SUPPLIES AND SERVICES SYSTEM MANAGES BOTTLED WATER Flojet Bottled Water System Plus from Xylem Flow Control dispenses fresh water to coffee machines or any other application where portable potable water is needed. Pump shuts off when the water source is depleted and automatically restarts when water is restored, eliminating the chance of any damage to the pump and control box from running dry. Flojet's exclusive quick connect port fittings make installation and replacement of suction and discharge tubing fast and simple. This system is up to 25 percent more energy efficient than other bottled water systems on the market. Visit www.flojet.com for more information. COSTA RICAN VARIETAL IS RICH, PLEASANT Artissimo is the new super-premium coffee in the Don Francisco line from F. Gaviña & Sons Inc. Artissimo is created using the best Arabica beans from micro-lots in Costa Rica's Central Valley. Carefully selected by Michael Gaviña, Artissimo is a single source coffee, originating in Costa Rica's Central Valley, known for its favorable volcanic soil and climate. Perfectly roasted to enhance the coffee's natural characteristics, Artissimo offers a clean cup with a pleasant aftertaste, and unlike standard Costa Rican coffees, provides a heavier body that's particularly evident in its milk chocolate finish. Visit www.donfransicos.com for more information. POS SYSTEM RUNS ON IPAD MINI A new version of ShopKeep POS turns the iPad mini into a compact, portable cash register. ShopKeep POS iPad mini uses the MagTek uDynamo credit card swiper to allow merchants to take orders from customers right as they walk into the store. The cashier can go down the line ringing up orders, accepting credit cards for payment, printing them to the kitchen and e-mailing receipts to customers. Customers can go straight to the pick-up counter for their order. Priced at $49/month, the ShopKeep POS iPad mini register is a remarkable breakthrough for small business and quick-serve restaurants who grapple with long lines, especially during morning rush hour and lunchtime.
