Case Study: Whataburger boosts emergency response and employee safety with AlertMedia

Whataburger protects 50,000+ employees with AlertMedia

Whataburger, a major restaurant chain with over 900 locations, faced significant challenges in monitoring widespread threats and communicating rapidly with its 50,000+ employees during emergencies. Their small emergency management team needed a faster, more accurate way to protect their workforce—referred to as family members—from incidents like severe weather and active shooters. They turned to AlertMedia for its integrated emergency communication software and threat intelligence platform.

AlertMedia provided an integrated solution that automated threat intelligence alerts and enabled precise, real-time communication. This allowed Whataburger’s team to send targeted safety messages in under a minute, proactively warning employees during tornadoes and an active shooter situation. The results included a greatly improved response speed, more accurate information delivery, and significant time savings for the small team, ultimately enhancing the safety and security of their entire workforce across 14 states.
