Restaurant Daily News Sunday, May 19, 2019 1 0 Benefits of the SKECHERS Direct Corporate Shoe Program Are you tired of costly slip-and-falls? Are you frustrated with your current shoe program? The SKECHERS Direct Corporate Shoe Program is the answer. This program is cost-free with no mini- mum purchasing requirements or setup fees – your employees buy direct from SKECHERS and save. SKECHERS will put together a cus- tom ecommerce site and will customize the selection based on your company's uniform policy. Your employees can pur- chase shoes online with free shipping and free returns or by shopping at any of the 500-plus SKECHERS retail stores in the United States and Canada. "This cost-free program has some incredible benefits and will provide your employees with a substantial discount on safe, comfortable and durable trend-right footwear resulting in improved worker safety, morale and overall efficiency," says Harold Surabian, National Sales Manager. The SKECHERS Direct program is available to companies with 200 or more employees and who are based in the United States or Canada. The program offers employees a year-round 30 per- cent discount on SKECHERS slip- resistant work shoes and corporate casual styles. All of the SKECHERS slip-resis- tant shoes are ASTM Mark II tested to meet or exceed a coefficient of friction of 0.50 or greater. Included in the program is SKECH- ERS $5,000 Slip and Fall Warranty that helps protect your company from costly slip-and-falls. In addition, employees will benefit from SKECHERS Quarterly Friends and Family Days events on shoes for the entire family, including kids' shoes, walking shoes, running shoes and even golf shoes (30 percent off on over 3,000 great styles). Should you choose to participate, you may also offer your employees a pay- roll deduction program for their shoe pur- chases, which would enable them to spread the cost of their shoes over multi- ple paychecks. This part of the program is entirely optional for the employer, and you need not offer a payroll deduction plan to enable your employees to enjoy all the other benefits of the SKECHERS Direct Corporate Shoe Program. For more information, visit the SKECH- ERS Direct Booth in the South Hall at booth #3126. After the show, call Harold Surabian at 310.318.3100, ext. 1860 or email haroldsu@skechers.com. TransAct Technologies Introduces BOHA! TransAct ® Technologies Incorporated, a global leader in software-driven tech- nology and printing solutions for high- growth markets, announced the launch of BOHA!™, a comprehensive ecosys- tem of cloud-based SaaS apps and hardware solutions that will revolution- ize how restaurant and food service companies manage their back-of-house operations. BOHA! is the first single- vendor solution to combine applica- tions for inventory management, tem- perature monitoring of food and equip- ment, food safety labeling, food recalls, checklists and procedures, equipment service management and delivery management in a single plat- form. Each BOHA! solution combines cloud-based SaaS applications with hardware and accessories to deliver superior results for critical back-of- house operations. BOHA! offers a one- stop solution for restaurants and food- service companies to address their cur- rent back-of-house operating require- ments while providing a future-ready platform capable of addressing back- of-house operations as they continue to evolve. Bart C. Shuldman, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of TransAct Technologies, said, "The launch of our new BOHA! SaaS-based software and hardware ecosystem marks a signifi- cant milestone for TransAct and the restaurant and foodservice industry. For the first time, operators can deploy a full, sin- gle-vendor suite of integrated software applications and hardware solutions to automate their back-of-house opera- tions. Given the priority placed on hav- ing employees deliver the best cus- tomer experience in an environment with rising food and labor costs, all restaurant and food service companies are focused on adding automation and reducing administrative tasks in their back-of-house operations to increase efficiency and lower costs. "Over the last several years, we have spent considerable time working with operators across the industry, including in their kitchens, to determine how best to help them address these critical needs. One of our key learnings was that restau- rant and foodser- vice operators want to simplify their processes with a single platform, single portal solution that provides the highest level of relevant features and functionality while eliminating the com- plexity of managing multiple software and hardware products from multiple vendors. The result of our tireless efforts is the development of BOHA!, an inno- vative range of products that can address what we believe is a large opportunity to offer automated solutions that streamline critical back-of-house processes. With BOHA!, TransAct is uniquely positioned to deliver a comprehensive ecosystem of cloud-based SaaS apps, hardware and accessories." For more information, visit booth #6657.
