Taking the sting out of waiting on Drive-Thru Lane

admin

There’s a reason so many QSR customers prefer to order food from their cars and not get out of their vehicles to eat, and that reason is that they’re in a hurry. But in the same way, they are not willing to sacrifice getting exactly the food they want for the sake of speed. Technology is the driving force behind making everything in our world faster and easier. Unfortunately, with features updating so quickly and people’s available time seemingly at zero, it makes it hard to keep up. Combine that with less conventional items like digital menu boards and in-car communications. So one of your top priorities as a QSR manager is to ensure the best possible communication between your clients and your staff.

It won’t be easy to establish great communication between the customer in your car and the person taking the order in your kitchen. You know the stress your staff experience inside the kitchen, and you can well imagine your customer’s world, with a car full of noisy, hungry children and a million other things to attend to as you try to figure out what everyone wants and then deliver. the results to your order taker. That’s why an electronic communication system with echo cancellation and noise cancellation is a must, as well as full duplex, so both ends can talk and listen at the same time. This is not a place to skimp! No self-service menu board is complete without your communication system. Make sure that you and your customer can be easily heard. Remember that the typical QSR makes more than two-thirds of their income in the ever-critical shortcut lane.

Accuracy may be even more important than speed, according to most of the major recent market research studies in this field. In fact, it’s a common customer perception that part of the cause of his waiting in line is the belief, correct or not, that his burger or burrito is being made from scratch for him. The inference here is that if a customer is going to have to wait, the majority of the waiting period should occur after placing their order, not before.

And, of course, nothing takes the pain out of waiting quite like some entertaining entertainment, which is easy to provide if you’re using direct-access digital menu boards. With a modern system, it’s easy to reserve some of the blackboard real estate for cartoons, local sports, or whatever else to keep your hungry customers busy for just a few minutes, until the whole gang joins in.

The 5 Best Ski Snacks

admin

Skiing is well regarded as one of the most challenging and demanding sports out there. When testing a person’s stamina and ability to withstand varying body temperatures, it’s very important to consider which snacks to take to the slopes. While most tracks have cafes where you can buy food along the way, preparing some energy-boosting snacks to sustain you through your session will keep spirits up so you and your family can keep carving.

Here are some examples of high-energy foods suitable for both you and the kids during your time on the snow.

apples

While bananas are considered the big energy-intensive fruit, they tend to get damaged in transit. To avoid giving the kids a squashed snack that leaves a lot to be desired, opt for a tasty apple instead. They are high in fiber and nutrients and you can even cut them up for easy eating when you’re on the slopes. The browning that may occur won’t do any harm, but if kids are particular about their fruit, you can try soaking them in lemon juice to prevent this from happening.

Granola bars

While there isn’t a lot of moisture in granola bars, they pack a great punch of energy and are popular with all ages. Nature Valley produces a nice variety of flavors so everyone can have their favorite flavor as a handy snack on the go. The main selling point for granola bars is that they are small, making them easy to pack in a day bag for skiing and eating on the go. If your kids aren’t big fans, you can go for flapjacks, which are also high in fiber.

Chocolate

It’s not the healthiest snack, but considering the number of calories burned skiing (about 400 per hour), chocolate is the tasty, energy-replenishing snack that’s popular with just about everyone. Dark chocolate packs more antioxidants for the more health conscious among you, and its sugar content, while it doesn’t last long, can provide a quick pick-me-up on a long day.

walnuts

Walnuts are packed with energy, making them a great choice for the slopes. With the many varieties to choose from, there is sure to be a favorite for every member of the family. Although they can be difficult to eat while on the go, keeping them in a small container or bag can make them the perfect snack.

Dried fruit

The sugar content in dried fruits makes them a great option for an extra boost of energy and their carbohydrate content makes them particularly good for skiing. Dried fruit is also small and light to transport, so you can pack enough to go around.

Getting around Bangkok

admin

First of all, it is good to know what kind of transportation you can get in Bangkok. There are numerous types of public transportation, but the average visitor or resident uses only 7 of these, metered taxis, tuk tuks, buses, boats, river taxis, motorcycles, and taxis (non-metered).

Let’s start with Tuk Tuks. Aren’t those little three-wheeled taxis cute, painted in bright colors and featured so much in anything to do with Thailand? They are very cute until you get stuck in traffic, behind the number 36 bus at about 2pm and they inhale more smoke in 10 minutes than the average smoker in a lifetime… ho ho ho you will say for the kids Isn’t it fun… while your kids bury their heads in their daddy’s armpit because it smells fresh compared to the air around them? It’s ok Try a Tuku Tuk once, don’t go too far and then leave them as a bad idea. Outside of Bangkok they are much more fun. You have to haggle with the Tuk Tuk drivers, the price is set beforehand and they will generally always rip you off, take a taxi.

