As the CEO of MonkeyMedia Software and the founder of our Catering Institute, I’m always searching high and low for great products & services that can be layered on top of restaurant catering operations.  I spent some time over spring break in Los Angeles, and as I often do, mixed some pleasure with business.

Of course, as many of you also know, I’m working in Los Angles alot these days trying to finish our restaurant documentary film, Back To Basics, in support of Prostart.

Maybe with a little luck, our community film will get support for ALL the printing from some kind and generous people who genuinely want to do good work in our industry! Oh, and did I mention that they already do great work for some great brands in our industry?  Brands we all know and love.

On my journey, I get to meet fantastic people.  I mean, really fantastic.  Hard working people with big visions!  With that, comes factory tours, conversations and the opportunity to learn how other industries can service our restaurant community, especially in the catering channel.

In comes Dan Hirt (Owner of Primarycolor) and Paul Wartman (Senior VP, Franchise Development).  Lot’s of heart and soul!  Lot’s of skills and three incredible factories for large format printing, litho printing and digital printing.  Machines, Photography, Technology, Large Scale…. I am certain that no matter what you are currently printing for your brand, Dan and Paul can do it better, faster and with a better ROI.  More speed, fewer errors and of course, with better service to your franchisees.  I’ve seen it with my own eyes!

You see, Primary Color does much of the printing for Hollywood films including posters, bus shelters, billboards, bus wraps, trade show booths, delivery vehicle wraps and just about any other kind of printing you can think of.  They can print on anything!  Yes, anything.  Even Glass!  Check this video out.

I was so impressed with my tour, that I am hoping that Primary Color will become another of our community vendors to be “catering certified” in the coming days.  Just like Inktel did.

As a catering certified partner, Primary Color will offer full turnkey printing services to our community that can handle the volume needed at the highest levels of our restaurant community.  For large brands.  After all, they already work with brands such as Chik-Fil-A and McDonald’s.

As a franchisor, if you are looking for some great people to look after ALL your printing needs, call Dan or Paul at 949 660 7080 or visit their website.  Even better, send them an email at danhirt@primarycolor.com or paulwartman@primarycolor.com.

Tell them Erle sent you.  Oh, and while your at it, let them know how much you’d appreciate it if they’d be willing to handle the printing for our film!  We sure could use the help.
