Port of Subs Arrives in Minnesota, Powered by WAND Digital

It's a landmark moment for sandwich lovers in the Twin Cities! The team here at Wand Digital is thrilled to celebrate the grand opening of the very first Port of Subs location in Woodbury, Minnesota. This exciting expansion is spearheaded by a new regional developer franchisee Pat Mancuso of Mancuso Consulting Group, marking the beginning of a promising new chapter for the brand in the state.

The opening, which took place in April, not only brought Port of Subs' signature fresh-sliced sandwiches to a new market, but it also showcased a commitment to modern, efficient customer service.

A Unique Dual Menu Approach for Maximum Efficiency

For this flagship Minnesota location, Pat and his team chose a forward-thinking operational strategy: a dual service line and digital menu set up. This unique approach allows for two separate customer lines, significantly enhancing service speed and efficiency during peak hours. Rather than a single queue, guests can now enjoy a streamlined ordering experience, getting their fresh-sliced subs faster. WAND Digital was proud to provide the technology to power this innovative setup.

The Right Partner for a New Market

For a new regional developer opening the first location in an entirely new state, choosing the right technology partner was a critical decision. Port of Subs selected WAND Digital for several key reasons:

• • A Proven Track Record: Our history of successful partnerships with other scaling brands across the QSR space provided the confidence and credibility needed for this important launch.
  • Seamless POS Integration: A major differentiator was Wand’s direct POS integration with PAR POS. This crucial connection automates key operational tasks, like instant price changes and menu updates, ensuring accuracy and saving valuable staff time. This eliminates manual work and allows the team to focus on serving customers.
  • A turnkey solution was important to Port of Subs as they plan to open hundreds of new locations over the next 5-10 years. Wand Digital can provide end to end project management services, installation services, and ongoing content services for franchisees while they focus on developing.

The partnership with WAND Digital ensures that the technology behind the counter is as fresh as the ingredients on the sandwiches. We extend our sincere congratulations to Pat Mancuso and the entire Port of Subs team on this opening. We are honored to be a part of this initial launch and look forward to supporting their future growth as they continue to expand their footprint throughout Minnesota.
