Professional Athletes and Outdoorsmen Find Increased Energy and Vigor From New Instant Healthy Coffee Beverages Ten Times More Powerful Than Ginseng

(PRWEB) November 16, 2005

Cupofmoney.com, an affiliate of Gano Excel, announced today that their new instant healthy coffee beverages are becoming extremely popular with professional athletes, boxers, body builders, sports activists, outdoorsmen and campers.

Each of the company’s products are individually and neatly packed in small sachets making them great for travel and outdoor events. Outdoorsmen find these healthy beverage sachets convenient for fishing, camping and hiking, while sports enthusiasts find them convenient anytime they need an instant boost of energy. By simply adding hot water, the beverages can be enjoyed at the gym, at a baseball game, or even on the top of a mountain.

Professional athletes and boxers enjoy the health benefits of the active ingredient in these beverages, known as ganoderma lucidum, the miraculous king of herbs, and is said to be ten times more powerful than Ginseng. This active ingredient helps the body heal faster and can dramatically increase recovery times during training. Ganoderma acts as an immune booster and helps the body fight disease the way nature intended.

Ganoderma Lucidum (the natural substance in all of Gano Excel’s products) is said to help enhance health by removing toxins from the body and then building up the body’s immune system.

Ganoderma Lucidum is the scientific name for a species of Red Mushrooms and is said to be more powerful than Ginseng. Known as the “Miraculous King of Herbs,” Ganoderma (also known as Lingzhi in China, Reishi in Japan, and Youngchi in Korea) is listed as a Superior Herb in Sheng Nong’s Pharmacopeia, an ancient Chinese Herbal Text dating back over 2,000 years.

Gano Excel is a global company with corporate headquarters in Malaysia, and operations and offices in 21 countries and growing. Founded in 1995, Gano Excel has over one million consumers and Independent Distributors worldwide. Gano Excel (USA) maintains office and warehouse facilities in California. Gano Excel (Canada) maintains office and warehouse facilities in Richmond, B.C.

With the rising number of health conscious baby boomers looking to enjoy healthier and more balanced lifestyles, the company’s new gourmet healthy coffee is rapidly replacing regular coffee in households across North America.

The company has adopted an affordable gourmet healthy coffee franchise concept where entrepreneurs can start their own home based gourmet healthy coffee franchise for as little as $ 1000. They can retail the products, set up additional sales teams across North America, and market products through an online store that will be available to a total of 100 countries within the next 5 years. The company’s “direct to door” shipping elimates the huge overhead and inventory expenses that are required to run conventional coffee shops.

Many franchise owners are already experiencing sales that are exceeding $ 10,000 per day. Over the past 22 months over 50,000 entrepreneurs in North America have opened home based gourmet healthy coffee franchises. They are each positioning themselves to capitalize on the company’s expansion into a total of 100 countries by the year 2010.

Here are some coffee industry facts:

Coffee is the second largest commodity in the world — next to oil.

Starbucks buys over 100 million pounds of coffee each year.

2.4 billion pounds of coffee are sold per year in the United States.

The United States is the world’s largest consumer of coffee.

The entire U.S. population consumes more than 500 million cups a day.

A typical cup of coffee contains approximately 138 mg of caffeine. The unique blend of ganoderma in this product neutralizes the caffeine dramatically to only 9 mg per cup, but still provides that “lift” and boost in energy that coffee drinkers are looking for, but without the caffeine jitters.

Cupofmoney.com provides online ordering and direct to door delivery for their entire line of products. Simply log-on to www.cupofmoney.com; click on shop, click on general and choose from the companies list of healthy beverages: mocha, classic, 3 in 1, tea, or even hot chocolate.

Customers that register for the company’s autoship program can experience substantial discounts off of retail pricing, in addition to every 7th order being free.

As a successful businessman with many years experience of running a shop fitting company and setting up and running coffee shops, Don Clarke knows the two most important factors for a successful shop are location, location, location and staff.

