"Each year we manufacture our Ozark River Portable Sinks ® , we are amazed at the amount of compliance applications in the food and restaurant industry that busi- ness owners face each day their doors are open to the public. As each year passes, more compliance laws are enforced to protect the public from germs and bacte- ria. We are excited about manufacturing a stellar, practical product that helps the food and beverage business in such an impactful way," states Martin Watts, Chief Executive Officer of Ozark River Portable Sinks. Ozark River Portable Sinks are high quality, hot water, self-contained, mobile hand washing sinks for your staff or your customers to enjoy the luxury of washing their hands with fresh, hot water nearly anywhere required by state and local hand washing law. It's a hot water hand sink you can move and place wherever you want, as quickly as you want, and as often as you want. Businesses that use Ozark River ® include caterers, restau- rants, party planners, hospitality suites, farmer's markets, grocery stores, outdoor serving, food demonstration, waitress stations, classrooms, cafeterias and more. Watts discusses one of the innova- tive uses that was discussed at a recent tradeshow. "An owner of a multi-million dollar pizza restaurant chain saw our sinks at the NRA show in Chicago and immediately saw the application of use for his business. He made the investment in our sinks to reduce the wasted time running back and forth between the serv- ing counter and the wall-mounted hand sink. Employees had to walk over 20 steps each way over 82 times a shift, saving over 3,200 steps and over 54 minutes of wasted time per employee per shift. More time with cus- tomers means better cus- tomer service, greater sales and profits. What a tremendous value our sinks added to his bottom line." "With a 0.003 per- cent warranty replacement rate, you can see why our customers think we are the best portable sink on the market. You can physically see the attention to quality and recognize the value of the time we spend manufacturing this exceptional product with superior reliability," explains Watts. "Application and reliability are the most common issues discussed by customers. Once the need is recognized, the next step is which one of the over 65 models will fit their need and put them into com- pliance." Watts goes on to say, "Environmental health officials are just trying to do their job by making sure the public is safe from food-borne illnesses. It is actually a consider- able advantage for food and beverage businesses to keep their staff's hands free from bacteria and germs, as we all know food-sick customers will shut down an eating venue and destroy its reputation. We work closely with NEHA to better understand the compliance issues and design products that meet or exceeds the stringent NSF Certification, which in most cases satisfies the state and local hand washing law."

How to Pick the Best Option for On-Demand Product Labeling When it comes to the new regulations on product rotation labeling, there is simply no choice but to move to an automated option. Outdated colored dots and handwritten labels just don't cut the mustard when the food safety inspector knocks at your door. Printer options that are currently available range from a low of around $300 that connect to your computer and offer limited label options, to models priced in excess of $1000 forcing twice as many labels as needed and still lacking the flexibility. Determine exactly what your specif- ic needs are when selecting a model: sim- ple prep labels and product rotation? What's your storage environment: refrig- erated, moist or warm storage environ- ments? Remember to check your local health department as requirements change rapidly. In some areas of the country, not only is prep and expiration necessary, but product temperature at time of preparation as well. Compared to current product offer- ings, Integrated Control's i.Print series offers the best range of solutions to meet restaurant needs. Unlike other manufac- turers who force you to take two printers or versions that must be hooked up to a PC, the i.Print line offers three levels of printers, priced to suit your needs. They include: i.Print, Mini, i.Print and i.Print XL. These units offer on-demand label- ing printers that can be used for prep, product rotation and grab'n'go display labels with nutritional facts, ingre- dient lists and bar codes. i.Print offers more solu- tions than any manufac- turer. The low price point, i.Print, Mini offers features never seen before at a nominal investment. When shopping for a high-end unit, be sure to look for the following features: batch printing; product holding alarms; data collection and reporting; print to forecast data, calculated thaw times, extended time calculations, bar code scanning – for scan and print; tempera- ture device interface; multiple product print at the same time; custom label design capability and custom reporting. For enterprise solutions, push down menu changes are both use- ful and necessary. The i.Print series holds a patented inter- face that communicates to your entire enterprise at the store level in a matter of sec- onds. There are also models that feature remote printing capability and several stand alone and mounting options. As labor rates increase, time spent in the kitchen is more valuable than ever. The time it takes to remember a holding time and hand write a label has become cumbersome, expensive and obsolete, but most importantly, prone to negli- gence. Combine the costs of labor and food waste and the liability of a health department fine; the choice seems clear. Those who have purchased on-demand label printers find that ROI is often less than three months.
