HotSchedules, a leading provider of workforce and back office solutions for the restaurant and hospitality industries, announced that Noodles & Company has selected the Clarifi Intelligent Operating Platform as its back office technology platform. The technology deployment will help Noodles & Company optimize revenue opportunities, increase operational visibility, manage labor costs and reduce food waste across the company’s 413 company-owned and 66 franchise restaurants.

Clarifi is the first cloud-based intelligent restaurant operating platform specifically designed to help operators, managers and their teams prepare and perform in the face of the unpredictable. Through its six modules – Foundation, Labor, Inventory, Financials & Cash, Asset Management and Talent Development – Clarifi delivers actionable insights to help managers forecast needs, drive consistent operations, maintain compliance and grow top-line revenue.

“We chose HotSchedules because they are an established technology partner with strong executive leadership from the restaurant industry. We believe the Clarifi platform will successfully support Noodles & Company’s growth strategy by providing more operational visibility and consistency,” says Brad West, executive vice president of operations at Noodles & Company. “The technology is going to enable and empower our managers to make decisions that will delight guests and positively impact unit-level sales.”

For 2018, Noodles & Company announced an increased focus on its people, product and operations, including new investments in technology as well as new, healthy menu offerings.

“Noodles & Company understands the importance of their restaurant managers to overall performance and unit-level profitability,” says Sean Fitzpatrick, chief operating officer and head of product at HotSchedules. “We built Clarifi for great brands like Noodles & Company to maximize the effectiveness of their managers and teams, so that they can consistently provide the great experiences and levels of service that keep guests coming back.”
