Chiasso, Switzerland, 19 Nov 2015

BOARD International, the leading global provider of software for unified BI, Analytics and CPM, today announced that the US restaurant chain Del Taco has selected BOARD to improve decision management through the calculation and reporting of Key Performance Indicators.

Del Taco is a major US operator and franchisor of restaurants serving both Mexican and American classic dishes. The company and its franchisees operate close to 550 restaurants in 16 states, serving more than three million guests each week.

"We chose the BOARD platform to provide Del Taco with a single source of data for calculating and reporting Key Performance Indicators," said David A Snyder, Vice President, Information Technology for Del Taco. "We also judged the BOARD platform as the best-in-class solution available to enable financial consolidation and filings with minimal IT staffing. Our legacy methods of reporting business progress, which included a SQL server reporting system and Excel, required the consolidation of data across multiple data sources, which limited what we could accomplish."

In particular, Del Taco sought functionality within the BOARD platform, which included multi-dimensional database architecture, robust integration with Microsoft Excel, analytical applications, workflow, process modelling, mobile capabilities and predictive analytics, said Snyder.

Del Taco's UnFreshing Believable campaign communicates the lengths the company goes to in order to deliver quality, made-to-order menu items created with freshly prepared ingredients at unbelievable prices. With nearly 550 restaurants in 16 states, Del Taco serves more than three million guests each week. For more information, please visit www.deltaco.com.
