Synexis has become a part of our standard restaurant protocol. We plan to open 10 restaurants a year for the next 10 years and we have spent the last 7 years streamlining that process. Despite or maybe because of the challenges the last few years, we have really refined that process and honed it in, perfecting layouts, equipment, build out and how it all integrates. Synexis is a definitive part of that future program. We are particular about the equipment we spec for our restaurants and these items and brands are at the core of every new project. Synexis is just part of that standard plan.

We installed the DHP units on July 7, 2025, to aid in mold prevention. Since that time, we have observed a decrease in the recurrence of mold growth. The units operate silently and, apart from scheduled filter changes, have been maintenance free. These units are a great environmental defense that works well with our overall hygiene program. I am very pleased with the effectiveness of these units.

One of the things I immediately started seeing within I guess a couple weeks after the Synexis system was installed was the smell of the restaurant was better, the cleanliness of the restaurant was better, and mold and mildew were reduced significantly over time. Then over a period of a couple of months, we started seeing that we had fewer call outs.

Synexis has helped our closed air loop facility achieve an acceptable level of powdery mildew expression on our commercial lettuce production (little to no visible evidence of powdery mildew in the harvested crop). We have also used Synexis technology in our cannabis R&D facility. Besides keeping our product free of mold and mildew, the Synexis devices showed a 100x reduction in VOCs within the room. These measurements were taken for 90 days with multiple plants in flower to demonstrate the effectiveness of Synexis devices to reduce odor — what a great side-effect to an already incredible mildew reduction technology.

I knew we had to do something for our employees and customers to show that we care about them. We’re not just thinking about today. We’re thinking about 10 to 20 years down the road and we came to the conclusion that we have to do this. We’re continually impressed with the Synexis team and the rave reviews from clients.
