`Food.com and Ameranth Technology Announce Partnership to
`Develop Link From Food.com site With Ameranth's 21st Century
`Restaurant System
`Partnership Expected to Extend Transmission of Internet Takeout and Delivery
`
`Orders to Restaurant Kitchens and to Point of Sale Systems;
`
`Online Reservations and Wait-Listing Also Planned
`
`SAN FRANCISCO and SAN DIEGO, July 15 /PRNewswire/ -- Food.com, the
`Internet's premiere online takeout and delivery service, and Ameranth
`Technology Systems, Inc., a leading provider of wireless systems solutions to
`the hospitality industry, today announced a partnership that company officials
`expect will extend the transmission of takeout and delivery orders placed
`online at www.food.com directly to restaurant kitchens and point of sale
`systems, thereby speeding transactions, reducing handling and improving
`accuracy. Company officials also announced that the partnership will enable
`users to check wait times for restaurants, to place themselves on wait-lists
`before leaving for restaurants, and to make reservations online. Ameranth
`will also work closely with its strategic partners, such as Symbol
`Technologies, to enable the Food.com site to receive orders wirelessly from
`the emerging generation of wirelessly enabled smart devices.
`"Our partnership with Ameranth fits perfectly into our plans for the
`delivery of online orders from a consumer's keyboard to a restaurant's
`kitchen," said Food.com's Chairman and CEO, Rich Frank. "Ameranth's
`technology will help us to increase both the speed and the efficiency in
`transmitting orders to our partner restaurants, and will significantly
`decrease our margin of error. The same capabilities that will allow for these
`improvements in online ordering will also enable users to make reservations,
`check wait times, and place themselves on wait-lists so that they don't have
`to spend endless hours waiting to get seated when they decide to dine out."

`
`Ameranth introduced its 21st Century Restaurant(TM) system in conjunction
`with Symbol Technologies, the world leader in mobile computing, at the
`National Restaurant Association tradeshow in Chicago on May 22, 1999. The
`21st Century Restaurant system is a fully integrated hardware, software,
`mobile and wireless architecture that provides the long-awaited hospitality
`industry standard for wireless automation and integration. The entire system
`employs the Microsoft(R) family of software products and Symbol Technologies
`Spectrum24(R) wireless networks. The centerpiece of the 21st Century
`Restaurant system is Ameranth's UltraPad(TM) 2700, a 3/4 pound, wireless,
`handheld computer using Microsoft Windows CE, which provides state-of-the-art
`capabilities for wireless POS, table management, wait-list management,
`reservations, frequent dining, Web-based links, management interface and
`communications.
`"We believe that our partnership with Food.com will provide restaurateurs
`and their clientele with the most convenient, most efficient solution
`possible," said Keith McNally, President and CEO of Ameranth. "Orders placed
`at www.food.com will find their way directly into the kitchen and into the
`point of sale system through our relationships with our POS partners -- wait
`times, wait-lists and reservations will be accessible online to customers, and
`will be available over the wireless LAN to hosts/hostesses whose handheld
`terminals will be updated as soon as customers make a reservation or place
`themselves on a wait-list."
