 NEW HARTFORD, N.Y.--February 26, 2009 -
PAR Springer-Miller Systems, Inc. (PSMS) --- a wholly owned subsidiary
of PAR Technology Corporation (NYSE:PTC) and the leading provider of
guest-centric hospitality management systems --- today announced that
Bardessono of Yountville, California has installed PAR’s SMS|Host
Hospitality Management System.
The premier luxury resort in the Napa Valley, Bardessono carefully blends the agrarian history of the land with modern architecture and style. MTM Luxury Lodging partnered with Bardessono’s owners to develop their vision of a unique property that embraces the heritage of the valley, a commitment to environmental responsibility and at the heart of the operation – satisfying guests and their expectations. Arriving Bardessono guests are greeted under the porte cochère by a hostess with a handheld tablet pc running a full version of the SMS|Host front office system via Citrix. Bardessono has chosen to forego the traditional front desk and lobby, the entire check-in process occurs while strolling to one of the 62 guest suites. The rooms feature personal touches for each guest, made possible with the robust Guest Profile capacity of SMS|Host. Online reservations flow through the new SMS|World XA online booking engine which provides a seamless, single-screen reservations process. The resort is connected to MTM Luxury Lodging’s CRS office via SMS|Enterprise which ensures that valuable guest details are made available to all properties within the MTM Luxury Lodging collection. Guest details obtained may include dining preferences, in-room entertainment preferences and desired in-room temperature. Amongst the many green initiatives on property, there is a wide variety of XML interfaces. Through SMS|Diplomat, a Check-In Notification is sent to various vendors; the INNCOM Integration Room Automation System will open the electronic blinds, set the thermostat, and turn on the fireplace while Guest-tek and FCS are responsible for displaying the guests name on a welcome screen on the flat-screen television and I.P. phone. “Creating and managing innovative hospitality properties is what we do best,” commented James Simpkins, CEO of MTM Luxury Lodging. “Partnering with PAR Springer-Miller Systems and their SMS|Host solution has allowed our hospitality technology to be as advanced and customized as our properties.” “MTM Luxury Lodging and their Bardessono property represent one of the most innovative hotel operations in the world, and PAR’s SMS|Host Hospitality Management System sits at the epicenter of their technology-centric service delivery process,” remarked Larry Hall, President of PAR Springer-Miller Systems. “We value our relationship with MTM Luxury Lodging, not only because MTN operate some of the finest properties in the world, but because their management team constantly challenges the status quo and maintains an unwavering commitment to innovation, creativity, and the effective use of technology to enrich their guests’ experience.” About PAR Springer-Miller Systems PAR Springer-Miller Systems, Inc. is a leading provider of hospitality management solutions that meet the technology needs of all types of hospitality enterprises including city-center hotels, destination spa and golf properties, timeshare properties and casino resorts worldwide.
