New Touchless Hot Desk and Meeting Room Management Version Helps Better Workplace Safety for the Post-Pandemic Return to Work

NEW YORK CITY, N.Y. -- To meet the changing work dynamic brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic, ResourceXpress Inc. has announced a major upgrade to its flagship ResourceXpress Workspace and Conference Room booking solution to enable touchless booking, social distancing and support for safety restrictions in office hot desk or hoteling workspaces and conference rooms.

The pandemic has created pressure to implement socially-distanced office workspace and meeting room environments, reducing the density and capacity of existing real-estate and requiring organizations to better utilize the space they have. In many cases, employees will no longer have permanent desks, they will book hot desk usage for when they are in the office location.

Gartner Group suggests nearly three in four CFOs plan to shift at least 5% of previously on-site employees to remote positions. Similarly, a recent Osterman Research publication reported over 50% of organizations will increase their work-from-home policies.

Touchless Devices and Mobile First for Safety

To address the new office environment, Version 5 of ResourceXpress introduces hands free use of its Aura LED meeting room screens and QUBI3 desk screens to the workspace. This leverages built-in RFID technology to touchlessly read security badges to book, check-in and extend the use of a workspace.

Additionally, a QR code can be embedded into a meeting room screen display so the employee can use their mobile phone to scan the QR code and book the space directly from their phone. The kiosk capability of ResourceXpress allows a user to use their mobile device or a regularly sanitized touch-screen kiosk to view a floorplan map showing room and hot desk availability and out-of-service status.

Social Distancing and Safety Restrictions

ResourceXpress V5 introduces an automatic cleandown extension to a booking to allow cleaning staff to decontaminate a workspace before the next person uses it.

The new "ringfencing" feature restricts contiguous workspace usage, so if an employee books a space, the related workspaces are automatically put into an "out-of-service" color-coded status so they cannot be booked.

And by capturing data about when employees book hot desks and attend meetings, ResourceXpress can assist in contact tracing procedures.

ResourceXpress' Broadcast feature allows room screens to display policy reminders to employees on the use of workspaces.

ResourceXpress integrates with most enterprise calendaring and workplace management systems including Office365, Google, Accruent (EMS) and FM:Systems (Resource Scheduler). It can be installed in a SaaS cloud environment or in the customer's data center.

V5 of ResourceXpress will be available in June 2020.

Clive Horton, CEO of ReSoft International in New York City, the master reseller for ResourceXpress in North America, comments "The pandemic is bringing about enormous change to work practices and technologies like ResourceXpress will help in providing a safe, secure environment for employees".

Andy Fisher, Business Development Manager for ResourceXpress Inc. adds "We have listened closely to our customers and are committed to introducing a range of additional features which reflect new ways of working to ensure the workplace is a safer place."

Melita’s Table Delivers a Revolutionary Cinco De Mayo Feast

LAS VEGAS, Nev. -- Cinco de Mayo has become one of the most beloved and celebrated days of the year. Though many Nevadans will enjoy the historic date at home this year, there's no reason to avoid dancing, margaritas and an amazing vegan taco creation made special by Melita's Table.

In November 2019, veteran Vegas restauranteur Kori McClurg opened Melita's Table, a plant-based delivery and catering only kitchen concept. Las Vegas has happily embraced this healthy, all-natural Latin-based option.

To celebrate the success, and provide vegan delights for Cinco de Mayo, Melita's Table has created Butter Lettuce Shell Tacos. The new shells provide a zesty alternative to the flavorless iceberg lettuce wraps of old.

Try a revolutionary taco trend to celebrate Cinco de Mayo, which commemorates the 1862 Mexican military victory over the French forces of Napoleon III.

The new butter lettuce wraps provide plenty of space to pile on quinoa, lentil picadillo and marinated citrus portobello. The new taco design delivers all the flavor without the gluten or meat.

