Nando’s implement TOPdesk service management platform
Nando’s, the 200-strong chain of casual dining restaurants across Australia and New Zealand, has adopted a new IT support service from TOPdesk’s highly rated, cloud-based service management platform delivering a unified and transparent view of IT services that support head office staff and restaurant venues.
Nando’s has integrated IT incident, asset and change management into TOPdesk as well as introducing a new self-service portal making restaurant managers much more self-reliant in fixing IT problems for themselves.
The implementation of TOPdesk began in early 2020 but was put on hold during the COVID pandemic while Nando’s focused on the launch of their new digital platform to meet the evolving needs of their customers.
Nando’s uses TOPdesk to capture information and quickly assign jobs to IT team members and keep track of their progress. With the initial implementation now complete, Nando’s continues to develop an internal service catalogue to provide even better support for their restaurant venues and central support staff.
According to Nando’s IT Operations Manager, Barney Rehfisch, lockdown, and the change in business model brought about a new sense of self-reliance among its restaurant managers.
“Increased control and visibility of our IT assets has allowed us to deliver a better IT experience for our people,” said Barney. “Our knowledge management system unlocks standard solutions to everyone, reducing the dependency on the IT team to help fix or answer common questions. The TOPdesk self-service portal delivers much-needed transparency allowing restaurants and central support staff to now easily see the status of their IT requests.”
Nando’s has also begun to broaden the scope of TOPdesk to include change management to reduce risk and continually improve their ability to meet service commitments and expectations.
TOPdesk general manager for Australia and New Zealand, Marian den Ouden, believes Nando’s has laid a strong foundation for continued employee and customer experience improvements.
“Our aim with the initial adoption of TOPdesk is to give the customer complete visibility costs and service delivery. That then opens the door to embedding service excellence at the heart of everything you do whether it is for employees, contractors, suppliers or customers.”
