Dallas, Texas (PRWEB) December 07, 2016 -- Teakwood Capital, a Dallas, Texas private equity firm, today announced its portfolio company, Long Range Systems(LRS), has been named a “Best Place to Work 2016” in the medium category by ADDISON – The Magazine.
For more than 20 years, LRS has developed technology solutions that streamline communications between guests and staff, offering businesses confidence and certainty that operations are running smoothly and guests are well cared for.
“This recognition is particularly meaningful because it signifies what we consider to be a central part of our business strategy – our company culture,” said John Weber, CEO at LRS. “We are dedicated to creating an environment where employees celebrate one another’s successes and are aware of their connection with company milestones. We believe our customers are the beneficiaries of the camaraderie shared internally here at LRS.”
LRS recognizes that hiring and maintaining an innovative, forward-thinking team has greatly contributed to the company’s consistent growth since 1995. It all started with the Original Coaster Pager, where LRS revolutionized the restaurant wait. Today, the company’s mission is to modernize the guest experience with complete mobile and paging solutions, operational applications and customer tracking capabilities.
By closely monitoring the needs of industries including restaurant/hospitality, retail, healthcare, entertainment and manufacturing facilities, and medical offices, LRS has been able to set itself apart as the leader in efficient and accurate guest management solutions.
“We believe in hiring skilled and creative employees and then providing them with space to bring product visions to life. Our employees, across all departments, are encouraged to think critically and provide feedback on what we can improve for our customers. This level of company participation is what has kept LRS on the cutting edge,” said Weber.
While the company has a large international footprint, LRS products can also be found across Addison and North Texas, allowing LRS employees to easily put themselves in customers’ shoes and bring that experience back to headquarters. LRS employees regularly visit Addison-based client locations including Jason’s Deli, Panera Bread and BJ’s Brewhouse.
