EatecNet Food and Beverage Management Software Providing the Enchantment Resort with Cost of Goods Reduction of 1-2%

Emeryville, CA � June 12, 2000 - Enchantment Resort, a luxury resort and spa facility located in the high desert plains of Arizona, is giving EatecNet Food and Beverage Management Software rave reviews. Steve Branson, Director of Purchasing for Enchantment, says that �since implementing EatecNet, the resort has lowered its cost of goods by 1-2%.�

The savings have resulted from EatecNet�s improved controls for purchasing, receiving, requisitions and transfers which support the full service conference center, central club house, fine dining and casual restaurants, room service, mini bars and catering facilities.

�With EatecNet, mistakes made in vendor shipments and invoices are caught quickly and corrected,� says Branson. �The software has also dramatically increased the speed at which we take and record physical inventory. What used to take us three days now is done with little more than a few key-strokes, and is more accurate than ever before.�

End users at Enchantment access EatecNet�s functionality through a local-area network, whereby Enchantment�s management can easily review operations as a whole, by individual profit center, or through any combination throughout the organization.
