professionals. Hundreds of food service directors were consulted and their suggestions were<br />
combined with the Horizon team’s vast experience and knowledge to develop the finest, most<br />
comprehensive product of its kind for school food service management. The product is called<br />
B.O.S.S. which is an acronym for Back Office Software Solution. B.O.S.S. is an appropriate<br />
name because the system is truly a solution for any school food service management problem.In<br />
1998, due to customer requests and other factors, Horizon added “FastLane”, a state-of-the-art<br />
point of sale system, to their product offering. The FastLane point of sale system utilizes “cutting<br />
edge” technology with touch screen and picture I.D. capabilities using actualWindows®-based<br />
computers as POS terminals. The FastLane addition enabled Horizon the ability to offer a<br />
complete “turnkey” solution to the food service industry. In 1999, Horizon opened the newly<br />
constructed national headquarters in suburban Atlanta. This ergonomically designed 15,000<br />
square foot complex has considerable office space, conference and training rooms to<br />
accomodate the national staff and provide our customers a comfortable training environment.<br />
Further expansion continued with another regional office and training facility opening in Las<br />
Vegas. To help provide better service to our west coast customers, the Las Vegas office has<br />
proven to be a convenient location for advanced system training and support.In 2000, Horizon’s<br />
workforce nearly doubled as we acquired several school food service companies. These “former<br />
competitors” are now part of the Horizon family and include Lunchcruncher, McFall and<br />
Associates (the Cricket system), and Innovative Concepts One (ICO). Over the last two years,<br />
we have completed the additional construction of our corporate headquarters by adding a<br />
warehouse, more office space and training rooms. This expansion has more than doubled the<br />
size of our corporate facility to a total of 38,000 square feet. Horizon’s basic philosophy has<br />
been, and continues to be, as follows:1. To provide the best customer service in the industry, bar<br />
none!2. To provide the highest quality products in the industry, bar none!3. To maintain fair<br />
prices, while providing superior customer service and products.Horizon backs up its philosophy<br />
with its money, devoting approximately 45% of their resources to customer solutions, 30% to<br />
research and development, 15% to sales and marketing and 10% to administration.Horizon has<br />
invested thousands of hours and millions of dollars over a period of years to develop its software<br />
system. The entire Horizon team is very proud of their company and the excellent systems that<br />
they have developed. They are determined to maintain a leadership role in the industry by<br />
continuing to improve B.O.S.S. and FastLane daily through the innovation of powerful technology,<br />
superior enhancements and excellent new products that are innovative, easy to use and are<br />
offered at competitive prices.<br />
