New mobile app debuts at National Restaurant Association Show; brings KDS data to life with simple, actionable scoring for operators on the move

CHICAGO, May 17, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Fresh Technology, the company behind Fresh KDS, today announced the launch of “On The Fly”, a new mobile app that gives restaurant operators a real-time kitchen score powered by actual KDS performance data. The app will debut at the National Restaurant Association Show in Chicago, where Fresh Technology is exhibiting for the first time.

Built to work seamlessly with Fresh KDS, “On The Fly” tracks speed of service, consistency, and kitchen activity to generate a simple, dynamic score that helps operators understand how their kitchen is performing—at a glance, from anywhere.

“Most kitchen data today is locked away in dashboards or buried in spreadsheets,” said Shaun Shankel, CEO of Fresh Technology. “On The Fly puts the most important insights in the palm of your hand, where operators actually need them. It’s about turning complex data into immediate action.”

The app is designed for everyone from single-store owners to multi-unit operators. Independent operators often don’t have the time or resources for deep data analysis. “On the Fly” gives them instant clarity, helping them spot issues and make improvements on the fly—no analyst required. At the same time, larger restaurant groups can use the app to push performance visibility and accountability all the way to the store level, bridging the gap between their analytics teams and front-line managers.

Fresh Technology sees “On the Fly” as the first in a series of tools aimed at redefining what a KDS can do. While most native KDS solutions focus solely on routing tickets, Fresh is using its platform to unlock deeper operational insights and deliver more value through data.

“Our goal is to move beyond the basics of ticket handling and help restaurants actually improve how they operate,” said Shankel. “By making data more accessible, understandable, and actionable, we can give operators a real edge—regardless of size.”

Visit Fresh Technology at Booth 8331

NRA Show attendees can demo “On the Fly” and see how it integrates with Fresh KDS at Booth 8331 in the tech pavilion. The app is now available to all Fresh KDS users via iOS and Android.

About Fresh Technology

Fresh Technology is the creator of Fresh KDS, a cloud-first kitchen display system used by thousands of restaurants nationwide. Known for its ease of use, reliability, and POS-agnostic design, Fresh KDS helps independent and multi-unit restaurants run faster, more consistent kitchens. Fresh Technology is committed to unlocking the power of kitchen data to help operators thrive.

CHINO, Calif., May 17, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — In an era where personal expression and self-confidence are paramount, LaVivid redefines the hair replacement industry with its bespoke hair system solutions.

Today, the brand unveils its meticulously crafted process—from initial consultation to doorstep delivery—proving why it stands as a global leader in premium hair solutions.

The LaVivid Promise: Where Artistry Meets Individuality

At LaVivid, we recognize that hair loss is deeply personal. Our mission transcends aesthetics; we deliver empowerment through hyper-personalized craftsmanship, cutting-edge materials, and unwavering customer care. Each custom order is a collaboration, ensuring every client receives a hair system that feels as natural as their own hair—because confidence begins with authenticity.

Step 1: Collaborative Design – Your Vision, Perfected

Beyond Transactions: A Partnership in Creation

The journey begins with an immersive consultation tailored to your unique needs. Clients may submit requests via LaVivid’s Custom Order Portal or connect directly with our hair experts. This dialogue ensures every detail aligns with your lifestyle, preferences, and aspirations.

Base Selection

Breathable lace? Undetectable thin skin? A hybrid for versatility? Our specialists guide you through material options, balancing comfort, durability, and realism.

Hair Customization

From jet-black waves to salt-and-pepper curls, we offer:

• 100% Remy Human Hair: Ethically sourced, handpicked for texture and luster.

• Tailored Color Blending: Precision-matched hues, including balayage, highlights, or natural graying patterns.

• Styling Flexibility: Straight, wavy, or curly—crafted to mirror natural growth patterns.

Final Approval

Clients receive a detailed quote, a visual mockup, and a secure payment link. Once confirmed, production begins with a clear timeline provided. Most custom orders can be completed within 4–5 weeks, thanks to the dedicated custom hair system team at the LaVivid factory.

Step 2: Artisan Craftsmanship – Precision in Every Strand

Custom-Fit Systems: The Signature Mold Process

For thin skin or full-cap systems requiring anatomical accuracy, LaVivid employs its proprietary mold technology:

1. Scalp Impression Kit: Easy-to-use templates ensure precise measurements.

2. Hand-Sculpted Perfection: Artisans create plaster molds for millimeter-perfect fit.

3. Secure Archiving: Molds are stored indefinitely, expediting future orders.

Behind the Scenes: Meticulous Handcrafting

• Base Construction: Medical-grade, hypoallergenic materials are double-layered for durability and comfort.

• Knot-by-Knot Artistry: Each strand is hand-tied to replicate natural follicular distribution—a process requiring weeks but guaranteeing undetectable realism.

• Styling Mastery: Hair direction and density are calibrated for seamless integration with existing hair.

Step 3: Rigorous Quality Assurance – Excellence Guaranteed

Every LaVivid hair system undergoes a 12-point inspection:

✓ Knot integrity and tension testing

✓ Density verification for natural movement

✓ Base durability and fit validation

✓ Final styling and conditioning

Only after surpassing these benchmarks is your system gently cleansed, styled, and prepared for shipment.

Step 4: Delivery & Lifelong Support – Confidence, Delivered

Upon arrival, clients unbox:

• Your Custom Masterpiece: Ready-to-wear, pre-styled for immediate use.

• Expert Care Guide: Prolong longevity with tailored maintenance tips.
