COLUMBIA, Md., June 11, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- MICROS
Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: MCRS), a leading provider of information
technology solutions for the hospitality and retail industries, is
pleased to announce that the Village of Bridgeview, the owner and
management company of Toyota Park, has selected a fully integrated
MICROS point-of-sale solution for the stadium, home to the Chicago
Fire Soccer Club. Toyota Park is a Chicago-based stadium which hosts a wide array
of sporting and entertainment events for the area. The
solution includes MICROS 9700 Hospitality Management System (HMS)
with 92 Keyboard Workstation 270 (KW270) POS terminals for
concession operations, 5 Workstation 5A (WS5A) touchscreen
terminals for premium operations, and the MICROS Perpetual
Inventory and Event Management Solution for increased control of
operations.
With high maintenance and support costs for Toyota Park's legacy
POS solution, the Village of
Bridgeview selected MICROS technology to help streamline
operations, reduce the cost of overall system support, increase the
bottom line, and improve the fan experience. The MICROS
solution provides Toyota Park with a more reliable technology
solution with hardware that uses standard TCP/IP Ethernet Topology,
reduced overall maintenance costs, and expedited service with
a local MICROS service and support team. Fans will also
benefit from the new MICROS solution at Toyota Park with increased
speed-of-service at the venue and a future offering of stored-value
ticketing and other loyalty solutions.
"We selected MICROS's solution as we found it to be the most
advanced and user-friendly technology in the marketplace," declared
Jonathan Butkas, Information
Technology Manager, Village of Bridgeview. "MICROS is a
strong partner we can trust to support us in the long-term with any
of our future initiatives. Having local service and support
is a huge benefit for us as we know that all of our needs will be
addressed effectively and in a timely manner."

technology solutions that will improve its operations and the fan
experience. MICROS's solutions are very flexible and scalable
and will easily expand with both the Village of Bridgeview and Toyota Park well
