`
`The 814-room Hilton at Walt
`
`Disney World Village has been using
`an HHT (handheld touchscreen)
`system from Micros Systems, Inc.,
`Beltsville, MD,
`in its pool area for
`about 18 months to deliver beverage
`service in roughly the time it takes
`for guests to towel themselves off.
`Currently,
`the Hilton uses four
`HHT units that communicate via
`spread-spectrum RF technology with
`
`the hotel’s POS system. the Micros
`8700 hospitality management system
`(HMS). The HMS network in turn
`interfaces to Hilton’s proprietary
`property management system. A
`radio module inside the HHT sends
`
`signals to a base station with antenna
`mounted on the pool bar’s wall. The
`base station is wired to a PC that
`
`houses application software and .
`point-of—sale database.

`the property’s
`Says Joe Soria,
`manager of information systems, “It
`saves the servers 3 lot of time. And
`that's the bottom line—increasing
`the guest's satisfaction.
`“Before we got
`the hand-held
`units, the servers would have to go
`around both pools to take orders,
`write them down, and then head back
`toward the kitchen bar area.” There,
`
`they would turn in their orders to be
`filled, then come back later to pick
`up and deliver the drinks and food.
`
`"Servers don't have any time
`in waste, really - the order
`comes up, they ya deliver it.
`and they're ready in lake
`annther round of orders."
`
`—Jne Suria
`
`Hiltnn at [Hall llisney
`lllurld Village
`
`“Now," Soria says, “servers can
`go around the pool and enter the
`orders right there. As soon as it‘s
`rung in,
`the order prints up at
`the
`kitchen. So by the time they make
`their rounds at both pools, the order
`is usually very close to being ready.
`Servers don't have any time to waste,
`really—the order comes up, they go
`deliver it, and they’re ready to take
`another round of orders."
`The one drawback to HHT,
`
`according to Soria, is that the rela-
`tively small screen size of the hand-
`held units sometimes requires servers
`to spend a little more time accessing
`multiple information screens instead
`of one larger main menu. Otherwise.
`the system has performed so satis-
`factorily that the Hilton has consid-
`ered using its hand-held units so
`in-room mini bar attendants can
`
`immediately post totals to folios.
`“Unfortunately,”
`Soria
`says,
`“because of the thickness and mater-
`
`ial of the Walls, the signal doesn’t get
`very far.” For now, it is not financial-
`ly feasible for the Hilton to install the

`McDonald’s hopes to use wireless
`order entry technology in a number
`of order-taking and customer-survey
`applications,
`including at alternate
`venues. They hope to continue testing
`this year.
`Wireless order entry systems that
`use hand-held terminals to communi-
`cate via radio frequency to a PC have
`long been common in applications
`such as warehousing. These systems
`have just in the last few years been
`introduced to the hospitality industry,
`but they are being accepted. “Hand-
`held technology is still very imma—
`ture," says Dan lnterlandi, senior vice
`president and general manager at
`Micros. in reference to spread-spec-
`trum radio modules like those sold by
`his company.

`the tide is definitely shifting in this
`direction. He adds, “We think that
`when handwriting recognition equip-
`ment becomes better and more reli-
`able. and when the total
`cost——
`including software, printers, and
`everything else that accompanies a
`hand-held unit is around $1,000 per
`server—that
`is when restaurateurs
`will begin to choose these technolo-
`gies over traditional fixed point-of-
`sale terminals.”
`While Micros alone has some
`3,000 Hl-lTs installed at 300 sites in
`restaurants, hotels, stadiums and
`casinos, lnterlandi reports that fine
`dining establishments have not
`accepted
`hand-held

`ambiance will suffer if servers spend

`than talking directly with patrons. 0
