MICROS Systems Inc.’s (MCRS) MICROS 9700 Hospitality Management System (HMS) with Perpetual Inventory & Event Management was selected by Washington Nationals Baseball Club LLC to take charge of its food and beverage operations at Nationals Park in Washington, DC.

The financial details were not disclosed.

This Point-of-Service solution will be implemented from March 31, 2011, and will provide 283 MICROS Keyboard Workstation 270’s throughout the 50 concession outlets, 50 MICROS Workstation 5A’s throughout the 4 premium restaurants and Mobile MICROS for in-seat service for the Washington Nationals first home game of the season. Furthermore, the Nationals’ premium kitchens and in-seat pantries will apply 11 MICROS Kitchen Display Systems.

As the MICROS 9700 HMS solution enhances transaction controls and employee accountability, there will be growth in the Nationals’ revenue and also a noticeable reduction in the probability of theft. In addition to onsite live support for Opening Day, MICROS will provide installation and training services.

Earlier, AC Hotels, a newly formed AC Hotels by MARRIOTT INTERNATIONAL INC. (MAR) had selected the MICROS OPERA solution for its 91 properties located throughout Spain, Portugal and Italy.  

The solution will be centrally hosted at the MICROS Frankfurt Datacenter and provide Property Management and Back Office along with MICROS Simphony Enterprise Restaurant Point-of-Service. The company enables AC Hotels and the Spanish and Mediterranean markets with solutions satisfying local fiscal and legal requirements.  The preparation of the project will initiate in May 2011 and finish by the end of the calendar year.

Headquartered in Columbia, Maryland, MICROS designs, manufactures, markets and services enterprise information solutions for the hospitality and specialty retail industries.

We would like to be on the sidelines until we get more clarity on the recovery of the business, as we are concerned about the hotel business, which failed to meet the internal budget. Thus, we have a Neutral recommendation on the stock with a Zacks #4 Rank translating into a short-term rating of Sell.
