Jeni’s Splendid Ice Creams Scoops up Toast POS

BOSTON, Aug. 22, 2017 -- Toast, the all-in-one restaurant technology platform and one of the fastest-growing SaaS companies in the U.S., today announced a partnership with Jeni’s Splendid Ice Creams, a pioneer in the artisanal ice cream market with 31 scoop shops in eight cities across the country, to serve as the Company’s point-of-sale (POS) platform.

Founded in 2002 by James Beard Award winner Jeni Britton Bauer, Jeni’s is a Certified B Corporation known for its use of whole ingredients and milk from grass-pastured cows, as well as its commitment to bettering the environment and the surrounding communities where it sets up shop. Toast’s restaurant technology platform will serve all of Jeni’s locations.

“Jeni’s was in need of a restaurant technology platform that offered an all-in-one solution for our scoop shops,” said John Lowe, CEO at Jeni’s Splendid Ice Creams. “We needed a system that streamlined ordering, provided ongoing product innovation, supported enterprise-level functionality and customer data capabilities, and, most importantly, helped us improve the customer experience.”

The platform also features revenue-driving tools including physical and digital gift cards, loyalty programs, and online ordering.

Jeni’s Splendid Ice Creams was founded in 2002 by James Beard Award winning cookbook author Jeni Britton Bauer.

Today, Jeni’s is a Certified B Corporation with 31 scoop shops, an online shop at jenis.com, and distribution in top grocery stores across the country.
