DiBella’s Subs Sales Rebound to Pre-pandemic Levels

Catering and Technology
Focus

ROCHESTER, N.Y., Nov. 24, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — In a restaurant segment pummeled by the pandemic, year-to-date sales at DiBella’s Subs are now trending even with last year. DiBella’s operates 44 family-owned locations in New York, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, Ohio and Michigan, serving premium sandwiches, salads and cookies.

“We realized that we would need to think outside the box to survive,” said Jennifer Jackson, vice president of Brand and People of the family-owned company. “But we also wanted to stay true to our culture and values.” DiBella’s initial goals were to keep its employees on the payroll and support people working to keep its communities safe.

Today, DiBella’s workforce remains steady at approximately 800. More than $365,000 has been raised for local foodbanks, with hundreds of thousands of meals donated to first responders and health care workers. Strategies to drive sales crafted during the early days of the pandemic continue to be leveraged and expanded, including:

Off-premise
sales
: DiBella’s, which had a strong catering program in place before COVID-19, found new opportunities in unusual places. Donations to hospitals resulted in Dibella’s products being added to hospital cafeterias. Similarly, contributions to schools led to new catering orders.

Local catering teams are currently focusing on Black Friday, taking box lunch orders from retailers.

Technology: Guests arriving at a store who are uneasy about entering can place orders via a web link or QR code. Their order immediately goes to the printer, as if they are at the counter. Introduced at a limited number of locations when dining rooms were closed last spring, it is now offered systemwide.

Before COVID-19, online sales were 15 to 20% of the chain’s volume. Today they are about 60%. A new online ordering system launched this month.

Loyalty club membership has increased 50% this year, and DiBella’s, which often gets requests to ship subs to areas where it does not have locations, is testing a nationwide delivery program.

“We’re very optimistic about the future, especially with the role technology will play in helping us adapt to our guests’ changing needs,” Jackson said. “Our goal is to make every guest feel comfortable with their DiBella’s experience, no matter what uncertainties lie ahead.”

Chubb Index Highlights Importance of Professional Services Industry Taking More Protective Steps Against Cyber Attacks

PR Newswire

Businesses can take extra steps to protect their remote workforce against cyber threats

WHITEHOUSE STATION, N.J., Nov. 24, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — In the latest edition of the Chubb Cyber InFocus Report, Chubb data reveals that the professional services industry need to take more proactive and protective measures against potential cyber attacks. Chubb has seen a 10% increase in cyber incidents relating to professional services companies. These are largely email-driven organizations, meaning there are many opportunities for employees to click on malicious links, driven by email phishing.  

“Most cyber attacks are coming from outside the company, leaving businesses at greater risk in the current work-from-home environment,” said William A. Wise, Head of Chubb Cyber North America. “Due to the rise in incidents resulting from email phishing, employers with remote employees need to take additional steps to protect their companies against cyber threats.”

For example, companies should use multifactor authentication for protected data and to keep software and applications up-to-date.

In addition to highlighting risks within the professional services industry, the latest Cyber InFocus report also examines:

  • Changes in cyber vulnerability by industry since 2016.
  • Breach sources over the last four years showing an increase in threats by external actors, including malware attacks.
  • Cyber crime examples in the most vulnerable industries, how they were exposed and what was learned in the process.

According to the Chubb Cyber IndexSM:

  • Chubb has also seen an 8% increase in cyber incidents for the technology sector, a 7% increase in the manufacturing industry and a notable increase in the public entity claim counts.
  • Over the last two years, malware-related incidents have grown to account for 22% of claims, compared to 25% for social, or email phishing, which are other leading causes of cyber attacks.

“As cyber incidents continue to evolve in complexity and focus, it’s critically important that companies understand how cyber-and privacy-related incidents affect their organizations,” added Anthony Dolce, Vice President, Cyber Lead, Chubb North America Financial Lines Claims. “The Cyber InFocus Report is a timely tool to help agents, brokers and companies understand the latest trends on cyber threats, helping to prevent issues from happening in the first place.”

Chubb’s Cyber InFocus report, which first launched in early 2018, provides insights into the effects of cyber risks and trends on specific industries or business segments each quarter. Such insight is based on Chubb’s use of third-party research, as well as proprietary claims data from more than two decades of insuring organizations against evolving cyber threats.

Visit www.chubb.com/cyber to read this quarter’s Chubb Cyber InFocus Report, and reports from previous quarters, and get access to additional insight into risk mitigation practices, as well as real-time proprietary cyber claims data through the Chubb Cyber Index.

Resgreen Group Brings Affordable and Effective Disinfecting Robot to Market

Online Sales of Wanda SD Begins today at resgreenint.com

PR Newswire

CLINTON TOWNSHIP, Mich., Nov. 24, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Resgreen Group (RGGI) today launched sales of its industry-changing Wanda SD, a cost-effective robot that uses Ultraviolet-C (UVC) lights to sanitize everything from schools and offices to hotels and airplanes. The affordable Wanda SD costs $5,000 and can be purchased at resgreenint.com with a $1,000 deposit.

