Epson’s Point-of-Sale Solutions Bring Streamlined Order Pickup to Multi-Vendor Food Hall in Florida

Kluck’s Cloud-Native Restaurant Platform and Epson Liner-Free Thermal Label Printers Simplify Order Fulfillment and Eliminate Guest Pickup Confusion for Central Park St. Pete Food Hall

LOS ALAMITOS, Calif. , Oct. 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Epson today announced that Central Park St. Pete Food Hall, a multi-concept dining destination in St. Petersburg, Florida, has found success with Epson point-of-sale (POS) labeling and printing solutions for its innovative multi-vendor ordering and fulfillment model. Leveraging OmniLink® TM-L100 liner-free thermal label printers across every vendor stall and OmniLink mSeries receipt printers at bars and expo stations, Central Park St. Pete provides guests with a frictionless pickup experience while simplifying operations for food hall operators and vendors alike.

Epson OmniLink TM-L100 linerfree label printers help Central Park St. Pete create frictionless guest pickup experiences.

“Central Park St. Pete was built around the idea that guests should be able to explore multiple food concepts as easily as they would a single restaurant,” said Natalia Levey, co-owner, Central Park St. Pete. “Each kitchen runs its own menu and hours, but whether guests order at a kiosk or online for takeout, it feels like one cohesive experience. Epson’s printing and labeling technology helps streamline workflow and the customer experience by making pickup intuitive and stress-free, allowing guests to focus on enjoying the food rather than figuring out which order belongs to them.”

Powered by Kluck, a cloud-native restaurant technology platform, Central Park St. Pete enables guests to order from multiple food concepts in a single transaction through kiosks or QR codes. As orders are prepared independently by individual vendors, Kluck allows the Food Hall to ensure every item is clearly identified and delivered to the correct guest, critical to maintaining a seamless customer experience.

“Getting orders to the kitchen isn’t the challenge, it’s everything that happens afterward,” said Cary Hicks, co-founder, Kluck. “Food halls create a unique operational challenge because a single transaction needs to be routed to multiple kitchens simultaneously. We designed our cloud-native platform to orchestrate that complexity behind the scenes. Epson’s solutions allow us to automatically generate labels at the correct vendor location in real time, ensuring every item is clearly identified and ready for pickup without adding extra steps for staff.”

Central Park St. Pete selected Epson as its exclusive printer provider, standardizing on a single platform across the facility to streamline deployment, support and day-to-day operations. Epson’s ePOS™ technology enables Kluck’s cloud-native platform to route print jobs across the network, ensuring labels are automatically generated at the appropriate vendor location.

“As hospitality concepts evolve, operators need technology that can support flexible and connected service models,” said Ian Livesay, product manager, Epson America, Inc. “Whether it’s a traditional restaurant or a multi-vendor venue, accurate labeling and reliable networked printing play an important role in creating efficient workflows and positive guest experiences. We’re proud to help innovative operators like Central Park St. Pete deliver both.”

Today, guests can place a single order across multiple vendors, pay once and easily collect their food from different stalls throughout the venue – a seamless experience from checkout to pickup.

“Reliable printing is one of those things nobody notices until it fails, and Epson’s printers have been extremely reliable for us,” said Hicks. “The TM-L100 label printers integrate seamlessly with our platform, printing each guest’s name directly on every order so guests always know exactly which food is theirs. That simple detail is what makes pickup across multiple vendors feel effortless. Central Park St. Pete proved the model, and we’re now brining the same Kluck and Epson solution to food halls and multi-vendor operators across the country.”

Elementix and Lightning Docs Announce Reporting Partnership to Deliver Industry-Comprehensive Data on Business-Purpose Lending

Published

on

By

Each company’s monthly report will draw on shared recorded transaction data and loan-level document data, giving lenders, brokers, and investors a more complete view of current bridge, fix-and-flip, construction, and DSCR lending.

IRVINE, Calif., Oct. 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Elementix, a leading provider of aggregated data on business-purpose lending, and Lightning Docs, the premier loan document automation platform for private lenders, Non-QM lenders, credit unions, and law firms, today announced a data-sharing partnership to strengthen reporting on the business-purpose lending market.

