“It’s expensive to do a truck roll, so as much as you can do plug-and-play the better. The beauty is we can do it all remotely. With the Spectro Cloud solution using Kubernetes, we can upgrade one node at a time and then everything is back online within a matter of 30, 45 minutes. We can convert a store to a new solution by simply taking an hour once the restaurant’s closed to do that.”
