In particular, Wendy's will utilize PAR Punchh's artificial intelligence-powered (AI) platform and the Punchh Enterprise Support to improve Wendy's Rewards, which is available in the restaurant's almost 6,500 stores in Canada and the United States. The loyalty and engagement platform's parent company, PAR Technology Corp., announced the partnership with The Wendy's Company on Thursday, March 28.
Aim of Integrating AI-Driven Solutions to Rewards Program

Integrating the open architecture of PAR Technology's AI-driven solution to the fast-food's delivery system will ensure smoother and faster transactions. Moreover, through cooperation with loyalty strategists at PAR Punchh, Wendy's will develop its comprehensive strategy to further invigorate the guest experience.
"Loyalty is not a feature, it is an outcome – driving more customer lifetime value," Savneet Singh, PAR Technology's chief executive officer, said in a press release. "We believe that coupling our technology with our skilled team of loyalty strategists not only gives brands the tools to build guest loyalty but also puts us in the driver's seat with them to deliver results."
The CEO added, "The partnership we are building with Wendy's is going to help cultivate their ability to deepen relationships with their fans and stand out. Blending their iconic brand offerings with cutting-edge solutions is a winning combo!"
