Oracle has launched its new MICROS Workstation 8 Series for the restaurant industry.

The company claims that its new point-of-sale (POS) workstations have been configured to meet each restaurant’s unique character and space requirements.

Featuring a platinum finish, the new workstation is equipped with a 14in touchscreen display and is said to deliver quality and durability in a sleek, ergonomic package.

The system features a Celeron Quad-Core CPU with the option for either Windows 10 IoT Enterprise or Oracle Linux for MICROS.

It is offered in multiple configuration options and includes a mount for a low-profile setup that helps remove any barriers between staff and guests and a vertical stand with a weighted base for a streamlined countertop design.

The tech company said that the restaurants can either implement a workstation on its own or leverage the peripheral expansion module (PEM), which provides options for a cash drawer, scale or scanner.

Oracle Food and Beverage executive vice-president and general manager Simon de Montfort Walker said: “Form meets function with the Oracle MICROS Workstation 8 Series. It’s elegant and lowers the physical barrier between staff and customer.

“More importantly, it’s the result of in-depth studies on the needs of customers and staff. It can be modified to fit its surroundings and comes with a new simple out-of-the-box installation process.

“Underneath the sleek exterior is a rugged workhorse that when coupled with our Simphony and Payments Cloud solutions, becomes a reliable, powerful hub at the heart of a restaurant’s operation.”