Taxis (with 4 wheels) come in two types, metered and non-metered, although some non-metered actually have a meter hidden behind a panel in the dash below the radio… Taxis are great, sit in the air-conditioned luxury and watch the Smiths die of carbon monoxide poisoning in a Tuk Tuk. If a taxi driver refuses to use his meter, tell him to take a walk, get out, don’t be fooled. Check where you are standing, if it is outside a nice big hotel, then walk down the street a bit and hail a taxi. Unlike US or European taxi drivers, they do NOT have to pass TESTS to become a taxi driver, within days of being in Bangkok you will know Bangkok better than many taxi drivers…again if the driver doesn’t seem to know where it is you go, get out… another thing, make sure you know where you are going and have a rough idea of ​​the route, otherwise a less honest taxi driver will take you on a tour of the back roads “the shortcuts”. If you are going a long way, take the toll, it costs 20-40 baht (you pay) and will save you hours of travel. Calling a taxi by phone costs an additional 20 baht, airport taxis cost an additional 50 baht. And yes, there is a REGULATED taxi rank at the airport outside the main assembly area. Don’t get suckered in by the taxi and limo salesmen. Oh yeah, then there are the taxis without a meter… well if you want to use one, feel free… it will cost you the same as a Tuk Tuk, but at least you will have air conditioning… .possibly.

The buses, there were once red buses, blue buses, green buses and Air Con buses, then micro buses and then deregulation and now there are so many buses that I really don’t know what they all are… anyway, yeah going to use a bus, GET A BUS MAP. Then always use the Air Con buses, unless the place you’re going to isn’t on one of their routes or you’re on such a tight budget that 8-15 baht per person might mean you have to run out of food. Other buses range from 3 Baht to 20 Baht. Don’t bother asking the driver where you want to get off, to them you are a lower life form (all passengers are), ask another passenger. A word about getting on and off the buses. Do it FAST, buses sometimes don’t stop at the bus stop, they “slow down” in the middle of the road and let out a stream of potential hit-and-runs in the middle of traffic, okay, I’m exaggerating a bit, but when you have its stop, make sure you are already close to the door and you can run towards it. Don’t expect the people who get on to open the way for you, that kind of common sense often fails people who use the buses, their goal is to get on quickly and get a seat before everyone else… which brings seats… don’t be fooled into thinking that being a “gentleman” will thank you… oh no, you’ll see pregnant women standing around while snotty youngsters from school take the seats, you’ll see old women laden with groceries standing while sweaty teenagers hoard the seats…its a dog eat dog first come first serve world on the buses and if you take one of the non air conditioned buses you will eventually see a poor person pass out…then they get a seat.

Motorcycles. Yes… I want to get somewhere fast, take a motorcycle taxi, get married and have children… buy life insurance and a good helmet. Most MB taxi drivers will do their sole intent to scare you to death, to see if they can fit your bike through a gap that is obviously closing faster than they are moving and to see how fast they can go. in an open space. stretch of road…they have no fear (or sanity)…your life is in their hands and soon you will wish it wasn’t. It is the law in Thailand that all cyclists MUST wear a protective helmet… some of the helmets you see would not project a small child falling out of a 3 wheeler. Thai law says you have to wear a helmet, but as far as the law goes…it can be done with paper…if you intend to use MB Taxis a lot then get a helmet…I did, I It saved face when the inevitable finally happened and I skidded across the road after being run over by a pick-up truck… if you can avoid MB taxis then do so. If you’re in Bangkok long enough, you’ll eventually be able to learn which MB taxi teams (yes, they work as a team) are safer than others (or luckier than others). Take a look at the motorcycles they drive, a scratched accident will be a good indication that the driver has kissed the asphalt several times, a new motorcycle, a green horn that is still waiting for its first brush with death… if you go in a motorbike and the driver drives like crazy, tell him to stop and get off.

I have to admit I have very little experience with boat transport in Bangkok, but from what I’ve been told, if you can get a canal or river taxi then go for it, they are fast, generally clean, less polluting and of course Of course, there are fewer vehicles to hit. Prices vary depending on how far you go.

In summary, I would suggest that if you plan to travel to Bangkok: – get a map, take metered taxis, always know the general route and even the price range to your destination… oh, and don’t travel between 8am and 9am , or 3 pm and 4 pm, or 7 pm and 8 pm… you won’t get anywhere very, very slowly.

