Cold Brew Coffee Prepared Fresh and Fast

Cold brew coffee has become wildly popular with consumers of all ages and is quickly becoming a mainstay in the coffee category With reduced acidity and distinct bold flavor, consumers are enjoying cold brew during all parts of the day, increasing sales and profitability for operators and retailers alike

Preparing fresh cold brew coffee however takes time, a lot of time and the process can b e m e s s y a n d c u m b e r s o m e using traditional soaking systems The ambient water temp e r a t u r e r e q u i r e s 1 2 - p l u s h o u r s t o e x t r a c t t h e c o f f e e c o m p a r e d t o m i n u t e s w h e n brewing with hot water. This preparation time creates operational challenges and makes it almost impossible to gauge the volume of cold brew needed for the following day’s service. This often translates into lost sales and unhappy customers when the product runs out during business hours.

Until now, there has not been a solution to speed up the process while still using fresh ground coffee.

tools in peak condition, wasting both time and money “Now, Mundial SmartKnives™ apply the power of technology to modernize this process,” said Michael Ceitlin, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Mundial “Our company has completely rethought this important kitchen expense, converting it from a product to a service and applying advanced technology to provide kitchen managers with greater cost controls ”

How It Works

Mundial SmartKnives is a service that provides food industry professionals with a set of six or more high-quality knives made of German specified steel, along with an easy-to-use automated knife sharpener Through advanced technology, the machine recognizes each individual knife and, in less than a minute, precisely sharpens it according

to proper specifications The technology tracks knife consumption and provides members with a full report for each individual knife When the knife reaches the end of its life cycle, it is automatically replenished, at no additional cost, because all knives, the smart sharpener and support are all included in the membership Members pay a small monthly fee to lease the sharpener and $0 50 perinch each time the knife is sharpened Watch Mundial SmartKnives in action at www mundialsmartknives com

Benefits of the SmartKnives Program

● Convenience/Productivity: It’s a fact: kitchen workers are always busy These days, with many restaurants shortstaffed, the problem has gotten worse and dull knives slow down the line Sending knives out to a service means you’re relying on that company’s time frames and urgency When the sharpener is in house, it takes just seconds to ensure

these tools are working at their best and keeping your staff on schedule with their prep work

• Cost Control: The costs associated with purchasing and sharpening knives often go unnoticed but add up quickly Like it or not, having perfectly sharp knives is reflected in the kitchen’s bott o m l i n e S h a r p k n i v e s n o t o n l y increase the speed of work, but they also decrease food waste, and improve presentation

• Safety: A dull blade can result in injuries, as excessive pressure increases the possibility of a blade slip It is well known by kitchen professionals everywhere that sharp knives more readily dig in and easily complete the job at hand

• Tracking: Our sophisticated tracking system not only assists your business by providing a complete report detailing knife-related costs and replenishing knives when needed, but it also allows you to track usage This means you have full control over your knife inventory,

zero downtime, and increased efficiency and productivity throughout the line
