regional directors to finance staff, wanted their own HP
Mobile Thin Clients. The solution grew to spread cost-
efficiency, security and productivity enhancements
throughout “Noodleville.”
“Once we put this product through the field operations
test, it was quickly clear that it would work for us. It
has a 1 GB solid-state drive, plenty of space. We have
the interoperability we need with our wireless air
cards, which give us very fast network connections. In
general these devices have worked out flawlessly.”
Jeff Malm, Enterprise Manager, Noodles & Company 
“The HP Mobile Thin Client platform for us has been a
real home run,” says Jeff Malm, Noodles Enterprise
Manager. “Our operations executives love the fact that
our field personnel can spend more time out at the
restaurants. It leads to more efficiency, better decisions
and long-term growth.”    
Directive from HQ: mobile tools for area managers  
Each Noodles area manager oversees between seven
to 10 restaurants. Before the company adopted its HP
Mobile Thin Client solution, the managers would get
up early every morning, and before heading out to
visit the restaurants sit at their home desktop PCs to
catch up on a deluge of emails and administrative
tasks. Corporate executives wanted the managers to
spend more time in the field. They asked Noodles
technical staff to outfit the area managers with laptop
PCs. Malm and his team had a different idea. “That’s
when IT said, ‘Wait a minute!’ Mobile thin client
hardware would cost significantly less, be more secure
if a device was lost or stolen, and work well with our
Citrix infrastructure,” Malm recalls. 
Noodles uses a Citrix Access gateway infrastructure to
provide employee access to work tools such as the
Microsoft® Office suite and a range of restaurant
management applications provided by eRestaurant
Services enterprise software for food services. It uses
HP ProLiant Server Blades and VMware software in HP
BladeSystem c-Class Enclosures. The company also
uses HP Printers with their HP Compaq 6720t Mobile
Thin Client.
Having been satisfied for years with HP solutions,
Noodles ran a proof of concept test with the HP
Compaq 6720t Mobile Thin Client. “The rest is
history,” Malm says. “Once we put this product
through the field operations test, it was quickly clear
that it would work for us. It has a 1 GB solid-state
drive, plenty of space. We have the interoperability we
need with our wireless air cards, which give us very
fast network connections. In general these devices
have worked out flawlessly.” 
“Given our Citrix deployment and the number of field
workers on Citrix, HP Mobile Thin Clients made sense
from a cost perspective.”
Jeff Malm, Enterprise Manager, Noodles & Company
A lower-cost, secure, scalable solution 
Noodles equipped each of its 24 area managers with
the device. Now the area managers can sit down with
their individual restaurant managers, boot up their HP
“We have had overwhelmingly good
feedback from out in the field with this
solution. In fact, once our regional directors
saw how their area manager teams could
work more efficiently, they moved to HP
Mobile Thin Clients.”
