Deadline Hollywood: A&E Greenlights Reality Series ‘D.O.A.’ From Dick Wolf
A&E Networks has given the green light to unscripted series D.O.A. (working title) from Law & Order Executive Producer Dick Wolf and Left/Right Productions.

Location Scout New York City area for a commercial spot for ShopKeep (NYC)
In 2004, Jason Richelson opened a wine store in Brooklyn, New York. Over the next few years, one store grew into four as he added a second location, a grocery store and a coffee shop, and keeping track of a seven million dollar business, 70 employees, sales and inventory became increasingly important and more complicated.
At the time, Jason used a traditional Windows-based point of sale system from a large software company and regularly experienced a considerable amount of technological problems. In 2008 while on vacation, the stores’ server crashed and Jason had to essentially close all of the stores indefinitely. As soon as he returned home, Jason tried to find a cloud-based point of sale system but he couldn’t find anything. ShopKeep was born that day…
