Toronto, ON (PRWEB) November 17, 2004 -- ThinkNet announces support for Microsoft Smarter Hospitality, a comprehensive solutions framework for enabling the next generation of hospitality innovation. ThinkNets Restaurant Metrics solution, built with Microsoft .NET and Microsoft technologies including Windows Server 2003, SharePoint Portal Server, Microsoft SQL Server, and Microsoft MapPoint®, combines the power of Business Intelligence with the convenience and ease of use of a business portal.
Executives and business managers of foodservice and hospitality chains use Restaurant Metrics to enhance their decision making and gain a greater insight into their Sales, Operations, Marketing, Menu Engineering, Speed of Service, Food Costing and Labor Costing.
Restaurant Metrics provides a revolutionary approach to business reporting offering dozens of pre-configured views for decision making, and the flexibility of creating new reports and dashboards from a library of building blocks.
More and more, foodservice and lodging decision-makers require solutions that provide improved visibility into the areas that impact profitability," said Brian Scott, general manager for Microsofts Retail & Hospitality Industry Unit. ThinkNets Restaurant Metrics delivers the type of real-time, actionable data that is a key element in taking a Smarter Hospitality approach."
ThinkNet Restaurant Metrics is the first Microsoft SharePoint-based enterprise reporting solution built specifically for the needs of the foodservice and lodging industry. The business environment these days is very dynamic. As it changes, reports, executive dashboards, and scorecards should change as well," says Edward Kress, President of ThinkNet. A one-size-fits-all approach no longer works for our clients, and thats why we created Restaurant Metrics."
Available immediately, the ThinkNet Restaurant Metrics solution is sold directly and through a network of ThinkNets select partners worldwide. For a limited time, companies purchasing the server license for Restaurant Metrics will have unlimited access to it from any number of locations with no need to acquire additional Restaurant Metrics licenses.
