Pollo Campero Selects Radiant Systems Back Office Solution for U.S. Operations

World’s largest Latin American chicken restaurant chain to centralize food and labor management with MenuLink

ATLANTA (June 8, 2009) – Radiant Systems, Inc. (Nasdaq: RADS) today announced an agreement with Pollo Campero, the world’s largest Latin American chicken restaurant chain, to standardize its U.S. operations on MenuLink Labor and MenuLink Inventory.

"Soon after one of our franchisees implemented MenuLink, we realized the bottom-line benefits first-hand,” said Rodolfo Bianchi, vice president of operation services at Campero USA Corp. ”We selected MenuLink because it provides us with the necessary tools to measure, analyze and report on food and labor costs, which will significantly help us gain better control of our operations."

Pollo Campero, located in 11 countries around the globe and serving more than 75 million customers annually, plans to deploy MenuLink Labor, the labor management back office application, and MenuLink Inventory, the inventory and food cost management back office application in its franchise and company-operated locations of its Campero USA business. The combination of comprehensive labor and food cost management tools will help the global restaurant chain to optimize scheduling, forecasting and financial reporting. By gaining the ability to closely monitor inventory and analyze food cost, Campero USA will be able to deliver higher levels of profitability by allowing greater control and efficiency without adding incremental resources.

“It’s clear that MenuLink is a critical component of our complete hospitality technology solution,” said Paul Langenbahn, president for the hospitality division at Radiant Systems. “The implementation of MenuLink allows Pollo Campero to make smarter and faster business decisions that are based on real-time factual reporting data.”
