LONDON, June 19, 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 Rex Restaurant Associates ("RexRA")
selected the MICROS Restaurant Enterprise Solution (RES) for its
latest two ventures to open in Central
London, The Delaunay and Brasserie Zedel which is scheduled
to open in June 2012.
The Delaunay, an all-day cafe-restaurant inspired by the grand
cafes of Europe, is located on the
corner of historic Drury Lane and
The Aldwych. It is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner seven
days a week, and also serves morning and afternoon tea, with a
take-out option also on offer. Brasserie Zedel is a large,
bustling Parisian brasserie transported to the heart of
London. Open throughout the day, offering great value with
remarkably low prices, its glorious, historic Art Deco interiors
also play host to a 'Bar Americain' and 'The Crazy Coqs', a live
music and cabaret venue. Owning company, Rex Restaurant
Associates (RexRA) was established by Chris
Corbin and Jeremy King, the
respected restaurateurs behind The Wolseley and previous owners of
Le Caprice, J Sheekey and The
Ivy.
MICROS was selected as the technology partner to support the new
ventures. The MICROS RES solution, together with the latest MICROS
workstations and handheld terminals, allows staff in both
restaurants to provide smooth, high quality service to customers
even at the busiest times of day. They are also taking
advantage of MICROS's integrated Chip & PIN capabilities, which
provide fast, secure payment processing as well as powerful
reporting capability within mymicros.net to help monitor
performance.
Commented Alex Pitchford, Project
Manager at RexRA, "Having MICROS as our technology partner provides
us that extra level of confidence that every customer, whether
enjoying a leisurely afternoon tea or grabbing some lunch, will
experience exceptional quality of service."
"We are very pleased to be working with Rex Restaurant
Associates," said Matthew Parker,
Director of Sales at MICROS-Fidelio UK. "The team at RexRA has an
impressive track record of hugely successful restaurants and we are
extremely proud to have been selected for its latest ventures."
About Rex Restaurant Associates
Rex Restaurant Associates was set up by Chris Corbin and Jeremy
King in 2003, when they introduced the highly popular
all-day dining European Grand Cafe concept to London with The Wolseley restaurant on
Piccadilly, achieving one of the highest turnovers of any
individual restaurant in the UK. In December 2011, The Delaunay, a Grand Cafe with a
mittel-European slant, opened on the corner of Aldwych and
Drury Lane to high critical acclaim.
It has been the most successful of Corbin and King's openings to
date in terms of revenue. Brasserie Zedel is due to open at
the end of June 2012, just off
Piccadilly Circus, and Colbert will open on Sloane Square in early
autumn 2012. In 2006 they opened St Alban on Regent Street, selling
the lease in 2009. That same year, they were involved in the
opening of New York's Monkey
Bar. Prior to launching Rex Restaurant Associates, Corbin and
King owned and managed some of London's most famous restaurants, including
Le Caprice (1981), The Ivy (1990)
and J Sheekey (1997), under the umbrella of Caprice Holdings, which
they sold in 1998, staying on as directors until 2002.
