at Recently-Opened Property

CLEVELAND �  Feb. 3, 2009 � Agilysys, Inc. (Nasdaq: AGYS), a leading provider of innovative information technology and hospitality software solutions, announced today that Snoqualmie Casino in Snoqualmie, Wash. has selected Eatec Solutions and InfoGenesis POS� by Agilysys. The solutions are being utilized to increase efficiency and control costs related to inventory and procurement at this upscale casino and entertainment venue, which opened in November 2008.

�The Eatec and InfoGenesis systems not only have all the functionality we need, but also are fully integrated,� said James Elefante, management information systems director at Snoqualmie Casino. �These solutions manage all cost centers on the property and enable us to streamline both our retail and food and beverage operations. The reporting features allow us to see the �big picture� as well as individual areas that need attention. We expect a fast return on investment based on the cost savings and efficiencies we have already seen.�

Eatec Solutions by Agilysys is a Microsoft Windows®-based, full-featured inventory and procurement software solution designed especially for the foodservice and hospitality industries. Along with its core purchasing, inventory, recipe, forecasting, production and sales analysis functions, the system also offers modules for catering, restaurant and retail. The modular software structure enables customers to construct the exact set of features they need to control inventory and optimize production. Snoqualmie Casino is using the buffet management module to view food consumption versus revenue and the retail module to create custom bar code labels for the casino gift shop.

InfoGenesis POS� by Agilysys is an enterprise-ready point-of-sale solution that combines powerful reporting and configuration capabilities with an easy-to-use touch-screen terminal application. The system�s centralized database enables total management of dining, bar service and gift shop operations. Features of the system include sorting, grouping and filtering options; real-time reporting capabilities; organizational controls; and advanced encryption tools. Snoqualmie Casino is using the point-of-sale system in its restaurants, bars and gift shop. An interface with the Eatec Solutions inventory and procurement system enables InfoGenesis POS to read barcodes on retail items and instantly update inventory counts.

�The Eatec Solutions inventory and procurement system and InfoGenesis POS offer a complete and integrated solution for managing both food and beverage and retail operations,� said Tina Stehle, senior vice president and general manager of Agilysys Hospitality Solutions Group. �Now, more than ever, hospitality venues are looking for ways to conserve resources, and the combined power of these two systems will enable Snoqualmie Casino to reduce costs, maintain accurate inventory counts and operate more efficiently.�
