Noodles & Company Testimonial

 

Checkers case study Checkers informed their e-commerce strategy with Test & Learn® insights

Checkers used Test & Learn® to understand the incremental impact of introducing e-commerce vendors for delivery orders. Test & Learn® found that the new vendors drove nearly a double digit increase in e-commerce sales and that roughly half of the sales increase was incremental, whereas the other half was cannibalized from on-premise sales. These findings were presented to the Checkers executive team to help inform their overall e-commerce strategy.
