EZ Menu Design Offers A Price Savings Discount Guarantee Of 10%

Tue, 31 Jan 2012 19:49:37 +0000

EZ Menu Design guarantees a savings of 10% on any current design and/or printing quote.

EZ Menu Design offers completely custom restaurant menu designs. By printing their products in house, they leave out the middle man and the extra printing costs involved. This allows them to pass the savings on to their customers by guaranteeing a savings of 10% off any current design and/or printing quote.

Many restaurants put off redesigning or reprinting their menus because of the high printing costs. By not maintaining menus and not updating prices to coincide with rising food costs, this can cost any establishment a great deal of money. Menu prices should be reevaluated and updated at least once a year to ensure the pricing structure is where it needs to be. Not only is pricing a factor, but an updated look can mean several things to diners. "A fresh and current design for your restaurant menus shows your patrons you are up to date on what is offered and can even give off the impression of a cleaner establishment," notes Klepper, Owner. With a price guarantee, EZ Menu Design is a smart choice for menu design and menu printing needs.

"By taking the time and following some basic rules, we at EZ Menu Design have become very successful in producing high quality menus for our clients," adds Klepper. A great menu can help maximize a restaurant's profits and create a warm and inviting atmosphere for dining patrons. EZ Menu Design takes the stress out of the design process by working quickly and closely with each client to ensure a quality design for the customers and the owners.

EZ Menu Design is a full service menu design and printing company. All designs are custom made to represent each client and their establishment. EZ Menu Designs works quickly to produce clean, easy to read and highly profitable menus. For more information, visit http://www.ezmenudesign.com or call 888-EZMENUD(396-3683).

Flippers Pizzeria Celebrates 25 Years in Central Florida

Tue, 31 Jan 2012 15:40:02 +0000

/EINPresswire.com/This month, January 2012, Flippers Pizzeria, an Orlando pizza restaurant with eleven locations and a central commissary that supports growth of the pizza company, celebrates its twenty-fifth year in Central Florida.

When Flippers Pizzeria opened its first location in 1987 near Sea World, business owners had a specific goal in mind for the new pizzeria—creating delicious pizzas from the freshest ingredients possible and treating every guest with five-star customer service.

Eleven locations, a commissary, and a wholesale division later, Flippers Pizzeria's mission remains the same since 1987, but owners say that after 25 successful years, it's still just the beginning for the flourishing pizza maker.

"It's been a great 25 years, and over the last four, we have really tied it all together through growth, a national rebranding, our new interior 'look,' and infrastructure," said Scott Kousaie, Co-President & Founding Partner. "We continue to look for more corporate locations, and we look forward to the next franchise location opening soon at The Villages and additional locations opening in the near future."

When consumers walk into a Flippers Pizzeria restaurant today, things don't look the way that they did in 1987, but the friendly, neighborhood atmosphere and delicious food that made Flippers Pizzeria a success in the first place, is still thriving.

"Our stores have been enhanced over the years due to evolving customer tastes, available technologies, and new conveniences that are now available to us as restaurant owners," said Flippers founders. "Also critical in our success is the fact that that we have been perfecting the operational structure of the business for more than 25 years; always retooling it so that over time, every process becomes more productive."

Recently, Flippers Pizzeria went through a major rebranding. Stores were remodeled, new menu items added, new corporate stores opened, and a future expansion plan went into effect, offering franchise opportunities to qualified investors who shared a passion for making delicious pizza.

Online ordering was developed, catering menus were improved, and plans to feature a mobile website and iPhone application were set into motion.

Flippers Pizzeria is constantly evolving. "We know that we must remain connected to our customers in order to prosper for another 25 years," said a Flippers executive team member. "We never rest on our laurels. Our team is constantly searching for the best ingredients, modifying our recipes, and communicating with our patrons to make sure that we are always working to exceed their expectations."

Recently, flat screen TVs and free wireless Internet access were added in restaurants. The Flippers brand also retains a strong social media and Web presence with more than 5,000 active followers who are very vocal and passionate about the Flippers brand.

"We are constantly developing and enhancing our online presence," said Kousaie. "We communicate with our online followers on a daily basis. Currently, we've been promoting our newest menu items on our social media profiles; we enjoy receiving consumer feedback and getting them involved in our conversations and decisions."

It's clever uses of today's technology like this that keeps Flippers Pizzeria at the top of its game.

"We are very proud to have been part of the Central Florida community for more than twenty-five years, and we look forward to celebrating our milestone 25th year in 2012," said a Flippers representative. "We will continue to donate our time to the community through community service initiatives and by providing our customers with the very best products and services."

