It is all about engagement. Of courseall of us at Foodservice Daily News love itwhen the restaurant numbers are on theupswing - and there is no denying thatthey are. As for getting the diner throughyour doors there are ever changing toolsat your disposal. A great upward trend isthe adoption of mobile app usage by

consumers and business alike. It was reported recentlyby Tech Crunch that mobile app users are now equal tolaptop and desktop users. A pretty amazing statisticwhen you think about it.

is means everything to the restaurant owner whohas to adapt with the competition not only in terms ofsmart phone marketing but also the ancillary servicesassociated with mobile technology. Namely the servicesof online ordering, payment and delivery need to be addressed. If you are not prepared to meet this rap-idly growing segment, you will probably lose business tothe restaurateur that does.

ere are services in place that can truly deliver abetter mousetrap and indeed some will do a great dealof hand holding manage if bandwidth is an issue.ough consider in producing a social media/ technol-ogy position in a restaurant, could be part time, that ison the message for you all the time. Something like thesidewalk barker of yesteryear. is could be a savvy

busboy for all we know. Consider visiting the followingbusiness that addresses these needs at this year’s show.Chow Now Booth: 6370 for a leading online orderingplatform and a company that pioneered Facebook ordering. App Tech Team Booth: 9658 for a firm thatcreates apps for just about any service, be it smartphone or mobile web, simple or highly complex. FuwakCommunications Booth: 9295 for a variety of engagement tools including site traffic evaluations, online assessments of where you stand and what youcan do to maximize your presence.

You need to be engaged with your patrons morethan ever and for this the technology of mobile applications has the answer. Dick Tracy would approve.

Not to overlook the the rubber hits the road…wedon’t want you to forget to check out the great front ofthe house technology of Table Check Booth: 5248. isclever system allows for the management of table turnsthat simply increase revenue for you. Barbara Horan,founder and President, likes to call it a “virtual cash machine”. We think she’s right.

growing commerce between the U.S. andChina. Based on surveys of the attendees,they represent importers, restaurateurs andHRI suppliers hailing from Beijing,Shenyang, Shanghai, Hangzhou, Chongqingand a number of other cities. eir interestsinclude flavorings, health foods, organicfoods, meat and poultry products, andequipment. ey have already purchasedmore than $49 million and anticipate pur-chasing an additional $30 million in U.S.food products based on their visit to theshow.

Chinese culture places a huge emphasison food and hospitality. Entertaining is a bigdeal! New Western visitors to China arelikely to be awed by the size of some of thelarger restaurants, some of which can seatseveral thousand people in a combination oflarge open spaces and hundreds of privaterooms. Meanwhile, as more and more Chi-nese families include two wage earners, ca-sual dining out has gained greater andgreater traction featuring both Western andlocal style fast foods.

e Hotel, Restaurant Institutional andsector has been one of the main beneficiariesof China’s economic boom since market lib-eralization began more than thirty years ago.

e growth in business activity and incomes,which has spread across most of China, has

created a new and growing middle class withhigher standards and expectations. And, theChinese middle class is creating new gener-ations of young people who have never ex-perienced or witnessed the hard timesexperienced by their grandparents.

At this point, middle class consumers areexpected to be more than 50 percent of allconsumers by 2015. As a result of this wide-spread increase in wealth, there will bescores of millions more consumers with dis-

posable income to spend in higher levelstores and in better dining establishments.ese trends are obvious to travelers visitingcities like Wuhan, Chongqing, Chengdu and

Xian in the interioror coastal cities likeDalian, Qingdao orXiamen.

e HRI sector isalso supported by in-creasing demand fora wide variety of Chi-nese and interna-tional cuisines.Pushed by the influxof foreign businessresidents and by thebooming Chinesetravel industry thatis taking people

around the country and the world, manyrestaurants are finding success selling a widevariety of non-Chinese foods and in infusingWestern foods into their traditional menus.In addition, the huge number of visitors toChina is supporting an equally boomingbusiness for five star hotels. AlthoughChina’s population includes a growing num-ber of seniors, the sheer size means thatthere are plenty of young customers open tointernational styles and cuisines.

Food safety concerns and governmentefforts to improve food safety in the HRIsector have provide a lift for imported foodand beverage products from sources per-ceived to have high qualitative and safetystandards.

All of this means that China is a strongand growing market for imported food andinstitutional kitchen products. As a result,Mw in Chicago has enjMo\\\\\ed excellentattendance from China in recent years, set-ting a new record in 2011 and remainingstrong in 2012. Don’t be surprised if Chi-nese visitors have a strong interest in yourproduct! For more information about op-portunities in China please visit www.us-dachina.org.

success even further – with styles, services,and merchandising options designed tomeet the needs of any customer.

