Patch: Tell us about your business.
Maria Benti: Our office space on demand provides a safe, clean, private work space so versatile that it can accommodate all your personal or business needs. All Pods have a full-access computer that is pre-loaded with the complete Microsoft Office Suite and Adobe, all on a secure connection. Upon reboot, the computer will reset to factory default Office, giving you anonymous internet access and PC usage! All Pods also have a remote control for instant privacy, turning the glass walls completely private, while offering free high speed internet access, video conferencing, and the ability to print, scan, fax and copy!

Patch: How long have you been doing business in town?
Benti: Almost two years.
Patch: What attracted you to the line of work you’re in, and how did you get started?
Benti: We realized that in this new remote-work climate, there needed to be a place where people could still meet their clients and work remotely. This is the perfect solution for tutors to meet with students, instructors to meet for lessons in person, meet a prospective client, or just a quiet, clean, fully functional work space, which could also provide a physical address!
Patch: If you had to sum up your business mission to a stranger in five words, what would those words be?
Benti: Secure office space on demand.
Patch: What’s the most satisfying part of your job?
Benti: Knowing that we are giving the community a technologically advanced option to work in a local, safe, clean, hi-tech environment that is contributing in helping to keep businesses grow!
Patch: How would you say your business or organization distinguishes itself from the others?
Benti: Our Trademarked business has no competitor! No other facility offers individual Pods with instant office accommodations whenever you need it!
Patch: What’s the best piece of advice you’ve ever been given when it comes to success?
Benti: Never settle! Regardless of how successful we are, there is always a higher standard that we strive for, achieved by listening to our customer's feedback. "You learn something new every day!"
Patch: Are there any new projects or endeavors you’re working on that you’re extra excited about?
Benti: Our Pods are also available for purchase! You can have a private Pod in your own home or office! We are always working to make improvements to ensure the PodStop experience is one of a kind!
