The Hong Kong Jockey Club Goes Live with Eatec

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Emeryville, CA, December 29, 1997 - Eatec Corporation announced today that the Hong Kong Jockey Club (HKJC), Hong Kong's largest business and most elaborate food and beverage operation, has implemented Eatec's award-winning food and beverage management solution, EatecNet.

With EatecNet, remote site users connect to their corporate system, via an intranet or the Internet, and run the software in real time.

After piloting the software for six months, the HKJC and Eatec development team created a robust implementation, bringing an easy-to-use and intuitive solution to the hands of HKJC users.

The EatecNet system is operating with Microsoft SQL Server 6.5 on a Windows NT 4.0 server and a fiber optic wide area network. EatecNet is accessed over this Intranet by 40-50 workstations, spread among five primary facilities including two race tracks, two clubhouses and a country club, consisting of more than 140 food and beverage outlets and with a seating capacity of 17,000.

With revenues in excess of $450 million HK dollars, HKJC has been one of Eatec's more challenging implementations, considering the complexity and scale of their food and beverage operations. With service ranging from the fast food stand to the finest dining in Hong Kong, cuisine spanning continents in style and preparation, and operations including full banquet facilities, multiple production kitchens and butchery functions, satisfying the needs of all users was a daunting task.

Nevertheless, EatecNet's flexibility, including the configuration of screens in Chinese, has ensured a solution that tracks and manages HKJC's entire food service operations, from purchasing to costing, from banquet orders to production. A/P and G/L data from EatecNet are interfaced to their accounting system.

Outlet managers will use EatecNet's full range of accounting and database reports to tightly control each unit and to fulfill their corporate reporting requirements. Corporate-level personnel will improve decision-making and streamline business processes as a result of the real-time access to information from multiple sites.

Eatec Corporation, headquartered in Emeryville, California, has been providing software solutions to the hospitality industry since 1985. For additional information, contact Eatec (510) 594-9011 x2.
