Experience the best of South Florida music at the Inaugural

South Florida String Festival By Starlet Anne Contributing Writer

he best musical talents that South Florida has to offer will soon come together for a music festival unlike any other. Unity 88 presents The Inaugural South Florida String Festival, to be held on Sunday, November 10th from Noon to Midnight at 2801 Greene Street in Hollywood. The festival can best be described as 12 bands, 12 hours and one big party! The Inaugural South Florida String Fest features the best of SoFlo’s artists, food and entertainment in an upscale outdoor atmosphere. The music line-up includes a powerful troupe of musicians that are known for being South Florida’s hottest and hardest working bands. Visit the event website @ southfloridastringfest.com to find out more about bands such as Uproot Hootenanny, Bungled and Botched, Everymen, The Short Straw Pickers, South Side Dub, Future Prezidents, The Goddamn’ Hustle, Sosos, Los Bastardos Magnificos, KillBillies, Shorty the Giant and many more. Chris Vincent, of Bungled & Botched, Ryan (Sevy) Sevenburgen managing partner, Angel Reyes of Kyck Back Kydz Ent. (the Emcee of the event), and Luke Rohenaz are just a few of the minds behind the curtain. The event is all about unity and helping each other out. The bands are not competing, but instead cheering one another on. These are the top bands in the state that are getting the most iTunes downloads

www.InTheBizMagazine.com

and votes. The festival will not just be blue grass but an eclectic mix of music including country, southern indie rock, folk and reggae. “We are not trying to one up each other, this is what Unity 88 is all about. All the bands at the concert will take the stage together. You may even see some of these guys hopping on each others sets but who knows right!? There will be a definitive sense of unity,” says Chris.

The South Florida String Festival is a joint effort in association with local music incubator Unity 88 in Oakland Park. Unity 88 is an organization of bands, artists, promoters, managers, marketing specialists, sound engineers, and entrepreneurs encouraging the spread of music in our South Florida communities. The group organizes events, provides access to new talent and facilitates their development through a network of industry professionals and mentors. They operate as a not for profit organization, independent of music genre, age, and other demographics which can limit the scope of this sort of cooperative. Visit www.unity88.org for upcoming events, private venue booking and other services. The String Festival is a collaboration designed around a music movement within the vein of bluegrass, alternative rock, and reggae. Bands, like Bungled & Botched, and Uproot Hootenanny, have seen a dramatic influx of popularity in recent months. While classic country music remains popular all over the nation, new sub genres like “Newgrass Americana” are quietly sweeping the South from the grassroots upward. This is happening without the influence of mainstream music labels or media conglomerates, making it a uniquely organic moment for South Florida’s musical identity. This will truly be an exciting experience to behold. For more information on the South Florida String Festival, contact www.southfloridastringfest.com. To find out how to become a sponsor or vendor, call Unity 88 at 561-203-0886. October 2013 • ITB • 11

Her commander is veteran astronaut Matt Kowalsky (George Clooney), helming his last flight before retirement.

As their fear turns to panic, they realize that the only way home may be to venture further into space. Captain Phillips is director Paul Greengrass’s multi-layered examination of the 2009 hijacking of the U.S. container ship Maersk Alabama by a crew of Somali pirates. It is – through Greengrass’s distinctive lens – simultaneously a pulse-pounding thriller and a complex portrait of the myriad effects of globalization. The film focuses on the relationship between the Alabama’s commanding officer, Captain Richard Phillips (two time Academy Award® winner Tom Hanks), and his Somali counterpart, Muse (Barkhad Abdi). Set on an incontrovertible collision course off the coast of Somalia, both men will find themselves paying the human toll for economic forces outside of their control. South Floridians are sure to be entertained this month! October 2013 • ITB • 15

