After a rigorous testing and certification process by CKE™, the EverServ 7700 terminal is now approved and certified for all Carl’s Jr. and Hardee’s corporate owned and franchised locations.
“The EverServ 7700’s innovative design with centralized port connectivity and easy access to major components will simplify the service of the terminal and maximize our uptime,” said Tom Lindblom, Vice President of IT and Chief Technology Officer, CKE Restaurants, Inc. “The modular design of the EverServ 7700 will enable our restaurants to upgrade key components as needs change (CPU, memory, touch screen, disk drives and customer displays), which will maximize the life of the POS terminals and the return on our technology investment. We also like the sleek new design and small footprint of the PAR terminal, which complements the image of our newly remodeled stores.”
“During our 10 year relationship, PAR has consistently delivered highly durable and reliable POS hardware and responsive services,” said Jeff Chasney, Executive Vice President, Strategic Planning and Chief Information Officer, CKE Restaurant, Inc. “We have done extensive lab testing and certification of the new EverServ 7700 terminal including deployments at 4 pilot sites and the performance has been outstanding. We are confident that the innovative design of the EverServ 7700 will provide our franchisees the best combination of durability, performance, scalability and serviceability that will result in the lowest total cost of ownership.”

The totally redesigned PAR EverServ 7000 Series POS hardware is built with the same rugged durability PAR is known for and an innovative, sleek design that delivers the performance hospitality and retail operators demand. CKE selected the top of the line EverServ 7700 model with an Intel i5 processor and POSReady 7 operating system to deliver optimal performance today and extend the life span of the terminal by not limiting future applications. The EverServ 7700 was designed to be backward compatible with many previous models of printers and cash drawers, which will enable CKE to use its existing peripherals to reduce the total cost of ownership.