With regard to managing staff, Don quickly realized something that was contradictory to accepted beliefs: the customer does not come first – your staff should come first! If your employees are happy, then they will give excellent service to your customers, and your customers will be happy. So, it is worth taking note of the following points:

1. Teach your staff how to handle difficult situations. If you observe them handling a difficult situation badly, do not criticize. Tell them “I don’t know how I would have dealt with that problem – I’ll need to think about it”

2. Treat your staff with courtesy and respect. They will usually give the same in return.

3. Discuss your training requirements with your supervisors before you begin to train your staff, so that your management structure is cohesive and working towards the same goals.

4. Set weekly or monthly training sessions. Use these sessions to highlight strengths and weaknesses of your staff, and ask your staff if there are any points they wish to raise.

5. NEVER reprimand any member of staff in front of other staff or customers. If you have a complaint with their work, discuss this in private.

6. If you have a problem with a member of staff, raise the problem you wish to discuss and finish with praise. If you manage your staff with tact, they will listen to your complaint without resentment.

7. Finally, remember – you are creating a team, without your team you do not have a business.

With regard to the location of a coffee shop, many people overlook this starting point. They look for a shop that will cost them the least rent and tell themselves that their shop will be run so well that people will flock to it. But remember, consumers are fickle! And lazy! If your shop is not in the right place, whatever you do and whatever you offer, your business will be limited by its location.

So, don’t commit yourself to any premises until you know how many people will pass by your shop each day. You will be investing a huge amount of your time and money into your new business and you really won’t want it to fail. Put aside as much time as possible to find the best position for your shop. Take a clipboard and stand outside a popular coffee shop – count how many people walk past the shop and how many stop for a coffee. Do this at different times of the day, and different days of the week. Take a note of the nearby shops that are attracting shoppers – you need your coffee shop to be convenient for people who “shop ’til they drop” and then need refreshment.

On average, customers tend to spend around £4 a head in a coffee shop, perhaps slightly more in expensive areas. You can use this as a basis to work out how many customers you will need per day to cover your costs and make a profit. So, if your operating costs, which will include repayment of setting up costs, wages, food, utility bills and last, but not least, profits, require you to make £3500 per week, you will need at least 125 people per day spending a minimum of £4 each, to give you the £500 needed per day, based on a 7 day working week.

So remember – do the maths first and foremost and make sure your shop is in a location where it will have enough passing trade to cover your costs. Treat your staff well and you are on the way to turning coffee into gold!

Public Access Wireless LAN Case Studies

October 1st, 2003

Mind Commerce Publications

There is simply no other research on the market of this kind. This highly valuable and timely report focuses on the public access WLAN or “hot spot” market from a case study perspective. No other report focuses on the existing worldwide hot spot business from the perspective of the hot spot operators themselves.

This report answers important questions:

•    What is working and what is not working in the hot spot market?

•    What are the rational business models for hot spot operation?

•    Who are the leading worldwide hot spot operators and why?

•    Which hot spot operators will be successful for the long-term and why?

This report provides additional valuable information including:

•    Profile of the types of hot spot customers and their usage demands and requirements

•    Business case analysis for hot spot operation

•    Case study review, analysis and recommendations for representative hot spot service providers in three continents including 11 operators in North America, 10 operators in Europe, and 12 operators in Asia.

“By mid-2004, we predict that many small hotspot operators will go out of business in North America. A few will be bought out by large telecom operators, who finally commit to the hotspot idea and actually start launches.”

Who will survive? Who will prosper and why?

Case study coverage for each hot spot operator includes:

•    Number of hot spots deployed

•    Hot spot operator strategy

•    Pricing structure

•    Partners

•    Outlook and recommendations

Sample summary excerpt from report:

Metronet (Austria)

Metronet is Austria’s biggest hotspot operator. It signed a deal with T-Mobile Austria to provide WLAN hotspot access to T-Mobile customers as well.

Metronet Hotspots

Metronet has approximately 290 hotspots, located in coffee shops, airports, and hotels.

Metronet Subscription/Access Options

Metronet has several subscription plans available.

