R e s t a u r a n t D a i l y N e w s S u n d a y, M a y 2 2 , 2 0 1 6 4 0 SKECHERS DIRECT CORPORATE SHOE PROGRAM OFFERS INCREDIBLE BENEFITS FOR YOU & YOUR EMPLOYEES Are you tired of costly slip-and-falls? Are you frustrated with your current shoe pro- gram? The SKECHERS Direct Corporate Shoe Program is the answer. This program is cost-free with no minimum purchasing requirements or setup fees – your employ- ees 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 over 450 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 National Sales Manager Harold Surabian. The SKECH- ERS Direct pro- gram is available to companies with 100 or more employees and who are based in the United States or Canada. The program offers employees a year-round 30 percent discount on SKECHERS slip-resistant work shoes and corporate casual styles. All of the SKECHERS slip-resistant shoes are ASTM Mark II tested to meet or exceed a coefficient of friction of 0.50 or greater. Included in the program is its $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, walk- ing shoes, running shoes and even golf shoes (save 30 percent off on over 3,000 great styles). Should you choose to participate, you may also offer your employees a payroll deduction program for their shoe purchases, 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.

PREVENT FIRES IN YOUR RESTAURANT FROM GETTING OUT OF HAND – AUTOMATICALLY With your kitchen operating at full throttle, grease will build up in your hoods, flues and fans. This poses a great fire risk to your business. Most restau- rant fires start at the grill or fryer. Keeping your hood and flues consis- tently clean is crucial to a safe and effi- cient operation. To reduce the risk of a catastrophic fire, Restaurant Technologies has designed the Automist System to clean automatically every day through a spray mixture of degreaser and water. AutoMist is an automated hood, flue and fan clean- er designed to eliminate the hazardous buildup of grease in your foodservice kitchen. It's such a breakthrough that it was selected as a Kitchen Innovation Award Winner by NRA judges this year and will be rolling out across the U.S. in select markets from September this year. Stop by booth #9133 in the Lakeside Center across the bridge – or stop by the Kitchen Innovations Award winners pavilion in the South Hall to see a live working demonstration of Automist in its booth. Traditional hood and flue cleaners send in a cleaning crew on a quarterly or semi-annual basis. They shut down your kitchen to scrape or power wash grease buildup with harsh chemicals, often leav- ing more mess and damage to equipment. The day after they leave, the grease begins to build up again – along with the fire risk. The AutoMist system eliminates the need for these costly, messy cleanups by automating the cleaning process – every day. AutoMist cleans your hoods, flues and fans every day. By installing sprayers along the hood and up the flue to the exhaust fan, every nook and cranny gets cleaned. The delivery system that con- tains the degreaser controls when clean- ing is initiated, meaning you don't have to think about it. The best part? You don't have to shut your restaurant down when it's time to clean. Restaurant Technologies has over 23,000 customers across the whole United States, including many of the largest names: Applebee's, Chili's, Marriott, Burger King, Hyatt, KFC and over 70 percent of all the McDonald's in the U.S. have chosen to put in its oil sys- tem for safety, food quality, sustainabili- ty and efficiency. AutoMist minimizes fire risk every day in your restaurant by keeping the hood, flue and fan area clean. With daily automatic cleanings, grease is no longer gradually building up between cleanings. This keeps your restaurant and everyone in it safe. For more information, stop by booth #9133 or go to www.rti-inc.com.

PEREG GOURMET EXTENDS LINE OF GLUTEN-FREE FLOUR OFFERINGS WITH SIX NEW VARIETIES A growing number of nutritious and gluten-free alternatives to white flour are now available to consumers, as the gluten-free market continues to grow. Pereg Gourmet has added six new varieties to its already successful offering of gluten-free quinoa flour: almond flour, banana flour, buckwheat flour, chickpea flour, coconut flour and farro flour. All, except for farro, are gluten-free, and all are 100 percent natural, non-dairy and certified kosher. They are packaged in 16-ounce re- sealable stay-fresh bags, retailing for about $3.99. "According to industry statistics, sales of gluten-free products will exceed 15 billion dollars by 2016, twice the amount of five years earlier. Pereg is pleased to introduce an extended choice of gluten-free and ancient grain flour types, which offer more variety and options for delicious, healthful cooking and baking," says Gill Schneider, Pereg Gourmet President. "Our growing list of gluten-free options has been a gift for many children on restricted diets, who can now enjoy eating pizza, cookies and cakes as their friends do, with our white-flour alterna- tives," adds Schneider. Since many white flour alternatives are new to the market, consumers should familiarize and experiment with the properties and uses for these flours, so that they can select the one best suited for each baking application. As consumers learn how to use these flours, they can remake their favorite foods without com- promising taste and texture. In fact, they add essential vitamins, minerals, protein and fiber to baked goods, fortifying America's diet in flavorful ways. In addition to Pereg's extended line of gluten-free flours, Pereg offers a full line of quinoa products (quinoa pasta, quinoa pops cereal and pre-seasoned quinoa side dishes), as well as premium spices, ancient grains, salad toppings and spreads. Pereg Gourmet was established in 1906, and is a family-owned business, based in Clifton, New Jersey. All Pereg products are healthful, certified kosher, dairy and lactose-free as well as all natu- ral, with no additives or preservatives. Many are also certified whole grains, gluten-free and non-GMO.
