MINNEAPOLIS – November 14, 2022 – Restaurant Technologies (RT) and its Total Oil Management solution was recognized as the Vendor of the Year at the KFC Northwest Franchisee Association (KFCNWFA) conference held in Waikoloa Village, Hawaii in early November.

“We are honored to be recognized as the Vendor of the Year by such a valued partner,” said Curt Morford, National Account Executive for RT. “We look forward to supporting KFC and Yum! Brands as they set new standards and reach new heights in the quick service restaurant industry.”

Another “Vendor of the Year” award is then presented at its national conference. The northwest association currently includes 23 franchisees with a total of 410 KFC locations.
“Restaurant Technologies has changed the way our businesses operate,” said Daniel Jackson, Manager at Graja, Inc., a company that operates multiple KFC locations in the Northwest region. “Its automated oil management system provides a safer workplace for our employees and has allowed us to better utilize our employees by eliminating some of the messiest jobs in the kitchen, which has been invaluable to us in such a tight labor market.”
