NCR Voyix has announced a platform agreement with Pizza Ranch, a restaurant chain in the United States. Under the agreement, NCR Voyix will serve as Pizza Ranch’s exclusive PoS technology partner across corporate owned restaurants and franchisee locations.

Pizza Ranch will deploy Aloha Next, NCR Voyix’s restaurant platform built on a microservices architecture, with the aim of creating a unified foundation for PoS, payments and in-store capabilities.

"We look forward to rolling out NCR Voyix's Aloha Next PoS across Pizza Ranch starting in 2027. After seeing Aloha Next's capabilities firsthand, we're confident it will streamline operations for our franchisees and our Franchisee Support Center team alike. The platform gives us the speed to innovate faster, reduce friction across the guest and back of house experience, and stay focused on delivering the legendary hospitality Pizza Ranch is known for," says Jon Moss, Senior Vice President and Chief Brand Officer at Pizza Ranch.

“With Aloha Next, we’ve brought decades of proven restaurant technology to a modern, microservices architecture powered by AI,” says Benny Tadele, Executive Vice President and President of Restaurants at NCR Voyix. “We’re proud to partner with Pizza Ranch as they modernise their technology and accelerate new possibilities for their teams and their guests.”

2026 RTIH Innovation Awards

Unified commerce will be a key focus area at the 2026 RTIH Innovation Awards.

The awards are now open for entries and celebrate global retail technology innovation in a fast moving omnichannel world.

Our winners will be revealed at the 2026 RTIH Innovation Awards Ceremony, taking place at The HAC in Central London on Wednesday, 4th November.

Check out our 2025 winners here.

Our 2025 hall of fame entrants were revealed during a sold out event which took place at The HAC on 16th October and consisted of a drinks reception, three course meal, and awards ceremony presided over by award winning comedian, actress and writer Tiff Stevenson.

In his welcome speech, Scott Thompson, Founder and Editor, RTIH, said: “This is the awards’ fifth year as a physical event. We started off with just 30 people at the South Place Hotel not far from here, then moved to London Bridge Hotel, then The Barbican, and last year RIBA’s HQ in the West End.”

“But I’m conscious of the fact that, to quote the legend that is Taylor Swift, You’re only as hot as your last hit, baby. So, this year we’ve moved to our biggest venue yet, and also pulled in our largest number of entries to date and broken attendance records.”

He added: “This year’s submissions have without doubt been our best yet. To quote one of the judges: The examples of innovative developments across both traditional and digital retail spaces were truly remarkable.”

Congratulations to our winners, and a big thank you to our sponsors, judging panel, the legend that is Tiff Stevenson, and all those who attended our 2025 gathering.
