Bartech Systems International Inc.

Bartech, a world leader in profit-generating automatic minibar solutions for the hospitality industry, announced today that it will be showcasing its comprehensive line of design and technology innovations at The International Hotel, Motel + Restaurant Show® (IHMRS) 2014, taking place November 9-11 at the Javits Convention Center in New York City. Continuous demonstrations of all the latest Bartech solutions, including Neotray, the eDrawer and a functional C32 minibar model, will be taking place at Booth #2325 during expo hours, showing hoteliers how to maximize revenue while saving time and money through increased efficiency.

For over two decades Bartech has pioneered the field of minibar design and technology for the global hospitality industry. By offering a choice of server communication, multiple sensor technologies and customizable design, they provide properties with unique benefits unmatched by other minibar manufacturers.

These unique benefits have made Bartech's C32 automatic minibars a cornerstone in thousands of guestrooms around the world. Hotels and resorts are drawn to the C32 unit because of the sophisticated way it incorporates the latest integrated technologies to increase profits, generate energy savings, improve staff efficiencies and maximize control of inventory and billing. With a capacity of 40 liters, the C32 minibar allows the electronic control of up to 32 products, including 12 miniatures or snacks. These features help hotels to maximize profits through four key areas – labor savings, loss reduction, expiration date monitoring and energy savings.

Utilizing an in-house R&D team, Bartech continually goes beyond automatic minibars to stay on the forefront of software and product design. This has led to the recent developments of Neotray and the eDrawer, which will also be featured at IHMRS this year. Neotray is a tabletop display unit best suited for dry items. It provides hotels with three rows of five sensors to showcase products in a stylish case with a see-through lid. The eDrawer is a furniture-based drawer system that seamlessly blends into guestroom aesthetics by being built into a dresser or nightstand.

Both Neotray and the eDrawer work as in-room point-of-sale devices, which enable hotels to automatically post charges to the PMS in real time. Bartech's proprietary management software allows all items consumed to be tracked, making refilling more efficient while reducing overhead costs and generating additional revenue.

"IHMRS attendees come to the show expecting to see exciting new solutions that can truly make a positive impact on their hotel operations. This is exactly what we intend to deliver with Bartech exclusives." states Bartech president Mario Agrario. "We fully understand a hotel's need to accomplish their in-room F&B goals and provide innovative solutions to help them far exceed average results."

It is solutions like advanced sensor technology that triggers a 60-second countdown when an item is lifted, then only bills the guests' folio if not replaced within the allotted time, which help to set Bartech automatic minibars apart from the competition. Bartech's unique software provides real-time data on which guests are utilizing their minibars and which products they are consuming, allowing for only necessary room visits and timely product refills from minibar attendants. Operational efficiencies created by the software help to reduce guest disturbance by 70%, eliminate disputes at the front desk and expedite check out.
