Yes, during the summer people venture out, plan vacations and depending on your region, the economy is bustling from tourism. The rise in temperature, sunny weather and happy activity can have a significant impact on restaurants who naturally benefit from the increase in people traffic. However, if you happen to be in a hot and humid environment, you're faced with a host of additional challenges: limited indoor seating, increased wait times, unhappy customers and empty patio seating. Most of the year, customers dining al fresco is a great way to ease the pressure in the main din- ing room and increase daily profits, but in the hottest, most humid part of sum- mer, everyone wants to sit in cool air conditioning. Normally this meant a sparse outdoor crowd until dusk but that no longer has to be the case. Thankfully, science and technology have a solution for those hot summer days. Misting tents and fans are nothing new, but soggy food does not seem to have caught on as a huge seller in restaurants. There is certainly a place for misting tents and fans; poolside cabanas, beach patio bars and anywhere where the expecta- tion of getting wet is accept- able. What do you do if your outdoor dining experience doesn't fit into any one of those categories? You turn to TurboCool™. Developed by Al Erturk, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of ANIKs Outdoor Comfort Solutions, TurboCool is a patented solution guaran- teed to keep you dry, while lowering the ambient temperature by 10 to 15 degrees in humid environments and as much as 30 degrees in arid environments. "Simply put, TurboCool is unlike anything you have ever seen," says Al Erturk. "You can be three feet away from one of our patented TurboCool ports and you just don't get wet." TurboCool is manufactured in the United States and uses a combination of patented tech- nologies to ensure complete evaporation. Available in white or black aluminum cabinets (additional colors are a paid option), TurboCool can be wall, post or ceiling mounted in addition to recessed installation in new construction. If you are looking to increase per table revenue in your outdoor dining area during those hot summer days and keep your customers happy and coming back, TurboCool is the ideal solution. Parmacotto: The Gourmet Cold Cut & Meat Brand, Now Available in the United States There is a new player in the American food market. You may have heard of Parmacotto, the gourmet cold cut and meat brand, 100 percent made in Italy. The famous Italian brand will be avail- able soon at U.S. retailers. Parmacotto originated in Parma, Italy, world renowned for the Italian Food Valley, a popular tourist destination where people from all over the globe visit to taste the delicious flavors of Italian cuisine. Despite the new launch, Parmacotto's core values will always remain the same: utilizing top quality ingredients that are sourced and manufactured in Italy. Parmacotto recently completed an acquisition of the U.S. salami distributor brand Cibo Italia, LLC, now entitled Parmacotto, LLC. The new business ven- ture will continue to focus on the produc- tion of cooked ham (prosciutto cotto). Parmacotto, SpA, founded in 1978 in Parma, Italy, controls 70 percent of the business. The remaining 30 percent of the LLC is owned by the founding mem- bers of Cibo Italia, LLC, Larry Saia and Alessandro Sità, who are now respective- ly President and Chief Executive Officer of Parmacotto, LLC. Cibo Italia, LLC was established 10 years ago in the United States. Known for its famous Italian "salumeria" (cold cuts and cured meats), Cibo Italia has the knowledge of the U.S. market, selling to both large-scale retailers and traditional delicatessens. It comes as no surprise that Parmacotto decided to acquire the like- minded brand. Parmacotto, LLC aims to reach an annual growth of 25 percent within the next three years, with a target turnover of $20 million by 2020. "We have decided to focus on the U.S. market because it presents sig- nificant opportunities for the development of our products. In terms of positioning and distribu- tion, our investment in Cibo Italia aims to create synergies with the American market," stated Andrea Schivazappa, Chief Executive Officer of Parmacotto, SpA. "Thanks to our know-how, today we are at an important milestone: the intro- duction of a brand in the American mar- ket, a brand made of history and quality, that will respond to the consumers' expectations. We will focus on the intro- duction of Parmacotto products (cooked and roasted ham) in the deli area and as pre-sliced products for retail shelves. The heritage of this brand will be the true ambassador, our 100 percent made in Italy products," said Alessandro Sità, Chief Executive Officer of Parmacotto, LLC. Parmacotto is recog- nized worldwide for the great attention it dedicates to quality, nutritional prop- erties of its products, and its constant commitment to research and development. With an impressive consol- idated turnover of 72 million euros in 2018, Parmacotto, LLC is confident that the brand will continue their success in the America market. In addition to cooked ham, which represents the core business of the company, Parmacotto can offer a wide range of products: from tra- ditional salamis to ready-to-eat cold cuts. Parmacotto will be presenting at the Summer Fancy Food trade show in booth #2669 and at IDDBA in booth #5719. To learn more about Parmacotto and the U.S. launch, visit www.parmacotto.com.

Soft Coffee Pods: Leading Single Cup Alternative Over the last few years, single-cup coffee makers have gone mainstream and become a staple in offices and restaurants across the country. These popular machines use specially made capsules with pre-measured levels of coffee grounds in order to brew anywhere from a single cup to a whole carafe of fresh coffee. However, these capsules aren't without drawbacks, and many sophisti- cated coffee drinkers are choosing new, soft coffee pods over traditional plastic capsules. Soft pods are sweeping the nation because they incorporate traditional brew methods in their brewing process. Instead of harming the environment, the waste produced makes the world better. Soft coffee pods require a brew mech that is specially molded to secure the pod during extraction, like Newco's CX Touch or Fresh Cup Touch. Soft cof- fee pods are designed to make one cup at a time, but are made with far fewer mate- rials. Instead of a hard plastic shell, most pods are entirely made up of paper or silk, which is sealed in a foil packet to lock in freshness. Their flat, disc-like shape also increases the surface area for water to come into contact with the coffee grounds. This means more flavor and aroma is extracted from the grounds, improving the overall quality of each cup. Soft coffee pods are fully recyclable and even com- postable. This means that the pods not only break down naturally, but also provide the surrounding soil with nutrients in the process. There are no plastic cups to throw away, or compo- nents to separate. In fact, there are several creative ways to dispose of your recyclable coffee pods and benefit the environment, such as tilling them into your gar- den or adding them to your compost bin. The future of single cup brew- ing is here. Newco is helping its customers succeed – one cup at a time. For more than 40 years, it has pioneered brewing systems for coffee and tea that combine the latest technolo- gy and sleek styles.
