Travel F&B Provider Standardizes Operations with Cloud-Based POS

Areas USA, a leading provider of food & beverage and retail services in the travel industry, has selected the MICROS Simphony Enterprise Solution as its standard SaaS, cloud-based point-of-sale system across its United States airport and turnpike operations. Areas USA will build its operational technology infrastructure for food and beverage utilizing MICROS Simphony, which provides the organization with a robust enterprise system, web-based reporting, and business intelligence functionalities with a high level of flexibility. MICROS’s Simphony also seamlessly interfaces to Areas USA’s Corporate Infrastructure systems.

 

Leveraging MICROS Simphony’s state-of-the-art technology and service oriented architecture (SOA), Areas USA can quickly deploy the system across its organization and streamline the integration of Simphony into its multi-brand airport and turnpike operations. Simphony is centralized, allowing for the entire system to be managed from one application. The solution is also being hosted in one of MICROS’s worldwide data centers, removing Areas USA’s onsite servers and the responsibility of managing the servers from its internal IT department.

 

MICROS and Areas USA have been partners for years, with the MICROS 9700 Hospitality Management System (HMS) installed at many locations. The sites with the MICROS 9700 HMS will be converted to the MICROS Simphony platform in conjunction with the implementation of Simphony at all new sites under the management of Areas USA. MICROS Simphony and MICROS 9700 HMS have a similar look and feel, providing the sites converting to the new solution reduced training time as well as an improved user interface.
