and recommended as a retrofit for existing locations, according to executives of Juice it Up Franchise Corp., parent of the approximately 125-unit Juice It Up! smoothie and juice chain based here.
Stephen Boud, Juice it Up! vice president of operations, said the Altametrics software will give the growing chain "the ability to seamlessly upgrade our in-store and above store technology." He said he believes a good percentage of existing franchise locations will convert to the Altametrics package, given its capabilities and the response by some operators to a presentation about that technology. The Juice it Up! executive indicated that the Altametrics software will poll data from units using the existing software platform, as well as from locations running the new bundle.
Representatives of Los Alamitos, Calif.-based Altametrics said Juice it Up! will use the vendor's Back Office, Workforce Management, Email Marketing and POS software to manage and forecast food and labor costs, input and track transaction information and bolster the chain's "Smooth eClub" loyalty program.
