Introduced to the market in November 2000, the MICROS 9700 HMS was built as a native Microsoft(R) Windows(R) NT application to deliver maximum flexibility and scalability for high-volume operations with multiple revenue centers. The 9700 HMS uses touchscreen technology for all aspects of POS operations, making it the easiest system to learn, use and maintain in today's hospitality industry.
The new Mobile MICROS handheld (MMH) brings robust order capturing and payment functionality right to the guest at any location, from poolside bar to stadium luxury box, providing the ultimate in personal and efficient service.
The MMH is capable of printing to local or remote printers, has an integrated barcode scanner, and provides support for advanced interfaces through SIM.
The MMH can perform credit card transactions and read employee magnetic cards through the use of an add-on card reader. These features allow for the most integrated environments including PMS posting and lookups, gaming system interfaces, and allowing credit card and other payments.
Autofire is another significant new feature of the 9700 HMS version 1.50. Autofire allows hotel staff to pre-sell food and amenities up to 30 days in advance of the time they will actually be served and billed. The hotel and resort operators who have tested this product found many ways to use Autofire to bring value to their guests. Room service, for instance, can be pre-sold at check-in or while offering a wake-up call, and the order is automatically entered for timely preparation and delivery. This feature allows MICROS customers to elevate their services and increase incremental revenue while removing the complexities of paper order tracking.
"The release of this new version of our 9700 Hospitality Management System exemplifies MICROS's ongoing commitment to provide market centric features and functionality to the highly complex leisure and entertainment industry," stated Jenny Kurdle, Vice President of Leisure and Entertainment Business Development. "With the release of the Remote Management Console, MICROS delivered a tool that allowed for system configuration anywhere, on or off property. With the addition of the wireless Mobile MICROS, you can now have our POS anywhere, bringing you the most open and flexible POS solution today from a single solutions provider."