Melita's Table is not just for those with special dietary needs. We are here to provide all-natural Latin offerings to customers who crave Old World flavors fused with modern-day health options; including nut-free, soy free, gluten free, and oil free menu items.

Melita's Table is aimed at customers who demand meals that stress healthy ingredients and environmental sustainability.

"Amazing flavor is what we do," McClurg said. "We bring Old World wholesome foods right to your door."

Don't let this year's Cinco de Mayo go to waste with second-rate food. Think like a health-minded revolutionary. Go for the zest and zing with Butter Lettuce Shell Vegan Tacos loaded with juicy and flavorful citrus portobello, cucumber salsa, cilantro, guacamole and pico.

Our Butter Lettuce Shell Tacos are not just amazing, but they go perfectly with our incredible Tres Leches Cake. This traditional Latin treat comes saturated with a sweet frosting glaze. The cake is so good, you might not want to share. But in the spirit of May 5th, we're sure you will find a way.

All of our gluten-free and vegan offerings are available for delivery and pick-up through DoorDash, UberEats, Postmates and Grubhub.

Let's celebrate Cinco de Mayo together with the best and healthiest food since the revolution. Viva Cinco de Mayo and taco lovers everywhere.

‘Disinfecting of hotels like hospitals and healthcare facilities will be the new norm going forward’ says DisinfectHotels.com

FULLERTON, Calif. -- Standard routine chemical cleaning and sanitizing are not enough to battle the bacteria and viruses found in many hotel environments, says Disinfect Hotels (DisinfectHotels.com). UV-C surface and air treatments can be used as a disinfection measure to combat dangerous pathogens found in many hotel rooms and facilities.

DisinfectHotels.com is dedicated in bringing products, services, training and technologies specializing in the UV-C ultraviolet light disinfection technology. It is a non-chemical approach to disinfection. UV-C light destroys microorganisms, including bacteria, virus, protest, fungus and mold. Ultraviolet disinfection attacks the DNA/RNA of a cell, rendering it unable to reproduce or spread.

The high energy from short wavelength UV-C light is absorbed in the cellular RNA and DNA, damaging nucleic acids and preventing microorganisms from infecting and reproducing.

DisinfectHotels.com is committed to bringing disinfection products, services, technologies and the training to hotel maintenance and housekeeping departments that, up until now, have been exclusively utilized in hospitals, surgery rooms and other healthcare facilities to hotels using UV-C ultraviolet light technology.

Simple cleaning and sanitizing will not be enough. "Disinfecting of hotels like hospitals and healthcare facilities will be the new norm going forward," said Sabir S. Jaffer, Co-Founder of Disinfect Hotels.

For additional information and details regarding acquiring the products and training for your hotel facilities to implement routine disinfecting processes, please visit https://disinfecthotels.com/ to learn more.

Las Vegas Restaurant Franchise Focuses on Equal Opportunity and Provides Leadership Roles for Women!

LAS VEGAS, Nev. -- Ori'Zaba's, one of Las Vegas's most popular scratch Mexican food franchises, has become a leading voice - and employer - for women who seek leadership roles in the restaurant industry.

The nineteen-year-old Mexican food franchise was founded by longtime Las Vegas restaurateur Kori McClurg, a military veteran and corporate executive, who understands the value women managers, employees and leaders bring to a company.

After serving in the United States Air Force and working as a defense contractor, Kori developed strong analytic and leadership skills, which she most recently put to work managing private investments and as an owner of Ori'Zaba's Scratch Mexican Grill.

"As a woman, who has fought her way up in the military and also the corporate chain of command, I know the challenges women face in the workplace. That's why Ori'Zaba's stresses a culture that celebrates women leaders," McClurg said.

The company actively engages in a hiring and promotional process that increases the number of talented women in leadership roles. More than 80 percent of the of Ori'Zaba's Franchise General Managers are women. About 60 percent of the company's executive team are women.

"Women make up the majority of the population and it's about time companies and franchises reflect that reality and bring more women into all workplaces," McClurg said.

