DigitalPersona hardware popping up in KFC franchises in U.S.

Tuesday, September 20, 2011

DigitalPersona has announced that multiple KFC restaurants owned by the chain’s franchisees are improving their loss prevention programs with fingerprint biometrics.

Officials from both of the franchises implementing the new technology, West Quality Food Service and KBP Foods, have reported reductions in payroll and food costs due to the new systems. [end]
