The Rebel Bar Group Selects MICROS to Maximize Profitability Across 12 Sites in Ireland

PR Newswire (US)
LONDON, Aug. 30 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- MICROS-Fidelio UK Ltd, a
wholly- owned subsidiary of MICROS Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ:MCRS) and
a leading provider of information technology solutions for the
hospitality industry, has partnered with The Rebel Bar Group, to
implement the MICROS Restaurant Enterprise Series (RES 3000), which
includes MICROS 3700 Point-of-Sale (POS), Enterprise Management,
mymicros.net and myinventory, in a project that will see the
Cork-based bar group streamline its Irish operations. The MICROS
RES 3000 solution will replace the bar group's legacy, dependent
till systems and will give the operator control over site-level
databases for both Electronic Point of Sale (EPOS) and back office
applications. By implementing this in conjunction with MICROS's
mymicros.net, a content-rich internet portal designed for the
hospitality industry, The Rebel Bar Group can access real-time
business critical data from a Web browser -- any time and anywhere.
Also included in the overall solution is the myinventory
application which enables the group to manage inventories across
multiple locations, and is integrated within the browser-based
mymicros.net portal. The system will improve the quality of
business intelligence provided to The Rebel Bar Group's management
team, allowing it to make more informed decisions and assist when
planning its overall strategy. Previously installed systems were
not integrated and therefore did not allow a one-stop 360-degree
view of the business. One of the deciding factors for the group
when selecting MICROS was that the solution could be used over the
Internet via a secured connection. "We evaluated several offerings
from various vendors before selecting the MICROS solution," stated
Ken Healy, Director, The Rebel Bar Group. "MICROS's ability to
provide us with a completely integrated solution, and the fact that
MICROS's capabilities are proven within the international
hospitality industry, were key factors in our decision." RES 3000
allows The Rebel Bar Group to control every element of its business
at the touch of a button, making the establishment more productive
overall. By managing orders, prices, menu items and staff all in
one application, the group can increase the effectiveness of
seasonal or promotional changes. The Rebel Bar Group will run the
MICROS solution on the MICROS Workstation 4; a sleek and stylish
piece of hardware, that is rugged enough to withstand the most
demanding bar challenges, like spilled drinks, heat, and a steady
stream of operator activity; its bright liquid crystal display and
responsive touch screen make it easier to use in all conditions.
The mymicros.net portal allows restaurant and bar managers to
create a "myPage" personalized dashboard for their operations:
real-time reports on the business metrics of their choosing,
continually available from the data warehouse via a secured
Internet connection. This capability allows management to monitor
sales, promotions, and labor and make changes to the restaurant's
products and prices from a web browser anywhere, at any time. "We
are delighted to be partnering with The Rebel Bar Group in
Ireland," stated Managing Director of MICROS-Fidelio UK Ltd, Frank
Ward. "By implementing a completely integrated solution such as RES
3000, with Enterprise Management, mymicros.net and myinventory, The
Rebel Bar Group will open up new business possibilities and improve
overall customer service levels within all of its bars." About The
Rebel Bar Group The Rebel Bar Group, http://www.rebelbargroup.com/,
is Ireland's most exciting and innovative bar group currently
consisting of 15 establishments. The Rebel Bar Group divides its

Rebel Bar Group has recently announced its decision to purchase
Cork's two largest Off-Licences with the third to come at the start
of 2007. These new outlets and the Rebel Bar Group's other
Off-Licences will be traded under the "Carry Out" franchise. These
purchases give the Rebel Bar Group the leading edge in developing
one of Ireland's strongest Off-Trade brands. With the market trend
in Ireland moving more towards off sales than on sales we believe
that these purchases will ensure the continued growth of the Rebel
Bar Group in a difficult business environment. By the end of the
2007 financial year the Rebel Bar Group will be Ireland's leading
Bar/Club/Off-Licence group. About MICROS-Fidelio UK Ltd
