INTEGRATED CONTROL CORP.: 25 YEARS OF FRESH IDEAS Integrated Control Corp. celebrates 25 years as a global leader in the field of food service technology solutions, providing fresh ideas to restaurants, hotels, schools, hospitals and quick-serve restaurants. Like many start-ups, Integrated Control Corp. (ICC) began in the base- ment of founders, Roberta and Mark Salerno's home in 1987. Back then, early control products consisted of simple embedded systems which were quickly finding themselves into many commercial applications. Over the years, together they have designed and developed control applications for a host of products from treadmills to pizza ovens. It was in the late '90s that ICC met with industry leader Burger King to help them develop what other companies said couldn't be done, a product management system for their restaurants. Ten years later, this system is in every Burger King in the world render- ing ICC the experts in product manage- ment. Today, they are actively working with several brands in the development and release of product systems customized for their specific operating needs. Roberta, President/CEO along with husband Mark, Chief Technical Wizard, lead a team that work closely with each brand in understanding specific operating details and goals in the delivery of every solution. Roberta and Mark feel the key to their success has been the ability to combine operational and business objec- tives in providing client brands solutions that enhance product delivery and cus- tomer experience. They pride themselves on providing the right solution at the right price with easy-to-use devices for non-technical personnel to monitor time, temperature, cleanliness and product management that can increase food safe- ty, HACCP compliance and productivity while minimizing food loss. Integrated Control Corp. has remained true to the core mission of pro- viding outstanding technology solutions to the marketplace. As technology has evolved so has ICC with today's product portfolio offering many wireless, and cloud solutions that are both affordable and practical. ICC designs, manufac- tures, and markets innovative devices for non-technical personnel that enable the control of complex equipment and processes with less error, focusing on human factors with solutions that empha- size the reduction of time and cost. ICC maintains an impressive portfolio of patents and intellectual property achieve- ments in the food service industry. Global in scope, ICC's leading equip- ment brands have been translated into more than 24 different languages and installed in as many countries, include Product Quality Timers™, Kitchen Minder™, Temp Minder™, Label Minder 2™ and CCP Minder™. Most recently ICC has added offices in EMEA and plans are in place for Asia/Pac to fur- ther support international demands. Visit www.goicc.com for more information. HALTON MAKES THE SELF BALANCING KITCHEN A REALITY The award-winning M.A.R.V.E.L. Demand Ventilation Control system, already recognized as having the indus- try's fastest response time in reaction to changes in cooking activity, has been fur- ther enhanced to provide total ventilation system control. With demand control becoming the norm rather than the exception, manag- ing the changes in exhaust volumes and building pressure has been a challenge. The M.A.R.V.E.L. system is unique among DVC systems as it measures exhaust rates in each hood in real time. This capability allows for an accurate signal for incoming replacement air ensuring space balance as the system varies the exhaust during operation. As the majority of capture and con- tainment problems occur due to high velocity discharge from replacement air diffusers, the next logical step was to design and supply a diffuser for commer- cial kitchen use that maximizes air flow rates while minimizing thermal plume disruptions. No longer will designers have to rely on office building type dif- fusers, but can select from a series of high volume, low velocity diffusers that are appropriate for general supply and remote zones in kitchens. The system is self balancing and automatically adjusts exhaust air vol- umes and the appropriate makeup air requirement to each zone and/or hood, and delivers it in a way that does not interfere with the cooking operation. For the first time ever, the design team can provide a complete exhaust and air distri- bution system that is controlled in sync, and encompasses all the design criteria needed to excel in the commercial kitchen setting.

DAILYDONOR: THE 'SOCIAL IMPACT' PLATFORM THAT BOOSTS YOUR BOTTOM LINE After years of touting corporate responsi- bility and charitable giving that often- times have limited impact, local commu- nities have tuned out major brands who don't deliver—and it's not helping the bottom line. In all fairness, companies must manage a balancing act between being socially responsible and answering to their investors. That's no small task. That's where DailyDonor comes in. DailyDonor is a revolutionary way to increase sales and generate brand loyalty, while directly supporting local communities. It's what we call a win- win situation. Here's how it works. Using the DailyDonor smartphone app, we drive traffic directly to your busi- ness. Communities across the nation seek out your locations because they recognize that you're contributing directly to causes near and dear to their hearts. This isn't a deal-based app where you have to offer a deep dis- count that gouges your bottom line. It's tax-deductible charitable giving in exchange for sales. It's a big differ- ence. Parents, teachers and students choose your business, pay regular price for your service or product, and no doubt spend more because they know it's for a good cause: their own. Everybody wins. The long-term advantages of DailyDonor are significant. The app is not only easy to use, it's easy to share with others—and "word of mouth" is one of the most powerful marketing tools. DailyDonor's platform also simplifies the process of accepting and delivering donations, all 100 percent tax-deductible. Whether you choose to provide corporate donations as a means of transparency or appealing to a prevailing social con- science, giving back to local charities and communities not only makes customers happier it boosts company morale as well. What's more, getting DailyDonor members involved in the process not only makes them feel good, but it makes your brand look heroic as well. So you can feel good and look good at the same time. And not only within the local communi- ties your brand services, but across the nation as well. DailyDonor is the future of charita- ble contributions. Don't miss your oppor- tunity to change the world for the better, one sale at a time. Pre-register today at www.DailyDonor.com or visit DailyDonor at booth 9124 at the NRA Show 2013 to find out more.
