Bento Nouveau Group Selects Radiant Systems as Technology Provider

Canadian-based sushi company seeks to improve efficiencies with Aloha Enterprise solution

ATLANTA, (March 25, 2009) — Radiant Systems, Inc. (Nasdaq: RADS) announced today that Bento Nouveau, the largest sushi company in Canada, has chosen the Aloha Enterprise solution for its new concept, Bento Zushi, enabling the restaurant operator to more efficiently automate its operations, manage to better results and effectively measure its performance.    

“Over the past six months, Aloha Enterprise has been installed in seven of our new Bento Zushi stores, and we love it,” said Bruce Dimytosh, executive vice president of retail at Bento Nouveau, whose restaurant brands also include Bento Nouveau, Makisushi, Kama Sushi, BN Sushi, Maru Sushi, and Sumo. “Now instead of waiting for at least three days to track down the information needed to make effective operating decisions across our sites, our management data is available at the touch of a single button anytime, anywhere.”

The Aloha Enterprise solution, implemented and supported by Radiant reseller Radeon Technologies, Ltd., includes Radiant P1220 POS hardware terminals with biometrics, Aloha Quick Service Point-of-Sale software, Aloha Command Center and Aloha Insight. Utilizing the biometric technology at the POS enables Bento Nouveau to more accurately control labor by confirming that the correct employee is clocking in and out. The addition of Aloha Command Center and Aloha Insight provides the ability to monitor all store-level site systems for support and compliance purposes with maximum security while giving Bento Nouveau the visibility and control needed to efficiently analyze operational results and quickly make decisions.

“The Aloha Enterprise solution is ideal for restaurant operators looking for an end-to-end technology solution to build efficient operations, provide the fantastic experience that guests expect and achieve healthy growth,” said Paul Langenbahn, hospitality division president at Radiant Systems. “We look forward to building a long-term relationship with Bento Nouveau through our reseller, Radeon Technologies.”