    Business Plan: 19.50 USD per month plus .35 USD per MB

    Student: 6.50 USD per month plus .35 USD per MB

    Surfer: 13 USD per month plus .65 USD per MB

    Prepaid: 21. 50 USD for 120 minutes

Metronet Strategy

Metronet has adopted the strategy of offering many different plans suited to a variety of users. It has deployed a relatively large number of hotspots, and will continue to expand rapidly throughout 2003.

Metronet Outlook and Recommendations

Metronet will continue to expand the hotspot business and become an innovator during 2003. On the negative side, we believe that its plans are for the most part too expensive and, for the non-corporate customer, difficult to understand. They should rework the subscriptions on both fronts. Nonetheless, the outlook for Metronet favorable, especially if it maintains its deployment pace, markets more aggressively and lowers prices.

Method of research and analysis:

The primary market research was obtained through a series of interviews with experts in the field as well as discussions with hot spot operators and on-site interviews at various hot spot venues with local service managers, venue owners, and customers. The primary and secondary market research analysis was conducted by Mind Commerce WLAN expert, Zaga Novakovic, with input and review from other experts in the field.

Mind Commerce believes this research represents the most comprehensive analysis of worldwide hot spot operators to date.

Original or bust! Copy-catting design may seem like a sure-fire recipe for success, but in the long term it will do your coffee shop more harm than good.

Here is the content of an email I received recently from a reader in Saudi Arabia:

Dear Nigel,

I am an owner of coffee drive-through and recently I opened a dine-in shop.

I designed my coffee shop to be modern, basing the style on pictures from the net and getting ideas from some famous restaurants — but the final result is not really very attractive, in my opinion

I have opened the shop, but business is slow and I feel an improvement in the design would go a long way towards at­tracting more customers.

How would you suggest I do this?

I often receive letters like this, from outlet owners who have copied designs and ended up with unsuccessful outlets.

To be fair, you can find these kinds of short-lived, derivative, copy-cat designs pretty much wherever you go in the world, not just in the Middle East — but it is true that most of the outlets that have sprung up in the hotels and malls of Dubai have been done before elsewhere.

If you’d prefer a new, exciting, successful outlet then you should adopt the MAYA principle: ‘Most Advanced Yet Acceptable’.

I don’t claim to have invented this ethos; it was first used by famous American industrial designer Raymond Loewy, who made fortunes convincing the corporations of America to be original by simply asserting that “ugly doesn’t sell”.

My message is that if you want to create a truly successful, recession-proof concept, you have to break the mould.

Frustratingly, my attempts to convince operators in the region to do anything new and original have nearly always been met with scepticism.

I have come to the reluctant conclusion that this comes down to a cultural division: despite its veneer of modernity, the Middle East remains obstinately conservative.

Businesses operated via the ‘command, control and procurement’ school of thought are ultimately cost-driven and out-moded, compared with the flexible and imaginative methods seen in Europe and America.

This applies across business generally, but F&B outlets in particular can benefit when creativity is at the centre of their propositions.

The problem is that to originate a truly new MAYA café or restaurant, a lot of ‘wrong’ ideas have to be discarded, so there’s no way of shortcutting with a quick, cheap design pitch. No matter how hard you stamp your feet in front of your designer, an origi­nal idea will take time and money.

Here’s the nub of the problem: it’s all about trust. Designers offering MAYA are in effect saying, ‘pay us a lot and we’ll deliver something we can’t yet picture and we’re not sure how long it will take to deliver’.

For most operators with bosses or banks to please, on tight budgets and timescales, this is not a very attractive message! It’s far more controllable and comfortable to buy in a well-worn franchise.

And what makes originality even harder to implement is that all operators have a tendency to revert to the emotional safety of what they already know works, even though the idea may be old hat.

This may help your business meet short-term objectives, but is unlikely to be a safe and successful long-term strategy — after all, you can’t lead by following.

At the end of the day, a MAYA design will always outperform a boring, tried-and-tested, ‘safe’ formula.

