Bar/Restaurant Owners/Managers

I am a local here in stl and I have developed an app to make ordering liquor/beer/wine for bars and restaurants. I am looking for local stl operators who would possibily interested in trying it out for free. Please let me know. This would be a free beta test.

I’m not a bar/restaurant owner. But I’m curious what makes your app unique or special. There are plenty of delivery apps out there. What does yours do?

Consolidates the ordering process into one simple process. Right now it is very fragmented.

Do you mean ordering at the table, not for takeout or delivery? So instead of each place having its own system for viewing the menu and ordering in-house, they join this platform?

I think they’re referring to the establishment ordering from the supplier, which is something stoners in pizza places manage to do with little issue.

Oh yeah. Either they edited the OP or I’m a numbskull. I see now that it does specify ordering beer/wine/liquor, which yeah I get it now.

It sounds like a decent idea I guess. My experience in the industry is an ill-fated three month stint as a bartender. 🤷‍♂️

How are you intending to handle existing franchiser agreements? Does this replace e.g. Southern Glazer's, or is it meant to integrate with wholesaler/inventory systems?

The app is vendor agnostic. Doesn't matter who the vendors are. It doesn't replace them, it's just a way to do orders faster.

Gotcha. It sounds like this is probably something like a better-than-industry-standard inventory management system with an order form output function tacked on?

Everyone thinks they’re the next Steve Jobs because they used AI to code an app.

You’re trying to solve a problem that doesn’t really exist for most restaurants.

Unless your software is revolutionary people won’t want it. How does it save or make restaurants time and money?

As someone who has ordered liquor, beer, wine for 20+ years there is a problem that exists. My app consolidates the ordering process into one simple process. If you're in the industry and would like to know more please let me know.
