The MICROS Eclipse PC Workstation is an easy-to-use touchscreen terminal built around the Intel Celeron and Pentium III processors. It supports Microsoft's most popular operating systems, and utilizes industry-standard connectivity options such as 10/100 Ethernet, USB, and PCMCIA. With 2 cash drawer ports, 2 customer displays, 6 serial ports, a parallel port, 2 USB ports, keyboard and mouse ports, and a PCMCIA slot, the Eclipse Workstation offers great flexibility to connect most any peripheral device. The Eclipse is also backward compatible with all of MICROS's POS peripheral devices, allowing current customers to use existing printers, pole displays and cash drawers.
"As Subway's approved provider for POS platform hardware, we have worked closely with Rottinghaus Co. to upgrade many of their locations to the innovative Eclipse PC Workstation," said Alan Hayman, MICROS Executive Vice President of Restaurant Sales and Strategies. "MICROS has shipped almost 15,000 workstations to Subway(R) restaurants around the world since 1998 and we look forward to continuing to providing service-oriented solutions that will enhance Subway franchisees' performance and growth."
"With 136 Subway franchise locations in Kansas, Missouri, Oklahoma, Minnesota, and Wisconsin, it's important for our company to have a strong technology strategy and partnership," explained Eric Nissen, Vice President of Company Wide Operations and Senior Regional Manager for Rottinghaus Co. "MICROS has consistently provided excellent products and responsive customer service at both corporate and store levels. We will continue to incorporate the Eclipse Workstation in our planning as we look toward opening new locations later this year and beyond."
