Background: Trapper’s Pizza Pub, a well-loved neighborhood establishment in Syracuse, NY, known for its lively atmosphere and delicious food, faced the common challenges of efficiently managing its alcohol program. With a broad selection of draft and packaged beers, spirits and wines, keeping up with orders, inventory, and sales insights was a time-consuming process. Recognizing the need to streamline operations, Trapper’s turned to BeerBoard’s technology to support their evolving needs.
The Solution: BeerBoard provided Trapper’s with a comprehensive suite of tools to drive efficiency, including SmartOrders for ordering, advanced inventory tracking, and Invoice Capture. With these features, Trapper’s was able to automate and enhance critical aspects of its alcohol management program, gaining both time and insightful data.
Here’s how BeerBoard is transforming Trapper’s operations:
- Operational Efficiency and Ordering Precision:
Previously, ordering was a time-intensive process dependent on distributor rep availability, often taking over 30 minutes per week. Now, with BeerBoard’s SmartOrders, Trapper’s can place three to four orders within five minutes. In addition to saving time, this system has provided Trapper’s with highly accurate inventory tracking, eliminating the need for frequent physical checks and preventing over-ordering. BeerBoard’s system helps ensure that Trapper’s orders just the right amount—especially important for slow-moving “third-tier” products—leading to a more optimized, on-point inventory. - Valuable Sales Insights and Inventory Control:
BeerBoard’s advanced Insights empower the Trapper’s team to make data-driven decisions, especially when it comes to tracking top sellers and slow-moving SKUs. The system’s yield tracker and performance analytics help identify areas for improvement, allowing Trapper’s to strategically consider removing less popular SKUs. This information ensures that Trapper’s is not only meeting customer demand but also maintaining a profitable inventory mix. - Streamlined Invoice Management:
With BeerBoard’s Invoice Capture, Trapper’s easily enters distributor invoices directly into their back-office management system. This technology eliminates manual data entry and ensures that every invoice, whether for draft, packaged, liquor, or wine, is seamlessly recorded. The result? A clear, organized system that saves time and reduces the risk of errors.
The Results: Since implementing BeerBoard’s solutions, Trapper’s Pizza Pub has experienced a significant transformation in its operational efficiency. By cutting down ordering time, streamlining invoice management, and gaining access to invaluable sales insights, Trapper’s has maximized productivity and profitability. BeerBoard’s technology has enabled Trapper’s to focus more on what matters most — the customer experience — while ensuring they’re operating at peak efficiency.
With BeerBoard as their trusted technology partner, Trapper’s Pizza Pub has set a strong foundation for continued success, enhanced customer satisfaction, and growth in the competitive food and beverage industry.
