Is Food Truck Culture Right For Your Restaurant?
Why are food trucks so popular these days? The novelty of food trucks means that many local governments have yet to invest much time and effort into proper regulation. The newness of food trucks can mean even more fees, inspections and red tape than usual.
The advantage of having a mobile platform to make food can also be a disadvantage when it comes to supplies. Restaurants lower costs by buying in bulk and storing food in refrigeration. Cold storage space is limited on a truck, so the best ingredients are the ones that don’t require much, if any, time in a freezer. The truck can resupply, of course, but that’s time and fuel spent running back to base. Give careful consideration to the menu items you’re considering for your food truck and how they balance against the ingredients needed to make them a reality.
Battling Winter’s Wrath: How to Manage Dry Air Indoors
If you are living where it can be very cold, you’ll know that winter conditions aren’t kind to anyone. Humidity is the key to keeping a home warm, but not dry. In short, humidity is the amount of water content in the air surrounding us. High humidity means the air is saturated with water, while low humidity means that the air is nearly devoid of water. Temperature and location affect humidity as well, so during the colder months, the air has a low humidity level, resulting in dry air.
Low humidity in winter causes our skin to dry out, making it cracked and broken. It chaps our lips, wreaks havoc on our hair, and can make it painful to breathe. This dreaded winter skin can be postponed with lotions and moisturizers, but what can you do about it other than use beauty products? Dry air is behind this discomfort, but more concerning than discomfort is our increased susceptibility to illness.
Skin is the body’s largest organ and it serves vital and rather amazing functions. Healthy skin protects us from getting sick because it insulates our internal body from all the nasty germs, bacteria and allergens floating around. Ever wonder why people seem to get sick more frequently during the colder months? A big contributor to this is lowered immunity due to dry air.

Why Would Anyone Rent a Water Heater?
Commercial water equipment is pricey! It can be much more so than the residential heaters found at hardware stores. Renting can be a wonderful solution to this. Renting alleviates the upfront cost of equipment and often install too—and replacement is included when the equipment fails.
But renting also includes ongoing service coverage on that equipment. And for businesses that depend on hot water to stay in operation, that ongoing service coverage is crucial, because their livelihood depends on having hot water available exactly when they need it. Unfortunately, a water heater will typically break down at the worst time: when it’s in high demand and stressed from constant use.
