After an extensive six month competitive testing process, Cosi, Inc. has selected WAND Corporation to be the exclusive vendor for all Digital Menu Board technology.

“We see digital menu boards as a natural progression in the development of the Cosi® brand,” said James Hyatt, Chief Executive Officer of Cosi. “The flexibility and efficiency of digital menu board technology will allow us to further enhance the guest experience.” 

In regards to the recent decision, Hyatt stated that “Because of WAND’s impressive creative content solutions, prompt turnaround times, many years of industry experience, and the caliber of their clients, I feel we’ve forged a true partnership with WAND.” WAND has been developing innovative restaurant technology solutions for multiple nationally recognized brands for 25 years.

In addition, WAND offers a state of the art Content Management System, digital analytics, and POS/DMB integrations for most major brands of POS systems.

It’s upscale menu prominently features made to order sandwiches with Cosi’s delicious artisan flatbread, freshly-tossed salads, flatbread pizzas and more. Cosi® continually upgrades its menu to meet changing customer expectations and has engaged WAND Corporation to help meet those quickly changing demands. The WAND Digital Menu Board solution provides flexibility, efficiency, and quick and easy to use content management. WAND’s exclusive digital analytics stimulates strategic business growth, and enhances sophisticated menu board advertising development for the Cosi® brand. WAND Digital Menu Boards also offer easy customization to each individual Cosi® restaurant.
