Wireless Order Taking for Restaurants & Bars



Bangalore, January 24, 2007: IDS Softwares Pvt. Ltd., (IDS), one of India's few
product software companies and a market leader in the hospitality solutions market
with over 1,000 installations across 20 countries, today announced the launch of
Fortune MobilePOS, a product which enables stewards in a restaurant (or any other
F&B outlet) to take an order from the guest electronically on a hand-held wireless
PDA device.



Fortune MobilePOS is targeted at F&B Outlets and would greatly reduce the hassles
associated with the traditional way of order taking on paper and then traveling to
the Kitchen to place the order. The moment order is saved on the hand held device,
it is transmitted wirelessly & printed at the kitchen(s) (which might be located at
a distance).The key features of the product include; paperless, wireless, handheld
order entry, multi-level item modifiers and multi-outlet handling. The product finds
application in fine dining restaurants (individual or part of some hotel),
discotheques, lounge bars, resorts, roof top restaurants and any outlet where
kitchen is at a distance.

Launching the new product here today Mr. Rajesh P Yadav, General Manager - Sales,
IDS, said, "IDS has been a front runner in introducing technology to the hospitality
industry for close to 2 decades. Fortune MobilePOS is our solution that would change
the way order is taken and executed in a restaurant by leveraging the technology and
in the process eliminate time-lag associated with traversing the distance to the
kitchen to deliver the order. The new product could be integrated with Fortune R&B,
& any of its PMS (Property Management Systems) like Fortune Enterprise, Fortune
Express and Fortune Genie from the Fortune Suite of Software Solutions by IDS."



Fortune MobilePOS uses Wi-Fi technology and is compatible with MS windows for mobile
pocket PC platform and Microsoft Windows Terminal Services.. The new product besides
enhancing image of the restaurant and increasing guest satisfaction levels would
also help the management in optimally utilizing the steward's time to remain more
focused in serving the guests rather than mundane task as well as reduce F&B
overheads involved with auditing of manual KOT system. Most importantly, Fortune
MobilePOS by ensuring instantaneous and error free transmission of order would help
restaurants increase guest satisfaction.



Today many of the renowned restaurant chains like Mainland China, Ruby Tuesdays,
Geoffrey's, Hardrock Café among others, are utilizing IDS' Fortune Suite of Software
for applications for their operations.



Head-quartered Bangalore, IDS has 9 offices across India to support its customers in
managing their mission critical hospitality applications. IDS technology team has a
combined domain experience of over 600 man-years. The company's Development and
