Case Study: Ala Carte Entertainment achieves 13% inventory reduction and full payback in 6 months with BevSpot

Ala Carte Entertainment - Customer Case Study

Ala Carte Entertainment, a 40-year Chicago restaurant group managing a dozen-plus bars, restaurants and nightclubs, needed a more scalable, approachable and cost-effective way to manage beverage programs across all locations. After relying on a third‑party service at a single site, they sought a solution their often not‑tech‑savvy staff could use company‑wide without breaking the budget.

They implemented BevSpot’s web-based platform with hands‑on onboarding and quickly rolled it out group-wide. The result: full payback on the annual investment within six months and a 1.35x ROI, a 13% reduction in sitting inventory, lower liquor costs, weekly inventories, stronger manager accountability and visibility, and the ability to quickly identify theft, purchasing errors and distributor overcharges.
