ATLANTA, March 9, 2004 - As it prepared for the peak holiday season this winter, Muvico Theaters went live with a complete foodservice solution from Radiant Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ:RADS) for concession operations at its Parisian 20 megaplex in West Palm Beach, Florida. By delivering its leading foodservice solution to the entertainment industry, Radiant is enabling theaters to model concession operations after the foodservice industry's best practices. For Muvico, the results are improved speed and convenience for guests while theater managers have an enhanced ability to effectively manage food costs, inventory, labor, and pricing and promotions.

"We've recently been through one of the industry's busiest holiday seasons ever," said Mark Ciolko, Muvico's director of food and beverage. "Radiant's foodservice solution performed very well and helped us serve our guests efficiently throughout the tremendous surge in volume we experienced."

In addition to providing a unique blend of exciting and memorable architecture, comfortable oversized seating, and exceptional customer service, Muvico has long been a leader in raising the bar on innovative theater amenities to ensure an unparalleled movie-going experience.

"Muvico's goal is to indulge its guests with a vivid and fun environment for viewing films while pampering them with unique conveniences, including a very high-quality foodservice offering," continued Ciolko. "Radiant's technology helps us to provide exceptional service and offerings at the concession stand as part of the total entertainment experience we promise guests. And the system gives us the insight and flexibility to operate concessions as a highly-effective foodservice business that meets our customers' high expectations."

With the new system, Muvico is realizing immediate benefits that drive profitability. With real-time reporting capabilities, site managers can actively manage food costs. The system also enables more accurate invoicing, allowing Muvico to discover and correct costly discrepancies. In addition, Radiant's Kitchen Production System, which is integrated with the point-of-sale, enables foodservice staff to efficiently handle high customer volume. The staff can quickly see patrons' orders on a monitor, prepare food and drinks, and serve patrons with greatly enhanced speed.

"Muvico continues to be one of the industry leaders in terms of using innovation to support its vision of providing the best in service and comfort to patrons," said Chris Lybeer, president of the Radiant Entertainment Division. "We are proud that Muvico has selected Radiant as a partner in this vision. We've responded to their ideas and are putting them into action by delivering the most advanced foodservice solution available to the industry. We look forward to ongoing initiatives in partnership with Muvico to drive better service and improve per cap and profitability in its operations."
