`Food.com and Ameranth Technology Announce Partnership to Develop Link from Food.com site
`with Ameranth's 21“ Century RestaurantTM System
`
`Partnership Expected to Extend Transmission ofInternet Takeout and Delivery Orders to Restaurant
`Kitchens and to Point ofSale Systems. Online Reservations and Wait-listing also Planned.
`
`(San Francisco and San Diego) - July 14, 1999 - Food.com, the Internet's premiere online takeout and
`delivery service, and Ameranth Technology Systems, lnc., 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, a leader in wireless technology, will also work closely with its strategic
`partners, e.g. Symbol Technologies and Food.com 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. And the same capabilities
`that will allow for these improvements in online ordering will enable users to make reservations, check
`wait times, 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 21“ Century Restaurant system in conjunction with Symbol Technologies, the
`world leader in mobile computing, at the National Restaurant Association Show 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® family of software products and
`Symbol Technologies Spectrum24® wireless networks. The centerpiece of the 21“ Century Restaurant
`System is Ameranth's UltraPadTM 2700, a 3/4 pound, wireless, handheld computer using Microsoft
`Window 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, and 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.“
