C o n v e n i e n c e R e t a i l e r S h o w D a i l y 4 1 M o n d a y, O c t o b e r 1 2 , 2 0 1 5 Fuel for Clover turns any First Data Clover Station, Clover Mobile or Clover Mini into a full service POS solution for retail petroleum business- es. Fuel allows petroleum retailers to sell petroleum as well as alternative fuels. First Data's Clover Solution also allows petroleum businesses to accept a variety of in-store payments such as EMV and NFC, including Apple Pay and Android Pay, and traditional mag- netic stripe credit cards. The seamless integration of food and fuel sales allows for an unmatched customer experience, increased business opera- tions efficiency and greater clarity and visibility into store profitability for petroleum retailers. "In my many years in the technol- ogy industry I have never seen any- thing like Clover. With its market-lead- ing secure features, EMV capabilities and sleek, intuitive design, Clover was a key driver in the development of Fuel," said Joshua Smith, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of FBP. "For way too long, retail petroleum technol- ogy has been based on antiquated and absurdly expensive technology plat- forms that leave merchants stranded for hours, even days, when the systems fail. When stores are shut down because of system failure, merchants can lose thousands of dollars in sales, and more importantly, the hard earned trust of their community." "Blue Energy Fuels is excited about the launch of the Fueling Clover app because it will change the way the indus- try handles retail petroleum sales," said Clover (Cont'd. from p. 1) Tom Sewell, President of Blue Energy Fuels. "Fuel for Clover is on the cutting edge of technology and we are thrilled to be a part of it." "Fuel for Clover is a petroleum retailers best friend," stated Mark Schulze, Head of the Clover App Market. "The ability to seamlessly inte- grate food and fuel sales will improve customer service and redefine how petroleum retailers operate their busi- nesses." Starting at $3,999.95, Fuel is a frac- tion of the cost of competitive systems, and is the perfect solution for the tens of thousands of fuel retailers all across America.

This new line provides a distinct and unique offering for consumers already pur- chasing within the sparkling beverage category. Research shows that many consumers are already adding limes to their beverages at home, and 83 per- cent of consumers polled have identi- fied Sparkling Fruit2O Lime Twists as a product they would drink all year long. These attractive 17-ounce bottles are packed 12 units per case and deliv- ered to stores through a national net- work of DSD partners.

KD: I bought my first car wash in 1981, and learned, and continue to learn, about the business firsthand as a car wash oper- ator. I launched Innovative Control Systems in 1988, offering business solu- tions to help car wash operators be more successful. Over that time, business mod- els and management requirements have changed. ICS is leading the development and evolution of the car wash market- place. We have 120 committed employ- ees between our Pennsylvania and Irvine, California facilities. Our market has expanded to include North America, Australia and Europe. CRSD: ICS has been expanding its pro- file in the convenience and fuel retailing space. What do you provide? KD: We've been fortunate in working with successful c-store operators who have helped us understand their unique needs. Together we have learned how effective it is to use the car wash to cross- market other categories such as coffee, beverages, loyalty and credit cards pro- grams, and to acquire, retain and recog- nize customers. For example, wouldn't it be great to have an Auto Sentry payment terminal streaming video explaining your loyalty program to every customer exactly the way you want it presented? The market- ing tools can educate your customers and drive business to the other categories on your property. WashConnect, our real-time, multi- site, car wash management solution, pro- vides much more than real-time manage- ment statistics. It delivers full network visibility. If a car wash has a service issue, you will know it instantly via email. Each component in every device is tracked, events logged and statistically analyzed to provide superior diagnostic tools and maximize uptime. At the office or on the golf course, Innovative Control Systems (Cont'd. from p. 1) real-time management information is available to you on your PC, tablet and phone. ICS offers more than just a car wash selection kiosk for c-store opera- tors. WashConnect is all about network management, cross-marketing, customer loyalty and management information to improve uptime, build stronger customer relationships and to drive earnings. CRSD: What are you doing to stay ahead of the EMV, Chip and PIN, PCI- Compliance and credit card payment lia- bility shift? KD: ICS has have been preparing for the liability shift for more than two years. There has been a lot of confusion, but it is very clear that car wash terminals fall under the October 1, 2015 liability shift. We strongly believe that an EMV solu- tion complemented by validated point-to- point encryption offers car wash opera- tors and their customers the best possible solution. Although hardware cost is initially higher than magnetic stripe, the compli- ance costs go down significantly. It also tells your customers that you care about them. You are not just compliant, but are providing the maximum security possible to safeguard their cardholder data. Can you imagine suffering a data breach at your company? The media coverage would be catastrophic to your future. CRSD: Any further thoughts on ICS and the convenience store industry? KD: ICS is all about helping our cus- tomers succeed. We understand that our customers' success is based on delivering a consistent, sustainable and exceptional customer experience to the motorist. In the end, ICS's growth is driven by our customers becoming more successful. For more information, visit booth #7406, call 800.642.9396 or go to www .icscarwashsystems.com. Eloma tackles this challenge bril- liantly with its new GENIUSMT C combi steamer. With a footprint of just four square feet, the stackable GENIUSMT C's precisely regulated mix of convection and steam cooking can fry, bake, steam, grill, broil and more in the same unit at the swipe of a finger. An optional, self-contained hood system makes it even easier to install the GENIUSMT C in a small space or to add a hot food menu to a convenience store. Despite its diminu- tive size, the Eloma GENIUSMT C includes all the features and capabili- ties of its full-sized brethren. The key to Eloma's ovens is the GENIUSMT C technology. The oven's high-resolution touch screen is as easy to use as a smartphone. The versatile MultiTouch panel allows users to control the unit's cooking settings with a touch or a finger swipe. The oven's programming includes 400 cooking and baking recipes with pictures including a "Last 20" func- tion so the meals cooked most often can be recalled in a flash. "With the 'Last 20' cook mode, you Foodservice kitchen (Cont'd. from p. 1) don't have to fiddle with individual set- tings," Eloma North America President Thomas Stegmaier says. "You just select the item with a touch and start the recipe over again." Because of the GENIUSMT C's easy programmability, a convenience retail chain can develop recipes centrally and deploy them to individual stores. The GENIUSMT C was designed to simplify cooking, but also to make it more efficient. The first is by cooking most items 30 to 50 percent faster than conventional cooking equipment. The GENIUSMT C also has autoclean ® MT, a fully automatic cleaning system that saves cleaning time, uses minimal water and eliminates the need to touch cleaning chemicals. Unlike other combi ovens and steamers, Eloma doesn't have a boiler, so there is no buildup of damaging limescale to clean. The GENIUSMT C also saves costs because it is exceptionally energy effi- cient and allows for a saving of up to 16 percent on energy and 42 percent on water usage.
