CSS to Demo Mobile Computing Solutions At HITEC Expo, Booth # 448

ATLANTA, June 22, 1999 — Culinary Software Services Inc., the developer of the award winning ChefTec Software for inventory control, recipe and menu costing, and nutritional analysis introduced an exciting new tool for managing physical inventory at this year’s HITEC Expo, June 22 – 24, in Atlanta.

At less than 5 inches tall and weighing only 6 ounces the Palm III handheld is a powerful pocket sized organizer. And preloaded with the inventory application specifically designed to work with ChefTec and ChefTec Plus, Culinary Software Services has created an easier and more efficient way to track physical inventory.

Rather than having to print out worksheets, write their physical inventory counts, and then manually enter the data into ChefTec, the customized Palm III application lets users take their Palm III throughout their operation, entering inventory counts, and then instantly upload the physical counts into ChefTec on their desktop. It’s as simple as the click of a button on the included cradle.

The Palm III has backlit screens, making it easy to read in dimly lit settings. Complete with cable, protective flip cover, cradle and batteries, the Palm III is simple to install and easy to use. Packages including ChefTec and the Palm III start at only $1295, making this an affordable option for operations of any size.

Founded in 1990 by Brian Bennett and Chef Dana Holland, Culinary Software Services makes ChefTec and ChefTec Plus software for the foodservice industry. In 1998, the company released ChefTec Plus, a complete back-of-the-house package that contains the comprehensive inventory control, recipe and menu costing, and nutritional analysis functionality of ChefTec, combined with more sophisticated features, primarily the ability to interface with POS systems and perpetual inventory.

ChefTec won the Innovator’s Award for Technology from the California Restaurant Association in 1998, and is installed in diverse foodservice operation around the world. Marriott International is currently implementing ChefTec in over 400 of its units. Other recent installations include Carlson Restaurants Worldwide, parent company to T.G.I. Friday’s, Caesar’s Atlantic City, the Hyatt Regency Hill Country Resort, and the Southern California School of Culinary Arts.
