About

Workpulse MDR

Read full description

This innovative solution aims to streamline QSR (Quick Service Restaurant) operations by eliminating the need for location managers to provide their usernames or passwords when logging in to our applications, like Workpulse Book. Instead, by registering their device to a specific location, all employees can conveniently access the Workpulse application using their personal pin numbers and complete all the required tasks at the location. This option of registering a device to a location eliminates the need for a location manager to login first and have the device ready for other users. This enhancement will significantly enhance operational efficiency and ease of use for our customers. Workpulse has a variety of applications used by Quick Service Restaurants over the past several years. This new option of having a device registered to a location, makes deploying and using Workpulse applications at the location simple and easy.
