BOCA RATON, FL, Jul 23, 2010 – Universal Delivery Solutions Inc., a Division of Delivery Technology Solutions, Inc. (PINKSHEETS: DTSL), the leader in delivery management technology, has announced an executed National Vendor Agreement with Doctor’s Associates, Inc. (DAI) the franchisor of SUBWAY(R) Restaurants. The agreement authorizes the introduction of 888-SUB-TO-GO Catering & Delivery services as an optional program for the company. It also allows UDS to explore national catering opportunities amongst large corporations and organizations for consideration by DAI.
Ryan F. Coblin, UDS CEO, said in the announcement, “This new agreement greatly expands our relationship with DAI to a national presence, fulfills years of work by our organization and is a tremendous milestone for our company.” Mr. Coblin continued, “On this basis we are able to leverage our proprietary technology solutions in high volume order processing, that can amount to thousands of local market orders each day.”
The National Vendor Agreement calls for UDS to provide three levels of 888-SUB-TO-GO Program participation to accommodate the different needs of individual markets and restaurants. Service levels are determined by minimum order sizes, hours of catering/delivery operations and marketing support. UDS is obligated to provide a dedicated Call Center and Website Ordering (www.888subtogo.com) to serve participating restaurants nationwide, and customer service and technical support.
Additionally, as previously announced, the National Catering & Event Management services agreement between UDS and Doctor’s Associates, Inc. enables UDS to offer its corporate catering technology on a private brand basis to all corporate clients, including large organizations and institutions. This technology platform allows clients to easily order and manage catering events at multiple venues serving thousands of meals, and prepare reports detailing every event, from their desktop or laptop.
“By the end of 2010 we expect to have registered up to 1,500 participating restaurants in the national programs,” Mr. Coblin said, “so that our corporate clients will have a convenient catering experience regardless of how many meals they need to serve, or how many places where they want them served.”
