Pizzeria Uno Experiences First Net Growth in Restaurant Units in 15 Years

UNO Pizzeria & Grill

At the close of the company’s fiscal year on September 30, 2023, Uno Restaurants divulged net positive restaurant growth for the first time in 15 years. This is the first time since 2007 the brand returned to expansion mode. The net gain was a result of the company’s new growth strategy focusing primarily on the hotel industry. With its pizza-centric menu, Pizzeria Uno is positioned as the perfect full-service hotel restaurant. During the 2023 fiscal year, Pizzeria Uno opened five new hotel-based restaurant locations converted to an Uno from previous underperforming dining concepts. In 2022, Pizzeria Uno began expanding into the hotel space. Hoteliers are fast embracing the vaunted Unos brand and doubling or even tripling restaurant sales volume. This strong revenue growth is attributed to multiple Unos concept revenue streams. First, hotel- restaurants capture more hotel guest traffic by leveraging the power of the nationally known and trusted brand name for quality pizza and other menu items. Additionally, hotels are capturing lost revenue streams. These hotels are getting a higher share of food sales as guests select Unos pizzas and more rather than ordering takeout from unknown brands within the hotel’s respective community. Finally, the famous brand appeals to those living near the hotel property, boosting sales from the neighborhood via on site dining or via meal delivery apps. “Moving into the hotel restaurant conversion space is a key go-forward strategy for us,” said CEO Erik Frederick. “Hotel owners are quickly joining the Uno’s family because of our track record turning loss leading restaurant space into a profit center. When they learn of this solution, owners recognize the wisdom in creating a Pizzeria Uno in their hotel.” Many hotel franchise companies require property owners to renovate hotel and restaurant spaces after a set period of time. Converting an existing space to an Unos during an already planned remodel is relatively inexpensive incrementally. Hospitality expert, No Vacancy podcast creator and host, and corporate strategic advisor Glenn Haussman, says this niche is a great a pairing for Unos and hotel owners. “Hotel restaurants typically underperform compared to other dining establishments within a community. Smart hoteliers understand the Pizzeria Uno concept checks many boxes for hotel owners, reinvigorating an existing space with a universally loved product, pizza! Plus, it creates unrealized revenue streams, directly leading to higher profitability.” This is more critical than ever as pricing pressure due to inflation has hurt overall hotel profitability. Unos will continue to open standalone restaurants as well, but will predominantly focus on the hotel restaurant space as the main growth vehicle for the company. About UNO Pizzeria & Grill Based in Boston, Massachusetts, Uno Restaurant Holdings Corporation includes approximately 80 company-owned and franchised UNO Pizzeria & Grill restaurants located in 18 states, and the District of Columbia, India, and Saudi Arabia. UNO is all about connecting people over pizza – from its famous Chicago Deep Dish, which UNO invented in 1943, to its Chicago Thin Crust, to its gluten-free and vegan pizzas. The Company also operates Uno Foods, a consumer packaged-foods business which supplies supermarkets, airlines, movie theaters, hotels, airports, travel plazas, and schools, with both frozen and refrigerated UNO branded products.

New Business Owner Chris Greene Buys Alloy Printing, Opens Minuteman Press Franchise in White Plains, NY

