Micros Systems, Inc., was an American computer company who manufactured hardware and developed software and services for the restaurant point of sale, hotel, hospitality, sports and entertainment venues, casinos, cruise lines, specialty retail markets and other similar markets.[3] Analyst estimates cited in 2003 put Micros' market share at about 35% of the restaurant point-of-sale business.[4] Independently active from 1978 to 2014, Micros is now owned by Oracle Corporation and renamed Oracle Food and Beverage and Oracle Hospitality (two of the global business units at Oracle Corporation). Micros was headquartered in Columbia, Maryland, United States, and the current business unit it still based there.
On June 23, 2014, Oracle Corporation announced its intent to purchase Micros Systems for $68 per share in cash for a total value of approximately $5.3 billion.[5]
