Game On! Implements New Draft Beer Technology

Syracuse, NY, June 14, 2008 --(PR.com)-- Draft beer is a major revenue producer for a venue like Game On! which is located inside the world renowned Fenway Park in Boston. Draft beer is also, by nature, highly susceptible to wastage and pilferage if there aren’t adequate controls in place. Some estimates put the amount of draft beer lost due to inadequate controls close to 25%. With the restaurant industry already battling with a tough economic environment, some operators are looking to innovative solutions to protect their bottom-line. Game On!, owned by Lyons Group, recently implemented a new draft beer technology that allows their management to remotely monitor draft beer flow and cut down on any losses due to staff negligence or theft. The web-based software technology offered by Syracuse, NY based US Beverage Net is gaining popularity with cost conscious restaurant and bar owners around the country.

Since draft beer is dispensed out of kegs that contain anywhere between 1000 to 2000 ounces of beer, there is lack of visibility between how many ounces are served versus how many ounces are paid for. This lack of visibility typically means a significant amount of product lost due to pilferage or waste. US Beverage Net offers an easy-to-use and cost-effective tool that compares how much draft beer is poured against how much is actually paid for. The company offers its web-based services for a low monthly subscription fee that helps restaurant owners justify the return on investment quite easily.

As a multi-media entertainment destination, Game On! offers sports fans the ultimate experience -- an array of high definition plasma televisions tuned to the day's hottest sporting events, a state-of-the-art sound system, and Wi-Fi internet access. It is no surprise then, that draft beer is one of their top sellers on a typical game day. "The sheer volume of draft beer that Game On! Fenway serves, makes US Beverage Net the perfect fit for their team," says Josh Solomon, Director of Sales for US Beverage Net. “That, combined with Lyons Group's professional management makes US Beverage Net a very valuable tool for the owners.”

In times of soft market conditions when revenues are taking a hit, restaurants are also struggling with rising expenses as food, beverage, and energy costs go up. Cutting costs by streamlining operations seems to be a good tactic to protect the bottom-line without affecting customer experience.
