JTECH customers include Outback Steakhouse, Red Lobster, Romano's Macaroni Grill, Chili's Grill & Bar, Lone Star Steakhouse, Hard Rock Cafe, Longhorn Steakhouse, Applebee's, TGI Fridays, Ruby Tuesday and Best Buy.

"JTECH Communications is a solid tactical acquisition for MICROS," stated Tom Giannopoulos, Chairman and CEO of MICROS. "JTECH has a highly complementary product offering to MICROS and has been a strong MICROS business partner for several years. JTECH has many synergies with MICROS including a strong parallel in its served markets. We can immediately leverage the current customer base of both companies in the hospitality market, continue an expansion internationally, and expand in non-hospitality markets such as retail and healthcare."

"JTECH is very excited about the acquisition by MICROS," stated David Stokoe, President of JTECH Communications. "We have long admired MICROS's strength in the hospitality industry. MICROS's strong service and distribution network here in North America as well as its infrastructure internationally will greatly broaden JTECH's reach."