How Grease Traps Work special to the editor

very Bar/Restaurant that serves food has grease trap. • Your dishwashers, sinks, and floor drains are directed to your grease trap tank. • The drainage enters the grease trap thru a baffle. • The grease then floats to the top, the waste (stirrers, chicken bones etc.) sinks to the bottom. • The water in the middle exits thru another baffle which is 2.5 inches lower than the entrance baffle, where it joins up with the rest of your restaurant/bar drainage (toilets, etc.) before continuing thru to your cities sewage system. • The water then travels to a lift station before continuing on to your cities waste water treatment plant. WHY SHOULD YOU CLEAN YOUR GREASE TRAP REGULARLY? When the grease becomes lower than the exit baffle, or the solids build up on the bottom of the tank, the grease and solids will flow out and clog your lines which will back up every drain in your restaurant or bar. If not regularly maintained, Murphy’s Law says this will happen on Fri. or Sat. night during your busiest times, disrupting business in a very smelly way. Grease removal is required by law and varies by the city your business is located in. The restaurant/bar owner is responsible for grease removal. City inspectors regularly check for contamination levels

18 • ITB • October 2013

in your grease trap and at your closest lift station. You can and will be fined if your levels are too high, or if you have clogged up the lift station. The city can impose surcharges on your water bill or shut off your water and fine you. These fines run in the hundreds to thousands of dollars depending on the violation. What you should know. • Ask your service provider if they have ever received a violation for illegal dumping. This is a public record and available by calling the D.P.E.P. office at 954-519-1245 or the O.E.S. office at 954-831-3066. • Ask your pumping service provider to show you documentation that your waste is being dumped at an approved facility. You are responsible for your waste until it reaches the facility. Make sure to ask the service provider for proof of insurance so that you are not responsible for the grease in case of an accident or illegal dumping. • You or someone you trust should always be present when pumping is being done.

• If your traps are not maintained regularly it could take up to 4 hours to pump. If you regularly maintain your traps, the process should take from 45 minutes to 1.5 hours. • Make sure your main lines are jetted to and from the grease trap every time your grease trap is pumped. Your pumping service company will use a special hose that blows high pressure water backwards to jet out most grease which may be stuck in the lines. • Once the trap has been emptied, look down the manhole, you should be able to see clean sides and the trap should be empty. It will fill back up with water within the hour, however very little if any grease or grunge should be in it at that point. • Check your floor drains for blockage at the same time your great trap is pumped. Some services will help you check these. • Ask for a quarterly maintenance schedule. This is more cost effective than waiting until you have a major problem. • Always get a receipt or verification that shows the number of gallons pumped from your grease trap. You must provide this to your city in most areas. This information is provided to you by Renewable Grease and Oil. For more information on this and any other issues with your Grease Traps, Used Cooking Oil or Exhaust Hoods, please contact them at 954-917-7476 www.InTheBizMagazine.com

Business Spotlight

CheckPass Business Solutions

offers the best alternative for your business needs By Starlet Anne Contributing Writer

orget about spending hefty fees and getting slow results from banks and lending institutions. CheckPass Business Solutions has the answer to your business finance challenges. They are funding innovators – the only company offering members an interest-free line of credit coupled with value-added support services unparalleled in the industry. There may be no greater challenge to businesses today than cash flow management – especially for hospitality companies competing in the restaurant, bar and retail sectors. As consumers trend more towards credit and debit card transactions, having cash on hand to meet immediate obligations is often impossible. Companies are defined by their people. It’s why the people at CheckPass is so unique in the financial services industry - because they’re not bankers or lenders, but rather former small business owners who understand cash flow problems up close and personal. In fact, it’s this experience that was the inspiration for the company: Necessity may be the Mother of Invention, but CheckPass Business Solutions founder and CEO Michael Zavaglia credits a broken take-out beer cooler at his sports bar in Fairport, New York as the inspiration for his company. “I remember the day well,” he recalled. “It was a typical Monday morning. Payroll was due, food deliveries had arrived and were being stocked and I was in the office writing out checks to suppliers when my bar manager informed me the take-out beer cooler was broke. It was just another day in paradise for the owner of a popular local sports bar.” The take-out beer cooler needed a new compressor and the service technician needed a check for $1,800 to complete the repairs. Even though the past weekend was profitable, neither the cash receipts deposited in the bank nightdrop nor the

