[Ambler, Pa., Nov. 5, 2024] — PourMyBeer, the industry leader in the self-pour beverage technology space, is thrilled to be featured in, “Drafting a Dream” by John Felico, owner of Auggie’s Draft Room, a popular sports bar and grill in St. Augustine, FL. Felico’s book chronicles his journey in the food and beverage industry, spotlighting PourMyBeer as a key partner in his success.
In his book, Felico shares his entrepreneurial path to opening Auggie’s Draft Room, emphasizing the transformative role PourMyBeer’s system has played in the growth and operational efficiency of his business. After years of research, traveling to various locations, and evaluating multiple self-pour solutions, Felico chose PourMyBeer for its advanced technology, reliability, and unmatched customer support. Seven years later, he continues to attribute much of his success to PourMyBeer’s innovative system.
“The self-pour industry was still in its infancy when I started my journey in 2018,” says Felico. “I spent thousands of dollars and hundreds of hours researching the best self-pour system for my business. PourMyBeer stood out then, and after seven years, I still stand by my decision.”
In his book, Felico dives deeper into why self-pour technology is a game-changer for the food and beverage industry. Self-pour not only enhances customer experience by giving guests control over their beverage choices but also helps operators cut labor costs, streamline service, and minimize waste. Felico explains that self-pour technology “flips the script” on many of the industry’s challenges, offering a dynamic solution for the modern hospitality landscape.
PourMyBeer is praised for its advanced technology, which provides precise pour control, seamless POS integration, and real-time data tracking. These features enable operators to optimize efficiency, reduce theft, and create a unique guest experience.
“Having the PourMyBeer wall at Auggie’s Draft Room generated $350,000 in beer sales alone last year,” Felico says, illustrating how self-pour technology can be a major revenue driver.
Felico also credits PourMyBeer’s consistent leadership under Founder and CEO Josh Goodman for the company’s long-standing industry dominance. “Josh has been steering the ship since day one, and his commitment to innovation ensures that PourMyBeer remains the industry leader,” Felico says.
