Columbia,
MD – May 2014 / Newsmaker Alert / MICROS
Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: MCRS), a leading provider of information
technology solutions for the hospitality and retail industries, is
debuting its new MICROS mTablet E-Series and the new MICROS Engagement
feature at the National Restaurant Association (NRA) Show taking place
in Chicago, May 17-20, 2014. These newest MICROS innovations allow staff
members to perform multiple activities from one device, including making
guest interactions extraordinary, while providing advanced capabilities
that will significantly raise the bar on what a modern point of sale system
should be.
The
MICROS mTablet E-Series allows hospitality and retail staff to elevate
guest engagement. The mTablet E-Series,
which is available in an eight-inch and eleven-inch size, offers an extended
battery life, and operates on Microsoft Windows 8.1 Embedded Industry Pro.
The eight-inch handheld tablet is perfect for on-the-go staff, while the
eleven-inch version is also fully compatible with the MICROS mStation base
providing staff the flexibility to be mobile or use it as a workstation
option with full peripheral connectivity. Optional sleeves for either mTablet
size facilitate secure payment on the device.
The
MICROS Engagement feature brings a highly animated and interactive element
to the MICROS mTablet E-Series when running MICROS Simphony in a food and
beverage establishment. The MICROS Engagement feature offers a fluid, beautiful
touch experience with an ultra-modern look and feel with interactive live
tiles that can display and promote numerous content including specials
of the day and upcoming events, connection to the loyalty program, external
content feeds for guest entertainment, and the ability to take orders.
It is also very configurable and highly customizable for preference and
can access actionable data, analytics and tools for management staff.
“We
are very excited to introduce our new MICROS Engagement Feature and MICROS
mTablet E-Series at this year’s NRA Show,” stated Russell Butler, Senior
Vice President of Global Research & Development at MICROS Systems.
“Mobility continues to be a consistent theme for technology in hospitality
and retail. In Food & Beverage, it is not enough to be able to just
take an order on a device at a table. The guests want to be able to interact
with the technology as well. Providing an exceptional guest experience
goes beyond the quality of food and service, it includes the entire guest
interaction.”