“The recent pandemic has caused increased concerns about the disinfection of public spaces and how to keep students, customers and visitors safe from deadly viruses and bacteria,” said Parsh Patel, CEO of RGGI. “Wanda SD gives our customers peace of mind that their facilities are clean and safe by killing more than 99 percent of harmful pathogens.”

Wanda SD features a 42-inch tall light tower with dual UVC lamps that sanitize the air and surfaces such as desks and tables. UVC spotlights underneath the vehicle scour the floor, destroying pathogens in its path. At 253.7 nm, UVC radiation breaks down the genetic material of bacteria and viruses. The robot cleans approximately 200 square feet in just 15 minutes. Even more impressive, it can cover up to 7,200 square feet over a 12-hour period before requiring charging thanks to its lithium ion phosphate battery that provides three times the power at half the weight.

When disinfection of a room is complete, a text message is sent by the vehicle’s advanced software system. The software also keeps a running log of where and when all tasks were finished, as well as how long the UVC lights were on, for current and future verification.

The Wanda SD model is easily guided from a separate location using nearly any smart device, including smartphones or tablets. Exposure to UVC light can be dangerous to eyes and skin. To protect workers, the vehicle is equipped with two levels of perimeter monitoring via a Passive Infrared Sensor (PIR) and ultrasound that detect when someone enters an area being sanitized. When this occurs, the UVC lamps automatically turn off.

At just 42″ tall with a 17″x17″ base, Wanda SD is versatile enough to navigate through tight spaces. The base is 3D printed from environmentally friendly, biodegradable polymer material. In addition to disinfection, Wanda SD can transport more than 200 pounds of packages and mail.

“Our experienced team of engineers, designers and manufacturing experts have built the most robust, reliable and cost-effective robot for protecting the public against dangerous germs,” said Patel. “Wanda SD is designed and manufactured in the U.S.A. from U.S.-made components to reduce costs for our customers and make delivery of replacement parts quicker and easier.”

About Resgreen Group International, Inc. (RGGI)

RGGI is a leading developer of Artificial Intelligence Robotics (AIRs), Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs), and Automatic Guided Vehicles (AGVs).

Rita & Alex Hillman Foundation Announces Partnership With Arthur Vining Davis Foundations to Support Innovation in Nursing-Driven Serious Illness and End of Life Care

Collaboration Will More than Double Available Funding from the Hillman Program for Early-Stage Interventions Targeting the Needs of Underserved Populations

NEW YORK, Nov. 24, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The Rita & Alex Hillman Foundation and the Arthur Vining Davis Foundations have committed to a collaboration to promote innovative nurse-driven care for seriously ill vulnerable populations and those at the of life. This partnership will expand funding to support nursing research through the Hillman Serious Illness and End of Life Emergent Innovation (HSEI) Program. The addition of $400,000 provided by the Arthur Vining Davis Foundations will maximize the impact and reach of the HSEI program by offering a total of $650,000 in awards for 2021.

The Hillman Serious Illness and End of Life Emergent Innovation Program, which launched in 2018, provides 18-24 month grants of $50,000 to accelerate the development of bold, nursing-driven interventions targeting the unmet serious illness and end of life needs of vulnerable populations, including people who are economically disadvantaged, racial and ethnic minorities, LGBTQ people, people experiencing homelessness, rural populations, and others.

“Our collaboration with the Arthur Vining Davis Foundations exemplifies creative philanthropy at its best,” said Ahrin Mishan, Executive Director of the Rita & Alex Hillman Foundation. “By embracing risk, sharing expertise, and combining resources, our foundations have significantly expanded our ability to accelerate innovation in the field.”

A Rare Commitment to Supporting Early-Stage Work

A hallmark of the Hillman Serious Illness and End of Life Emergent Innovation Program is its commitment to supporting new, potentially transformative ideas. Experimentation is critical to fueling a vibrant pipeline of innovation and yet these nascent efforts often experience difficulty securing grants because many funders are averse to investing in pre-evidence work.

“Too often those of us working in philanthropy feel the need to find the ‘next big thing’ to support when our colleagues are sometimes already doing that ‘next big thing’. We are very happy to roll up our sleeves and join forces with the Rita & Alex Hillman Foundation in the high-impact work they have been doing in this vital area,” said Michael Murray, President of the Arthur Vining Davis Foundations. “We hope to learn more about the important role that nursing plays in serious illness and end of life care through this project, and that this will make us better stewards of the work that we do in this space.”

An RFP for 2021 funding will be available in late January 2021. More information on the Hillman Serious Illness and End of Life Emergent Innovation Program is available here.

ABOUT THE RITA & ALEX HILLMAN FOUNDATION

The Rita & Alex Hillman Foundation’s mission is to improve the lives of patients, families, and communities through nursing-driven innovation. To this end, the Foundation cultivates nurse leaders, supports nursing research, and promotes new models of care that are critical to making the U.S. health care system more patient-centered, accessible, equitable, and affordable.
