`
`party, etc.). The system automatically rec-
`ommends the next available table for the
`waiting party and will page the party when
`the table is being prepared for seating.
`
`Table Status Application
`How does the Command Center and,
`therefore, the hostess know the status of a
`table? Ameranth- developed the low-cost
`PadLink- as a means to send wireless
`messages indicating table status to the
`Command Center. Available table status
`messages include "table available," "table
`occupied," "bussing in process," "tables x
`and y connected" and others. For exam-
`ple, when the Waitlist and Table
`Management Function receives the
`PadLink- message "bussing in process,"
`the application identifies the table
`characteristics and match-
`es those characteristics
`to the party waiting
`the longest for that
`table. At that time,
`the hostess can pre-
`pare the party to occu-
`py the table, or send a
`page to the party notifying
`them to return to the restau-
`rant for seating. Wait times,
`notifications and other functions
`formerly performed by the hostess
`are automatic, allowing the hostess to
`focus on customer interaction and provid-
`ing a higher level of service.

`
`Waitlist and Table
`Management
`Ameranth's line-busting Waitlist
`Management application places
`key restaurant seating functions
`in the hands of the hostess
`and/or the restaurant manager.
`The integration of existing
`reservations and walk-in wait-
`listing is critical to customer sat-
`isfaction and maximum table
`turns per shift. With Ameranth's
`UltraPad- 2700, the hostess
`UltraPad' 2700 can graphically review open
`tables and query table
`status for wait times for a given
`table configuration, e.g., table
`for six, non-smoking, by a
`window. Synchronized with
`the Command Center Server
`via the 2.4GHz wireless local
`area network, the hostess
`always knows reservation and
`wait status. The system calcu-
`lates wait times based upon historical data
`and standard restaurant practices (day,
`time, table configuration, number in

`
`Reservations
`Ameranth's 21st Century
`Reservation System offers
`the restaurant manager a
`variety of means to process
`reservations. Diners can
`access the restaurant's reser-
`vation in-house reservation
`system online via amer-
`anth.com to view table availability
`and reserve tables based on specific

`reservations. Office personnel can
`enter these reservations directly into
`the Control Center Server, or an
`employee can enter the data remotely
`using the UltraPadr" 2700 and wireless
`network.
`
`Frequent Dining Program
`Ameranth's Customer Select frequency
`application offers the restaurant a seam-
`less way to enroll, track and manage fre-
`quent-customer programs. Ameranth's
`relational database, available both locally
`on the restaurant's Command Center Server
`and via the Internet from a central database,
`gives the restaurant manager access to key
`customer data. This data include table and din-
`ing preferences, anniversary dates and other
`information that provides the customer with a