How to find the right financial advisor for you

admin

Finding the right financial advisor for you can be a difficult task. After all, how the hell do you know who to trust? And just because someone can be trusted, do they really have all the answers to the questions you need help with? What level of experience do they have? And more importantly, are they really operating in your best interest or are they just looking out for themselves? As if these weren’t enough concerns, you also have to worry about the ethics of your adviser. You don’t want to find yourself working with the next Bernie Madoff who runs off with all your money or is using his valuable assets to finance his next big Ponzi scheme. So how do you sort through all the options and find the right advisor for you?

Let’s look at 3 things to look out for when selecting the right financial advisor for you and your family. First, how do you know they are legitimate? Second, how do you know they care about you? and third, how do you know they will be right for you? Let’s explore these three questions in some detail to help you get the help you need.

So how do you do your due diligence and ensure that an adviser you’re considering working with is actually a legitimate financial adviser with verifiable experience and up-to-date licenses? The first place you might want to check is a website called Broker Check. You can simply search for Broker Check to find the official website. This website has a free tool to research the background and experience of brokers, advisers and financial companies. Broker Check can tell you instantly if a person is registered as required by law to sell securities, provide investment advice, or both. Broker Check also gives you a snapshot of an Advisor’s employment history, information on licensing and regulatory actions, arbitrations and complaints. Wouldn’t this information be helpful before entering into a relationship with a consultant?

Next, it is important to discern whether or not an Advisor cares about you. One way to help you figure this out is to ask your advisor if he or she is acting as a trustee. I know it’s a three dollar word, but all it means is that they are legally required to put their interests before their own and disclose any conflicts of interest that may interfere with that goal up front. For example, if a trustee is going to be paid a commission for a product that she is recommending to him, he is required to tell her before she buys it. Another useful thing to keep in mind is looking for an advisor who will ask to see more than her financial statements. Before they start working with you, they should ask to see your tax returns, legal documents, and insurance contracts. If all they want to see or talk about is your investment statements, how can they really take your entire situation into account when making recommendations?

Finally, you should never feel any sales pressure to move on or make a hasty decision. A professional advisor will not use old-school sales tactics to win you over as a client. You may need to meet with more than one advisor and see how you feel at each meeting. If you feel pressured or uncomfortable in any way, this may not be the right counselor for you. You should get the feeling that the advisor in question is asking good questions with the goal of helping you make an informed decision about your money that feels right to you. If you’re getting any kind of feedback that he/she is more interested in making a sale than doing the right thing, you should probably pass it on to someone else.

Certainly, there are likely other factors you could consider, such as the specialty of the advisors and even proximity to your hometown. However, if you start with the basics of doing your due diligence, making sure they care about putting your interests first, and deciding if you have a good feeling about him/her, then you’ll be off to a great start in finding the right financier. Advisor for you. Happy hunting!

The Rise of Online Auctions in the Real Estate Industry

admin

Over the past few years, there has been substantial growth in the number of auctions held and the value of real estate sold at auction. According to the National Association of Realtors, real estate auctions currently account for 21.5% of the total auction market. During 2010, one in three properties is expected to be sold through an auction model. The trend is increasing for online auctions and is likely to continue in the future. Online auctions were not viable in the past due to the lack of availability of the right technology, as there was no specific platform dedicated to real estate. Recently some companies have developed proprietary platforms and are using them to run their own auction business. Until now, traditional real estate brokerage firms had little to no access to technology.

The traditional method of selling real estate has less transparency. Buyers never knew what the other offers were, so they didn’t know what they were competing against. The sellers didn’t know if they were getting a good price for the house because there was very little competition among the buyers. Sellers generally want to sell a home quickly for multiple reasons, including a new job, family, etc. but they often have to put their lives on hold because it usually takes a long time to sell your house. There was no pressure on buyers to make an offer in a timely manner, so the houses were on the market for much longer periods of time. For real estate agents, if they take more time to move inventory around the house, it takes longer to earn commissions and slows the growth rate of their business. They were also unable to leverage technology to offer value-added services to their customers in the past.

Currently, there is such a huge supply of foreclosed homes that banks are trying to sell their shares using auction companies that have live and online auction platforms. According to RealtyTrac, a record 2.8 million homes were threatened with foreclosure last year and the number is expected to rise to over 3 million homes in 2010. New companies are springing up looking to specialize in selling these homes. REO through the auction process. These new entrants may also seek to gain a slice of the traditional real estate market in competition with existing brokerage firms. Brokerage firms can get into the online auction business early by using an auction platform to keep the field open to competition from new entrants. With auction technology, real estate agents can offer new value-added services by leveraging Internet technology, grow their business and generate additional revenue streams.

imgBurn is a free tool that allows you to burn all kinds of CDs, DVDs, and Blu-Ray discs. It works for PC CDs, music CDs, and even Xbox 360 games, and here’s how to burn your 360 games with it.

