Have you ever imagined having a bar management system that automatically takes account for all drinks stored in the cellar, right through to every drink poured behind the bar? Well, with Beverlecs SmartBars this is possible.

Hard to believe I know, but Beverlecs have launched a revolutionary bar management system called SmartBars that can dramatically reduce wastage and losses, improve the efficiency of your bar, and help manage stock using valuable cloud-based data. The automated system accurately accounts for all drinks in the cellar right through to every drink poured - giving you maximum control 24/7.

This sophisticated system has been designed to overcome significant lack of accurate management information and stock security within the licensed trade today, resulting in unrealistically high allowances for stock losses, errors and reduced profitability. We believe SmartBars will tackle these issues by only allowing authorised transactions to take place and therefore increasing the profitability of your business.

So how does it work I hear you asking? Basically, SmartBars use a unique combination of intelligent drink dispensers that cleverly communicate with our autonomous point of sale management system, A.P.O.S. The intelligent dispensing components we produce can easily fit within your existing bar set up. They have been designed to integrate with standard bar dispensing equipment including beer pumps, draught wine and bottles, fridge shelves and spirits. The components pour beverages at selected measures when authorised, using a Smart Key.

A.P.O.S. our cloud-based management system is the first of a new generation of POS systems that digitally identifies every drink poured or bottle served by brand, quantity, price, sales total and server ID. It continually collects data for every single transaction carried out to provide a live and accurate view of how your business is performing. Consequently, making memorised manual input a thing of the past.

Working in a bar that has SmartBars technology will massively improve efficiencies and therefore give bar staff more time to deliver exceptional customer service. They’ll also have peace of mind that all drinks they serve are automatically priced and displayed on the integrated Smart Screen for both them and their customers to see – reducing risk of human error, stock inaccuracies and keeping a log of their personal sales data.

It sounds like it’s going to be a hassle. You may think installing a new system like this is going to be a real upheaval but in fact the system has been designed so it can easily be integrated with your current bar set up. SmartBars are modular in concept and design so bespoke systems can be created specifically to your business needs. If you would like to find out more, visit beverlecs.com or call 0800 689 5061.

At Beverlecs we believe the SmartBars system could help re-energise your business, especially at a time when the pandemic is having a huge impact on the hospitality industry. And like many others, I’m sure you’ll be looking for cost effective ways to continue operating your business to hopefully come out the other side. So whether you run a pub, restaurant, hotel or any hospitality venue, maybe a mobile self-service bar could be a great asset for your business too.

Beverlecs have designed a mobile bar that not only looks good, it also uses the same unique technology designed for SmartBars but with the added benefit of customers and servers being able to serve themselves from both sides of the bar – and it’s cashless.

Again, you can configure this bar to your own requirements depending on whether you’d like it to hold beer only, wine only or all beverages. Or maybe you’d only need to offer the most popular brands – either way, the choice is yours.

Our mobile bars have so many benefits and especially in a time when the hospitality industry is being massively impacted by Corona Virus, we believe a self-service bar could help in many ways:

• Self-service - Authorised customers and staff can serve themselves

• Mobile - Ability to move your bar inside or outside depending on the weather or event

• Cashless transactions – no cash is needed, customers set up an account

• Smart Key– every authroised customer and member of staff will have their own Smart Key to access the bar

• Reduced queuing – no more waiting at the bar to be served for both servers and customers

• Integrated with SmartBars – all transactions are recorded in the cloud-based system
