for the Glass Flipper
Attendees at last weekend’s Florida Restaurant & Lodging Show at the Orange County Convention Center voted the Glass Flipper the best new product. I told you about this one in my post last week from the convention center. It’s not likely to change the life of the consumer much, but it’s going to be great for the poor guy who has to flip glasses over one-by-one after they come out of the dishwasher. This device flips the whole rack, making the glasses ready for ice and water.
First runner-up was a software program from Customer 2 You that makes it easier for restaurants to post their menus online and have customers order for pickup or delivery.
Second runner up was a company from Delray Beach called Joe Sixxpak. They manufacture a plastic, collapsible six-pack bottle carrier. This allows a bar back to fetch bottles of beer without fear that the old-timey cardboard carrier’s bottom will give out. They can even put the whole carrier in ice and pull it out to return to a cooler. And the product is obviously good for the environment — it’s green.
