PourMyBeer, a global market leader in providing self-pour technology to bars and restaurants, has partnered with Dave & Buster’s to test the concept in their San Diego location.
The PourMyBeer system will allow guests to try several types of beverages and charge by ounces poured. One of the biggest benefits to customers using PourMyBeer’s technology is that it significantly lowers wait times.
However, more than that, it’s also a lot of fun. Dave & Buster’s will be offering a selection of 30 beers, including high-quality craft brews, that rotate based on seasonality and demand.
PourMyBeer’s self-pour technology brings some great benefits to customers of D&B, who are able to enjoy a more convenient and fun drink experience with their new self-pour beverage wall:
- More Convenient: Customers at D&B will no longer have to wait to be served by a bartender or waiter; instead, they become their own servers and pour drinks whenever they want to.
- Cost Efficiency: The pay-by-ounce model allows customers to drink by less than an entire glass at a time; this means that they are able to try small amounts of various beers without having to commit to an entire glass if they don’t like it.
- Sampling is Easy: Another benefit of the pay-by-ounce model is that it is easy for D&B customers to taste as many samples as they want in small quantities, taking only an ounce or two to taste. This allows the guests to try several different drinks without needing to pay for a full glass.
- Fun: More than anything else, self-pour represents an innovative and fun take on the drink experience. The concept is purposefully interactive, and it also encourages more communication between patrons. As often seen at other PourMyBeer locations, customers can discuss their favorite drinks with each other and post pictures on their social media, adding fun and social element to the whole experience.
And as for Dave & Buster’s operations, PourMybeer rapidly increases their beverage serving efficiency and brings several other benefits such as:
- Service Efficiency: Self-pour ensures that everyone is served their drinks precisely when they want them, so no one is left waiting for a drink. Plus, Dave & Buster’s staff is able to focus on keeping the venue running smoothly and making customers feel welcome.
- Waste Reduction:. Restaurants and bars lose a good portion of their inventory to waste, but with self-pour, free samples and human error are almost completely eliminated bringing the product waste to as little as 1% percent.
- Easier Inventory: Storing kegs makes inventory more efficient and less environmentally harmful. Dave & Buster’s staff does not need to clear up tens or even hundreds of bottles at the end of the night, and their inventory consists of only a few kegs at a time.
Dave & Buster’s cares for its community above anything else, and wanted to give the beer lovers in San Diego the unique opportunity to try many local crafts under one roof.
That’s why they went with PourMyBeer. The CEO and founder of PourMyBeer, Josh Goodman, says: “The great thing about working with a company like Dave & Buster’s is they do their homework before choosing a partner. It validates what we preach; we genuinely care about all of our customers and strive to deliver the best that the self-pour market has to offer.”
The grand opening of the first Dave & Buster’s location in San Diego with a PourMyBeer tap wall took place on March 6, 2020.
