ASHBURN, VA--(Marketwire - June 3, 2009) - GuestMetrics, Inc. (PINKSHEETS: [ GESM ]) is pleased to announce that the Company has provided The Nielsen Company, the world's leading marketing and media information company, with data collected through its GuestSnapshot™ Enterprise Reporting Tool in regards to alcoholic beverage consumer purchasing behavior in restaurants and bars during the first quarter of 2009 as compared to the first quarter of 2008. Nielsen used this data in a number of presentations to industry groups and others.

GuestMetrics' GuestSnapshot™ Enterprise Reporting Solution allows aggregation of sales data across multiple locations, as well as providing the ability to drill down to individual check level detail. GuestMetrics software captures very accurate data because it is not a sampling, but records actual sales. The data used represented sales of alcoholic beverages in Los Angeles, Chicago, New York, Washington, D.C., Atlanta and Miami. It further broke sales down by the type of alcoholic beverage (i.e. beer, spirits and wine).

"We are excited to have Nielsen, who, to many, is the Gold Standard for accurate information, sourcing our data in their beverage alcohol presentations. The industry needs to know if consumers are still dining out, and if so, what exactly they are buying in this tough economy. Companies like Nielsen are coming to us for these answers," stated Brian P. Barrett, President, CEO of GuestMetrics, Inc.
