Vice President Collegiate Dining Services Says Barrington Software CookenPro Has Features Not Available Elsewhere 

Barrington, IL/EWORLDWIRE/August 30, 2002 --- Bob Love said today, “We worked with Barrington Software to develop features that we could not find elsewhere even in far more expensive software”, referring to the CookenPro 3.0 releases July 25, 2002. 

Mr. Love, Vice President, Operations and Special Projects, Collegiate Dining Services, went on to say, “CookenPro 3.0 helps to organize a kitchen by providing recipe work lists with properly up scaled ingredients." 

“Easy communication of data also provides support for corporate to make a menu plan and then easily distribute it to customer sites.” 

A Home and Commercial version of the product are available.

CookenPro 3.0 Commercial is a complete, effective back-office food service application. It provides recipe and menu management, costing, nutritional analysis, automated purchase order generation, and receivables management. The feature that Mr. Love referred to is a “caterer’s list”, or the ability to print all of the recipes in a menu plan with their extended ingredients with a click. CookenPro features easy communication of data, including entire menu plans. Recipes and ingredients are seamlessly included when a menu plan is communicated to another computer.

The new CookenPro 3.0 Home Version has many of the same features as the Commercial version, including the “caterer’s list”, making it ideal for entertaining. The nutrition analyzer, based on the U.S. Department of Agriculture Nutrient Database Release 14, allows for easy nutritional analysis and is ideal for consumers or for wellness and nutrition clinics. 

Easy communication of data enables Barrington Software to provide support to its Commercial customers as they build their database. Barrington Software is also able to build the entire database for a customer for a modest fee if data are provided in electronic form.

CookenPro 3.0 runs under Windows 95, Windows 98, and Windows NT 4.0 Workstation, Windows 2000, Windows ME, and Windows XP. 

CookenPro 3.0 can be purchased online at www.cooken.com. Buyers use Barrington Software’s advanced online ordering system with a secure server.