"We wanted to enhance our culture, improve training, and reduce turnover. The people we have in our GM positions have been able to achieve that. I believe that is a testament to skills that are not traditionally thought of as strong leadership characteristics. When we start thinking about what actually impacts our business and the bottom line versus what makes a 'strong' leader, these women have been able to make a difference," McClurg said.

In honor of International Women's Day 2020, which takes place March 8, and to truly understand the significance of Ori'Zaba's commitment, McClurg said it is important to highlight the history of the international women's rights movement.

The History of International Women's Day
Since the first gathering in 1911, International Women's Day (IWD) has been celebrated annually on March 8.

In that time, the women's rights movement has celebrated many victories, including but not limited to:

* In 1948, the United Nations adopted the first international document to assert "the dignity and worth of the human person and [the] equal rights of men and women."
* In 1979, the UN General Assembly adopted the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women.
* In 2017, the Women's March on Washington, DC, became the largest international mass demonstration in support of women's rights. Affiliated marches were held in Accra, Bangkok, Paris, Nairobi, Belgrade, Buenos Aires, Krakow, and even Antarctica.

Women in Leadership

By 2018, women made up nearly half (46.9%) of the whole US labor force, yet they only accounted for slightly over a third (40.0%) of managers.

Believe it or not, in 2019, there were still fewer women in leadership positions than there were men named John.

That figure seems astounding in light of research conducted by Harvard Business Review found that, "Women Score Higher Than Men in Most Leadership Skills."

"As a woman who has served in the military and in the corporate world, I do understand the challenges that women face in the workplace. My intention has been to create a place where people can be successful right along with the company. Because of my experience, I have the objectivity to see what's actually valuable versus the way things have always been done or who has always done them," McClurg said.

There is no doubt that the healthy growth of Ori'Zaba's franchise family, since its creation in 2001, is in great part due to these amazing energetic women leaders.

Ladies, on behalf of the whole Ori'Zaba's franchise family - thank you!

Frisky Cat Café Opening in St Augustine

ST. AUGUSTINE, Fla. -- Frisky Cat Café is just a few short weeks away from being the first cat café in St Augustine. Never heard of a cat café? Now's the chance to experience one. And, there are more coming to cities around the country. Frisky Cat Café is partnering with Bold Bean Coffee Roasters and will be located at 1092 S. Ponce De Leon.

So, what exactly is a cat café? Some may think it's a place to take you kitty for a coffee break or to meet up and play with other cats, but it's not. It's actually designed for people who love cats, but can't have one of their own. At the Frisky Cat Café, people have the opportunity to cozy up with a sweet, purring kitty when they want.

Upon entering Frisky Cat Café guests are welcomed by the scents of craft coffee, fresh baked goods and more. Guests are welcome to enjoy their favorite coffee while making new friends or even adopt one of the furry cat residents.

Cats are waiting beyond the café area in a room divided from the eatery by a door and windows. This creates a complete separation between the food and felines. However, guests are more than welcome to bring their food or drink with them into the cat lounge. Those with allergies, or who do not wish to visit the cat room, may enjoy a view of the cats through the glass panel. play.

Why a cat café?

"First and foremost, we're here to save lives," Carla Forrest, founder of Small Lives Matter, says. "Most cats are not able to handle the stress of living in cages at a shelter; they can shut down, become unfriendly and aggressive and seem 'un-adoptable' (a fast-track to euthanasia). We work with dedicated cat guardians to provide a quiet, interactive, free roaming and cageless environment where adult cats can thrive."

Cat café proceeds will directly support rescue efforts such as vet care, support for foster homes, and the trapping, neutering and returning of feral cats (commonly known as TNR, helping to curb the feral cat population).

"Our cat café is saving lives by enriching humans with cat interaction while providing relief for both stressed-out cats and humans," Forrest explains. "We believe people become much better people when they're around animals and we believe all cats are adoptable."