Offering products featuring exceptionaldesign and construction along with unparal-leled customer support, East Coast Umbrellafocuses primarily on patio and beach um-brellas, but its manufactured line extends tocustom outdoor furniture cushions in acrylicand vinyl mesh. What’s more, the family-owned company is a distributor for Outdurabrand fabrics, as well as having partnershipswith MiYu Furniture and Florida Patio Fur-niture, enabling customers to fulfill a varietyof outdoor furnishings needs all from onesource.

No order is too big or too small for EastCoast Umbrella to handle. e company willship umbrellas to customers in any quantitydesired, from a single umbrella to hundreds.e cost per umbrella in large quantities isjust slightly higher than imports, but offers

the advantage of American made.A range of sizes and styles make up the

company’s line, including models in fiber-

glass, wood, and heavy-duty commercial-grade aluminum. All are manufactured tothe highest quality; for example, the thick-

ness of the aluminum center pole is doublethe thickness of standard umbrellas. Plus,the company developed an exclusive fiber-

glass frame that dramatically im-proves the umbrellas’ ability towithstand severe weather condi-tions.

“A couple of years ago, we sawa distinct need for a frame thatwould hold up better in wind andweather,” says DeWayne Day, vicepresident. “So we designed ourown fiberglass frame, which al-most immediately became ourbest-seller. Since its introduction,we have seen a 75 percent reduc-tion in repairs from wind dam-age. At the same time, we alsodesigned the ribs to clip into thehubs, so users can easily replacethem and not have to throw out

the whole umbrella.”Our newest addition to our product line,

the solar Illumishade™ umbrella, is one that

we think is a smart answer for the restaurantindustry. As more and more restaurants areoffering beautiful outdoor dining areas, weoffer a heavy duty commercial grade solarumbrella that shades during the day and il-luminates the dining table at night. We arevery excited over this addition and we willbe showcasing it at our booth, #1285, at theNational Resturant Show in May.

All umbrellas in the company’s line aremade with 100 percent acrylic fabric fromOutdura and other quality fabric brands. Itis the best fabric in the outdoor industry forlongevity and durability. For added appeal,our in-house graphics department is on thecutting edge of outdoor advertising usingdigital prints and applications of graphicsthat you can only find at our facility. We cancustomize your umbrellas with any logos orfull umbrella prints that you can dream up.

two trends happening on the menu in Italytoday, compiled by Barilla Executive ChefLorenzo Boni and his colleagues in Parmaand Milan.

Trend #1: Slow food in overdriveBoth at retail and in restaurants, the

slow food concept of “kilometro zero” orzero miles product is everywhere. It’s not un-common for the menu to include the totalmiles that the ingredients have traveled,often less than 20 miles from farm to fork.A quintessential example is Chef AlbertoBettini’s gnocchi at Trattoria de Amerigo,comprised of truffles and potatoes grown inthe same field.

Trend #2: Making high-end food fromhumble ingredients

Even more so than in America, Italy’sstruggling economy has driven chefs tomake the most out of low-cost, high-qualityingredients. A simple but brilliant exampleis called pasta risottata, or “risotto-style,” as

served at Chef Oldani’s restaurant D’O. Ba-sically this means cooking spaghetti in thesauce, adding a little liquid at a time, and let-ting the starches get super-creamy whilekeeping the al dente bite.

Other restaurants highlight unusual orhigh-end techniques while using cheapercuts of meat, reviving what was once consid-ered “peasant food.” Chef Chris Cosentino'sIncanto in San Francisco does this very well.e same thing is happening with fish.“Pesce azzurro” (mackerel, sardines, an-chovies), which was once considered too oilyand only good for fishermen, is now showingup on menus. It’s a win from a sustainabilityperspective too, as they're not overfished.

can be complicated for any small businessowner. SurePayroll makes it easy by han-dling the calculations and tax payments foryou. is minimizes the time you need tospend on administration and saves you frompotentially costly mistakes. When it comesto payroll, restaurants often face evengreater administrative challenges just basedon the nature of the business. One challengeis that restaurants often employ staff thatmay perform several different jobs. It’s ahassle to track these and many software op-tions don’t support this. For example, sayJane the hostess also bartends and waits ta-bles for your restaurant. She gets paiddifferent rates for each position. Easy OnlineSurePayroll for Restaurants allows you tojust enter hours associated with the differ-ent jobs and in minutes payroll is calculatedfor you and the payroll taxes, federal, state

and local – are automatically paid! Easy.DMG: Are there other challenges that

can be overcome? Tip reporting for exam-ple?

MA: Our restaurant customers really ap-preciate our new Minimum Wage Alerts andShortfall Reports. e Minimum Wage Alert

notifies you when employee wages and/ortips do not reach the minimum wage re-quirements, providing you with helpful tips-to-minimum verification. Our ShortfallReport protects you and your employeesfrom potential errors and penalties by noti-

fying you if employees’ wages on a particularpayroll don’t cover the amount owed fortaxes and/or deductions. Our service willnotify you and continue to withhold theamount owed on future payrolls.

