Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Queen's Head, a bustling pub in Canterbury, was struggling with inconsistent spirit pours from a mismatched collection of old measures. This was leading to customer complaints and, more importantly, noticeable stock discrepancies at the end of each week.
"We switched our entire back bar to Beaumont's stainless steel measures. The difference was immediate. The staff feel more professional, the pours are spot on, and our customers get the perfect drink every time. It just tidies up the whole operation."
Robert Finch – General Manager
After implementing the new measures, the pub reported a significant drop in spirit wastage, improving their gross profit on spirits by nearly 5%.
