Technology & robotics
Technology has never been more important. Contactless payment, QR codes for menus, ordering apps, order kiosks, communication through Zoom presentations and meetings, and low-contact promotions and surveys were just a sampling of the ways we utilized technology to balance critical health and safety requirements with day-to-day operations.
NUTRITICS, a nutrition analysis software, was introduced throughout the Metz Culinary Management system for streamlined recipe and menu management, product cost analysis and digital menu ordering. Contactless technology has become a habit that because of its safety and convenience is here to stay.
We anticipate a big spike in contactless order kiosks and a move to contactless menus and payment in dining everywhere. Most exciting, we are also exploring implementing robotic delivery systems in hospitals and higher education accounts.
Valeria Yackshaw Genetti, 83, Hazleton
The wife of Gus Genetti Jr., Val had a witty sense of humor and an endearing smile. Her favorite things were family and traveling, but mostly it was combining the two â traveling with her family around the world. She loved Neil Diamond and ABBA, enjoyed playing pinochle, reading Danielle Steele books, watching detective-cop shows and enjoying coffee in her bedroom in the mornings. She was the vice president of the Genetti Hospitality Group of Wilkes-Barre, Williamsport and Dickson City. She was a past board member of Kingâs College Century Club, past president of W-B Jaycettes, past president of Wilkes-Barre General Hospital Auxiliary, past board of directors of CYC, member of the Slovak Heritage Society and a volunteer of NEPA Red Cross Blood Center. She died Dec. 22.
