Bartech, a world leader in automatic profit-generating minibar
solutions for
the hospitality industry, announced today that it will be demonstrating
its
comprehensive line of new design and technology innovations at HITEC
2011,
taking place June 20-23 in Austin, Texas. In addition to an extensive
selection
of customizable automatic minibars that are  designed to maximize revenue and
save hoteliers time and money through increased efficiency, Bartech
will also
be displaying several of its latest proprietary designs, including the
eCube
and the eDrawer. A fully functional prototype of the groundbreaking new
Flat
Fridge will also be on display at Booth
#446 during expo hours.The eCube was especially developed by Bartech, in cooperation with a major global hotel chain client for use in a brand concept room. The eCube’s sleek, futuristic design is compact enough to fit into a small space and is meant to showcase, cool and control up to nine small specialty beverage bottles. The eCube is  equipped with the same
state-of-the-art detection capabilities as all other automatic
mini-bars within
the Bartech range, as well as energy-saving options and a choice of
Windows-based and web-based server technologies.Another Bartech exclusive, the eDrawer, was also developed at the request of a major hotel client in the U.S., who had expressed a need for a modular, furniture-based drawer system that would blend seamlessly into the room design. Bartech offers the eDrawer with multiple options for both the cold cube drawer and dry section of the minibar, depending on individual property requirements. It is available in any finish and a choice of materials, and can be customized to a hotel’s unique specifications.  New for HITEC 2011, Bartech is introducing its
latest innovation, the Flat Fridge. This uniquely designed “Minibar of
the
Future” has been specifically adapted to the latest in-room design
trends. The
thin, minimalist design is accented with an elegant double glass door.
The Flat
Fridge is available as a stand-alone unit or a wall-mounted version to
optimize
guestroom space.The only minibar provider to offer fully customizable design, Bartech also offers a choice of five methods of server communication, allowing each hotel to create the most cost-effective and efficient technology solution possible. For properties with an existing ZigBee network, Bartech can provide seamless integration with its embedded controls for maximum system integration and minimal installation costs. Other options include Wi-Fi, Coax cable, twisted pair and Ethernet communication. Bartech is also the only minibar provider to utilize three different types of sensor technologies, including infrared, magnetic and micro-switch, which allows Bartech minibars to use the most effective and reliable technology for each type of product dispensed. “Bartech was founded on the concepts of innovation and customer satisfaction, and we proudly continue that tradition today,” said Bartech president Mario Agrario. “Our minibar solutions utilize the most advanced technologies available today and we listen to each hotel client to gain a better understanding of their unique needs and the changing needs of the industry as a whole—and then we develop solutions to meet those needs. Our ultimate goal is to make minibar operations as automated, efficient and profitable as possible for our clients around the world.” For more information about Bartech and their comprehensive range of automatic minibar solutions, please visit Booth #446 at HITEC, contact Bruno Agrario at +1 702 369 5550, x103, email [email protected] or visit www.bartech.com.
