Tabletop Beer Menus Help Patrons Make Quick, Informed, Beer Selections!

Next time you visit a brewpup or bar, take a look at how they tell you about all the beers they offer. If they have to verbally recite the never ending list that numbs your brain or they point to some chalk board 15’ away, tell them they’re missing a super opportunity to make beer ordering simpler and quicker.

They need “Podia®Tabletop Display”!

Our Podia Tabletop Menu Holder is quickly becoming popular with breweries, brewpubs and bars because they’re durable, instantly changed and encourage customers to pick out their next beer before they finished the last. Simple and easy, right?! Servers and wait staff are often barraged with
questions like, “What’s on tap” and “Any

specials? “What’s Olde Frothingslosh taste like?” “Is that a strong beer?” and so on.

With Podia, the daily beer list can be printed and displayed in an a two-sided, unbreakable capsule to detail the type of beer, cost, alcohol percent and whatever information would help to have bar patrons make quick, informed decisions.

What's more it's unbreakable! Check out the Demo videos HERE and see for yourself.

Please tell your local brewpub about Podia.

Introducing “QU™" - The Designer’s Tabletop Display and Signage System

     Beginning today, we are placing our durable little tabletop display into the eyes and ears of top designers around the world under the new brand “QU™”. The name is a takeoff of “queue”, meaning “list of data, to stand up in line” and so on. The strikingly simple name and logo design is the brainchild of our good friend, Thomas Mills, of MillsIdeas, LLC in Kalamazoo, Michigan.
     The product was born as “Pōdia Tabletop Display” in 2004 and has been widely accepted in the hospitality business in the US under that name. But, now it’s time for the rest of the world to know about this wonderfully durable display product and we are starting with designers. The reason for this approach is simple. QU perfectly displays an 8.5” x 11’ standard printed paper. And who makes the best looking printed pieces of paper? Designers!
     The designer simply and easily composes the graphics into a standard two-column format using any graphic program, including MS Word, prints the document, folds it lengthwise and inserts it into the QU capsule for an instant display.
     The better looking the graphics the better QU looks, for the capsule totally takes on the look of the document’s design.
     How would designers use QU? For virtually any and all smaller graphic and communication needs. Of course, because they’re easily changed they’re perfect for menus, communicating hotel and resort services and welcoming guests. But, also, they’re wonderful to display photos and messages about designer’s works for self promotion, client use for trade shows, case studies and special events.

     Also, the QU model with the built-in wall mount bracket allows QU to be easily mounted horizontally on any surface where a nail or screw is installed. Please see our http://www.meetqu.com/ website for more information and to order your QU today!

Super Podia Tabletop Display vs. Podia Classic - A True Tale

        OK, I laughed out loud when I heard that this tale about one of our discontinued products. Here’s a true “marketing” oriented story that illustrates how a little information, when left out of a tradeshow demonstration is, well, sometimes kind of funny.
        We have five videos on our Podia Table Display website that show how durable this amazing product is. For example, in one video a Pontiac drives over one, in another an elephant steps it and it another we toss it from the roof of our building onto the parking lot pavement, and so on. Of course, the wonderful gizmo survives all the abuse. But prior to this newer, 2006 version of the clear polycarbonate capsule, we had the original model that was terrific in all respects except that it was not durable enough to withstand quite the excesses of misuse as the newer version is shown to do in the videos.
        At a tradeshow a few weeks ago I demonstrated the product durability to a bright and energetic young fellow, who is also a relative and who shall remain nameless (Jason Whitmore). He was very impressed and a few days later he was in his office in downtown Kalamazoo where they actually had some of our Podia Tabletop Displays in use. He was so enthused about how wonderful the product is that he asked a fellow worker, “Have you seen how durable this thing is?” No, the person said so the hero of my story took it to a nearby room with a hard tile floor and threw it down, much like the video showing the toss from our roof. Well, of course, this was the older version and it busted apart into a scattered array of plastic parts! As he tells it, “Boy, was I surprised and was my face red!"  Well, apparently I hadn't thought to mention that there was an older version the won't "pass the test".
        As they say, don’t try this at home! Unless you have our Podia MenuPro model and then you can drive over it, crack walnuts with it and use it for batting practice. For a happy ending to the story, I have since congratulated the young man for his uncommon exuberance, treated him to lunch and replaced the older version with Super Podia MenuPro!
