  • Posist transforms into Restroworks

    Posist transforms into Restroworks

    Mumbai: Posist, a pioneer in cloud-based restaurant technology solutions, announced a comprehensive rebranding as it changed its name to Restroworks. This new identity reflects the company’s transformation since its inception in 2012 from a Point of Sale (POS) provider to a unified technology platform serving global restaurant chains like Taco Bell, Subway, Nando’s, Buffalo Wild Wings, Belgian Waffle Company, and groups like Dabur, ITC, and Reliance across multiple formats, including food courts, IT parks, universities, food zones in airports, among other.

    Restroworks, a fusion of ‘Restro’ and ‘works,’ symbolizes the company’s commitment to encompassing the entirety of the restaurant technology domain. The new brand name embodies the company’s unified suite of products addressing all aspects of restaurant operations and technological requirements.

    With its renewed purpose of ‘making restaurants prosperous,’ the company has undergone rebranding by introducing a new company name, logo, website, and fresh identity to represent its unified technology platform  – including cloud-native POS software, inventory management software, a kitchen automation suite, analytics, digital ordering solutions, and integrations with over 400+ third-party solutions like delivery aggregators, payment gateways, loyalty programs, financial and accounting tools, and ERP solutions.

    “In 2012, we started Posist with the vision of making a mark in restaurant technology with our cloud-native POS solution. As we grew, we pushed the boundaries, driven by our vision to build products that can create a long-term impact on the bottom-line efficiency of global restaurants and make them prosperous. Our company’s evolution and expanded vision called for a new brand identity that allows us to articulate our progression as a unified restaurant technology platform. In sync with our vision, we have unveiled Restroworks – a name that symbolizes our commitment to providing comprehensive technology that seamlessly works across the entire restaurant ecosystem. This rebrand is more than just a name change; it reflects our strategic approach to building the company over the next decade as a pioneering force in restaurant technology,” said Restroworks founders Sakshi & Ashish Tulsian.

    Early this year, Restroworks (formerly Posist) cemented its market leadership and was named one of the top 50 APAC software companies in the prestigious G2 2024 Best Software Companies list. The company achieved over 80% year-over-year growth, reaching 20,000 customers across more than 50 countries.

    Over the last five years, Restroworks has significantly invested in expanding its global presence in the US, Middle East, Latin America, and Southeast Asia. The company also invested in high-quality infrastructure and upgraded security compliance to provide a scalable, enterprise-grade cloud platform for multi-national restaurant chains. Restroworks is certified with ISO 27001, ISO 27017, ISO 27701, SOC1 Type 2, SOC 2 Type 2, and GDPR compliant.

    To boost the industry’s technological prowess, the company has launched Restroworks Academy – a platform for customers and their frontline staff, equipping them with the knowledge to become more efficient and upskill their technology knowledge. The initiative is now being rolled out to impart skill development among hospitality students in various universities.

    Brand Twitter describes 2020 in one word

    NEW DELHI: As 2020 draws to a close (finally!), many are convinced it was a cursed year, when everything that could, did go wrong, and there was little cause for cheer. Of course, most of the blame was apportioned to the Covid2019 pandemic, but there were challenges on several other fronts too – which impacted the environment, people and businesses. So when Twitter’s official handle said to describe ‘2020 in one word’ and put it out in the universe, everyone had a lot to say. And Brand Twitter wasn’t far behind in expressing its thoughts on ‘the worst year in recent memory.’

    While some brands were all for the year to be over and done with…

    Windows

    Adobe

    YouTube

    Subway

    Others had a rather existentialist view of things…

    Netflix

    LEGO

    Zoom

    Microsoft Edge

    A few tried to look on the bright side…

    Meanwhile, Thrive Global founder & CEO Arianna Huffington has chosen ‘resilience’ as her word of the year. Resilience, or the capacity to recover quickly from difficulties, “is the quality that was summoned in us by all the challenges of 2020. It’s also the quality that’s going to carry us forward into 2021,” writes Huffington. And that’s a word to live by.

    Ms Shuchi Monga, Head of Marketing, Subway®South Asia said, “We Indians have a strong connection with the food that we’ve grown up eating. The TVC, in a humorous way, depicts how the new desi flavours can bring out the desi-ness in anyone.” 

    The TVC, highlighting the new flavours, shot in Subway’s new Fresh Forward design, will surely connect with audience across all age bands and will definitely inspire them to try the new menu items, added Ms Monga.

    To promote their new menu-items, Subway® India has built a 360-degree marketing campaign, led by the traditional as well as the digital media where bespoke creative derived from the main TVC will be played on TV. 

    The TVC has been produced by Happy Making Films and the creative agency is Dentsu Creative Impact.

    Mr Amit Wadhwa, President, Dentsu Creative Impact said, “Young Indians today are no longer shy about embracing and celebrating their desi-ness. So, with the introduction of desi flavours, there is a great opportunity to add a desi twist to Subway® offerings, thereby bringing it closer to consumers’ heart.”

    Mr Gaurav Kandpal, Director, Happy Making Films said,“In this TVC we have used lighting and music as tools in setting up a transformation in context of the build-up and reveal. Idea is to lead the audience into the plot and then bring in the surprise element.”