Before you can burn any Xbox 360 game, you must first obtain the ISO and DVD files that will be used to burn the disc. These files are crucial and can be extracted from the game CD or downloaded from the Internet. Once you have the ISO and .DVD file for the game you want to burn, you need to install imgBurn on your system. This is quite simple and the software can be downloaded from imgburn.com.

Once you have installed the software, you need to open the .dvd file for your game. There, there will be a LAYER BREAK number, which you need to copy to your clipboard with CRTL + C. Copy it and then open imgBurn and find the “options” panel at the top of the screen. Open the options window, and then find the “layer break” setting, where you’ll need to paste that number with CRTL + V.

After you have pasted the skip layer number into the settings, you can close them and return to the main imgburn screen (the skip layer is where the burner stops burning one layer and goes to the next layer of the dual layer DVD). . On the main screen, you need to click on the “Burn from image” button, which will then open a new screen, which will ask you to open an ISO file. Open the game file you have and then proceed to change the ‘write speed’ of the program to 4X. This will give you the highest success rate.

Is it illegal to copy Xbox 360 games?

admin

I think it’s okay to copy Xbox 360 games for a number of reasons. However, I also think it’s not okay to rip Xbox 360 games. It depends on why you’re ripping and who you’re ripping for.

First I’ll tell you why, in certain cases, I think it’s wrong to copy games. If you are illegally copying Xbox 360 games to hack or sell to others to make money from them, it is illegal and morally wrong. This is the main reason why I think it’s not okay to copy games.

If you’re copying Xbox 360 games for backup in case something happens to your original copy, I think it’s totally fine to do so. Why? Because you are protecting your hard earned money that you spent in the game. For example, I am a member of my local volunteer fire department and we have a community Xbox 360 and everyone buys and shares games. We have a 4-tier rack full of games. As you may know, things in the firehouse break, break, and generally get rough. We also have members who don’t care about other people’s stuff and decide they want to use the Halo ODST as a coaster for their drink. Personally, I copy all the games in the firehouse as soon as I buy them, then store them in a safe place where they can’t be damaged. Then when someone uses the original disc as a frisbee or coaster and it breaks, scratches or chips… we have a backup disc that we can replace with one that is playable and works.

Of course, game companies don’t want you to copy Xbox 360 games because they’re afraid someone will do it for the wrong reason to make money and sell them (like it hurts them financially… yeah right). Moving on, let me ask you this, if your game gets scratched, cracked, or chipped, will the game producer replace it for you? No, they’re going to say “Tough break, go buy a new one.”

So if you’re only doing it to back up your games in case of an accident where they’re unplayable and you’re just trying to protect your hard-earned and spent money, then I think it’s morally okay. copy xbox 360 games

New Business Loan Guide for Small Business Owners and Entrepreneurs

admin

It’s not the easiest thing in the world for a new business to get the money it needs to get started. New business loans can be difficult to obtain unless you have excellent credit and a good plan. If you can get approved, you’ll get the income you need for working capital, equipment, supplies, machinery, inventory, advertising, or maybe even for real estate construction or commercial building rentals.

One thing that many lenders expect you to do is determine your personal wealth. How much of that will you be able to bring to the table? Lenders tend to require that you be able to put up between 20% and 40% of the total amount of the loan you are applying for.

In the 21st century, there are many more options available for business start-ups than the traditional loan from a bank. However, before applying for any type of financing, you must demonstrate that your business qualifies as a small business. Small businesses are generally measured by factors such as number of employees, number of years (less than 2) in operation, number of employees, revenue generated, types of assets and their value, revenue, etc. Most traditional lenders require you to put up collateral and a guarantee that you will pay.

Your credit score and new business loans

If your personal credit score is very high, you may want to get a credit card to use for your business. The line of credit may not be enough to cover everything you need, but it’s a good start. There is no rule that says you must get all your funds from one source. There are a variety of microloans you may qualify for, such as those offered by the SBA and other non-profit organizations. These types of new business loans can be used to purchase inventory/supplies, furniture, working capital, etc.

When it comes to alternative start-up financing options, like grants and crowdfunding, you’ll want to focus more on our business model than your credit score. These types of financing are worth considering if you have bad credit. However, to impress crowdfunders, grantmaking organizations, angel investors, etc., you’ll really need to come up with a great message and marketing campaign.

Once you get all your documentation, files, financial records, financial plan, etc. together, you can start looking for new business loans at US Business Funding. This organization has 95% approval rates and offers flexible payment terms and options.
