Lawrenceville, GA (RestaurantNews.com) Five Guys Burgers and Fries of Lorton, VA, one of the fastest growing franchise restaurant chains in the US, has selected Touchblock Restaurant Management System in support of its continued growth and expansion, ensuring real time food safety monitoring and reporting at the store level. Nation’s Restaurant News rated Five Guys Number 1 in their list of Top 100 Chains ranked by Growth in U.S. Franchise Units for the last 2 years and this trend is to continue for 2011.

Touchblock offered the most comprehensive program with regards to equipment monitoring within the restaurant, critical monitoring of food, active responses to problems (HACCP) and the use of cloud computing and data base management to provide real-time access to information previously only available onsite. This access to information helps to ensure compliance with local health inspector’s guidelines and corporate defined best practices. Jim Gibson, Director of Food Safety and Quality Assurance for Five Guys, said “Touchblock has met and exceeded our expectations” with regards to food safety monitoring and compliance versus the traditional paper and pencil method.
