This advanced enterprise solution includes 3700 POS, Inventory, Financial Management, Corporate Enterprise Management and Data Warehousing applications.
"Whitbread is making a significant paradigm shift in choosing this enterprise solution for Brewers Fayre," said Paul Armstrong, Executive Vice President of Restaurant Sales and Strategies for MICROS.

According to Pam Bingley, IT Projects Director for Whitbread's Pub, Bars, and Restaurants, "Brewers Fayre is the leading chain of family pub restaurants in the UK, and we have been seeking advanced technology to meet our requirements for improved processes and information - both within the restaurants and the central functions. This will allow our house managers to make better and faster business decisions, which in turn will deliver hard financial benefit. After researching several options available to us, we determined that the MICROS Restaurant Enterprise Series matched our needs for a set of flexible, integrated management tools in the restaurant and centralized management of price and product data."
