Utah-based Mexican grill restaurant chain to implement Aloha Enterprise solution
ATLANTA--(Business Wire)--
Radiant Systems, Inc. (Nasdaq: RADS) today announced that Cafe Rio Mexican Grill
has selected the company as the exclusive technology provider for more than 50
corporate locations to replace all pre-existing point-of-sale and back office
technology with the Aloha Enterprise solution. 

"First and foremost, we were looking for an end-to-end technology solution from
one single provider to support our expansion plans," said Bob Baker, CFO of Cafe
Rio. "While we expect to see an array of benefits to our business, we are
particularly eager about the implementation of the Aloha Takeout application
which will help us improve execution of our to-go business for our guests and
maximize operational efficiency during our peak hours." 

Cafe Rio will deploy Aloha POS and back office software applications on Radiant
P1220 hardware terminals with the goal of improving operations, labor and
inventory reporting and marketing capabilities. Cafe Rio expects to achieve
operational improvements through Aloha Quick Service POS, Kitchen Display System
and Aloha Takeout, one of the newest applications that helps streamline
curb-side and take-away operations. The back-of-house solution includes MenuLink
Labor and MenuLink Inventory which will help to better manage and control costs.
Finally, with the addition of Aloha Stored Value, a gift card application, and
Aloha Loyalty, a frequent customer program, the fast-growing Mexican chain hopes
to drive incremental traffic and stimulate repeat business. 

"We are thrilled to be chosen as the exclusive technology provider for Cafe Rio
Mexican Grill," said Paul Langenbahn, hospitality division president at Radiant
Systems. "It`s evident that customers like Cafe Rio see the significant and
compelling business advantages of implementing one complete end-to-end solution
throughout their restaurants."
