What is Stanley Beer Hall?
CHALLENGE
Jim was presented with a challenge when he realized that not every guest wants a glass of wine or a pint of beer. He knew he had to provide something for everyone as the market around Stanley Beer Hall consists majorly of families. To meet the needs of his customers, Jim knew he had to make some changes to bring more traffic through their doors and increase their sales.
RESULTS
Of their 37 self-pour taps, Jim decided he needed to have two taps that only served cocktails. Since Jim was a bartender back in the day, he had a few recipes in his head. However, he knew he had to be careful with the flow meters in his self-pour system since no particles can flow through the lines – all cocktails must be filtered to remove pulp. Keeping this in mind, Jim tested out his classic margarita one day, and that’s when he realized he had his new bestseller. Averaging about one keg of margaritas a day, Stanley Beer Hall makes a whopping $250,000 from this ONE tap per year! Guests love that their cocktails are full-strength and that all of Stanley Beer Hall’s cocktails are made in-house. With the success of the self-pour margarita, Stanley Beer Hall made the decision to add a third self-pour tap for their house-made Bourbon Ginger-Cider!
