NAPLES CULINARY E VOLUTION

2021 saw the continued growth of chef-owner Vincenzo Betulia’s culinary footprint in Southwest Florida. In April, North Naples welcomed a second location of downtown hotspot Bar Tulia with the opening of Bar Tulia Mercato, boasting a greatly expanded menu and outside dining, yet retaining the intimate atmosphere, renowned craft cocktails and culinary excellence of the original. Back downtown, Betulia’s landmark The French Brasserie Rustique received a record number of guests, including many new residents of Naples who were enamored with the restaurant’s hallmark tree-lit courtyard, authentic brasserie fare and dedicated and welcoming service. Meanwhile, Osteria Tulia continued to be an essential destination in Naples dining. With all his establishments, Betulia’s goal is to showcase the simple flavors of the Mediterranean from his Sicilian upbringing, while procuring Florida’s bounty by supporting local growers and suppliers.

T H E L AT E S T I N T EC H N O LO G Y

FinTech innovators Aleksandar Stepanovich, Monika Stepanovich and Carlo F. Zampogna founded Gratuity Solutions, the country’s first completely automated PayData platform. Aleksandar and Monika identified a seemingly innocuous problem within the hospitality and retail industry: the fair distribution of tips, accurate allocation and calculation of hourly wages, and earned sales commissions at the end of a workday. Their curiosity was piqued when they learned there was no solution. They created the first cloudbased PayDayPortal, drawing upon Aleksandar’s expertise in computer science and Monika’s financial background. While developing the concept, they connected with Carlo F. Zampogna, a successful Naples attorney with extensive business education and acumen, who became an integral part of the executive team, leading business models, partnerships and go-to-market strategies. The company’s patented and proprietary technology uses artificial intelligence based on pre-mapped, realtime data to fully automate calculations, allocations and distributions for employees to be accurately paid via issued pay card or digital wallet of choice on the same day they work. The company’s innovative technology is utilized in thousands of retail chains and top restaurants, hotels, nightclubs and hair salons throughout the United States, and has managed more than $4 billion in payments since inception.

THE FACES OF

HEART CARE

Physicians Regional Healthcare System’s cardiac surgery program recently earned a distinguished three-star rating from the Society of Thoracic Surgeons (STS) for its patient care outcomes in coronary artery bypass grafting procedures. The three-star rating, which is the highest category for quality, places Physicians Regional among the elite for heart bypass surgery in the United States. The top designation from STS, a national accreditation body for all cardiothoracic surgery programs in the country, comes just a year after establishing the heart surgery program in June 2020 with the addition of cardiothoracic surgeons, Drs. Dennis Stapleton and Scot Schultz. The score is based on a variety of quality metrics surrounding patient outcomes, including low mortality and complication rates and other indicators. Only 6%, or 56 of 917 cardiac surgery programs nationwide, earned the distinction for bypass procedures. Prior to launching the cardiothoracic program, Physicians Regional completed a multimilliondollar facility renovation that included two new cardiac operating rooms, three new cardiac cath labs, and specialized intensive care beds for preprocedure and post-procedure cardiac care.
