Micros introduces new tablet, engagement feature

Columbia, Md. – Micros Systems Inc. is introducing two solutions designed to allow retail and hospitality staff members to perform multiple activities from one device. The Micros MTablet E-Series operates on Microsoft Windows 8.1 Embedded Industry Pro in eight- and 11-inch versions, with the 11-inch version fully compatible with the Micros MStation base, providing staff the flexibility to be mobile or use it as a workstation option with full peripheral connectivity.



Optional sleeves for either MTablet size facilitate secure payment on the device.



The Micros Engagement feature offers a fluid touch experience with interactive live tiles that can display and promote content, connect to the loyalty program or external content feeds for guest entertainment, and take orders. It is also configurable and customizable for preference and can provide access to actionable data, analytics and tools for management staff.



"Mobility continues to be a consistent theme for technology in hospitality and retail,” said Russell Butler, senior VP of global research and development, Micros Systems. “In food & beverage, it is not enough to be able to just take an order on a device at a table. The guests want to be able to interact with the technology as well. Providing an exceptional guest experience goes beyond the quality of food and service, it includes the entire guest interaction."
