Wireless Ronin Provides Interactive Digital Signage Technology for ARAMARK's New
High Tech Burger Studio Brand
MINNEAPOLIS, Oct. 28, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Wireless Ronin Technologies, Inc.
(Nasdaq:RNIN), a Minneapolis-based digital signage provider, announced today
that its relationship providing digital signage solutions for ARAMARK has
expanded to include its newly launched Burger Studio brand through its Higher
Education division.
"Wireless Ronin has been working with ARAMARK on the concept for over a year. We
provided the touch screen order kiosk, the digital menu system and participated
in the creation of the menu and touch interface design which was based on the
visual style created by ARAMARK," said James (Jim) Granger, president and CEO of
Wireless Ronin Technologies. "We are excited to see the positive reaction and
press coverage regarding the initial roll outs such as the article written by
Nation's Restaurant News."
Wireless Ronin provides the hardware and RoninCast(R) digital signage software
for digital menu boards and touch screen ordering kiosks. The Burger Studio
kiosks allow students to build their own burgers by selecting their choice of
Angus, chicken or veggie burgers and customize them with over 30 topping
options. As they make selections, the kiosk displays their burgers being built
with their topping choices. Once the order is complete, the kiosk prints a
receipt while another order receipt prints in the kitchen area.
ARAMARK Higher Education provides professional services to more than 600
colleges and universities throughout North America and launched Burger
Studio(TM), the first brand created entirely by students, this fall at the
University of Delaware, University of Hartford, Middle Tennessee State
University and Missouri Western State University. ARAMARK plans to open
additional locations through the remainder of 2009 and early next year.
Wireless Ronin has worked with ARAMARK over the past year providing digital
signage solutions for multiple ARAMARK divisions including Healthcare, Business
Dining Service, K-12 and Higher Education. Wireless Ronin has provided
consulting, creative design, project management, custom development, training,
installation and hosting through the Network Operations Center located in
Minneapolis.