Later this year, Flippers Pizzeria plans to open its twelfth location in The Villages of Central Florida.

Flippers Pizzeria Now Offering Free Wireless Internet Access in Corporate Stores

Thu, 22 Dec 2011 11:09:37 +0000

Orlando pizza restaurant completes a full year of in-store improvements with new free wireless Internet access for customers.

/EINPresswire.com/ Orlando, FL — Orlando pizza favorite Flippers Pizzeria now offers free wireless Internet access at all corporate locations.

The WiFi upgrade finishes out a full year of environmental in-store updates, which also included the installation of high-definition flat-screen televisions in all eleven Central Florida restaurants.

"We really care about the comfort of our customers when they dine here," said a Flippers marketing executive. "In addition to the great customer service from our serving staff, we have created an environment that features all the comforts of home—and now with our free WiFi, the office, too."

Free WiFi is only the beginning of a variety of advancements that the company plans to roll out in 2012, which happens to be its 25th year in Central Florida. In late January, the pizzeria will launch a mobile-compatible website, as well as an iPhone application that will allow customers to order pizzas, flatbreads, salads, sandwiches, and more through their iPad or iPhone device. Both of these items are fast approaching beta testing.

2012 will mark the Orlando pizza restaurant's 25th anniversary. "We are very proud to have been part of the Central Florida community for more than twenty-five years, and we look forward to celebrating our milestone 25th year in 2012," said a Flippers representative. "New menu items will be released, along with our new mobile applications, and we even have plans for new locations to be opening up during the year."

Another exciting thing rolling out next year will be an online ordering system for catering. The company is currently integrating a newly updated catering menu into their existing online ordering system, making it more convenient to plan a catered event in just a few clicks.

"In addition to always ensuring consistent, high-quality, great-tasting food, making sure that our customers are satisfied with their experience inside our restaurants is equally as important to us," said a member of the Flippers Pizzeria team. "The recent WiFi renovation finished out a year that we are very proud of, and we look forward to the new advancements and improvements that 2012 will bring for the Flippers brand."

Since 1987, Flippers Pizzeria has been serving Central Florida's tourists, residents, students, and businesses the perfect pizza while making numerous charitable donations to the local community. Today, there are eleven Flippers Pizzeria restaurants in Central Florida, with pizza franchise opportunities available for interested and qualified investors.

Flippers Pizzeria was recently ranked "Number 1" on MyFoxOrlando's Mojo Pages for Best Pizza in Orlando. Earlier this year, the Orlando pizza franchise began to offer t-shirts for fans of the pizza restaurant to show their support for the brand. The shirts are now available at all locations.

Las Vegas Weekly Magazine votes Hot N Juicy Crawfish as One of the Best Places to Eat

Tue, 06 Dec 2011 05:44:28 +0000

/EINPresswire.com/ No need for utensils, roll up the sleeves and explore the delights of this award winning seafood restaurant

What does Hot N Juicy Crawfish have in common with all of the other restaurants that Las Vegas has to offer? Nothing. With its unique twist on exceptionally fresh seafood and a touch of unexpected electrifying customer service, Hot N Juicy Crawfish was recently honored with an award from Las Vegas Weekly Magazine for "One of the Best Places to Eat With Your Hands in 2011". If there is a restaurant worth seeking out in Sin City, Hot N Juicy Crawfish is the needle to this haystack.

Hot N Juicy Crawfish is for the culinary open minded, expect nothing but the unexpected. Those willing to roll up their sleeves and work for their grub will not be disappointed. No silverware here. Plastic table cloths, a bib, and a roll of paper towels are the only supplies one will need upon entering into this tantalizing aroma and vibrant atmosphere.

Adam Richman, from Travel Channel's, Man Vs. Food, had no problem deciding what he would indulge in while filming one of the Las Vegas locations. The menu is simple, but offers a variety of seafood options to choose from. The most popular items which include the highest quality and freshest of all seafood: Louisiana live crawfish, shrimp, an assortment of different types of crabs, and live lobsters. After choosing what items to entertain one's taste buds with, diners get to customize the spiciness and flavor. The Hot N Juicy Special features the house's signature seasoning, a must-try. Keep in mind, all seasonings offer a heat level similar to a three-alarm fire, even the mild has a kick to it. If seafood is not to one's heart's content, Hot N Juicy Crawfish also offers a variety of side items like chicken wings, sweet potato fries, and chicken strips. While off the beaten path, Hot N Juicy Crawfish tends to be a celebrity hangout. One may never know who they might be cracking crab next to.

