The Jeep® Brand Announces Unprecedented Overlanding Trailer Co-Launch With ADDAX Overland™
Jeep Branded\u00ae Edition Overland Trailer by ADDAX\u2122
The Jeep Branded Edition Overland Trailer by ADDAX sets up camp in the Uintas.
The Jeep® brand and ADDAX OverlandTM are proud to launch the Jeep Branded Edition by ADDAX Overland Trailer.
Inspired by the U.S. military's all-but-indestructible surveillance trailers, and engineered by the team that set a world land speed record at the Bonneville Salt Flats, the Jeep Branded Edition has set the new benchmark for off-road overlanding performance, capability and comfort.
Boasting an unprecedented dry weight of just 850 pounds, Jeep adventure seekers can now tow a 1,200 pound payload up previously unfathomable terrain—all without compromising a Jeep brand vehicle's signature stability and efficiency. The Jeep Branded Edition's high-strength, lightweight engineering makes it the perfect companion for technical rock climbers and beginner off-roaders alike. And thanks to the Jeep Branded Edition's foldable tongue and compact 5-foot-by-6 foot dimensions, even those adventurers with limited garage space can always be ready to get off the grid.
The Jeep Branded Edition's independent torsion axle trailer suspension system provides an aggressive 17 inches of ground clearance for maximum maneuverability, control and comfort. And the 3/16 inch military-grade steel chassis and 14-gauge steel body are seamlessly bent instead of welded to deliver industry-leading durability. The Jeep Branded Edition comes standard with a robust 35 cubic feet of storage; four 8,000 pound stabilizing corner jacks; a foldable tongue; an articulating hitch; a rear receiver hitch and a heavy-duty, custom rack for endless mounting possibilities.
"We are proud to have earned the Jeep brand's trust by creating a trailer that can conquer any terrain" says ADDAX CEO Kirk Jowers. "We are excited to continue to engage with Jeep in engineering the most innovative and comprehensive line of overlanding products for the Jeep brand's loyal community."
"Together with the team at ADDAX, we are excited to announce the co-launch of the most cutting-edge overland trailer on the planet," said Jim Morrison, senior vice president and head of Jeep Brand North America. "The Jeep Branded Edition by ADDAX can truly follow a Jeep Trail-Rated® vehicle anywhere and demonstrates the Jeep Brand's commitment to empowering our community with the gold standard in overlanding performance. Thanks to the Jeep Branded Edition, adventurers can now enjoy the most beautiful and remote places on Earth even longer."
Off-roading enthusiasts and Jeep brand loyalists will be able to secure a sneak peek of the Jeep Branded Edition by ADDAX at SEMA's New Product Showcase, Overlanding Exhibit and Booth 60119 during Nov. 1-4, 2022.

Gourdough’s Public House Blowout Goodbye Party
After 10 years serving the Austin community with unique donuts and cocktails, local landmark Gourdough's Public House, will be closing their brick and mortar location on South Lamar at the end of this week and concluding foodservice this Sunday Night, Nov. 6, 2022, with a final goodbye party. They hope everyone will join them this weekend for some incredible food, drink specials, and fond memories.
Business partners Paula Samford and Ryan Palmer said that many factors went into deciding to close the restaurant. Ryan Palmer said, "It's a bittersweet decision but with an upcoming residential project being built in the near future at the location, coupled with two years of extreme labor shortages, inflation, increased food cost and the desire to pursue other opportunities, we felt like it was the right time to conclude business after 10 happy years of food service."
Gourdough's will continue serving up their delicious donut concoctions at their original food trailer located at 1503 South 1st St., as well as opening new food trailer locations and continuing to expand their catering program.
Paula Samford said, "We have decided to go back to our food trailer roots and focus on festivals, catering events, and opening new food trailers in the outer edges of Austin to better serve the growing Austin community as a whole."
Starting this Friday through Sunday, the entire Gourdough's Public House staff would like to invite local fans to celebrate 10 incredible years of service with them, which will include: all-day brunch, spectacular food specials and cocktail specials like $5 you-call-it drinks & $2 draft beers.

Wrkspot Offers Solutions to Hotels’ Post-COVID-19 Challenges
Guests are returning to hotels as the COVID-19 pandemic wanes. However, hotels still face labor shortages, meaning many hotels are overwhelmed with tasks and guest requests. Wrkspot provides a solution that solves that problem for hotels of all sizes.
