Challenges

McDonald's wanted to enhance the dining experience through digital transformation. This included being able to capture customer data, advertise and promote current campaigns and encouraging visitors to download and engage with the brand's App. Additionally, they had several issues with the existing solution including poor connections that dropped off the networks

Solution

The infrastructure, equipped with Purple’s WiFi analytics solution, gives diners access to a fast and secure WiFi connection whilst also allowing McDonald’s to collect key demographic and behavioral data – ultimately transforming the network into a revenue generation tool for the McDonald’s brand.

When accessing the network, customers have the option to login via ‘OneClick’, or Facebook. They are then redirected to a language specific online splash page using Purple’s automated marketing tool, LogicFlow. McDonald’s Belgium has also used Purple’s custom splash pages to advertise a number of promotions and encourage app downloads.
