| Wolfgang's Restaurant and Wine Bistro — a Hidden Gem in the Mountains |
Published in WNC Magazine -
Summer, 2007
by Bryan Sullivan |
Nestled in the highest-incorporated town east of the Rocky Mountains, and in an area known as the "Land of the Waterfalls," is a chef-owned restaurant that is well worth the visit. Highlands, NC is home to several, fine-dining restaurants and Wolfgang’s Restaurant and Wine Bistro tops the list.
Situated in an original Highlands home, dating back to the 1890s, the décor is warm and imaginative inspired by the mountain landscape; there are cozy fireplaces, and several intimate dining corners to choose from. In the warmer weather, outdoor dining is available.
A surprising amount of people were gathered in the wine bistro for an off-season, Saturday night. Tables were beautifully set with gold-colored plate chargers. The Wine Director explained their comprehensive wine list; staff is well trained and sent to California every year to study and learn more.
There are approximately 800 choices, and a commendable selection of wines offered by the glass, including a playful and sparkling Shiraz. For the past four years, Wolfgang's has been the recipient of Wine Spectator's "Best of Award of Excellence." Read full article... (pdf format)

| The Checkout Challenge |
Published in Produce Merchandising Magazine
by Bryan Sullivan |
| Retailers are using new technology at checkout to increase accuracy issues between organic and conventional produce. With organics items on the rise at more grocery stores the ability for you to accurately ring in these items has become a major challenge. The solutions to this type of problem are numerous and varied in their complexity. Large amounts of revenue are being lost, but some new technologies are solving the problem.
New Technology: GS1 DataBar
The newest technology in solving this issue is the GS1 DataBar (formerly known as Reduced Space Symbology or RSS). Gary Fleming, Vice President of Industry Technology and Standards at the Produce Marketing Association in Newark, DE , explains that GS1 DataBar is a barcode that can be read by most scanners at a grocery retail store and is small enough to fit onto a PLU sticker that is found on most loose produce items (i.e., apples, pears, etc.).

AgentFactor Announces Travel eFulfillment and Ticketing Services and Reduces Booking Process Cost
|
NEW YORK, N.Y. – February 19, 2007 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) – AgentFactor, a travel-veteran venture, announces the new offering of Travel eFulfillment and Ticketing Services to online and offline travel businesses.
This turn-key service enables travel businesses to partially, or fully, outsource their backend operation and to focus more on sales and marketing initiatives.
In today's thin margin of travel distribution, it is becoming too costly to retain operational personnel to perform the manual tasks required to fulfill procurement for small to medium-sized corporate and leisure businesses.
"Manual-driven travel fulfillment and ticketing results in higher error rates, higher costs, and ultimately, in decreased customer satisfaction in the form of booking cancellations or debit memos," Jim Menge, CEO, AgentFactor, explained. "AgentFactor fills this gap by providing sophisticated quality control, file finishing, fraud prevention and auto-ticketing."
AgentFactor will use the clients' preferred booking engine (Pure Travel Fulfillment and Ticketing Solution) or AgentFactor's provisioned booking engine from a third-party partner (Total Travel Fulfillment and Ticketing Solution). Read full article... (pdf format)