Wrkspot is the developer of a software solution to help streamline hotel operations and resolve labor challenges, replacing clipboards, walkie-talkies and spreadsheets with a single digital tool that combines human resources information systems (HRIS) and operations management.
Last week, hospitality data analysts STR reported that demand for hotel rooms in September 2022 was just 6% less than pre-pandemic levels, making it the fifth consecutive month of global demand at more than 90% of pre-pandemic levels.
Meanwhile, a survey this summer by the American Hotel & Lodging Association found that nearly all (97%) of respondents were experiencing staffing shortages, while almost half (49%) experienced severe staffing shortages. And Bloomberg reported in July that more than half of hospitality workers will not go back to their former jobs.
That combination indicates that hotels need a way to work more efficiently, said Raja Epsilon, founder and CEO of WrkSpot. "WrkSpot gives hoteliers the ability to do more with less - fewer people, which is a big concern in this labor market, as well as less time and fewer tools. Running all of your operations on one platform means that your data is connected, communication is faster & easier, and you don't spend time translating information from one system to another - no double or even triple-work."
Even today, Epsilon said, hotels are run largely on paper and pencil and by people who are walking the property or using walkie-talkies. That makes for an inefficient process that is vulnerable to errors and duplication of effort.
"Say a housekeeper goes home sick or doesn't show up at all. Now those rooms have to be reassigned," Epsilon said. "That means someone has to go out and walk the halls to find housekeepers who are already at work and give them additional rooms. That someone is then not able to focus on the job they're supposed to be doing, and there are the endless distractions that become possible as soon as you stop focusing on your task."
Walkie-talkies provide immediate communication, but without privacy, and without the precision of written communication, which leads to mistakes. "All of that means a room may not be cleaned or towels may be delivered to room 214, instead of 241," Epsilon said. "Those aren't tragedies, but the cost adds up."
A digital solution also generates and stores operational data instantly, instead of by requiring input from paper records. That provides hotel managers with access to information they can use to be smarter about how they run their business, he explained.
WrkSpot also streamlines hotel operations by putting all of the back-of-the-house operations systems in a single tool, adding value by combining different elements of the management system. That means staff do not need to train on and juggle multiple systems, transferring information from one tool to another.
"For example, when someone's information goes into WrkSpot during the hiring and onboarding process, it's attached to that person when the general manager is building schedules," Epsilon said. "That means all of the required information is there to create a payroll file. That same person also uploads their completed paperwork to their record and gets training assignments, including videos from a library the hotel creates, all in WrkSpot."
Wrkspot customers also can take advantage of integrations like the new Choice PMS and HotelKey PMS integrations that improve the pace of housekeeping assignments and adjust in real-time as guests check out. It also has deep functionality, such as automated communication that alerts managers when an employee is about to move into overtime, and chat that translates between languages, so there is no delay or confusion between employees who speak different languages.
Together, Wrkspot adds up to cost savings at a time when hotels face thinner margins, as business rebounds and overtime costs may spike. Epsilon said that Wrkspot users report time saved in communication and in scheduling people down for routine tasks, as well as in more efficient scheduling of housekeeping and maintenance requests, and tracking which rooms have already been serviced. Managers also have more visibility into scheduling and clock-in/out, ensuring scheduling matches budget.
"We also see much faster guest request response, because everyone can see that a request is being taken care of and who it's assigned to, so you don't have multiple people on the same request and the person closest to that guest can take care of the problem quickly," Epsilon said. "That means better guest satisfaction, which leads to better reviews, which leads to higher bookings."
Wrkspot also assists managers with hotel portfolio management, enabling them to see both individual hotels as well as patterns across properties. "If you are examining employee attrition rates, you can look at trends by department and other criteria, then dig into individual hotels to see if the problem is driven by one or two properties or is a portfolio-wide trend," Epsilon said. "Seeing that kind of pattern without juggling spreadsheets and files is worth a lot."
WrkSpot goes beyond problem-specific solutions to handle the entirety of hotel operations, including labor management, in one integrated solution. It also provides a training platform and document management system, both of which are integral to digital transformation for hotels. "I think of it as helping hoteliers solve problems they don't yet know that they have," Epsilon said.
