Rex Baron – VRex Lounge

by

Rex Baron-VRex Virtual Realty Lounge

Looking to escape reality and spend time with the dinosaurs or pilot a plane? Head to Boca’s Boca’s Rex Baron restaurant and hi-tech VRex Lounge.

Located at Town Center Mall in the Nordstrom wing, the virtual reality lounge and post-apocalyptic dining experience are opened after some unanticipated delays.

The second outpost in the Rex Gryphon Restaurant Group concept opened to the public on Dec. 12 after a private VIP reception was held the night before.

The VIP party was attended by the Rex Gryphon Restaurant Group’s executive team and its newest member former NFL New York Giants running back and Dancing with the Stars winner Rashad Jennings.

The former football star, New York Times bestselling author and youth advocate is spending some his time developing and increasing awareness of the REX, Restaurant, Entertainment, Experience, Vigilante Post brand.

“Rashad was intrigued with the restaurant group’s positive message of rebuilding community as this is something he does each and every day through The Rashad Jennings Foundation,” shared hospitality industry veteran and lead developer of Rex Gryphon’s vigilante posts Michael Norris. ”We look forward to his valued contribution to Rex Gryphon where he will be focusing on both the brand’s healthy menu offerings and an increased alignment with charity causes.”

At the grand opening, Jennings told the Delray Newspaper that the chicken wings are the best he has ever tasted. He also shared that is gluten free and the menu items can accommodate many dietary restrictions.

Before food was served, guests were invited to experience flying a plane, driving a race car or painting like Picasso in the VRex Lounge. Exclusively outfitted by VRgineers based in Prague, the lounges will be the only public VR venues in the world offering XTAL, the world’s first VR headset with AutoEye and embedded

 Leap Motion with 5k resolution.

From there, folks entered the dining room where “the art of food meets the art of survival.

“To disrupt and excel in an ever-evolving industry, we have created and mastered the REX at our posts by offering a high quality, healthy and delicious menu with a storied, rustic, new world cross-generational atmosphere that engages and stimulates,” Norris said. “We look forward to sharing the REX with greater South Florida, its residents and businesses, and visitors, as it is an easy drive from Miami to Stuart.”

Craft Collective — A South Florida Dinner Club is all about providing its members with access to private, chef-led events at the area’s top restaurants.

While many restaurants and chefs host various kinds of special dinner events, there is no exclusive membership-based club like this one, which launches this month on Jan. 9 at Oceans 234 in Deerfield Beach.

Craft Collective gives guest a way out of the “normal” South Florida dining scene, and into an interactive and unparalleled culinary experience.

Club members break bread around communal tables and evaluate each course on provided feedback cards, which is shared with the chefs, closing the collaborative circle.

In addition to the dinner events, members will enjoy access to a curated collective of exclusive perks from participating restaurants and foodie-focused brands.

Magic Leap – Experience a Hotel Before You Get There

Magic Leap’s new feature will let you experience your hotel before you get there

Magic Leap has raised $2.6 billion and employs more than 1,600 people, with the majority at its Plantation headquarters. The company, which was founded in 2011, has not released sales on its first product. Tech industry publications have reported that sales have been slower than expected. Magic Leap has declined to comment.
Want to check out a resort in Aruba before you book? Now, using a special wearable computer, you’ll be able to immerse yourself at a great international destination before actually flying there.

The feature, or a location-based experience, is one of the new applications being touted by Plantation-based Magic Leap. The company on Tuesday announced an updated version of its Magic Leap One product, googles that provide “spatial computing,” or a computer-generated interactive experience.
In 2020, JetBlue Vacations will offer the chance for customers to explore one of their premier international hotel destinations using Magic Leap One. “The experiences bring the digital world into live events and physical spaces,” Magic Leap said in a news release.
Other ways to showcase the feature include pop-up experiences or permanent installations at sports venues, museums, trade shows and college campuses, Magic Leap said.
“We believe spatial computing has limitless potential to positively impact our lives,” said Rony Abovitz, founder and CEO of Magic Leap, in a news release.

The technology “is a seamless blend of the digital and the physical,” said Carlos Penzini, senior vice president at Magic Leap, last week told the audience at ITPalooza, a South Florida technology event.

“We’re now live in a world where you don’t have to play Fortnite on a screen. You can be running down Las Olas playing Fortnite,” Penzini said.
Magic Leap’s goal is to eliminate the need for screens, such as mobile phones, TVs and laptops for interactive technology experiences. “We’re going to look back on this era where we have screens and say ‘why did we have screens?’ This is so much better,” he said.

The company said Tuesday that its business version of Magic Leap’s wearable computer, priced at $2,995 — a $700 more expensive than its first model — also could be used for modeling buildings, generating virtual bodies for use by medical students and in surgery, staging houses for sales, and training workers.

Women Owned Business Dominate Plaza

by

Women Entrepreneurs and Business Owners Dominate Boynton Beach Plaza

In an article published by the PBP they point to a Boynton Beach CRA business plaza where the tenants are mostly women entrepreneurs.  This is an exciting time in Boynton Beach and with  creative businesses being launched it is only going to get better – It’s a great time to be opening a business in Boynton Beach!

Anita Znaor, a 47-year-old single mom and native of Croatia, who worked in the service and restaurant industry for 24 years until her two sons became college age. “Okay, it’s my time,” Znaor said she decided. “I wanted to run a business myself.”

In March 2018, Znaor opened Deep Ocean Reef Bar & Grill, a family-style restaurant with a bit of European flair and a menu where everything is made from scratch.  “Most people that come here, I don’t lose,” Znaor said.

