`Ameranth WirelessTM Supports Darden’s “Seasons 52” Launch
`
`Ameranth Provides Wireless Integration Services and Products
`to World ’3 Largest Casual Dining Restaurant Company
`
`February 24, 2003, San Diego, California— Amerantb Wireless”, creator of the 2]St Century
`Restaurant® system for table management/reservations, wireless ordering and payment processing,
`announces that it— along with its strategic partners, supported Darden’s New Business Division in the
`launch of their exciting new restaurant concept, “Seasons 52” in Orlando, Florida.
`
`Launched today, the trendy, new Seasons 52 Restaurant is garnering industry attention through the
`decision to test market rotating weekly menu’s with high quality, seasonal, nutritious foods--
`prepared in new and very healthy ways. Seasons 52 is thus named because every week of the year

`provides an unprecedented blend of menus, wine lists, and even technologies — all aimed at
`providing seamless and optimal service for customers.
`
`Seasons 52 is the latest casual dining restaurant to be launched by Darden Restaurants, Inc. The
`corporation already operates more than 1,200 Red Lobster, Olive Garden, Bahama Breeze and
`Smokey Bones restaurants in North America, leading each of its market segments and employing
`more than 122,000 people.
`
`“Ameranth Wireless partnered with hospitality visionary, Blaine Sweatt, and his team- to provide
`many of the key products and technologies integral to the innovations introduced at Seasons 52,”
`said Keith McNally= CEO of Ameranth Wireless, Inc. “The opportunity to work with Blaine and
`Darden in the development of this exciting concept was an exceptional experience for Amaranth.”
`
`“When we set out to develop the Seasons 52 concept, we knew that we needed to leverage the very
`best in technology to optimize our efficiencies and maximize cusromer satisfaction,” said Blaine
`Sweatt, president of Darden's New Business Division. “We chose Ameranth Wireless as our
`wireless integrator, and we have worked very closely with them since the summer of 2000.
`Ameranth has developed two exciting products for us and brought in their strategic partners so that
`we have an optimal solution that exploits the best of technology-- while maintaining the ideal
`atmosphere and total guest satisfaction. Ameranth has been an outstanding partner in all respects."

`
`“While we provided some of the key pieces of the total Seasons 52 solution ourselves, we c0uld
`only meet the total challenge through the power of our ‘best of breed’ strategic partners,” said Keith
`McNally, CEO of Ameranth Wireless. “The entire solution is built on Microsoft Windows and
`Windows Powered mobile platforms, and runs on Symbol wireless devices and their 802.] 13
`network. Microsoft and Symbol are the ‘backbones’ that Hospitality industry leaders rely on for
`mission critical applications. We partnered with JTECl-l, the world leader in on—premise paging
`systems on the Hostalert table management/waitlist product lbertech, developer of Aloha, the
`Windows-based restaurant POS leader is our strategic partner on the Wireless POS application.”
`
`The technology component of Seasons 52 allowed Ameranth to shom'case its industry leading
`wireless restaurant sofiware products, plus develop new features specifically for the restaurant. The
`Seasons 52 innovations include the use of handheld computers for wireless ordering: tracking food
`preparation, monitoring waitlists, and handling payments while at the table. Ameranth also
`developed the calorie and nutritional look-up features, enabling food service staff to save time by
`looking up detailed information while at tableside. The Ameranth software also provides an easy-to—
`use/easy-to-update system for tracking multiple tables, unique and continually rotating menus, and
`the 100+ item international wine list to be offered through Seasons 52.

`
`Ameranth is teaming with Symbol“ at Aloha FOCUS 2003 to offer a first look at the recently
`
`launched Symbol PPT 8846. The 8846 is the world’s smallest/lightest rugged terminal that is well-
`suited for harsher, more rugged environments, such as a busy, prime-time restaurant shift.
`Consumer-grade PDAs do not offer “go-anywhere/anytime” durability, integral 802.118 wireless
`connectivity, payment processing and integrated data management tools, whereas the PPT 8846
`series of hand-helds fall within Symbol’s Extreme PDA category of devices- which are specifically
`designed to meet the needs of today’s mobile worker. The combined Aloha software, Amaranth
`Wireless software, and Symbol hardware/wireless solution will significantly reduce concerns about
`harsh working environments, seamless software communications, wireless networking installations
`in vertical markets, payment processing, security and battery life.
`
`Aloha dealers or end customers interested in Ameranth’s wireless POS sales opportunities can
`receive more information about Ameranth’s Wireless Point-of-Sale solutions by calling 888-
`AMERANTH or by emailing info@,Ameranth.com.
