COLUMBIA, Md. -- MICROS Systems, Inc.
[NASDAQ: MCRS]
, a leading provider of information technology solutions for the hospitality industry, announces the release of its RES 3000 Version 1.0 Mobile MICROS Point-of-Sale (POS). As the Company's third-generation wireless handheld POS solution, Mobile MICROS has been specifically designed for the table service and quick service restaurant marketplace, utilizing the latest Windows(R) Pocket PC technology and innovative POS features to help restaurants improve service, increase operating efficiencies and boost revenues. MICROS will be debuting this product at the National Restaurant Association Show in Chicago, on May 18 - 21.
"The RES 3000 Mobile MICROS is the most effective and user friendly mobile wireless POS solution on the market today," stated Ed Rothenberg, Vice President of Restaurant Products for MICROS Systems. "This client application integrates many of the outstanding POS features of our RES 3000 PC Workstation into a robust handheld touchscreen unit, facilitating easy server training and use. By keeping servers out on the floor and immediately transmitting orders to the kitchen, restaurants can provide faster and more accurate service, upsell more products and specials, increase table turns, and expand service areas into harder-to-reach places such as patios, courtyards and decks.
Mobile MICROS can quickly realize a return on investment as well as make a marked improvement in guest service. It's a winning solution we are very proud of."
Mobile MICROS is powered by the Windows(R) Pocket PC platform from Microsoft(R) and utilizes industry standard wireless network protocols. This embedded software platform creates a user-friendly mobile interface. Mobile MICROS uses the Symbol Model 2846 handheld terminal from Symbol Technologies, available in color or monochrome displays and ruggedized specifically to endure the harsh environment of a restaurant. Mobile MICROS will also run on other POCKET PC hardware platforms such as the Compaq iPAQ.
Key benefits to using the Mobile MICROS POS solution include:
- Increased check averages. When servers spend more time on the floor in front of the guest and less time in front of a fixed workstation, they have increased opportunities to up-sell products and add additional service rounds to guest checks.
- Increased service speed. When orders are sent immediately to the kitchen, the typical 1-5 minute delay needed to write down orders and later enter them via a fixed terminal is eliminated, allowing restaurants to serve more guests during peak periods.
- Improved guest service. As servers have more time to service guests and stay on the floor, a restaurant can improve its reputation and increase patronage. With Mobile MICROS, restaurants can provide a higher level of service that differentiates it from competitors and keeps guests coming back.
- Expanded service areas. MICROS hand-held terminals can go anywhere to serve guests, from lobbies and common areas to courtyards and outdoor decks.
- Improved efficiency. By transmitting orders tableside, server errors are reduced and the number of servers needed per shift may be reduced as well. Managers and servers are overall more efficient, leading to an overall reduction of operating expenses.
