COLUMBIA, Md., May 16, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- MICROS Systems,
Inc. (NASDAQ: MCRS), a leading provider of information technology
solutions for the hospitality and retail industries, is debuting
its new MICROS mTablet E-Series and the new MICROS Engagement
feature at the National Restaurant Association (NRA) Show taking
place in Chicago, May 17-20, 2014. These newest MICROS innovations
allow staff members to perform multiple activities from one device,
including making guest interactions extraordinary, while providing
advanced capabilities that will significantly raise the bar on what
a modern point of sale system should be.
The MICROS mTablet E-Series allows hospitality and retail staff
to elevate guest engagement. The mTablet E-Series,
which is available in an eight-inch and eleven-inch size, offers an
extended battery life, and operates on Microsoft Windows 8.1
Embedded Industry Pro. The eight-inch handheld tablet is perfect
for on-the-go staff, while the eleven-inch version is also fully
compatible with the MICROS mStation base providing staff the
flexibility to be mobile or use it as a workstation option with
full peripheral connectivity. Optional sleeves for either mTablet
size facilitate secure payment on the device.
The MICROS Engagement feature brings a highly animated and
interactive element to the MICROS mTablet E-Series when running
MICROS Simphony in a food and beverage establishment. The
MICROS Engagement feature offers a fluid, beautiful touch
experience with an ultra-modern look and feel with interactive live
tiles that can display and promote numerous content including
specials of the day and upcoming events, connection to the loyalty
program, external content feeds for guest entertainment, and the
ability to take orders. It is also very configurable and highly
customizable for preference and can access actionable data,
analytics and tools for management staff.
"We are very excited to introduce our new MICROS Engagement
Feature and MICROS mTablet E-Series at this year's NRA Show,"
stated Russell Butler, Senior Vice
President of Global Research & Development at MICROS Systems.
"Mobility continues to be a consistent theme for technology in
hospitality and retail. In Food & Beverage, it is not
enough to be able to just take an order on a device at a
table. The guests want to be able to interact with the
technology as well. Providing an exceptional guest experience
goes beyond the quality of food and service, it includes the entire
guest interaction."
