Town & Country Deploys Job Kiosks

Phoenix Kiosks enables in-store self-service job applications

SAN ANGELO, Texas -- Town & Country Food Stores, using hardware provided by Phoenix Kiosk Inc., has completed an initial deployment of more than 150 self-service Sliivr kiosks to its various stores in western Texas and eastern New Mexico.

The units enable job applicants to submit an employment application via the Internet from the store in which they would like to work. The online application is routed directly to a hiring manager, who can review the application directly online. By moving the job application onto an Internet-enabled kiosk, the process [image-nocss] can be accelerated and applicants hired more efficiently and without taking time away from the store personnel, the company said.

Combining an online application with an in-store, Internet-enabled kiosk has solved the challenge of keeping rural stores adequately staffed in an efficient manner, Alan Work, CEO of Phoenix Kiosk, Tempe, Ariz.

Devin Bates, CIO of San Angelo, Texas-based Town & Country, said The kiosks look great in our stores, are attractive to potential applicants, and are built tough...a must in our store environments.

Phoenix Kiosk designs, manufactures and distributes kiosk hardware and software technologies for use in a wide variety of applications including vended Internet access, order entry, human resources, ticketing, bill payment, digital content download, digital signage, way-finding, in-store cataloguing and more. Through its online store, www.kioskstuff.com, Phoenix Kiosk also offers cleaning and consumable supplies.

Town & Country has 168 stores, of which 161 operate under the Town & Country banner and seven under the Village Market banner. The company operates restaurants in 110 stores, primarily operating under the Country Cookin' name. The company was recently acquired by Susser Holdings Corp., Corpus Christi, Texas.
