MICROS Highlights Benefits of MICROS RES at FS/TEC 2009
COLUMBIA, MD, February 4, 2009 - MICROS Systems, Inc., and leading provider of information technology solutions for the hospitality and retail industries will be highlighting the added benefits of MICROS RES with its fully integrated Digital Menu Board and Table Management features.
Typically sold as additional modules or as interfaced products from a third-party vendor, MICROS includes these two innovative, highly sought-after solutions, as embedded features within the current version of MICROS RES. For very minimal hardware costs, these solutions can be integrated into a restaurant very easily. MICROS will highlight these two technology solutions during FS/TEC 2009, being held February 4 -7, in Orlando, Florida.
One of the latest tools to emerge in the quick-service market is the digital menu board. This novel technology displays menus while simultaneously drawing customers' attention to other information, like current store promotions. While the restaurant market becomes increasingly aware of the benefits of digital versus traditional menu boards, restaurant owners seek a solid solution that will improve operations and boost the customer experience.
Another innovative solution to hit the industry is Table Management software. MICROS RES Table Management is simple, easy-to-use software that seamlessly integrates customer preferences, seating capacity, and available staff, while effortlessly managing the customer's dining experience. When combined with GSS or iCare, a total restaurant solution is now at your fingertips. Capturing time-sensitive guest demands, RES Table Management puts you in complete control from the moment the guest is greeted until the next diner is seated.
"Both of these solutions are normally offered as separate systems to the restaurant and more often then not, they are solutions offered from a vendor other then the POS provider," stated Tom Moran, Vice President of Restaurant Sales & Strategies. "By offering these solutions, fully embedded in MICROS RES, MICROS offers its clients the benefit of fully integrated operations and reporting, and eliminates the added expense and headaches associated with multi-vendor solutions."
"MICROS is focused on continually increasing the value of its point-of-sale software solutions without increasing the end price to our customers," added Mr. Moran. "By including new features such as Digital Menu Boards and Table Management, MICROS continues to strengthen the scalability of its products and increase its customers' return on investment. Relevant technology for restaurant operations continues to emerge, and MICROS is committed to bringing that value to its customers. We encourage our customers and other restaurateurs to come by our booth at FS/TEC and see just how easy and inexpensive it is to implement these solutions."
