Stinker Stores has partnered with Inteladata-owned Updog to enhance its roller grill execution and drive sales growth. The collaboration leverages Inteladata’s proprietary AI-powered platform, which integrates advanced camera vision technology to enhance foodservice execution, drive revenue growth and improve customer retention across Stinker’s network of 105 c-stores.
By utilizing real-time analytics, automated inventory management tools and robust reporting, Stinker can now maximize roller grill sales, minimize waste and ensure that its roller grill selections are always optimized for customer demand.
“We are thrilled to work with Stinker to help bring their roller grill program to new heights,” said Robert Dreesch, founder and CEO. “This partnership will improve foodservice execution at the store level but also improve customer satisfaction and significantly boost sales.”
Through this partnership, Stinker will be able to offer a wider variety of fresh, high-quality items at peak performance times, ensuring customers enjoy a consistent and satisfying buying experience.
The real-time monitoring of grill items will enable store managers to keep track of demand, adjust inventory and maintain an attractive, fully stocked roller grill throughout the day.
Zach Treinen, senior category manager at Stinker, said, “With so much focus on AI, especially within the fresh food and dispensed beverage space, we see this strategic partnership as a springboard to turn a broad, hard-to-define term, such as ‘artificial intelligence,’ into ‘actionable intelligence,’ which can quickly and easily grow sales and site-level execution.”
Stinker Stores currently operates 105 locations across Idaho, Colorado and Wyoming, and employs nearly 1,500 people.