30 • ITB • October 2013

credit card revenues had been posted to his account, causing a temporary but critical cash flow shortage. “Technically, I was broke even though I did a great weekend business,” Zavaglia explained. “I wrote out a check to the repairman for money I didn’t have and crossed my fingers hoping by the time he deposited it, my revenues would have posted.” Unfortunately, the opposite thing happened. The check for the cooler repair cleared first, causing a domino effect resulting in all 12 of his payroll checks bouncing like rubber balls. “Next thing I know, my bank informs me I owe $432 in overdraft fees,” said Zavaglia. “If they had just posted the money I put in the night drops or if my credit card revenues had cleared sooner, I would have been fine. But that’s how the banks or merchant service companies work – manipulate my money to their advantage, not mine.” Owning a sport bar taught Mike Zavaglia one thing: expect the unexpected and be ready to pay excessive bank penalties and fees as a result of Murphy’s Law happening more often than not. “It was costing me over $10,000 dollars a year,” lamented Zavaglia about the bank charges. “Instead of putting money back into my business to increase profits, I was paying it

out to financial institutions at an alarming rate. It was then I had the idea for CheckPass.” Mike Zavaglia composed a wish-list for small business owners: immediate access to credit card receipts; no more bounced check charges; cash available on demand for emergencies or opportunities 7 days a week; and last but not least, being able to get ready cash interest free with repayment terms he approved. “I needed a business partner that could do all those things for me without adding to my business expense,” he said, “but everywhere I looked all I found were bankers willing to sell me a dime for a dollar. Zavaglia researched his concept, learning over 80% of small businesses were experiencing the same type of cash flow problems he encountered on a regular basis. Like him, they too, were paying stiff bank penalties and fees. “When you become a CheckPass member, you’re dealing with people who understand small business from the inside out. We know the challenges because we lived and breathed them daily keeping our businesses afloat. It is why when the banks say no, we say yes to small businesses needing a helping hand.” “Our goal is to meet the needs of the small to medium business owners that have cash flow problems caused by increased instability of readily available revenue. With trends pointing towards a more ‘plastic’ world, business owners are at times unable to access this revenue from 2-5 days after transaction is completed. CheckPass will help bridge that gap by establishing an interest free line of credit that gives business owners access to their future and pending revenues. No more waiting for deposits to clear the bank or for pending credit card revenue to post to an account. This means no more checks being written with the hopes that the deposits will post before the checks do. No more NSF fees or COD status. We will help business avoid the snowball effect that causes 66%+ businesses fail in the first 5 years,” said Zavaglia. For more information, visit www. checkpass.com. www.InTheBizMagazine.com

Who is making buying decisions? special to the editor

any times the owners of a bar are making all of the purchases of liquor and beer for the bar. They are basing their decisions on what they like and not really what the customer is asking for. While this may be a common practice, it may not be the best choice. Who better to make the decisions on purchases than the ones on the front lines? Don’t get me wrong, I am not saying that you should relinquish all of your power or give them the credit card, just give them an opportunity to

36 • ITB • October 2013

make recommendations on what to purchase based on what they see and hear at the bar. Your bartenders and servers are the ones who talk to your clientele. They are the individuals who see what everyone likes. If you allow them to be a part of the purchasing of the product, in most cases you will start to see a difference in your bottom line. The addition of just a few products can make all the difference. If you only carry beverages from one distributor at your bar or restaurant, you are losing the potential for those who may prefer other brands. There is nothing that says that a bar/restaurant can

only carry one particular distributors brands. Open up to offer more of an array of products to your clientele. Make a specialty drink each month using a new brand that you are featuring. Have contests to entice your bartenders to make new and interesting drinks for the bar. You will be surprised by how many new drinks you will start to sell if you try taking the advice from your lead bartender. We all know that there are only so many products you can keep at your bar, so listen to your bartenders and servers, they are “In The Know”.