So if your outlet is quiet, maybe it’s time to stop looking outwards to see what new ideas the world can give you.

Instead, why not trust and empower your designer and look inside yourself to see what new ideas you can give to the world?

Robot From Fresh Roast Systems, Inc. Becomes First Automated Coffee Roaster to be Recognized by Ken Davids

Key Biscayne, FL (PRWEB) May 6, 2007

Fresh Roast Systems, Inc. announces that Texas Roast Coffee has received an impressive 89-point review from leading coffee authority Ken Davids of Coffee Review for coffee roasted on their fully automated roasting machine.

“The Fresh Roast System is the sous-chef in our kitchen,” says Texas Roast owner Jeff Schneider. Schneider founded the Rockwall, TX, coffee shop and roasting business less than one year ago after returning from military duty in Iraq, with no prior coffee roasting experience or formal training.

By obtaining such a high rating on Coffee Review’s 100-point scale for their Cowboy Coffee blend, Texas Roast enters an elite class of specialty coffee craftsmen. Mr. Davids describes the blend as having a “very impressive aroma” and “grapefruit notes with distinct cedar and semi-sweet chocolate.”

“Ever since the review, online sales of our coffee have been booming,” says Schneider.

“This achievement is going to raise some eyebrows in our industry,” notes specialty coffee industry consultant Andrew Hetzel. “Some traditionalists will always be skeptical of new technologies, but I believe that this proves automation can be an effective tool that will allow any business to roast craftsman-quality coffee with minimal requirements.”

Mr. Schneider is planning additional Texas Roast locations in coming months, each of which will be outfitted with its own automated roaster.

About Texas Roast

Texas Roast serves fresh baked pastries and fresh roasted coffee daily in their coffee shop at 2435 Ridge Road, Rockwall, Texas. For more information call (972) 722-6336 or to order coffee online, visit their website at http://www.texasroast.com.

While the most popular video games generally involve shooting zombies or fighting dragons, there are some that are more educational and adult in their offerings. Coffee Tycoon is among these games. This game is among the business simulator games that are popular on the Internet today. They are oftentimes associated with the various social networking sites and, quite often, friends will participate in each other’s simulated businesses as customers or in other roles. This game requires you to build up your coffee empire starting from scratch. Get 1 million people to come into your coffee shops and you win the game!

Coffee Tycoon actually requires players to buy recipes. This is not too different from actually owning a coffee shop. Oftentimes, the quality of these shops is dictated by the abilities of the baristas and their knowledge of different types of brews. People do tend to be very picky about the coffee that they drink and, to that end, baristas are oftentimes required to learn a variety of new drinks starting on their first day on the job. As your coffee shop acquires more recipes in this game, you’ll find that your customer count also increases over time.

Coffee Tycoon also allows you to serve all the typical coffeehouse customers. Everyone from the mom and dad with their kids in tow to the surly construction worker looking for a strong morning brew will show up at your shop. This, again, is much like real life. While coffee shops were oftentimes hangouts for artists, musicians and alternative people in the past, they’re very popular with a broad demographic, today. They offer an alternative to establishments that serve alcohol and, partially because of that, they enjoy a broad-based appeal with all age ranges of customers.

Coffee Tycoon will also allow you to see what it’s like to actually run a chain of coffee shops. You’ll have managers and executives who are in on the game, as well. As your success increases, so do the offerings you can present your customers and, of course, that leads to still more success. For those who want a game that offers them something different and fun, this is a good choice. It is based on simple web technology and will run in any browser capable of displaying multimedia content. It also requires no download to your computer to play this game.

Check out the detailed description of how I made it (as well as other video game related projects I’ve done) here: ultra-awesome.blogspot.com Hello, I’ve been working on this for a few months now. A while ago I decided I was running out of room for many many videogames and their boxes etc. (I’m one of those fanatics who insists on having everything with original boxes). So I built this, to replace my current coffee table, it has space inside it to store game boxes etc. Made from MDF and painted with a variety of oil based and acrylic paints.
