Columbia,
MD – March 2014 / Newsmaker Alert / MICROS
Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: MCRS), a leading provider of information
technology solutions for the hospitality and retail industries, is
pleased to announce that Salsarita’s Fresh Cantina, a Mexican fast casual
concept, has selected MICROS Simphony Enterprise Solution for all corporate
locations. In conjunction with Simphony Point-of-Sale (POS), Salsarita’s
is deploying MICROS Simphony’s Reporting, Labor, Inventory, Loyalty, and
Online Ordering modules. The solution is hosted in the MICROS Data Center.
After
a year-long evaluation process, Salsarita’s selected MICROS Simphony due
to its cloud platform. With a single centralized database, Salsarita’s
will benefit from standardization across all locations, as well as enterprise
management of the database and a single-source solution for loyalty, gift,
customer relationship management, inventory management, online ordering,
and labor management. With these MICROS solutions, Salsarita’s can focus
on guest relationships and satisfaction, instead of managing a POS system.
Simphony
is built upon a web services architecture that enables easy system growth
and deployment. It offers a highly scalable and flexible configuration
that is capable of operating in a single site or an enterprise of thousands
of sites, and easily interfaces to third-party peripheral equipment and
software. With a complete set of reporting, auditing, and analytics tools,
Simphony is designed to deliver the information necessary to efficiently
operate a business in real time.
“We
have a very aggressive growth strategy in place for the next three to five
years, and we feel very strongly that MICROS Simphony is the next generation
solution that can support our rapid expansion,” stated Phil Friedman, CEO
of Salsarita’s. “Maintaining a centralized enterprise solution, comprising
point of sale, loyalty, inventory, online ordering, and labor management,
will allow our restaurants and franchisees to focus on providing a great
dining experience instead of the day-to-day operational requirements.”
“MICROS
Simphony’s superior service-oriented architecture (SOA), scalability, resiliency,
and streamlined integration are critical to foster Salsarita’s aggressive
growth strategy,” stated Ed Chapel, Executive Vice President, US &
Canada - Food & Beverage for MICROS Systems, Inc. “Simphony provides
Salsarita’s a centralized, enterprise system with standardized reporting
and advanced management controls to increase operational efficiencies.
Deploying Simphony in an enterprise model also reduces Salsarita’s total
cost of ownership by eliminating the need for back-office computers, on-site
software maintenance and technical support required by legacy on-premise
POS systems.”
