Press Release Summary: The Ground Round Grill & Bar schedules wait staff, cooks,
bartenders, and hosts/hostesses with VSS Pro.

Press Release Body: FARGO, ND - April 18, 2008 - Visual Staff Scheduler Pro (VSS
Pro) restaurant scheduling software optimizes staff utilization at The Ground Round®
Grill & Bar. With VSS Pro, creating work schedules for servers, cooks, food
preparation staff, bartenders, or front desk employees is faster and more reliable
than using manual scheduling.

Since the Ground Round Grill & Bar started using VSS Pro scheduling software from
Atlas Business Solutions, Inc. (ABS) the restaurant managers were able to reduce the
time it takes to schedule their personnel by 50%. According to Matt Walkowiak,
General Manager at the Ground Round, managers now spend half the time they
previously needed to create and distribute work schedules. "Now, everyone stays
informed, and schedule changes are managed with ease," Walkowiak adds. VSS Pro
schedule planner software proved to be the right solution for the restaurant's
scheduling needs. "With VSS Pro, we can bring all requests for days off, sick days
and no-show notifications into one master schedule, and easily see how any changes
to the schedule impact shift coverage. This allows us to make better decisions when
it comes to approving time-off requests or calling in for additional staff,"
Walkowiak adds. Using VSS Pro scheduling software helps the Ground Round
significantly improve staff utilization. "With all of the scheduling information
easily accessible, we can better optimize our work assignments. We can make
adjustments quickly and move staff between shifts or different areas of
responsibility, instead of paying for idle hours," says Walkowiak. In addition to
better staff effectiveness, the Ground Round also improved internal communication,
as all supervisors have the ability to look in one place for up-to-date schedules
for all work areas. With Visual Staff Scheduler Pro, staff utilization at the Ground
Round is at its peak. "VSS Pro gives us everything we need to make sure our
customers are happy and our restaurant operates efficiently. I definitely recommend
VSS Pro scheduling software to other food services and catering businesses,"
Walkowiak concluded.
