BreaktimeTV and Data Solutions
BreaktimeTV — Where America Takes a Break™ BreaktimeTV is a digital media platform built specifically for breakrooms, micro-markets, and vending environments. We install a professionally managed secondary screen in the breakroom — the place employees visit 2–3 times per day — and turn that screen into a powerful sales and communication tool. Our goal is simple: • Grow same-store sales by 3–5% or more • Give your clients a modern workplace culture channel • Create a reliable, recurring income stream for operators Instead of paper signs and or static point-of-sale digital materials, BreaktimeTV delivers dynamic digital content that promotes products, highlights specials, supports national brands, and shares important workplace messages — all in one easy-to-manage screen. For operators, that means: • Increased product visibility • Higher engagement at the point of purchase • Incremental advertising revenue • A differentiated offering when selling new accounts For employers, it becomes a communication tool — sharing announcements, HR updates, events, safety reminders, birthdays, and company culture messaging in a way employees actually see. BreaktimeTV is meant to enhance your story. We operate as a secondary screen program designed to influence buying decisions while improving the overall breakroom experience. ⸻ Breaktime Data Breaktime Data supports the network by providing reliable connectivity solutions from Verizon Wireless at an industry-best price that helps ensure kiosks, other IoT devices and BTV screens stay online while being easy to deploy across locations. Together, BreaktimeTV and Breaktime Data help operators modernize the breakroom, increase sales, and create new revenue opportunities — all without adding operational complexity. BreaktimeTV is helping redefine what the breakroom can be. BreaktimeTV — Where America Takes a Break™
Applestone Solutions LLC
Applestone’s vending and smart fridge software solution brings flexibility, intelligence, and scalability to self-service fresh food sales. Whether dispensing everyday goods or managing highly perishable products like meat, seafood, and prepared foods, Applestone helps businesses expand their reach, boost sales, reduce wait times, and deliver 24/7 sales experiences. Applestone’s software was originally designed to sell meat with greater safety, intelligence, and regulatory compliance than other leading vending software systems. Unlike any other fresh food vending system, Applestone’s solution tracks inventory at the item level – including individual item details like weight, lot number, expiration date, and price. Retailers always know exactly what’s in stock and where – a crucial capability when dealing with perishable foods that require strict inventory oversight. While Applestone’s solution can sell any kind of product, it’s still the gold standard for butchers, specialty grocers, food producers, supermarkets, and food service brands. From preventing the sale of expired items to issuing automated alerts for temperature fluctuation events, our software reduces waste, improves operational efficiency, and protects brand reputation. Merchants benefit from real-time reporting on sales and inventory, remote diagnostics, and actionable data analytics that optimize restocking, pricing, and location performance. We’ve partnered with a wide variety of hardware manufacturers, allowing us to offer everything from high-capacity refrigerated machines, smart fridges, frozen food machines, and refrigerated and frozen smart lockers. The open architecture of our cloud-based solution allows it to integrate easily with your preferred payment devices, point-of-sale platforms, loyalty programs, and inventory management systems. As a proud member of the Meat Institute, we’re thrilled to be making our debut at the Annual Meat Conference and look forward to meeting retailers and operators who are ready to give vending a try. | Applestone’s vending and smart fridge software solution brings flexibility, intelligence, and scalability to self-service fresh food sales.