The partnership brings together two complementary datasets. Elementix aggregates recorded real estate transactions nationwide, including mortgages, deeds, satisfactions, assignments, and preforeclosure filings, providing a comprehensive picture of lender activity, loan volume, and market share. Lightning Docs captures loan-level terms at the point of document generation, including interest rates, loan amounts, and loan structures, from a document automation platform used by 60% of the nation’s top 50 private lenders. Combined, the two sources produce a level of coverage and detail that has been unprecedented in the private lending space.

“Private lending has long been an opaque industry, with limited data on interest rates, loan amounts, geographic trends, and other metrics that are vital to running a profitable operation,” said Nema Daghbandan, CEO of Lightning Docs. “Lightning Docs set the standard for monthly private lending market reporting, and this partnership raises it. By pairing our loan-level data with Elementix’s transaction data, we are delivering reporting with the scale, precision, and depth the market has been missing, and providing lenders, brokers, and investors a clearer view of the industry than they have ever had before.”

Each report, delivered at a regular monthly cadence, will cover bridge, fix-and-flip, ground-up construction, and DSCR loans, with aggregated data on interest rates, loan amounts, loan volume, lender activity, geographic trends at the state and regional level. All data will be aggregated and anonymized, with no borrower- or lender-specific loan terms disclosed.

“Managing risk in private lending starts with understanding the borrower and the broader market, yet lenders often have to make decisions with incomplete information. Elementix was built to help lenders understand that risk through public record data, and partnering with Lightning Docs adds the loan-level detail that completes the picture. Together, we’re helping lenders better understand market conditions and bring that context into how they assess and manage risk,” said Cameron Kelliher, founder and CEO of Elementix.

The first joint report is scheduled for release in November 2026. Reports will be published on the Lightning Docs and Elementix websites and distributed to subscribers of both companies.

About Elementix
Elementix is the borrower intelligence platform for private lenders. It helps lenders identify active investors, verify experience for better credit decisions, and reach decision-makers with leading contact data accuracy. For more information, visit www.elementix.com.

Meet Providi: One Company Behind Cerbo and OptiMantra

Published

on

By

The new name reflects a long-term commitment to the cash-pay personalized care market, where Cerbo and OptiMantra keep their brands and together serve nearly 7,000 clinics.

ATLANTA, Oct. 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Providi launched today as the corporate brand of the company behind Cerbo and OptiMantra, two long-standing products in the cash-pay personalized care market. The companies combined in 2025, backed by a growth investment from Mainsail Partners. Cerbo and OptiMantra will continue as product brands within Providi.

Together, the two providers of electronic health record (EHR) and practice management products support nearly 7,000 clinics. These include functional, integrative, longevity, wellness, direct primary care, concierge, med spa and behavioral health practices. Both have served the market since 2011.

The name Providi combines “provi,” for the provider at the center of every practice, with “vidi,” Latin for “I saw.” It stands for a company that starts with the provider and can see where personalized care is going.

Providi’s mission is to empower personalized care providers to deliver better patient outcomes and create thriving practices. That mission is already shaping the product roadmap. With the Cerbo and OptiMantra teams building together, new capabilities reach providers faster, and AI Scribe is the first example. Available now, Cerbo AI Scribe captures visit notes automatically, so providers spend less time charting between visits or after hours. OptiMantra AI Scribe, built on lessons from the Cerbo launch, is coming to OptiMantra providers soon.

“Personalized care providers built this market one practice at a time, each one designed around the time, attention and care they believe every patient deserves,” said Jeff Hindman, CEO of Providi. “Cerbo and OptiMantra have each earned the trust of thousands of practices, and Providi exists to amplify that work. Coming together as one company accelerates the innovation we can bring to market and enables us to invest more in both products. Our focus remains giving the providers already running our products and the new providers entering the market the technology they need to succeed.”

Providers can expect to log in to the same Cerbo and OptiMantra products, reach out to the same reps and receive support, onboarding and product updates the same way they do today. They will start to see the Providi name at combined events and in company communications, and they’ll feel it in their products: two teams sharing what they learn, active investment in both products and new capabilities reaching their practices sooner.
