Orange County, CA (Feb. 13, 2006)— The MenuLink .NET back office solution has been recently named as a Microsoft Retail Application Developer (RAD) award finalist in the “In-Store Systems”
category for the Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) region. MenuLink products are currently used in more than 8,000 food service sites.
“We’re excited to be named a finalist in this prestigious competition,” said Ron Whitaker, MenuLink founder and vice president, in the Radiant Hospitality Division. “We’re also very proud of the .NET
solution because it’s proven to make the restaurant operator’s life easier with constant visibility into operational information.” Restaurant operators can increase profitability by controlling labor and
material costs through real-time information available via a Web browser. The MenuLink .NET product is an intuitive, multilingual and centralized Internet-based back office application that operates even when an Internet connection is unavailable.
