`
`POCKET PCS, HOSTALERT HELP FILL TABLES
`IN PEAK PERIODS
`Many restaurants do as much as 50 percent of their weekly business in just two days,
`and often in just a few hours within those two days. Because most restaurants still rely
`on pen and paper to create reservations and grease pencils for table s1atus. it Is difficult
`and tabor-intensive to manage table status and wafting lists. Guests who sense a disorganized
`host stand or see too many guests waiting will frequently choose to leave and try another
`restaurant, resulting In lost business. Communications between froni-mtrance staff membas,
`table servers. and the kitchen are often an inefficient combination of yelling, hand signals.
`voice radios, and manual inputs.
`
`With pressure on major chains such as Red Lobster to increase their same store sales to
`meet investor expectations, creating more efficient ways to seat and serve customers is
`critical. HostAlert was designed by Ameranth to solve these key issues by integrating and
`linking all aspects of restaurant communications, including on-premise paging, cell phones,
`JTECH pagers. Web-based *mamas, and LAN and 802.11-based communications.
`
`The a core software application includes reporting features and a learning" algorithm
`that tracks specific restaurant operations to develop a type of artificial intelligence about
`that restaurant according to the day of the week, particular times, meal periods. and
`other variables to more accurately predict guest wait times. The solution also Includes
`a host screen that allows host servers to quickly and easily monitor the status of all
`tables in a restaurant. Pocket PC devices run the Microsoft Pocket Access database,
`which is used by floor servers to track and update the status of tables. with that information
`wirelessly transmitted track to the host station.
`
`DELIVERING PERSONALIZED SERVICE
`Randy Elea% IT director for Red Lobster, says the solution supports the chain's business
`objectives of Improving the overall lobby experience for guests. providing a smoother and
`more efficient seating process, improving the accuracy of wait times, and maximizing table
`use to bolster sales_
`
`"Many restaurants are trying some form of table management system. but there were many
`features that we required end HostAlert addressed these requirements' Babitt says_ 'With
`the use of the wireless Pocket PCs, tables are seated faster as table status information is
`communicated to the host instantaneously. The system is also helping us provide more
`personalized service by tieing able to communicate special needs, special requests, and
`notices of special occasions for guests."
`
`Babitt adds that, while the solution is still in early stages of depb3ymenL Initial reports
`indicated that it is helping Red Lobster to raise table usage to more Van 80 percent in peak
`periods, up from an average of 60 to 70 percent. For a typical restaurant, that translates to
`an additional 40 guests served each Week
`
`MAKING OPERATIONS MORE PROFITABLE
`Dave Miller. chairman and founder of JTECH, says the solution addresses a key performance
`Concern of the restaurant Industry_ 'When we talk to restaurant companies, their chief
`concern is being able to seat people quickly and efficiently. There ore only so many hours
`In the week when they can do a tot of business. so if they can seat six more parties on a
`Friday night, that makes them more profitable."
`
`Keith McNally, Ameranth Chief Executive Officer, says the combination of HostAlert,
`JTECH paging, and Pocket PCs is giving companies like Red Lobster an extra edge.
`"This business is highly competitive, and in recessionary periods even more so," he says.
`"Using a solution such as this is giving Red Lobster an additional boost in efficiency and
`performance, which translates into better customer service, more customers during the
`week. and higher sales to report back to Investors."

`Restaurant® system for table management/reservations, wireless ordering and payment p::ocessing,
`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

`
`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 Arneranth."
`
`"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 customer 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 could
`only meet the total challenge through the power of our 'best of breed' strategic partners," said Keith
`McNally, CEO of Arneranth Wireless_ "The entire solution is built on Microsoft Windows and
`Windows Powered mobile platforms, and runs on Symbol wireless devices and their 802.1113
`network. Microsoft and Symbol are the 'backbones' that Hospitality Industry leaders rely on for
`mission critical applications. We partnered with JTECH, the world leader in on-premise paging
`systems on the Hostalert table management/waitlist product Ibertech, 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 showcase its industry leading
`wireless restaurant software 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 lime by

`
`Ameranth Wireless"' Announces Major Aloha POS Upgrade
`
`New Set of Ameranth Features on Symbol's exciting PPT 8846 hand-held Expected to Boost
`Wireless Point-of-Sales for Aloha TM Dealers Worldwide
`
`April 12, 2003, San Diego, California— Ameranth WirelessTM, creator of the 21g Century
`Restaurant® system for wireless ordering and payment processing, along with its hardware partner,
`Symbol today announced a significant new upgrade package and better pricing options for
`Aloha's international dealer network.
`
`Aloha- the recognized industry leader in Windows® POS and Ameranth recently partnered on the
`very successful launch of Darden's new Seasons 52 Restaurant in Orlando Florida- where 25
`Symbol hand-helds are operating the Ameranth/Aloha software solution. This announcement runs in
`conjunction with this weeks Aloha FOCUS Conference in the Bahamas.
`
`Wireless POS ordering will become easier and more powerful than ever with the latest release of
`Ameranth's 2151 Century Restaurant software, which is operational in more than 100 Alolu sites
`worldwide. By addressing the next generation of wireless technology requirements in the hospitality
`market, Ameranth's new features increase an operator's flexibility in running a restaurant.
`
`The new software release includes the following new capabilities - all at new and lower pricing:
`
`Split Checks - The software upgrade now enables servers to use their hand-helds to split checks.
`
`Tips - The upgrade makes it possible to apply and adjust tips using just a handheld.
`
`Voids and Comps - For the first time, manager voids and comps can be made via handheld devices.
`
`Exception Modifiers - Ameranth provides full support of exception modifiers, which allow wait
`staffs to easily handle unique orders.
`
`In short, the number of table-to-table trips by servers increases by decreasing the number of table-to-
`terminal trips.

`
`Ameranth is teaming with SymbolTM at Aloha FOCUS 2003 to offer a fast 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 802.11B 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, Ameranth
`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 infoeAmeranth.com.
