COLUMBIA, Md., Aug. 17 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- MICROS Systems,
Inc. (Nasdaq: MCRS), a leading provider of information technology
solutions for the hospitality and retail industries, is pleased to
announce that Chase Field, home of the Arizona Diamondbacks, has
selected the MICROS 9700 Hospitality Management System (HMS) as its
point-of-sale platform to support all food and beverage operations
throughout the stadium. The solution contains 240 of the
newly released MICROS Keyboard Workstation 270's, the latest
innovation of POS terminals from MICROS, and 26 new Motorola MC-55
Handheld devices to facilitate In-Seat service in the club level.
As an added benefit for ticket holders, MICROS 9700 HMS
provides Chase Field the ability to accept loaded tickets as
payment at the food and beverage point-of-sale terminals, further
enhancing the fan experience and driving additional consumer
purchases.
Since their expansion in 1998, the Arizona Diamondbacks have
called Chase Field their home. MICROS's depth of solutions
and technical knowledge in the stadium and arena space, along with
its ability to reuse the existing hardware in the Premium Club
operations, offered Chase Field a full turn-key solution to address
all of its food and beverage point-of-sale needs.
Featuring a real-time loaded ticket interface with STADIS,
MICROS 9700 HMS allows the Arizona Diamondbacks' ticket holders to
pay for food and beverages using their ticket as a form of payment.
Value is loaded on the ticket and the ticket is then scanned
at the point-of-sale terminal to pay for the purchase. Unlike
competitive solutions, this interface provides complete sales
information real time with check and menu-level detail by guest,
including the location where the items were purchased.
"We selected MICROS for its superior software and hardware
product offerings as well as its ability to reuse our existing
hardware, while at the same time delivering a rich and robust POS
solution," stated Kenny Farrell,
Director, Ticket Development & Operations for the D-backs.
"The Integration between MICROS and STADIS allows our
operations to evaluate the buying patterns of our loyal fans in
real-time. MICROS has been a great technology partner."
"We are pleased to add the Arizona Diamondbacks and Chase Field
to our list of prestigious stadiums using MICROS 9700 HMS," stated
Dan Bell, Vice President, Leisure
& Entertainment Business Unit for MICROS Systems, Inc.
"Chase Field's decision to select MICROS is a testament to
the confidence they have in us and we look forward to a long and
expanding partnership."
