Convenience Retailer Show Daily 4 5 Thursday, October 19, 2017 important for any manufacturer because they certify a company's commitment to sustainability and product performance. The publication of EPDs for each of its three hand dryers meant that Excel Dryer's products set yet another industry first. Published by UL Environment, a business division of Underwriters' Laboratories, Excel Dryer's EPDs were a groundbreaking development for the manufacturer and for the industry as a whole. This achievement effectively ush- ered in a new era of transparency among leading hand dryer manufacturers. On the road to its EPDs, Excel Dryer played a key role in leading the hand dryer industry toward a mandatory pre- requisite: the creation of Product Category Rules (PCR). These standard- ize industry testing and reporting meth- ods and are helpful for consumers, allow- ing them to compare and explore all sus- tainability aspects of competing products and make more informed product selec- Excel Dryer (Cont'd. from p. 1) tions. Publication of the hand dryer PCR represented not only an industry first, but the first global standard for any industry. To gain EPD certification, a manu- facturer's products also must go through cradle-to-grave testing with a Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) conducted by an independent third party. For this endeav- or, Excel Dryer worked with world- renowned sustainability consulting firm Quantis International to test its products and substantiate its environmental claims within ISO 14040 standards. Certainly, with the publication of EPDs for its products, Excel Dryer established new standards of transparen- cy and sustainability. However, from a broader perspective, the EPDs ensure that Excel Dryer will continue to set the tone among leading hand dryer manu- facturers by encouraging them to follow suit – a positive development for any industry.

These questions were the foundation of the research that ultimately developed Unique Energy. The objective became to create an energy beverage that provides a safe, sustainable feel good experience through cognitive enhancement without a crash. It begins with eliminating the five ingredients that are so prominently uti- lized in virtually every energy drink or supplement on the market (taurine, guarana, nicine, yohimbe and ginseng) combined with caffeine which have in many cases created physiological effects similar to an overdose. Unique Energy (Cont'd. from p. 1) After experimenting with many products in his kitchen, Chris came across Red Reishi mushroom, which has been used in Asia for more than 3,000 years as a medicinal supplement. It's considered a fountain of youth through- out Asia due to many potential benefits. Lastly, but maybe best of all, is Unique Energy Drink's flavor. Unique is a fruit-based flavor like nothing else on the market – amazing function and a beautifully flavored, enjoyable beverage – a drink that is built with health and hap- piness in mind.

Restaurant Technologies ensures your kitchen runs at optimal efficiency. Getting the best return on your oil investment and relat- ed fried food costs is critical to manag- ing any foodservice business. Through the implementation of standard operat- ing procedures for disposing of used oil and refreshing new oil, restaurants can drive the efficient use of fryer oil. These procedures help to increase effi- ciencies and improve ROI on oil investments. Restaurant Technologies' cus- tomers frequently experience a reduc- tion in oil usage of approximately 15 percent while decreasing oil spend by up to 20 percent and increasing oil and food quality. With its data management tools, these results are sustainable. Restaurants can expect: reduced labor costs associated with more efficient refilling of fryer vats; elimination of waste oil handling and packaging trash; elimination of repair and replacement costs for oil filtering and disposal equipment; reduction in new oil con- sumption through better oil manage- ment; and elimination of residual oil loss which remains in oil cartons. The web-based customer oil man- agement portal (TOM) provides managers with full visibility into oil data and employ- ees' compliance with standard operating procedures. Email alerts help identify when employees deviate from the process, helping to create best practices. With this knowledge, managers can identify immediate training and develop- ment opportunities. Restaurant Technologies provides free, ongoing consulting and training as needed to make sure that you and your employees get the most out of the service. A lockable disposal switch prevents premature oil disposal, and a subscrip- tion-based, high-efficiency filtration sys- tem (Fryer Filtration Monitoring) extends the usage potential of oil, removes food debris and improves food quality and con- sistency. With the sub- scription-based filtra- tion monitoring serv- ice, managers can define a schedule for expected filtration events. Should filtration events not be performed or performed off-schedule, managers are alerted. This allows man- agers to work with staff and verify that proper filtration procedures are followed to ensure efficient oil usage. With Restaurant Technologies' auto- mated oil management solution and mon- itoring technology, you can ensure your kitchen is running at optimal efficiency.

Comark Instruments Launches BT250KC Bluetooth Pocketherm with Kitchen Checks App Comark Instruments is continuing its commitment to raising the standards in HACCP and food safety with the launch of the new BT250KC Bluetooth Pocketherm with Kitchen Checks App. The BT250KC Bluetooth Pocketherm is fast, accurate and water- proof. The quick responding probe with a 1.5-mm tip folds out to allow you to choose the best angle to take different temperatures at different points in the kitchen such as prep, cooking or cooling. Use the BT250KC Kitchen Checks App to manage all of your HACCP tem- perature recording. It's a simple way to automate data collection and eliminates the need for handwritten temperature records and years of paper storage. Checklists within the app ensure all procedures are followed correctly and any non-compliances or critical control point variations are recorded and cor- rected. Via the cloud-based dashboard, you can immediately assess the implications of any incidents outside of pre-set param- eters or just analyze the data at a later time. The Bluetooth Pocketherm uses a thermocouple sensor to transmit temper- ature data via Bluetooth to your Android or iOS phone or tablet. The data is in real time and is tamperproof. The 1.5-mm thin tip probe with the sensor at the end offers speed of response and precise readings with only a tiny pinprick into the product. The Comark Kitchen Checks App is a free-of-charge smartphone app avail- able in both the Apple and Google Play app stores. The easy-to-use app can be loaded with your HACCP plan and pairs via Bluetooth to the BT250KC ther- mometer. One of the many positives of greater awareness and attention to food safety and HACCP is that it has spurred innova- tion in temperature measuring and at the same time has driven down costs. Comark thermometers and temperature monitors are geared to the need for speed and accuracy of measurements, but always at affordable prices. The BT250KC is just the latest model from Comark to bring the operator a conven- ient, fast respond- ing thermometer that is accurate and reli- able and can be used everywhere in the kitchen to ensure that an operation is serving safe food and is adhering to their HACCP plan. A full Kitchen Checks system using the Comark KC wireless loggers offers 24/7 security and peace of mind that night or day critical temperatures are being monitored and recorded.
