Although this is not an article per se, I wanted to post this link on here anyways because in recent years I've noticed that more and more places I go to (specifically restaurants and food trucks) I find that they use Square as their POS. After looking through their website I can see why this POS has become so popular. Square is super easy to use, it offers options when it comes to receiving the receipt (as the customer) and you are able to manage your inventory in real time. Additionally, you can create customer profiles, have more than 1 location and create different customer profiles. Basically, this system does everything a traditional POS system does but it is more modern, user friendly and versatile.

MGM Hotels have found that post-conference survey results show that attendees felt more connected and engaged in meetings where there was biophilic elements incorporated such as meeting rooms with patterned carpets and active green walls constructed from plants or moss. The Delos group also works with Wyndham Hotels and Resorts and Marriot Resorts International to add live plants and other innovative biophilic elements in their spaces. Science shows that biophilic design does add satisfaction to occupants and keeps us happier, focused and engaged.