Minuteman Press International Inc

In April of 2023, Chris Greene made the decision to switch gears and become a business owner. That is when Chris purchased over 40-year business Alloy Printing from Mary Jane and Alan Goldman, which is now operating as the new Minuteman Press franchise in White Plains, NY. The business remains located at 190 East Post Rd., White Plains, NY 10601, a 6,000 sq. ft. facility where it has been operating since 1995. Since buying the business, Chris has already hit several key milestones for Minuteman Press in White Plains. He attributes his sales growth to picking up where the previous owners of Alloy Printing left off – by joining local business organizations and maintaining existing client relationships. Chris has also been building on his established client base by marketing additional products and services such as custom branded apparel. History of Alloy Printing Mary Jane Goldman first joined the printing industry in 1979 when she opened a PIP Printing location in Yonkers. She moved the center to its current location at 190 East Post Rd. in 1995, and then eventually transitioned the business to an independent operation, Alloy Printing. Prior to owning the business, Mary Jane worked as a nurse for 11 years before looking for a change. In a previous interview with The Examiner, Mary Jane explained, “My options were open. I was taking a sabbatical. I could always go back to nursing. My parents had friends that were in printing and did very, very well. And I decided that would be a challenge that I would like to take on.” After initially expanding to three locations, the Goldmans decided to focus only on their White Plains location, where they had been residents since 1987. Mary Jane shared, “Sometimes more isn’t always better.” Alan noted, “[White Plains] is the center of the county. It’s the county seat. It’s where all the action is.” During their years in business, Mary Jane and Alan were active in several local groups including the White Plains Downtown Business Improvement District and many more. New owner Chris Greene has followed their lead, saying, “I was just appointed to the Board of the White Plains Downtown Business Improvement District and am also a member of the Business Council of Westchester. I have found these groups to be very beneficial in terms of networking and building/keeping relationships.” One thing that has never changed in over 40 years is the fact that people need and use print. Alan shared with The Examiner, “We’re supposed to be a more paperless society. But we find it’s not a paperless society.” In the interview, he added, “The internet doesn’t serve what we produce. We’re more of a hands-on, come in, sit down, let’s go over it. What can we do? How can we help? How can we both work together to produce what you want and make you successful? Because if you’re successful, we’re successful.” Welcome to Minuteman Press, White Plains Prior to buying the business, Chris Greene worked in corporate advertising, sales, and marketing. Chris shares, “The three biggest reasons I chose to buy Alloy Printing and transition to Minuteman Press are: My desire to be a business owner and move out of the corporate world; I look at the printing industry as an offshoot to what I was doing in my advertising career; The quality of my experience in learning about Minuteman Press and Alloy Printing.” Chris adds, “The training and support from Minuteman Press has been great. The training helped me develop a solid base of knowledge on how to operate a print business. When I’ve needed support in terms of learning or ramping up my marketing, my RVP Jim Galasso and the entire team have been great in giving me direction. It has been a positive experience all the way around.” When reflecting on the first six-plus months, Chris shares, “When I first started, my number one priority was to reassure our existing customer base that the high quality and customer service that they previously had was not going anywhere. As we look towards further growth, the first area we’ve grown from a product standpoint has been apparel, which we are actively marketing.” He adds, “For me, it’s not about being the boss as much as it’s about how I am spending my day. I enjoy giving our customers the products that we make. That the finished products are directly associated with my ownership of the business is very rewarding.” Minuteman Press in White Plains is located at 190 East Post Rd., White Plains, NY 10601.

Meme Coin Resurgence On The Way, and Is This The New Leader?

RoundHouse Media

There is little doubt that meme coins are a crucial part of crypto. They might be considered "jokes" without utility, but a revolution is happening. TL;DR: - Meme coins are worth over $16 billion and continue to rise in value. - Top meme coins, including Dogecoin and Shiba Inu, were hit hard by crypto bears in 2022, but there is a revival with emerging projects. - NuggetRush is a new meme coin project that's breaking into the scene with unique offerings and a desire to add utility to meme coins. Looking at market cap alone, meme coins are worth upwards of $16 billion, and the value keeps on rising as creators innovate, aiming to fuse enhanced functionality and fun while using the same old crypto rails for security and accessibility. In 2022, top crypto coins and meme projects, including Dogecoin (DOGE) and Shiba Inu (SHIB), were battered by crypto bears, losing over 85% of their 2021 peaks. However, looking at recent events, there is a revival on-course with emerging projects, including PepeCoin (PEPE) and a new entrant, NuggetRush (NUGX), dominating headlines and attracting supporters across the crypto divide. The questions are: With Bitcoin and crypto prices bottoming up and breaking higher from 2022 and 2023 pits, will the uptrend be sustained to trigger resurgence in the meme coin scene? Will ambitious meme coin projects like NuggetRush draw benefits and raise millions in their ongoing presale? This article looks to find answers: >> Buy NuggetRush Now << The Meme Coin Revival To have a clearer understanding, we have to cycle back. Dogecoin is the first meme coin, created as a joke based on the Shiba Inu dog. It has since floated higher and is a top-20 coin by market cap. Dogecoin's surge to emerge as a top crypto is partly because of celebrity support and Elon Musk, the billionaire leader of Tesla and SpaceX, and the owner of X, the social media platform. With Bitcoin and Ethereum prices rising, DOGE is up 30% from October lows, clearing above the critical resistance level. Optimists expect DOGE to reclaim 2021 highs of around $0.78; an elusive target. While Dogecoin bulls are buoyant, Shiba Inu continues to build, diversifying their base. Their primary objective is to expand on Shibarium, a scaling solution forked from Polygon. The team expects Shibarium to offer relief for its holders and developers looking to build on this platform. Despite the initial hype, SHIB, the native token of Shiba Inu; and BONE, the token priming Shibarium, have remained under pressure. Even so, experts doubt the recent upswing until there is a sharp close above August 2023 highs. Market observers expect meme coins to be driven by other facets of crypto, including decentralized finance (DeFi) and non-fungible tokens (NFTs). Modern meme coins like NuggetRush have integrated these elements into their operations, giving them an edge and, most importantly, increasing the utility of their native ERC-20 coin, NUGX. Is NuggetRush The New Leader? For the approach adopted by NuggetRush (NUGX), especially their desire to add utility to meme coins, NUGX stands to gain in the next bull run making it a top crypto to buy for astute investors. NuggetRush is building a play-to-earn (P2E) game where meme coin fans can participate, monetizing their skills when earning rewards. While NUGX is a meme coin, adding the P2E game to the equation and merging NFTs and DeFi elements means the token has more utility. At the core, NUGX will be used to distribute rewards for gamers while concurrently helping deserving artisanal miners. NuggetRush gaming characters are available as NFTs, and players can customize their own. The difference is that once they have them, they can stake them, earning up to 20% APY. The NuggetRush presale is ongoing. In this top ICO, over 15 million NUGX have been sold, each at 0.010 USDT, in Stage 1. However, the token could list at $0.020, meaning early adopters stand to double their initial investment on launch day. >> Buy NuggetRush Now << Conclusion The broader crypto market revival appears to be drawing more people to consider meme coins. Dogecoin and other legacy projects are popular, but NuggetRush is breaking into the scene, partly thanks to its unique offerings and desire to add utility. For this reason, some investors say NUGX is one of the best crypto to buy now. Thus far, more investors are exploring the project, with some considering NUGX as they diversify their portfolios.

