DataCandy continues to strengthen its positioning as a gift card and loyalty program leader across the restaurant industry with the announcement of a new strategic partnership with quick-service restaurant franchisor Kahala Brands and Texas-based Focus POS Systems.

Known for its well-established partner ecosystem, DataCandy continuously evaluates opportunities to integrate its proven technology with leading point of sale (POS) systems. The DataCandy/Focus POS Systems partnership will enable restaurants of any size across North America to integrate both platforms seamlessly. Through this strategic alignment, current and future restaurants utilizing Focus POS Systems will have access to a turnkey, end-to-end solution encompassing POS, gift card, and loyalty program technology.

Ginger Sushi Boutique and Thai Express, both existing Focus POS System users and two of Kahala Brands’ fastest growing U.S. quick-service restaurant franchises, are the first to capitalize on DataCandy’s newest alliance. Kahala Brands selected DataCandy as its strategic partner to rollout a gift card and loyalty program for the two brands as well as to leverage the company’s industry track record to elevate customer engagement initiatives.

“Our relationship with Focus POS Systems, along with the two U.S. projects from Kahala Brands, will open new doors and help more restauranteurs gain the operational benefits of a simple and seamless technology platform,” says Lorne Schwartz, CEO of DataCandy. “The strategy we have in place to expand DataCandy’s reach and services into the U.S. market is paying off.”
