iPourItPRODUCT SPOTLIGHT
When Nathan Monroe and Robbie Mathisen were creating Pour Bros. Taproom, Peoria Heights, Ill., they were looking for ways to set the place apart from the competition. “We wanted to do something that hadn’t been seen anywhere; we came across iPourIt Self-Serve Beverage Dispense Technology on the internet and fell in love with the idea,” Monroe says. iPourIt allows guests to pour their own beer at the Pour Wall. When a customer enters the place, a staff member swipes their driver’s license, credit card and an iPourIt RFID wristband at the management workstation. The staff member places the wristband on the customer, and the customer’s free to start pouring beer from the wall. Interactive tablets sit above each tap. (Pour Bros. offers a 16-tap system.) The wristband tells the management server which customer is pouring beer and calculates their tab automatically (in 1-oz. increments, so tasting is encouraged). iPourIt often pairs its technology with Micro Matic USA for designing, installing and servicing the beer-dispensing equipment portion of a project. “iPourIt is a traffic driver and it saves labor,” Monroe says. “We have a full-service bar too where we hand-cut fruit every day and fresh squeeze juices. We make our own syrups and bitters. So, this was way to take stress off the bartenders who would otherwise be pouring hundreds of draft beers a night. It was a win-win all the way around.”
