MEMPHIS Tenn. Perkins Restaurant & Bakery, the 480-unit family chain based here, will use Tibersoft Corp.'s IQ technology systemwide for acquiring, analyzing and reporting on purchasing data and vendor contract compliance, according to Tibersoft.
Officials of Westborough, Mass.-based Tibersoft said Perkins chose to use IQ because of the results achieved using that technology by 138-unit sister chain, Marie Callender's Restaurant & Bakery.
James F. Barrasso, executive vice president of purchasing for Perkins and Marie Callender's Inc., parent of the two chains, said the enterprise generates $1.2 billion in sales, necessitating more than $300 million in purchases annually. Tibersoft's technology "will allow us to understand our business better," he noted.