DMG: What about cash versus creditcard tip reporting?

MA: It can be areal challenge forrestaurants to ac-curately report alltips with certainpayroll systems.Our Tips Sign OffReport makes iteasy because it

tracks tips received from both credit cardsand cash transactions which will help ensurecompliance with IRS regulations on tip re-porting.

DMG: What about the FICA tip credit?MA:  is is an important feature be-

cause you want to be sure you are getting thefull tip credit that you’re entitled to. OurFICA tip credit feature calculates and tracksthe amount for you so you don’t have to tryto keep track for each separate employee.is special tax credit can amount to hun-dreds of dollars per employee each year.

DMG: And what about franchises?MA:  We have another great enhance-

ment that our franchise customers are veryhappy about. Our new Easy Franchise Man-agement Portal allows you to log in and haveinstant online access to manage payroll forall of your franchises. You can easily runyour online payroll anytime; anywhere youhave mobile access, even from your mobilephone. With this addition, franchisors withjust a few franchises in neighboring townsor 200 across 10 states can have one easypayroll solution.

We pro-vide management with key customer trendsand offer very compelling social media mar-keting solution.

alerted. It will enable you to increase cus-tomer satisfaction and customer retention.Our text analytics will enable you to stay on

top of customer trends and our social mediapackage will help you engage with your cus-tomers like never before.

FDN: How does feedback received onDropought platform feedback compare toother sources?

KC: Our clients receive 5-20 times morefeedback compared to other feedbacksources. Most of the feedback received ispositive and the negative feedback received

is highly actionable.FDN:  What brings you to the NRA

Show? Do you have any specials or attrac-

tions taking place from your booth thisweek?

KC:  We are very excited to be a part ofNRA show. It is the largest restaurant con-ference and anyone offering products torestaurant industry has to be here. We haveseveral specials this week.

e check binder solution is our patentedtechnology. It allows customers to give feed-back to management from the comfort oftheir seats. us, a lot more customers tendto use it. A lot of feedback received tends tobe positive for well-run restaurants. Also,the negative feedback is received in a privatesetting and gives management an opportu-nity to fix the issue before the customerposts on social media. We have seen Yelpscores improve for our clients after theystarted using Dropought.

product line of unique South American fla-vors.

Las Tablas Colombian Steakhouse firstopened in Chicago in 1991, and at the timewas one of the very first Colombian restau-rants in the Midwest. At first, they wereforced to sell tacos and burritos to attractclientele not familiar with Colombian cui-sine. Today after more than two decades inbusiness, Las Tablas tops a list of more than20 Colombian restaurants in Chicago, andhundreds in the region. In 2012, the nation-ally-aired restaurant program America's BestBites selected Las Tablas as having the bestskirt steak in the country. Soon after theywere bombarded by viewers from across thecountry asking if their products were soldonline. is gave the Suarez family the idea

to develop an exclusive product line and e-commerce website, which are being debutedat the 2013 NRA show in Chicago.

According to Leo Suarez, son of the orig-

inal founders of Las Tablas, "We decided thatwe wanted to give people the opportunity tocook in their homes with the same flavors weuse in our cocina (kitchen). We also wanted

to provide an all-natural alternative to less-healthy seasonings and sauces such as theGoya brand offerings". With this goal inmind, the Cocina Las Tablas line was bornand is now at the NRA show introducingtheir two initial product offerings: eCocina Las Tablas 'Signature Sazón', an all-natural, MSG-free, all-purpose protein ruband seasoning; along with the Cocina LasTablas 'Ají Casero', an all-natural, all-purposesalsa and marinade.

Until now, the 'Signature Sazón' proteinrub and seasoning has been a Suarez familysecret recipe. It is what has given Las Tablasit's distinctive taste over 20-plus years andthe biggest reason behind Las Tablas beingselected as the best skirt steak in the nation.It can be used on everything from red meat,pork, chicken, and seafood in addition tosoup broths and beans. e 'Ají Casero' is

equally versatile and unique in flavor. "Peo-ple always assume it's going to taste like anyother Mexican salsa you find at the grocerystore, and even though you can totally eat itplain with tortilla chips, the feedback hasshown that it definitely has a distinct andoriginal flavor from any Mexican salsa onthe market", says Suarez. It can be used as acooking base, as a quick guacamole mix, andas an addition to practically any meal.

Taste the difference for yourself, visitthe Cocina Las Tablas (booth 9612), onlineat www.cocinalastablas.com, or at one oftheir two original Chicago steakhouses(2942 N. Lincoln Ave and 4920 W. IrvingPark Road, www.lastablas.com)