Hot N Juicy Crawfish is a specialty seafood restaurant that offers its diners a counter culture experience. Established in Las Vegas since 2007, founded by Tim and Laina from Texas, Hot N Juicy Crawfish have become a world famous seafood restaurant that is sought out from people all over the continent. With three new locations (2nd one in Las Vegas, Washington, DC, Orlando, FL) and still growing, Hot N Juicy Crawfish is here to please, and will continue to infuse those hungry taste buds around the country. The result is pure deliciousness with a side of perfection. It's no wonder Hot N Juicy Crawfish was voted for "One of the Best Places to Eat".

Western New York Local Restaurant Week Begins September 26 - October 2nd

Mon, 19 Sep 2011 18:35:01 +0000

The historic redeveloped Hotel Lafayette will serve as backdrop for the kick off of Western York Local Restaurant Week Fall 2011.

/EINPresswire.com/Western New York Local Restaurant Week Fall 2011 kicks off September 26th in the ground floor of the historic Hotel Lafayette in Buffalo, NY, marking a significant milestone for the area's foodservice industry and the surging development of the region's downtown central core.

"If you take Statler City and the Hotel Lafayette-the two largest development projects currently in downtown- the common denominator among them is that they have foodservice and hospitality at the core of their go-to-market strategy," Peter Longo of the New York State Restaurant Association said.

"It's just not downtown either. Take a look at what's happening in Tonawanda, on Buffalo's waterfront and throughout the region. The foodservice industry here is a major player in getting projects off drawing board and shovels into the ground."

Over 200 local restaurants will participate in the Fall event that celebrates Buffalo's vibrant independent operator community. A recent study of major markets conducted by industry trade publication QSR.com found that Western New York maintains one of the highest percentages of independently-owned foodservice operations.

"We want to keep our unique identity and fight the influx of chains every step of the way," Longo said. "Twice a year we sponsor Local Restaurant Week because we think it is important to draw the distinction to the public as to who is an independent operator in this community. Our independents are fully invested. They are all in. And they are not sitting back waiting for better days. They are the agents of change."

Also speaking at the kickoff press conference will be Rocco Termini, President of Signature Development and Mike Andrezjewski Owner of Sea Bar and founder of WNY Local Restaurant Week.

A complete listing of participants can be found at localrestaurantweek.com. Each restaurant will offer week long dining deals for $21.11.

"Nationally, the economy continues to struggle with uncertainty," Longo said. "We hope to deliver a message that our local industry is strong and vibrant. We hope everyone can take time and dine out with friends and family to their favorite independent restaurants."

Only 48 Hours Left to Register for the GOURMET PRODUCT AWARDS Before Early Entry Deadline Ends

Wed, 17 Aug 2011 18:39:50 +0000

Wild excitement of gourmet product producers and sellers mob media for nomination requests to enter competition and get in the buzz.

/EINPresswire.com/ via GourmetWire.com -- The countdown clock is ticking away fast on the early entry deadline that was extended for the Gourmet Product Awards(tm). The massive attention and quick spreading word of mouth has 'gone viral' created a "mad rush of excitement not seen in years" according to reports.

Foodie buffs around the country are looking to get in on the action by nominating new products for the 2011 GOURMET AWARDS program before midnight on Friday. The awards website has officially launched and is offering a 48 hour "window of opportunity" for companies to get registered and beat the early entry deadline. This is a sincere invitation for food companies and future celebrity chefs who create and sell gourmet products on their own to enter the competition and gain national notoriety. Many may never get the chance again this year to get the attention and recognition they deserve for their culinary creations.

Everyone has to go through a product evaluation review process to get approved before officially entering the awards. Food and gadget creators, this is the opportunity you have been waiting for but you have to get in before the door closes.

Meanwhile, that leaves about 300 other companies that were previously nominated finding out if they have been accepted into the competition and making the final decision about the categories they will enter in before Friday's early deadline.

The 1st Annual Gourmet Product Awards celebrate the year's best in Baked Goods, Beverages, Cheese, Chocolate, Coffee & Tea to Gourmet Gift Boxes, Hors d'Oeuvres to New Popular Trends such as Raw, Natural or Organic Selections. Any company in the world selling gourmet products to North America can enter after they register themselves and have been approved by an evaluations process. First round nominees were selected by the media while the judges being lined up include celebrity chefs and top taste-makers from across the country. This window of opportunity lets individuals nominate their favorite products and companies can do the same but they have to hurry.

"We are thrilled that HINT and HINT Fizz were selected to be a part of the Gourmet Product Awards," says Kara Goldin, CEO of HINT, Inc. who recently entered the competition in the beverages category.

