Podcast Summary

"24/7 Germ-Free Touchscreens – Protection for Life" sponsored by Kastus explores the important and timely issue ensuring that customer touchscreens are safe for customers at all times.

The California Department of Public Health recently approved a variance to allow Generation Next Franchise Brands' Reis & Irvy's unattended ice cream and frozen yogurt kiosks to operate in the state, according to kioskmarketeplace.com. Under the variance, Reis & Irvy's is required to use a specific rinse system for cleaning and sanitizing, replacing the state's 24-hour cleaning schedule requirement with a schedule that allows operators to service kiosks once every 72 hours.

During the podcast, Elliot Maras, editor of Kiosk Marketplace, interviews John Browne founder and CEO of Kastus, who presents the problem of touchscreens spreading germs, the solution, and how we can enhance our customer's business.

Many people do not realize there can be four times as many germs on touchscreens as on a toilet seat. The more they engage with everyday surfaces, the more touchscreen users are exposed to infectious germs such as MRSA, E. coli and C. diff. For businesses, the state of touchscreens represents a risk to their brand, their customers and ultimately, their profits.
