Case Study: LDF Food Group achieves faster, more reliable restaurant operations with EarthLink Business MPLS Direct Connect

EarthLink’s MPLS Direct Connect helps franchisor put the fast in fast food for better service and happier customers

LDF Food Group, Inc., which operates 42 Wendy’s franchises in the Midwest, needed a network that could keep up with new customer-facing technology, faster transactions, and stricter security requirements. Its existing data network lacked the bandwidth, reliability, and scalability needed to support point-of-sale systems, credit card processing, guest Wi-Fi, and employee training, so it turned to Earthlink Business for help, using EarthLink’s MPLS Direct Connect service.

Earthlink Business implemented MPLS Direct Connect to give LDF private, PCI-compliant connections across all locations, with configuration and testing support. The result was 99.999% uptime, POS transaction times as low as two seconds, lower transaction and phone costs by thousands annually, and reduced processor fees and improved security for compliance.
