Fast-growing premium cookie retailer uses digital signage for customer and employee communications

GERMANTOWN, Md., Nov. 17, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Dirty Dough, a mission-based franchise known for decadent, multilayered cookies, has selected Hughes Network Systems, LLC (HUGHES), to deploy digital menu boards, promotional screens, and employee communication screens in its expanding business. Dirty Dough will employ Hughes managed digital signage solutions to display and promote its rotating selection of cookie flavors and to guide employees in consistently making and decorating its signature gooey, super-stuffed cookies. Enhancing the in-store experience, the Hughes system will also display curated customer comments from online reviews and integrate with Dirty Dough's point-of-sale system for more efficient operations.

"The Hughes managed digital signage solution will help us deliver a consistent brand and product experience across locations as we continue to expand," said Wade Rasmussen, vice president of operations for Dirty Dough.
