Early previews of the iPhone app, Q-Busta, in development

Here are some of the mock-ups showing what it will be like to use the Q-Busta App at a festival.

Choosing, ordering and paying for food and beverages on the phone – then just go and collect it.

In particular we want to set up trials at more permanent infrastructures such as theatre bars, sports stadia, race courses, sandwich bars and holiday parks.

Q-Busta is a smartphone application in development by Sapien Innovations

Q-Busta is a smart-phone application to enable consumers to skip queues at theatre bars, festivals, events, sandwich bars, pubs and holiday parks.

Steve Hales, CEO of Sapien, said, “Everyone has experienced queuing for food or beverages at bars and stalls out and about. Q-Busta provides the ability to skip queues by choosing, ordering and paying for items using a smartphone. There are no surcharges for the consumer, instead vendors sign up for a small subscription fee.”

Below are some early screen-shots of the application. More details coming shortly to the Q-Busta website.

The next Continuous Processing seminar is planned for early 2010. Input is requested from potential attendees …

Sapien Process Technologies is updating its web-site. In the mean time this page has been set-up on behalf of Sapien Process Technologies to support the organisation of a second continuous processing seminar.

Evolution of a Laboratory Plug Flow Reactor

In February 2009, Sapien Process Technologies organised a seminar for pharmaceutical and fine chemical firms on continuous processing. The event included speakers from GSK, Genzyme, Pfizer and Phoenix Chemicals. It was regarded as a great success and there have been many requests for another event in early 2010. This page has been set up to tailor the event for those who attend.

Some of the feedback from the 50 attendees last time:-

• “Good networking opportunity. Experienced speakers from whom I learned how important it is to have a dedicated team for the job, and how we all could save time by learning from each other”.
• “Great way to hear where everybody is up to in Bx to Cont & to make useful contacts”.
• “Interesting to hear a more global perspective rather than being limited to the scientific aspects ie to hear about continuous process in the context of cost, unused batch capacity etc”.

INPUT FOR THE 2010 SEMINAR

Last year’s topics talks had primarily a global, big pharma emphasis. This time we are seeking suggestions and preferences of all kinds.
