Pal’s Sudden Service - Sysdine People Resource Management Software
Pal's Sudden Service developed extraordinarily effective people resource management processes, which in turn produced extraordinary results in growth, customer satisfaction, productivity, and turnover reduction. These processes are now incorporated in a software system called Sysdine, which utilizes Microsoft Visual FoxPro and Microsoft SQL Server. Pal's is the only restaurant company ever to win the Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award.
