Taking responsibility for our environment
MICROS is committed to developing sustainable technologies and has stepped up its efforts to become a more environmentally responsible company in all aspects of business operations.
From the development of software solutions that greatly reduce paper consumption, to the manufacturing of energy efficient hardware, we have made it a priority to reduce our carbon footprint in the hospitality industry.
Enterprise applications
MICROS enterprise applications significantly contribute to a company’s sustainability, while cutting business expenses.
- Kitchen Display Systems offer communication between the restaurant and kitchen, without the use of printers and paper.
- Digital Menu Boards electronically display menus, prices and advertisements, so that re-printing is not required when an update is made.
- Materials Control is an inventory control product, that assits in the reduction of waste and the allocation of stock and resources.
Hosted solutions
Hosted solutions operate from a central server in a Data Center, allowing businesses to maintain fewer computer servers and software applications on site.
- eSolutions is a content rich internet portal that can be accessed anytime, anywhere, so priniting of reports can be eliminated.
- Simphony Point of Sale is a true enterprise POS product that delivers superior architecture, which means less equipment is required at each site.
- OPERA Enterprise Suite is a fully integrated suite of enterprise hotel software solutions consisting of modules that can be easily added or expanded without additional hardware.
Hardware
Strict guidelines are adhered to during the development of our hardware and only safe raw materials are used in production.
- MICROS Workstation 5A is diskless and operates without a fan, requiring half of the enery of a typical PC-based device.
Sustainability Highlight
"We used to have a problem with stock going out of date. But when we tidied up our database, we found that there were lots of ways we could streamline our inventory items."