Background Checks, Do we really need them? special to the editor

oo many bar and restaurant owners hire bartenders, bar backs, servers, kitchen help, hostesses, etc., just based on the application, the potential employee submits. References are no longer enough, what about their background or legal status? A recent Investigative Reporter for NBC News did an intense segment on how so many companies never confirm, check, or carry out a comprehensive overview of exactly who you are actually going to

38 • ITB • October 2013

hire. From drug abuse, legal matters, arrests, domestic violence, personal appearance, to constant cell phone use, know who you are hiring. You should do regular background checks for hiring purposes. For just $40 you can find out the A to Z on almost anybody. Visit their Face Book Page, find out about this individual, before they are representing your bar, your restaurant, your club, your sports bar, your lounge, your catering hall, your bar and grille. Quite often, “People Profile” companies will offer significant discounts to food and beverage operators who use their services on a daily basis. For example some offer a fee of

$30 when you background check 10 or more applicants within 90 days. How much is it worth to you, to find out the “Real Resume” on those applying for positions at your food and beverage, or beverage only establishment? In these times, just having the experience is no longer enough. No owner needs employees with drug issues, possible mental health problems or ongoing legal matters. Owners need to know. This is your business, just being “GOOD LOOKING” is no longer a prerequisite for being hired. Avoid the headaches, heartaches and hassles. Be sure of who you are hiring, if you are careful, you will avoid at least a portion of the headaches associated with owning a bar or restaurant.

SPORTS Miami Hurricanes Are Finally Back By Allen Levin Sports Editor

t’s been a long road, but it finally appears that the Miami Hurricanes are back. The Hurricanes have started the season 4-0 as of the writing of this article and are rolling through teams in their victories. With the unblemished start, the Hurricanes are No. 14 in the polls as of the writing of this article and look to be a prime threat to win the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC). What’s even better is that the Hurricanes were able to beat their rivals, the Florida Gators, who were the No. 12 ranked team in the country at the time. Other than the Gators, the Canes have only beat bottom feeders FAU, Savannah State,

and USF, but they have done so in impressive fashion. Miami has won their games by an average of 32.8 points per game and still haven’t trailed in a game yet. They are averaging 45.3 points per game on offense, which is 10th best in the country and are limiting opponents to 12.5 points per game on defense, which is 7th best in the country as of the writing of this article. The Canes have simply been dominating opponents, and even scored a school-best 77 points in their win over Savannah State. The Hurricanes have had a relatively fluffy schedule up to this point, but that doesn’t’ change the fact of how strong they’ve looked on both sides of the ball. They have some challenging matchups

upcoming against Florida State and Georgia Tech, but if they can win those games, there is no reason they can’t go undefeated and win the ACC. Miami will have to keep up its current level of play, but if they can do that, we may be seeing the first ACC championship for the Canes and their first BCS bowl game in a very long time.

Miami Dolphins off to Excellent Start

fter an exciting offseason that included a large spending spree and lofty expectations, the Miami Dolphins are answering expectations as of now. The new-look Dolphins have began the season 3-0 as of the writing of this article, notching some convincing wins to start the 2013 campaign. Miami went on the road, taking down the Cleveland Browns and Indianapolis Colts, before coming home for an impressive comefrom-behind victory over the Atlanta Falcons to begin their slate undefeated. The Colts and Falcons were both playoff teams last season, and the Dolphins were able to escape with a win on the road over Indy and take down an Atlanta team that was one game from the Super Bowl last year. The Dolphins have been so strong due to a much-improved Ryan Tannehill, who looks like he will be undoubtedly a franchise quarterback. He is converting on third downs at a much higher clip and has been clutch in the

42 • ITB • October 2013

fourth quarter so far. The Dolphins receiving unit has been very solid as well, with Brian Hartline, Brandon Gibson and Mike Wallace all looking good in the early games. The defense, which had a total makeover, isn’t quite playing up to its potential yet, but has been making impact plays when necessary. They have made huge stops in the 4th quarter in close games against the Colts and Falcons, and generally have gotten their job done. What’s even more encouraging is how confident the Dolphins look as a squad. They are going on the road and getting wins, winning close games and keeping their composure. While there is still a lot of season left to play, the Dolphins seem in prime position to meet expectations and make a playoff push this year. They still face stark competition in the division against the undefeated New England Patriots, but there is no doubt the Dolphins look like a contender. www.InTheBizMagazine.com
