press release from Lawson -- Rainforest Cafe, a $108 million restaurant/retail chain, develops, owns and operates combination restaurant/retail stores with an entertaining rain forest theme. As one of the fastest growing restaurant/retail chains in the U.S., they plan on doubling the number of stores in 1998. Because of their aggressive construction schedule of opening new stores, it was critical that Rainforest implement core financial applications in a quick timeframe. They were especially interested in utilizing Lawson's Activity Based Management module to monitor ongoing construction activities and because of their international expansion, it was critical to have core financial applications that could handle foreign currency and multiple companies. Rainforest held their first kick-off meeting for implementing Lawson's financial suite in April 1997, and went live only four months later.
