APT Announces Continued Partnership with California Pizza Kitchen
WASHINGTON, D.C. (PRWEB) May 20, 2015 -- Applied Predictive Technologies (APT) announced today that California Pizza Kitchen (CPK), an authority on California-style pizza and industry leader in creative dining, will continue licensing APT’s Test & Learn® software. CPK will use the software to evaluate, tailor, and target initiatives designed as part of its “Next Chapter,” including new menu options and customized offers. CPK is one of many top restaurant organizations who use APT’s software.
“APT’s Test & Learn software enables us to accurately evaluate new ideas on a broad range of metrics. Using APT, we are able to determine which location types and guest segments respond best to specific initiatives,” said Katie Anderson, SVP of Finance at CPK. “For example, we used APT’s software to analyze our remodel and menu enhancement program. The software helped us determine where we should invest in minor upgrades vs. larger overhauls, and which menu items to promote.”
CPK is among several leading restaurant organizations who are focused on isolating how guests respond to each change across their business, from seasonal items they launch each year to their most innovative new business ideas.
“In the restaurant industry, we’re seeing a greater focus on digital, more creative menu options, and increased emphasis on customizing offers for guests. Innovators like CPK who are carefully and systematically using analytics to determine what their guests will desire next, and how their guests respond to new initiatives, are reaping enormous rewards,” said APT SVP Jonathan Marek. “We look forward to continuing to support CPK with our Test & Learn software.”
