"As we've been getting ready to open at least 10 people walked by the window every day saying they're from the Boston area and asking when we'd be open," Desousa said.... | |

| | | Invention keeps tabs on taps | | Posted Tuesday, October 31, 2006 3:14:43 AM by Blog57 Team | | The first thing restaurant and bar owners say when they see Mark Young's product is, "Why didn't I think of that?" Young, the CEO of US Beverage Net Inc., created a service that tracks in real time how much beer or soda is poured from a tap. At the same time, it keeps count of how much money is collected. The service, by making bartenders accountable during their shifts, decreases a bar's or restaurant's loss from 30 percent to about 5 percent, Young said. "It's been a problem in the hospitality industry since draft beer started being poured hundreds of years ago," Young said. Restaurant managers using the service can easily see if a bartender spills frequently or gives away drinks, he said. "Some bar owners might have a policy that they allow comps, which is fine, but what they do is they want to monitor and make sure there's no product given away that wasn't authorized," Young said.... | |
