Power refuel in your restaurant
9-5-2014
More and more people can’t live without being constantly in touch with friends, family and the rest of the world. This becomes a daily reality. However, the batteries of the mobile devices can’t handle this behavior all day. ‘Charge to go’ made a fast charging station for this problem. We already wrote an article about a charging station at Stravinsky Food and Beverage in November 2012. These charging stations are already located in retail stores or at festivals. However, it is an innovative welcoming gesture for the hospitality industry. Certainly when it becomes more important when guests want to pay mobile. An entrepreneur can choose to charge the guest as a service ( a ‘coin operated’ version’). You can also ask your suppliers to sponsor the charging station and the touch screen will show events or actions.

Perhaps the sun doesn’t shine today, but you can already buy this book in preparation for the summer! Cookware and household manufacturers ‘Tramonitina’ and advertising agency ‘JWT Brazil’ have created a book that turns everyone into a ‘barbecue master’. The book is full of useful tips and some pages can be used as a tool. For example, there are pages that can be used as charcoal, firelighters, salt and pepper, grinder and even as an apron. The book was released in March and sent to a number of barbecue chefs, a simpler variant is sold at some bookstores in Brazil. We want to be able to buy a book like this in the Netherlands!
