Case Study: Brooklyn Bell’s The Local achieves granular sales tracking and a flexible, affordable POS with ShopKeep

Artisanal Ice Cream Maker Upgrades From Square For First Brick and Mortar Store

Brooklyn Bell’s The Local, an artisanal ice cream shop founded by Ron and Kati Cunningham, grew out of a gourmet foods business and opened a brick-and-mortar in Crown Heights. After using Square for event sales, Ron needed a more evolved, fully featured POS that could track detailed sales metrics—sizes, flavors and toppings—to support smarter, data‑driven decisions without the cost or complexity of a proprietary system.

They adopted ShopKeep’s iPad-based POS for an affordable, intuitive solution that delivers granular reporting and simple inventory control. ShopKeep lets them break down sales by scoops, flavors and toppings, instantly update seasonal items and change the register layout from any computer, giving the owners greater flexibility, control and actionable data to optimize their offerings while keeping costs low.
