solutions for the hospitality and retail industries, is pleased to
announce that Catalina Restaurant Group, operators of Coco's and
Carrow's, has opened its newest restaurant concept, Ranch House
Café and Grill, California's
newest restaurant sensation with MICROS's next generation
technology. With future growth in mind, the company has selected
MICROS Simphony, which provides cloud-based enterprise tools
to manage its menus, as well as create and choose a complete set of
reporting, auditing, and analysis tools designed to deliver the
information it needs to run its business. MICROS Simphony's

graphical software application displays food orders for preparation
and monitors the timing of orders, increasing overall speed of
service.
