MICROS Signs VAR Agreement With AMF, World's Largest Bowling Company
5 February 2001

COLUMBIA, Md., Feb. 6 / MICROS Systems, Inc. [NASDAQ: MCRS] , a leading provider of information technology solutions for the hospitality industry, has signed a Value-Added Reseller (VAR) agreement with AMF Bowling, Inc., the largest bowling company in the world.

Under the terms of this agreement, AMF has purchased the MICROS 3700 POS software, MICROS PC Workstations, and installation and support services. In addition, AMF has become a Value-Added Reseller of MICROS point-of-sale software systems. AMF has now fully integrated the MICROS 3700 Point-Of-Sale (POS) system into its BOSS Management System, which allows bowling centers to generate accurate revenue information on a daily basis. Many of today's state-of-the-art bowling centers include multiple revenue centers such as food and beverage concessions, pro shops and arcade games, requiring more sophisticated system capabilities and integration.

"We are very excited about the centralized management and reporting capabilities we can now offer our customers with the MICROS software as part of our BOSS Management System," stated Ed Steiner, Senior Product Manager at AMF Bowling. "We field tested the integrated system in eight centers around the US and the UK for a full year, so we are confident of its power and reliability. The MICROS 3700 POS best matched our needs, so we worked together with MICROS to integrate their product with ours, with excellent results."

"As the hospitality industry's leader in information technology, we are proud to team with AMF, the bowling industry leader, to help them achieve their strategic and operational goals," stated Alan Hayman, Senior Vice President of Restaurant Sales & Strategies of MICROS Systems. "Our 3700 POS system is in place in approximately 9000 food service operations that serve the public, providing quick and easy sales processing, as well as comprehensive reporting and centralized management. We are looking forward to providing solutions and support for AMF and its customers."
