The American Pet Products Association Encourages Dog Ownership in Celebration of Adopt-a-Dog Month

The American Pet Products Association (APPA) is pleased to celebrate the joys and benefits dogs bring to our lives, and encourage dog ownership in honor of Adopt-a-Dog Month (October). According to the 2017-2018 APPA National Pet Owners Survey, over 60 million U.S. households have a dog and there are a total of 89.7 million dogs owned in the U.S. The Survey also reveals top benefits to dog ownership: love and companionship, stress relief, and fun to have in the household. And dogs can help make us healthier too. Research conducted by the Human Animal Bond Research Institute (HABRI) finds dogs can help improve heart health, alleviate depression, increase well-being, support child health and development, and contribute to healthy aging. Since this month-long holiday encourages people to think about adding a dog to their home, below are some recommendations manufactured by APPA members to help adopted dogs transition smoothly into their "furrever" home.

CoinText Adds “BUY” Feature to Pay For BitPay Invoices Over SMS

Today, CoinText.io, a wallet to transact cryptocurrency using SMS messages, introduced a new "BUY" command that enables users to spend Bitcoin Cash (BCH) at any retailer that uses BitPay to process bitcoin payments.

CoinText users can instantly send money to phone numbers, BCH addresses, and now BitPay invoices, without Internet using simple text commands like BALANCE, RECEIVE and SEND.

"We want to empower people to spend cryptocurrency," explains CoinText founder and CTO Vin Armani. "BitPay is the premier bitcoin payment processor for goods and services. CoinText users can now shop anywhere BitPay is accepted."

https://jessicapressreleases.blogspot.com/2018/05/school-bus-safety-company-inc-announces.html

Technically, CoinText added support for the Bitcoin Improvement Protocol 70 (BIP70) JSON Payment Protocol standard which BitPay used to process over $1 billion in bitcoin transactions last year.

BIP70 allows sellers to outline exactly how buyers should structure their transactions, including the fee amount. The buyer then transmits the signed transaction directly to the seller, who verifies that the transaction meets the requirements before broadcasting it to the network.

CoinText offers automatic wallet setup without apps, accounts, or passwords. When CoinText users text money to a friend's phone number, a new BCH wallet is created for the recipient. They don't need to sign up for anything to receive or use the funds.

Users can also get a new wallet by sending an SMS with the word START to the CoinText access number for their region https://cointext.io/en/regions/

Armani demonstrates the new feature by donating Bitcoin Cash (BCH) to Wikimedia through BitPay in the video below:

Smoke's Poutinerie Exec to Share Franchising Strategies at the Restaurant Franchising & Innovation Summit

One only has to peruse the menu at Smokes Poutinerie to understand the passion behind the 150-location fast casual brand. Click here to read the latest news.

Or they could simply meet founder Ryan Smolkin who is not hard to miss when he's out spreading the word about his 9-year-old franchise cropping up at incredible speed from Canada to Hollywood to Tampa. The brand opened 10 franchises just the second year of operation, and that figure has just kept doubling.

Ryan will share his franchising expertise with attendees of the 4th annual Restaurant Franchising & Innovation Summit, March 11-13 in Louisville.

"It's been a wild ride," Smolkin said with a huge grin while promoting his franchise at the recent International Franchise Expo held at the Javits Conference Center in New York City and wearing his typical attire — a red plaid hunters cap, signature shades and red shirt. He's hard to miss even in the throng of thousands attending the three-day event.

Smolkin is also the brand's alter ego, a man called Smoke who, as legend has it, revamped the Canadian Poutine. Smoke even has his own Twitter hashtag #PlaidNation, an obvious nod to the founder's garb. The Smoke's Poutinerie menu is clearly as passionate and colorful as its brand leader. Based on the simple French fry with gravy concept, Smolkin makes poutine a culinary extravaganza to meet the want of his core audience (Canadians, college students, travelers).

https://jessicapressreleases.blogspot.com/2018/05/mothers-day-comes-with-triple-bonus-for.html

The hand-cut made fresh daily fries, cheese curd and "signature gravy" can be topped with dozens of extras (from pork to chicken to steak and vegetarian options). Think chili cheese bacon, the "hangover" choice featuring scrambled eggs, double-smoked bacon and maple syrup, the 'hogtown' boasting Italian sausage, sautéed mushrooms, caramelized onions and that double-smoked bacon.

There's the Korean Poutine — complete with flatiron steak, sambal, Korean BBQ sauce and green onions. Or try the non meat Rainbow, topped off with guacamole, sriracha sauce, sour cream and cheese sauce. And, of course, one can always get extra curd, gravy, meat or add double-smoked bacon if it's not on the ingredient list.

All those creative takes on the poutine is driving a billion dollars in sales at this point. And while each location offers the same menu, each Smoke's is different than all the others — a purposeful decision that's also tied to some operational aspects. Some locations, due to consumer interest, require two fryer stations for example.

"They're all unique," said Smolkin, but very much the same in some critical ways. Each location, he said, is focused on building the brand, offering the same experience and the same atmosphere. "People are just embracing it," he added.

Read this for more information.:

https://jessicapressreleases.blogspot.com/2018/05/neosante-delictase-oral-drops-lactase.html

Smoke's average customer is between the ages of 18 and 25 and typically have a fun nightlife as franchise sales spike between the hours of midnight and 4 a.m.

Each year Smolkin hosts a CEO challenge for charity — whichever company leader can eat the most poutine in two minutes is the winner. Smolkin, who won last year's title, ate 3 1/2 pounds (equivalent to 7 orders).

It's that contagious love for poutine that caught Toine Murphy's attention when he heard about Smoke's from another business colleague. He, along with three other associates, was all in after spending time visiting Smoke's, talking with customers and talking at length with Smolkin. Murphy and his business group operate franchises in Michigan, Ohio and downtown Detroit.

"I had never done a restaurant and had heard only horror stories [about going into franchising]," he recalled, adding that he researched so thoroughly it was as if he was seeking a reason to say 'no' to becoming a franchisee, he said. He conducted in-the-street interviews, asking locals in bars where he could get good poutine and the answer always came back the same: Smoke's.

Success, according to both Smolkin and Murphy, is tied to a few factors.

"Keep it simple and focus on the experience," advised Murphy.

Smolkin, just as enthusiastically, says franchise success is all about having no fear and doing what Nike says to do: just do it.

"It's about being real, having fun, don't be afraid. It's about passion."
