Wolfgang Puck Worldwide Partners With Avero to Access Powerful Restaurant Finance and Operator Solutions

NEW YORK, NY--(Marketwired - Nov 4, 2013) - Avero, restaurant software that drives profits, announced today a partnership with Wolfgang Puck Worldwide to roll out Avero Slingshot and Avero Flash solutions across all of the company's 30 restaurants worldwide. Wolfgang Puck Worldwide, renowned for innovative cuisine and refined service, plans to utilize Avero Slingshot's full suite of solutions to drive restaurant profits and save time for their managers, chefs and finance teams.

"Previously, we had implemented a reporting solution that was designed for our finance department, but it made it difficult for our operators to leverage that data to make better business decisions," says David Robins, Managing Partner at Wolfgang Puck Worldwide. "Switching to Avero provides our finance department with the critical data and analytical tools they need, plus Avero's easy-to-use interface allows our operators to quickly understand key business drivers and make on-the-fly adjustments to improve server productivity, reduce labor and minimize food costs. A welcome bonus to the partnership is the top notch customer service to align our objectives with the way the software is used, and help our teams get answers immediately when we need them. "

"We are thrilled to have Wolfgang Puck join the Avero family," says Damian Mogavero, CEO and Founder of Avero. "Our products and services are extremely easy-to-use and give busy operators the answers they need to quickly drive profits and save time. Plus, our newly launched group analytic capabilities and customizable Flash reports make our solutions ideal for finance departments. Avero is really the perfect fit for a company like Wolfgang Puck and we are excited to partner with them."