After a slow start, Znaor said business is “really good.” She attributes that success to her background in the industry. Prior to opening her restaurant, Znaor worked in the cruise industry and also did everything from bartending to waiting tables.
“I always tell people, if you don’t know the entire business, you shouldn’t start it,” Znaor said.

Michelle Gingold, 30, knows what she’s doing. She developed her culinary chops by attending The Art Institute of Fort Lauderdale then apprenticing for six years at area restaurants and bakeries.  More than two years ago, Gingold opened Del Sol Bakery along with her younger sister, Melisa, who has a business degree and helps on that side of the business.  Del Sol opened with only a half-dozen pastries on its menu. Now you can get sandwiches, made-to-order cakes and espresso. The bakery has added two employees since its first muffin was baked.  “It’s a lot of work,” Michelle Gingold said. You do everything. It’s not just the baking. We do all the accounting, the managing, anything that comes up. But we also get the freedom of getting to experiment and explore different things. If we want want to try a different bread or flavor of scone, we can do that.”  Gingold and the other women in the plaza have formed something of a symbiotic relationship. The bakery, for instance, sells its bread to Znaor’s restaurant.  “We look out for each other,” said Trellanie Bray-Poole, owner of Boynton Beach Wine & Spirits.

Among the plaza’s six female store owners, Bray-Poole choice of business venture stands out. Although statistics are hard to come by, female owners of liquor stores appear rare. Bray-Poole said she’s the only one she knows.  Bray-Poole also runs a side bail-bond business and is the mother of two, including a 15-year-old daughter who can be found at her mom’s shop after school doing homework.
“I have a different drive that pushes me,” Bray-Poole said.

Bray-Poole has owned her store for more than a year and said it’s “really taken off,” which she thinks is partly a result of her “trusting our customers” to touch the store’s products, while competitors have their merchandise behind glass or other barriers.
A graduate of Santaluces High School, Bray-Poole grew up in the neighborhood surrounding her store and said part of her responsibility is to mentor young people in the area.  So when someone under 21 comes into her shop and tries to purchase alcohol illegally, they receive no booze but they do get an earful of straight talk.
“Hearing it from a woman who grew up in the same neighborhood, they go out smiling,” Bray-Poole said. “People say I’m a role model, but I just try to provide encouragement, showing them that the things they think they can’t do, they can.”

The other female business owners at Ocean Palm Plaza are:

— Esraa Dashti, 33, originally from Kuwait who opened Flora Beauty Supply a little over a year ago. “This was my childhood dream,” said Dashti, who immigrated to the U.S. eight years ago.

–- LaShaunte Black, 31, of Boynton Beach, said opening Shaunte Hair Kisses Salon was “overwhelming” and she thought of shutting down a few times. Three years later, Black is still at it. “You just have to keep the faith and know what you want to happen is going to happen,” Black said.

–- Yzala Joseph, from Haiti, is a graduate of Santaluces High and Palm Beach State College and handles accounting, bookkeeping and tax preparation.

The plaza is in the city’s Community Redevelopment Agency district. The CRA is tasked with fostering redevelopment by, for instance, providing grants to small business owners.

Business Incubator – Boynton Beach

by

Business Incubator – New City Hall

There’s a lot going on in Boynton Beach; Business Incubator gets green light!

In a story reported recenlty in the Palm Beach Post – excerpted below there are great expectations for the business incubator being that is being included in the new city hall.

If the world’s next multibillion-dollar startup — think Apple or Amazon — is being created inside the garage of a Boynton Beach home, the city has plans to help.

During its Sept. 5 meeting, the city commission approved a proposal to donate 2,000 square feet in the new city hall for a “business incubator” that’s designed to assist local entrepreneurs in getting their fledgling companies up and running.

While key details have yet to be worked out — including who will operate the incubator — the general idea is to provide local small business owners with a wide range of services, such as legal advice, marketing strategies, business plan development, in a shared space.

One way the incubator might work, city officials say, is for participants to apply for positions and “graduate” from the program after their businesses grow to a point where they need to hire additional employees to continue operations.

“We understand that local small businesses are a driver in our economy,” said David Scott, director of economic development and strategy. “Locals hire locals, whether they’re family members, kids in the neighborhood or other residents and, when that happens, the city thrives.”

Aim is to help business owners get to the next level

The city already has grant programs to assist existing businesses, but the incubator is geared for, say, the baker whose cupcake orders are getting too big for a residential kitchen.

At the incubator, that baker might share a commercial kitchen with others, while gaining insight that will allow that business, in Scott’s words, to “get to the next level.”

Scott foresees the incubator supporting 15 to 25 business owners at one time, although such details won’t be decided until the operator is selected. Those business owners selected for the program would likely pay a “nominal” fee to participate, Scott said.

City looking for spaces where incubator grads can set up shop

The U.S. Small Business Administration estimates that only 44 percent of small businesses continue to operate after four years. But the National Business Incubation Association states that nearly 90 percent of incubated companies are still in business five years after graduating from its affiliated programs.

City officials are already speaking to the Community Redevelopment Agency to identify commercial spaces where its incubator graduates can set up shop in a fixed location.

Consideration was given to two other potential uses for the first-floor area assigned to the incubator. A co-working space, set up to provide below-market-value offices, and a maker space, which allows participants to share high-tech equipment like 3D printers, were investigated by city staffers, but it was the business incubator they recommended the commission adopt.

Commissioners unanimously agreed. The incubator is set to begin operations when city hall opens.
