Gail Chiasson, North American Editor
STRATACACHE, Dayton, Okio-based provider of scalable, high-performance digital signage, content distribution and enterprise video acceleration technologies, has been named an approved feature panel/digital menu board software provider for American Dairy Queen Corporation.
To spice up Dairy Queen static menu boards, STRATACACHE’s ActiVia for Media software was chosen to power digital feature panels across 300 Dairy Queen and DQ Grill & Chill restaurant locations. Serving up a rich selection of dynamic content, the 46″ thin bezel LCD feature panel plays high-definition product videos to increase options for monthly promotions, direct sales to higher margin items and increase product awareness.
The software driving the Dairy Queen experience is STRATACACHE’s ActiVia for Media digital signage software. ADQ chose STRATACACHE’s managed solution offering, allowing all content to be designed and managed by ADQ and all installation and maintenance to be carried out by STRATACACHE. Technical support is also available, ensuring Dairy Queen operators a hands-free experience with digital signage.
