Case Study: City Beer Store saves hours on inventory and streamlines bar operations with Revel Systems

Save Time at the Bar with Inventory Management

City Beer Store in San Francisco, run by Craig Wathen, is a hybrid taproom and retail shop with hundreds of beer labels sold on tap and by the bottle. Managing a complex product mix, frequent purchase orders, and both barcode-based retail items and beverage workflows made inventory tracking time-consuming and difficult with simpler POS solutions.

They implemented Revel POS to handle barcode items and food/beverage workflows, giving Craig mobile access to sales data, inventory management, and product-mix reports. Revel streamlined weekly ordering and stock decisions, saved staff hours on inventory tasks, and kept the store better stocked with trending beers, improving day‑to‑day operations.