A video accompanying this announcement is available at: https://youtu.be/U4QjdBszMq4 Based on feedback from guests and Hosts around the world, Airbnb improved nearly every aspect of the app experience. From sign up to checking out, and every step in between, Airbnb took a design-driven approach to make sure that users have a seamless booking experience. Whether by the shore or on the slopes, a dream holiday stay is within reach. Airbnb is sharing its best hacks to help holiday travel dreams come true, from filtering searches for must-have amenities to curating the ultimate winter vibe with Airbnb Categories. Grab a cup of cocoa, cozy up by the fire, and let Airbnb help you find the ultimate festive stay. Use total price display to search for perfect holiday getaways within budget Last December, Airbnb rolled out total price display, a game-changing feature that makes it easier to search for unique, festive stays within your budget. With the goal of empowering guests to make informed decisions, Airbnb revolutionized the way stays are presented by showcasing the total price, inclusive of all fees before taxes, right from the get-go. Since launch, over 8 million guests have booked travel on Airbnb using the feature. i Whether looking for a cabin for ten, or a private room for two, total price display gives the guests the transparency they need to find the best option for them. Use Categories to search by holiday vibe or for inspiration Dreaming of a white Christmas in a ski-in ski-out chalet? Or maybe leaning towards a blue Hawaiian on a sandy beach? Airbnb Categories are helpful in finding that needle in the haystack, or inspiring guests as they figure out what type of stay they crave! There are so many unique categories to choose from – and this holiday season, Vineyards, Cabins and Iconic Cities are three of the most popular Categories guests are booking this year ii, showcasing how every traveler has a unique vision on what their perfect holiday stay can be. iii Filter searches to find the perfect winter escape A stay with all the trimmings can mean different things to different guests, for some that’s wifi and for others it’s a gym! In fact, last holiday season, two of the most searched amenities on Airbnb were jacuzzis and fireplaces iv. Just in time for this holiday season, Airbnb introduced two new search filters based on popular demand: pet-friendly stays and king-size beds, making it even easier to narrow searches for every individual’s holiday must-haves!

If flexible on where and when, and even for how long, guests can unlock even more stays over the busy travel season. And it’s easy to use: instead of selecting exact dates or even a destination at the beginning of a search, guests can search with options like a weekend getaway, a week-long vacation, or even a month-long stay, as well as by continent or country or anywhere in the world. But if travel plans are fairly set, and search results are limited, a brand new feature will automatically display a carousel at the bottom of search results with more great stays available over similar dates. Guests and their loved ones are covered this season, with AirCover Airbnb is here to take the stress out of booking a stay for the holidays!
