Are Your Scales ADA Compliant?
Do not “weight” any longer! Upgrade to an ADA compliant seca multifunctional scale. The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), enacted in 1990, was designed to improve opportunities for persons with physical and mental disabilities by enforcing equal rights and requiring that reasonable accommodations for access be made for them. Many physicians practice in offices that are deficient in meeting the needs of their patients due to non-compliance with ADA guidelines. seca multifunctional medical scales allow physicians to comply with the law and provide better care for their disabled patients.

Cool Off With Frozen Yogurt By The Ounce
This is really fairly simple to accomplish. First, research your options and ascertain what price per ounce you intend to charge your clients in order to make a profit. Next, you will want to buy at minimum two price computing scales which display weight in oz . for each frozen yogurt shop because the weight from the items is important to your operation. If one scale were to fail for whatever reason, you would have another on hand. And with the two scales available, you can now charge customers for his or her frozen yogurt and get paid dollars per ounce. You merely fill up the cup with frozen yogurt, put it on the scale and acquire your price per ounce.
So if a customer or an employee, depending on your store arrangement, adds more or less yogurt to a “medium” size cup, the consumer is purchasing what they received and the store is being paid on what they sold.
