MICROS Installations Keep Pace With Atlanta Bread Company's Rapid National Franchise Expansion
20 June 2002

COLUMBIA, Md., MICROS Systems, Inc. [NASDAQ: MCRS] , a leading provider of information technology solutions for the hospitality industry, is playing a key role in the successful national expansion of the Atlanta Bread Company, one of the fastest-growing franchise concepts in North America with more than 150 locations and dozens more planned this year. MICROS has been installing an average of five large systems per month for Atlanta Bread, which include the MICROS 3700 QSR software, MICROS Help Desk, hardware, and hardware support services. There are approximately 60 MICROS systems currently installed.

At each Atlanta Bread Company location, MICROS is installing six MICROS Eclipse workstations, printers, MICROS Kitchen Display Systems, and a PC. The 3700 QSR system is engineered specifically for the quick service restaurant environment, with dynamic screen flow, offering automatic and flexible menu item combinations. Its advanced touchscreen technology is easy to use and easy to learn. Screen layouts can be customized for all areas of restaurant operations, and flexible manager screens provide a complete overview of front- of-the-house activity and management functions.

Peter Tiemori, Vice President of Operations for Atlanta Bread, stated, "Quality and innovation have always been at the core of our business, and we have sought the same high standards from our vendors. MICROS has compiled an excellent team of focused and dedicated professionals to service our corporate and franchisee restaurants. MICROS's mix of support service, product innovations, and reliability has allowed us to focus on our ambitious expansion plans. This gives our franchisees assurance that they will have the ongoing support they need as they open and manage their new locations."

"MICROS has a long history of serving the very diverse restaurant industry, providing the most innovative products tailored to each market segment, from quick-service and table service restaurants to fine dining, stadium concessions and cruise ship dining," explained Alan Hayman, Executive Vice President-Major Accounts for MICROS. "Our 3700 QSR POS application provides just the right functionality for Atlanta Bread Company's quick-casual concept, and our hardware products offer robust capabilities at a favorable price point. We look forward to providing this dynamic package of solutions to more Atlanta Bread franchises across North America."