"At Ladybird and Friends, we believe hot sauce should be more about flavor than fire that's why we went for three category entries for our company." said Stephana Gaudin, CEO

"Our turkey/chicken rub is a winner among natural born grillers and we are proud to be associated with the first annual Gourmet Awards program" said Marlena Chang, CEO of aFire, Inc.

The Gourmet Product Awards is an independent industry competition solely dedicated to recognizing and honoring the most delicious and innovative new gourmet foods and gourmet products. "We understand the challenges of launching and marketing your latest creation to the various segments of the consumer and retailer." said Mark Varrin, the program administrator.

Wouldn't it be wonderful to tell the marketplace that you are a Gourmet Products Award Winner? Taking that first step towards acheiving that level of recognized success begins right here!

"We see the opportunity of making your PR and sales efforts easier by helping you get the word out there about how great your product(s) really are. Managing your message and PR is more critical than ever these days and whatever gives you an edge over your competitors must be considered. Winning a 2011 Gourmet Products Award helps you project a positive image of your company not only to retailers and customers but also industry wide if not worldwide." said Varrin.

Word of the opportunity is quickly spreading, from New York where the Gourmet Housewares Show(R) is happening now, to Seattle on Saturday where a reporter will go on a 7 stop gourmet store and restaurant tour to promote the awards and then on to San Francisco and Los Angeles. But lets not forget Chicago or food festivals down in Texas where gourmet lovers are found everywhere entering the competition. In just one example, the Gourmet Awards Twitter feed which just launched yesterday gained over 200 followers in the first 12 hours.

By entering the New Product Awards program you join a distinguished circle of companies who are considered at the top of excellence if not the best in product offerings. "Sure, we look at concept, packaging, presentation, ingredients, taste and more. But what we're really looking for are the best, the most innovative, creative products whose very essence is excellence." said Varrin.

News reporters and various media outlets may still submit nominations through the month but the 48 hour opportunity to get in before the early entry deadline ends Friday at midnight. Winners will be announced on October 24th via a live press conference. To submit a nomination for any category, go to www.GourmetAwards.org

Electric Pressure Washer Machines Offer Manual Top-Refill Option

Thu, 16 Jun 2011 11:55:55 +0000

Daimer's Vapor-Flo 7775s can connect to a water source and operate away from a fixed water source by allowing operators to manually add water through a chamber on top of the unit.

/EINPresswire.com/ Woburn, MA--June 16, 2011--Daimer Industries, Inc., a primary vendor of 50Hz cleaning technology around the globe, is now accepting orders for a new line of electric pressure washer machines offering a manual refill option. The new Vapor-Flo(R) 7775 line of equipment supports the most portability in the 7700 machines series while incorporating all the advanced technologies that make electric powered and heated units popular.

"The portable Vapor-Flo(R) 7775s includes high pressure cleaning and temperatures using only 50 Hz electrical power -- a real boon to cleaning pros operating in fume/exhaust-sensitive facilities," explained Daimer.com's Matthew Baratta in a recent phone interview. "From their very inception, this line of equipment was designed to provide a higher level of portability for use in environments without a direct water connection."

"Go Almost Anywhere" Electric Pressure Washer Machines

Daimer(R)'s 7775 equipment includes a special case that sports a top-loading water chamber. The chamber can be accessed by the operator for added water. As a result, the machines offer two modes of cleaning: if users are near a water supply, they can simply use the included hose; if users are away from a water supply, they can refill by hand.

The machines use only electric power for both heating and pressure-productions, which means less noise during operation and no exhaust from fuel combustion. The newest electric pressure washer machines will achieve 96.1°C for heated cleaning. For applications that are sensitive to heat, the machines can operate in a non/unheated mode.

For pressure, the electric pressure washer systems can attain pressure levels rated as much as 130 bar, or 1880 psi in domestic measurements. The units also provide for water flows of about 3.8 LPM.

Each of the new three-phase electric pressure washer systems is bundled with Daimer(R)'s Continual-Use pump design. The systems also ship with international-grade, trigger and wand units, an array of highly-pressured nozzles and an enhanced hose.

Daimer(R) sells a variety of 7775-class electric pressure washer machines with comparable performance and different case designs.

For additional information about Daimer(R)'s line of electric pressure washer equipment, institutional pressure washers, gas pressure washers or best electric power washers for indoor applications, visit www.daimer.com/pressure-washers/ or call Matthew Baratta at (888) 507-2220. Super Max™ pressure washers are available to customers in most countries.

About Daimer Industries, Inc.(R): Daimer(R), www.daimer.com, is a major supplier and worldwide exporter of the cleaning industry's leading line of KleenJet(R) steam cleaners/vapor steam cleaners/steam cleaning equipment; Super Max™ commercial and industrial pressure washers, including cold water, hot water, and steam pressure washing machines; and XTreme Power(R) floor cleaners, including carpet cleaners and hard surface cleaners.

