Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL)

Today, A new era in automated staff training and quality control is being unveiled at the VIBE Conference in Las Vegas. Uptown Network declared the general availability of Digital Recipe Books (DRB) combined with automated staff training and testing. This new capability is offered as SaaS (Software as a Service) via the cloud.

Recipes are uploaded into the cloud and automatically broadcast to iPads at one or thousands of locations in real-time. Recipes can comprise ingredients, methods, pouring instructions, plating instructions and more. Every ‘touch’ on the iPads is tracked to give system wide dashboards as to activity levels and success rates. Timers can be set to measure which recipes are being well executed and which recipes need process improvements across a brand.

Today, many large brands produce large amounts of paper that is shipped to hundreds or even thousands of locations. This process is time intensive, costly and error prone. Additionally, paper recipe books provide no visibility into usage or accuracy. Digital recipe books assist the environment, are real-time and provide immediate feedback of usage and success. Additionally, digital recipe books are less expensive than paper recipe books.

Uptown Network is the first approved Apple Business Solution Provider (AAPL). Through this relationship, the iPads for DRBs can be leased with no upfront costs and attractive monthly payments.
