New handheld devices mean faster service and more security.
It only takes about 10 minutes to get a gourmet burger at Michael Symon’s newest B Spot, opening today at Crocker Park. Thanks to high-tech point of sale devices, servers can put an order in to the kitchen without even leaving the table. “It’s all part of the concept,” said Sam Lindsley, director of operations for Michael Symon Restaurants. “It’s a quick-serve, fast, casual rock ‘n roll burger joint.” The new devices mean that the bartender can start making a drink while you’re still picking out burger toppings. “We want the servers to stay on the floor, not go in the back and wait in line for their turn to go on the computer,” Lindsley said. “This really improves the quality of service.” At the end of the meal, a server can swipe your …

Fresh ingredients make for delectable pies, quiches, pub pies and even pie milkshakes at the new Westlake location.
Joe Schlott's first pie shop was in Fairview Park, but the opening today of his second Gray House Pies shop on Detroit Road in Westlake is a homecoming of sorts. Schlott got his start baking out of his home on Bassett Road. At first his pies were only for family and friends, but eight years ago his wife Darlene talked him into selling them to other people from the porch. "We had this old farmhouse," Schlott said. "I really didn't expect anyone to stop, but the phones started ringing off the hook. People were saying it was the best pie they ever had."
