  GetQuik Simplifies Corporate Ordering, Unveils Free QuikIt Catering Service for Bay Area Companies

  QuikIt Service Eliminates Hassle of Corporate Catering, Reduces Overhead
              Associated with Billing and Catering Management

    SANTA CLARA, Calif., Aug. 25 /PRNewswire/ -- GetQuik
(http://www.getquik.com), a provider of restaurant order automation
technology and services, today unveiled QuikIt, a free service that
simplifies the process for planning and coordinating corporate catering
orders.

    With QuikIt, authorized employees can efficiently organize and place
catering orders from over 200 restaurants and caterers using GetQuik's
easy-to-use online menus. Once the order is placed, an email confirmation
is sent with the order details. Additionally, corporate customers can work
with their dedicated GetQuik customer service representative to assist with
meal planning and order processing. GetQuik manages the order coordination
with the restaurant and catering merchants.

    Over the last nine months, GetQuik has rapidly expanded its corporate
customer base. "We have learned a lot from our early corporate customers,"
said Ken Ryu, GetQuik founder and CEO. "The new QuikIt service is designed
to help our corporate customers cut costs by significantly reducing the
administrative overhead associated with billing and catering management.
Using QuikIt, administrators and catering managers can simplify their
existing processes by implementing a system based on their specific needs
and requirements. For example, a company's catering administrator can setup
some basic rules such as the typical number of people served in a meal, the
percentage of the meal that should be vegetarian, food allergies and
dietary preferences, and the budget per person for meals."

    To help build team spirit and boost morale, a growing number of startup
and technology companies are offering free food to employees. "Last year, I
was tasked with heading up a dinner service for multiple engineering groups
at AMD," said Kathleen Bohle, Administrative Assistant at Advanced Micro
Devices. "I was lucky to have found GetQuik at that time. They helped me
kick off the program and made sure that we had the variety and reliability
required for our team. It's been a pleasure working with the GetQuik crew;
they have proven to be a great partner for this program."

    GetQuik Makes It Easy for Corporate Ordering

    GetQuik simplifies corporate catering with its order automation
technology that allows administrators to save time, regulate cost and
simplify existing processes using its online portal. GetQuik's QuikIt
service provides corporate customers an extensive network of restaurants
and caterers, as well as:

    Ordering tools -- features a suit of customizable tools to help
administrators implement a system based on specific needs and experience.

    Simplified accounting -- features consolidated billing options or
secured credit card transactions, provides administrators with complete
accounting and billing information, including online reports and email

    Customer support -- provides dedicated customer service representatives

    Online reporting tools -- enables administrators to run reports to

    Rewards Program -- customers earn towards GetQuik rewards when they

    Along with AMD, many other Silicon Valley companies such as Ruckus
Wireless, Tropos Networks and RGB Networks are working with GetQuik to help
streamline their catering orders.

    GetQuik has seen rapid revenue growth within the last six months and is
on track to surpass $2 million in transactions in 2008. With over 200
restaurants in the GetQuik network, GetQuik is adding new restaurants and
