Quiznos Launches Myquiznos.com, Next Generation Extranet To Support Increased Franchise Owner Profitability

Quiznos, one of the nation's fastest-growing quick service restaurant chains, today launched MyQuiznos.com for North American franchise owners and corporate employees. The site is the foundation upon which future IT advances will be built to better align the organization and its franchise owners in meeting communications and profitability objectives. "MyQuiznos.com will provide tools, information and communication channels to help franchise owners and the corporate office achieve the commitments laid forth in Greg Brenneman's ‘Go Forward Plan' for increased franchise owner profitability," said Frank Hood, Quiznos Chief Information Officer. "Our vision, as we continue to strategically build out the site, is to create a virtual Quiznos community containing a wealth of relevant information while eliminating costly faxes, printing and video. These benefits will be enhanced by the free computers and printers being delivered to franchise owners to continue to raise efficiencies and create an optimized digital platform for our business model." MyQuiznos.com provides a complete communication and information portal for every person in the organization from corporate staff to Area Directors and franchise owners, representing over 8,000 users currently in the Quiznos online community. With the addition of newly signed franchise owners, transfer owners and international users in the coming weeks, over 30,000 users worldwide will have access to MyQuiznos.com. Mr. Hood added, "We recognized early on that it was extremely important to develop a solution that would engage our Quiznos franchise owners in highly interactive communication. The MyQuiznos.com site facilitates this interaction conveniently 24 hours a day, 7 days a week." Some of the new features available on MyQuiznos.com are: personal email accounts for all franchise owners, messaging and forum spaces, real-time reports, email notification via cell phones, RSS feeds, guest experience program integration, financial and compliance reporting, a "CEO corner" and online sales reporting. The site will be easily accessible for franchise owners in their stores with new computers and printers being provided by Quiznos early this fall. "MyQuiznos.com is a huge win for us. We took a seven month project and completed it in just four months," said Jonathan Merer, Quiznos IT Web Manager and head of development for MyQuiznos.com. "Integrating a complex business model into an easy to use and easy to administer portal was certainly a challenge for us. Leveraging technology to increase franchise owner profitability is an excellent first step and we expect to continue to build on this process."
