TRIPHEN TECHNOLOGIES PROVIDES COMPLETE IT SOLUTIONS By Zohrab Gyunashyan, CEO, Triphen Technologies Inc. Triphen Technologies has been in busi- ness for 10 years. Originally called POS Solutions Inc., it was founded to provide point of sale solutions to restaurant and hospitality operators. It was started by a group of business and technology mind- ed partners and, as it grew, the need for additional technology solutions to help grow customers' businesses became apparent. The company then made the decision to change its name to "Triphen Technolgies" to better represents its full offerings. Now, Triphen focuses on pro- viding full IT solutions for the hospitali- ty industry, with its core being a point of sale system which gathers the informa- tion, along with integrated solutions and services to help interpret the information. Many think that having a point of sale system at their establishment is enough to help grow and manage their businesses. Through experience and extensive knowledge of technology and the hospitality business, the Triphen group knows that a point of sale system is only a tool needed in order to gather information. What is done with this information is what really makes or breaks a restaurant business in an increasingly competitive market where more fail than succeed. This is why Triphen Technologies does not stop at providing the systems, it goes beyond the point of sale system to incorporate addi- tional reporting tools, business communi- cation and collaboration tools, and an expert knowledge in what data to analyze and how to interpret that data. Triphen Technolgies takes a "consul- tative approach to service" that is unmatched in the point of sale industry. By understanding the fast paced technol- ogy industry, Triphen knows what's on the horizon and what technologies help a business or hinder it. Triphen prides itself on never attempting to sell more than a customer needs. The belief here is to be customer-centric and provide what cus- tomers need to succeed; nothing more and nothing less.

FRYLOW EXTENDS FRYING OIL LIFE TO CUT COSTS WHILE ENHANCING FOOD QUALITY Cut your frying oil costs while improving food quality, taste, appear- ance and flavor with Frylow, the per- fect solution to the rising costs of deep-frying oil. Not a filter or a chem- ical additive, Frylow's patented photo- catalytic ceramic technology uses no electricity and is easy to install. It's suitable for use in all deep fryers and extends the fry oil's lifespan by up to 150 percent. Too good to be true? No, indeed! Frylow has been tested and certified as food-safe. Highly reputable laborato- ries including, NSF International, Japan Food Research Laboratories, and CERAM Research have independ- ently confirmed that Frylow is safe for use in your fryer. The unit contains absolutely no toxic substances and will not leach anything into the hot cooking oil. Oil quality and oil life can be affected by many different actions or in-actions such as filtering, cooking temperature and how you take care of your oil and what kind you use, among other factors. In addition, your oil is subjected to thermal and oxidative stresses as your fryer use fluctuates through the course of a day as your customers' orders come into the kitchen. These stresses to the oil will affect the range of absorption into the food. Did you know that oil absorption into your food can vary up to 25 per- cent, or even more, when cooked in stressed oil? You want to be offering your cus- tomers food that's healthy for them to eat, and you want to do that without breaking the bank. While there are many ways to extend oil life, such as filtering, proper care of your fryer, etc., until now there hasn't been a trust- ed method to increase the oil's life and thereby help cut oil costs, especially while improving the food quality, THE EZ GRIP FRY BASKET: GRAB IT, GRIP IT, LOVE IT Unlike many kitchen hazards that are easily visible, ergonomic hazards impact workers over time and are not immediately recognized as harmful. If you've ever slung fried food as a part of your job, then you know how much of a toll a food-laden basket can take on the wrist or forearm. A load of fries in a basket might only weigh five pounds; however, the force on the hand can be 15 to 18 pounds, due to handle length and the distance the hand is from the center of gravity of the basket. The cur- rent flat handle design of most fry bas- kets makes them awkward to hold, especially when filled. Turning the bas- ket to dump its contents is not as easy as it should be, and over time the user feels unnecessary fatigue. FMP's new EZ Grip Fry basket han- dle is an innovation in kitchen ergonom- ics. The vinyl-coated handle is designed to better fit the natural shape of the hand when gripping. This physiological differ- ence means less squeezing, which trans- lates to reduced stress on the hand, wrist and forearm. The improved grip also pro- vides better leverage when turning the basket to dump its contents. The FMP line of fry baskets includes the EZ Grip basket, which is a regular fry basket with a vinyl-coated EZ Grip han- dle, and the EZ Grip Plus, which, along with the innovative handle, comes with a patented corner reinforcement and a dou- ble front hook. These features add signif- icant durability to the EZ Grip Plus and allow the manufacturer to offer a two- year guarantee on the life of the basket.