Don't believe it? Visit the Frisky Cat Café website and read all about the healing power of cat purrs. Much like people, cats and kittens need love, affection and a space to call home.

The Frisky Cat Café has a chic minimalistic vibe. The Nordic styles, comfy velvet furniture, furry pillows, floor futons, free WiFi, café tables and of course - kitties - create a luxe atmosphere that's sure to make people smile.

About Frisky Cat Café

Scheduled to open in February 2020, the Frisky Cat café is a cat lounge plus a café where great coffee and a fun and entertaining environment is created for its customers and cat residents.

Johnny Manhattan’s is the First Restaurant in Washington County to Offer a Keto Friendly Menu

HUBERTUS, Wis. -- Johnny Manhattan's Steakhouse is announcing a keto diet friendly menu. The Milwaukee area supper club has been serving the greater Milwaukee area for more than twenty years, but still keeps up with dining trends and is one of the first in the area to create a menu that allows diners who are sticking to a very-low-carb, moderate-protein, and high-fat diet while out at a restaurant or supper club.

According to restaurant owner Nancy Manhattan, "Most Keto dieters understand the principles of what they can and cannot eat, but without a commitment from the restaurant, there are the hidden ingredients that find their way in. Added sauces or gravies can sneak in sources of carbohydrates from added sugars or flour that you were not intending to eat.

She added, "With the unveiling of the Keto menu at Johnny Manhattan's Keto diners can be assured that their choices will conform to their dietary restrictions."

Keto is becoming more mainstream and chefs at Johnny Manhattan's understand that customers need to modify their meals. Bartenders at the supper club also understand that the supper club experience often includes a cocktail. There are several options for the Keto diet at the bar as well.

New Cat Cafe Combines Cats and Coffee – What’s Not to Like?

ST. AUGUSTINE, Fla. -- Small Lives Matter Kitten Rescue Inc., a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization specializing in saving sick and orphaned kittens, announces that they are partnering with Whiskers Cafe, LLC and Bold Bean Coffee Roasters to open Frisky Cat Cafe at 1092 S. Ponce De Leon Blvd. in St. Augustine, Florida. It's a first-of-its-kind cat cafe, combining a coffee beverage cafe with a cat lounge.

After forming the nonprofit kitten rescue in lighting speed from May to August 2019, this small, foster-based rescue surpassed all its goals, nearing 2,500 Facebook followers and saving 103 cats and kittens, in just four short months of operation.

"We're so excited to have this cool new venue," Carla Forrest, founder Small Lives Matter, says. "We hope the community embraces it as much as we think they will."

Frisky Cat Cafe is a unique service business that combines a coffee beverage cafe with a cat lounge where patrons can visit with cats whiling drinking their favorite beverage. People are encouraged to pick a day and time to visit with and play with the adoptable kitties in Frisky's Cat Lounge. People can visit for an hour or attend one of the specialty classes - Cats and Yoga or Kitten Palooza. There are a variety of different experiences from which to choose.

This new local, St. Augustine cafe will offer a variety of coffee beverages and bakery items. The coffee beverage cafe is a completely separate space from the cat lounge and all food is prepared off-site and packaged by The Knead Bakery.

The newly remodeled space is clean and chic. Furry friends, Nordic styles, comfy velvet furniture, luxe pillows, floor futons and coffee tables all add to the relaxing and inviting vibe.

"Our cafe cats are skilled furry therapists. Our customers meet, play, relax and cuddle with highly social, 'pawsome' cat residents and adoptable rescue cats by purchasing a cat experience," Forrest says.

The cat experiences fund the cafe's cozy environment and offer a unique therapeutic experience for cat lovers while sustaining a stimulating and comfortable home for lovable homeless cats until they are adopted. Proceeds from adoptions goes to Small Lives Matter Rescue to help fund their mission to save underage kittens and unwanted adult cats whose lives are ending at local shelters.
