Vemos Introduces Vemos Pay for Restaurants & Bars

As published in Restaurant Magazine on July 16, 2020.

Today, Vemos announced the release of Vemos Pay, its contactless payment application that allows guests to view, split and pay their check at restaurants and bars. It’s free to both consumers and establishments, and works with the restaurant’s existing point of sale system.

“The hospitality industry has been hit hard by COVID-19, so we sought out a way to provide a safe solution that doesn’t cut into already thin margins during this incredibly difficult time,” said Parag Shah, Co-Founder and Director of Vemos. “Because Vemos Pay works with the establishment’s existing point of sale system, there’s no staff training or additional accounting required. It’s the same as taking a credit card payment, only the payment is sent from the customer’s phone instead to minimize the number of touchpoints.”

Vemos Pay mimics the process that already exists to make it simple for restaurant staff. Guests enter their table number on the Vemos Pay app to see their check while still ordering directly with the server. When they’re ready to leave, they pay through the app using a stored payment method. Payment is encrypted and sent directly to the point of sale system, is processed with the same merchant services provider, and the check is closed on both the point of sale system as well as the consumer’s app. Payments include gratuity, and can also be split with other guests at the table.

Vemos made its Vemos Pay solution free to allow for a no-barriers way for restaurants & bars to provide a safer environment amidst the pandemic.

“We noticed point of sale systems were coming out with their own solutions, but many were at a price point that made it hard for these restaurants to adopt them,” said Shah. “They also weren’t centered around guest experience or loyalty. We’ve been in the hospitality industry for the past 10 years and know first-hand how important guest experience is to build repeat business, and wanted to do our part to make sure there’s an attainable solution that allows restaurants & bars to achieve this.”

What are the differences between 7015 and 7018 welding rods?

The 7015 and 7018 welding rods are both types of electrodes used in shielded metal arc welding (SMAW), commonly known as stick welding. While they share some similarities, there are significant differences between these two types of welding rods. Here are the main differences:

Classification:
The 7015 and 7018 welding rods belong to different American Welding Society (AWS) classifications. The 7015 welding rod is classified as an E7015 electrode, while the 7018 welding rod is classified as an E7018 electrode. The “E” in the classification indicates that these electrodes are intended for use in SMAW processes.

Tensile Strength:
One of the significant differences between the two welding rods is their tensile strength. The 7015 welding rod typically has a lower tensile strength compared to the 7018 welding rod. This means that welds made with the 7018 electrode are generally stronger and able to withstand higher loads and stresses.

Coating and Flux Composition:
The composition of the flux coating on the welding rods differs between the 7015 and 7018 electrodes. The 7015 welding rod has a high-cellulose potassium coating, which promotes deep penetration and is often used for welding thick metals in all positions. On the other hand, the 7018 welding rod has a low-hydrogen potassium coating, which helps reduce the risk of hydrogen-induced cracking and produces smooth, clean welds with good mechanical properties.

Welding Position:
While both welding rods are suitable for various welding positions, the 7015 electrode is particularly well-suited for all-position welding, including vertical and overhead positions. The deep penetration provided by the high-cellulose coating makes it useful for welding in challenging positions. The 7018 electrode is also versatile and can be used in all positions, but its low-hydrogen coating makes it especially suitable for critical applications and situations where hydrogen-induced cracking must be avoided.

Welding Applications:
Due to their different characteristics, the 7015 and 7018 welding rods are often used for different applications. The 7015 welding rod is commonly used for general fabrication, construction, and maintenance work, especially when welding thicker materials in various positions. The 7018 welding rod, with its superior strength and clean welds, is preferred for critical applications in industries such as construction, structural welding, pressure vessel fabrication, and heavy machinery manufacturing.

In summary, the key differences between the 7015 and 7018 welding rods lie in their tensile strength, flux coating composition, and suitability for specific welding applications. Welders should select the appropriate welding rod based on the requirements of their welding projects, considering factors such as material thickness, welding position, and the need for high-strength and high-quality welds.