Flippers Pizzeria Recaps Latest Restaurant Improvements & Announces Future Innovations

Sun, 22 May 2011 20:41:14 +0000

One of Central Florida's most popular pizzerias reveals new and future improvements for the brand.

/EINPresswire.com/ Today, Flippers Pizzeria revealed details on how the company has enhanced the customer dine-in experience over the past year and how it plans to further enhance it in 2011.

Ben Richardson, VP of Operations at Flippers Pizzeria, mentioned the importance of the customer experience at the Orlando, Florida-based pizzeria. "We really care about the comfort of our customers when they dine at our restaurants," said Richardson. "In addition to the great customer service from our wait staff, we have created an environment that features all the comforts of home."

For starters, Flippers Pizzeria has installed high-definition flat-screen TVs in all 11 of their Central Florida restaurants. "We have kept the sound off so those that want to talk can do so without interruption and we leave the captioning on for those that want to watch TV. This also allows us to keep our background music on to maintain the desired atmosphere for all of our guests," said Richardson.

Another new addition to Flippers Pizzeria this year is the expanded beer menu. Wine and beer have always been available at Flippers Pizzeria, setting it apart from other area pizzerias, but now, in an effort to further enhance the guest experience, Flippers Pizzeria is offering craft-style beers on tap. The new offering is in response to an increasing consumer interest in craft beers.

According to Richardson, four Flippers Pizzeria locations currently offer the craft beers, with further restaurants following suit later this year. "Our draft beers were specifically selected to complement our pizzas," said Richardson. The company is currently offering two organic local brews from Orlando Brewery on draft, including Blonde Ale and Pale Ale. It is also offering Sam Adams Boston Lager and Sam Adams Seasonal.

Beyond the atmospheric improvements and new menu additions (eight new menu items were added this year), Fans of Flippers Pizzeria now have a new way to show their support for their favorite pizzeria—Flippers t-shirts, now available in all 11 Central Florida locations.

The new Flippers Pizzeria t-shirts are available in stores only at this time and come in both white and black. "At only $11 each, the whole family can get a tee," said Kelly Pfister, Marketing Director of Flippers Pizzeria. "We made them affordable for our fans who want to show off their support for our brand—we value their opinions and enthusiasm for our products."

According to Flippers executives, future innovations for 2011 include free Wi-Fi in all restaurants and a new iPhone application and mobile ordering system, scheduled for launch around August of this year. "The trend of smart phones accessing the Web is on the rise, and we are dedicated to making our ordering site as accessible and user-friendly as possible," said Richardson.

It's clear that 2011 is turning out to be a historic year for the 24-year-old Orlando pizza company. Franchising opportunities are being well received, and the company remains committed to its promise of fresh, honest ingredients. "At Flippers, not only do we have a passion for making the perfect pizza—we are also committed to making the customer experience the best it can be," said Richardson. "We are thrilled to be making the necessary enhancements to make this happen."

Since 1987, Flippers Pizzeria has been serving Central Florida's tourists, residents, students, and businesses the perfect pizza while making numerous charitable donations to the local community. Today, there are eleven Flippers Pizzeria restaurants in Central Florida.

ABOUT FLIPPERS PIZZERIA: "Fresh Honest Ingredients."

Fri, 22 Apr 2011 09:52:14 +0000

T-Shirts from Flippers Pizzeria are now available for $11 for a limited time. The company announced prizes for those who submit photos of themselves wearing the t-shirts.

Today, Flippers Pizzeria announced that the company will be giving away over $175.00 in Flippers credit to fans who participate in their new fan photo contest.

According to marketing director, Kelly Pfister, three fans will be selected to receive Flippers credit in increments of $100, $50, and $25 simply by submitting photos to the pizzeria that feature the new Flippers Pizzeria t-shirt.

"Participation is simple," said Pfister. "All participants need to do is 'like' the Flippers Pizzeria Facebook page, then e-mail a photo of themselves in their new Flippers Pizzeria tee, now available at all 11 Flippers Pizzeria locations, to the e-mail address revealed in the contest rules."

According to Pfister, once collected through e-mail, photos will be posted by contest creators to a Facebook photo album, where users will be able to "like" their favorite photos. Winners will be selected based on the number of "likes" that their photo receives from other fans: "This is great because participants are in control—the more friends they tell to 'like' their photo, the better their chances of winning… Of course, those friends must be a current fan of Flippers Pizzeria in order to 'like' their friend's photo, so we build fans and exposure in the process."
