(NASDAQ:MCRS), a leading provider of information technology solutions for the hospitality and retail industries, is pleased to announce that Catalina Restaurant Group, operators of Coco's and Carrow's, has opened its newest restaurant concept, Ranch House Café and Grill, California's newest restaurant sensation with MICROS's next generation technology. With future growth in mind, the company has selected MICROS Simphony, which provides cloud-based enterprise tools to manage its menus, as well as create and choose a complete set of reporting, auditing, and analysis tools designed to deliver the information it needs to run its business.
