`Subject: Ameranth Licenseing Contract
`
`I have met with Keith McNally to agree on the deal points on a Licensing Agreement. Here
`are the products and services we would want.
`
`t (cid:9) Menu Wizard --- this is a tool which digitally constructs and updates restaurant menus.
`This benefits to us with this tool would be the following:
`a) create and update menus faster with significant labor savings
`b)
`lower cost of maintenance (restaurant customers will be able to update and change
`specials themselves)
`c) exclusive rights to this tool ( barrier to entry)
`
`2. Communications Wizard--- this tool creates a standard that can be used to integrate
`with any POS terminal and establishes the online ordering protocol.
`
`3. Reservations--- Food.com would have exclusive rights to the online reservation
`system. They would help us create a hybrid system that can connect with the POS but can
`also operate through a call center as we establish the POS integration. This would be a
`revenue split arrangement 50/50
`
`4. Registered Users and Order incentives--- we would pay Ameranth a fee for registered
`users brought to us as well as the initial order placed by new registered users. We talked
`about $1.00 for a new registered user and $4i0e, for the first order a new registered user
`would place
`)
`Ameranth would integrate us with the following POS companies that they say they either
`have contracts or will have signed contracts by the end of the month.
`HSI
`Aloha
`Squirrel
`I nfogenisis
`Positouch
`Ameranth would agrees to develop the tools that would give us immediate intergrations with
`all of the above as well as any POS companies we signed agreements with independently
`Micros and Radiant). Ameranth would give us a NTE ( not to exceed) estimate for all of the
`tools mentioned above of $200,000 and commit to a goal of $150,000 for this work.
`Tiny will be taking these deal points to our lawyers so I would ask you all to make your
`comments and corrections to myself and Tanya as quickly as possible.
