Local Chef Preparing Authentic Chinese Food in Williamsburg, NYC
April 20, 2012 by Leave a Comment
Brooklyn Wok Shop opened two and a half months ago in the notoriously hip and culinarily erudite neighborhood of Williamsburg in Brooklyn, N.Y. The restaurant’s most popular dish is General Tso’s chicken.
A preference for the most ordinary of Chinese-American takeout staples could seem peculiar in a neighborhood whose denizens thrive on food like shrimp with house-cured lardo at Betto restaurant or sunchoke soup with pickled shallot, fried rosemary and brandied cherries at Diner. However, Chinese takeout classics are what you’re supposed to get at Brooklyn Wok Shop, where the chicken specialty is on the menu for $10.50, along with typical beef and broccoli for $11.50 — $12.50 with a fried egg on top — and wonton soup for $12.50.
The dishes are served in a 60-seat modern urban restaurant with blond wood slats for walls and 1950s and ’60s pop music playing on the sound system.The average per-person check ranges from $22 to $26, according to chef-owner Edric Har.

David’s Teas Integrates Multiple IT systems for One Platform including scheduling, POS and inventory management
April 19, 2012 by Leave a Comment
While the company’s rapid growth is just what business owners want, it has also presented challenges — most notably within the IT systems. The inventory and sales systems were not connected, so the system might show an inventory balance, but not provide any value to it. The warehouse management system lacked the ability to track each store’s inventory to a specific location within the facility. And because the merchandising system lacked effective forecasting or replenishment tools, the buying function was handled via spreadsheets.
Management needed a way to assemble more accurate information in order to reduce stock-outs and increase inventory turns. Choquette and his colleagues began looking for a new system in early 2010, ultimately deciding on Microsoft Dynamics AX.

Production of the crop more than tripled to 14,000 metric tons the past decade as farmers expanded rooibos plantings to meet demand from companies including the world’s largest coffee shop operator and Nestle SA (NESN), the biggest food company.Tea consumption is increasing as health-conscious consumers spurn sugary and caffeinated beverages. Rooibos, like green tea, contains antioxidants that boost the immune system, calcium and fluoride. The drink constitutes about 10 percent of the herbal tea market and 1 percent of a global tea market that has an estimated value of $23 billion, according to the South African Rooibos Council.
