Success Story: Schloss Elmau - Efficiency and enjoyment at the bar with BarBrain
Tradition meets modern hospitality at the renowned Schloss Elmau, a world-renowned luxury resort. Kevin, the hotel's bar manager, is responsible for managing two bars - one directly in the castle and the other in the neighboring retreat. The challenge? Combining the guests' high standards of quality and service with a seamless inventory process.
"We have two bars here - one in the castle and one in the retreat. With the volume we have to manage here, we used to spend six to eight hours on inventory. That was cruel - nobody liked doing it," explains Kevin.
The problem was that the inventory process was extremely time-consuming and frustrating. With the large variety of beverages and the complexity of the stock in the bars, the inventory process became an unloved routine.
The introduction of BarBrain, the smart inventory app for the catering industry, has changed everything for Kevin and his team. Thanks to the app, the entire process is not only faster, but also much more motivating for the employees.
"Now we can do the whole thing in two to three hours, and that's the beauty of it. This app is brilliant because it motivates the employees to do the inventory again," says Kevin enthusiastically.
BarBrain enables the team to record stock levels in real time and with just a few clicks. This means no more time-consuming manual counting and note-taking. The intuitive user interface and the simple slider used to record the fill level of the bottles make the entire process efficient and traceable.
By using BarBrain, the inventory time in the bars at Schloss Elmau has been drastically reduced - from up to eight hours to just two to three hours. This not only means more time for the essentials, but also less stress for the team.
"The app has really changed everything. What used to be a chore is now actually fun. That's important in everyday working life, because if you're constantly annoyed about your work, you get frustrated in the long run," says Kevin.
BarBrain has not only revolutionized the inventory process, it has also improved employee morale. The app takes the frustration and boredom out of stocktaking for employees and creates space for more creativity and enjoyment at work.
For Schloss Elmau and Kevin as bar manager, BarBrain means more than just an efficient inventory tool. It means improving the quality of the working environment and continuing to offer guests the first-class service they expect.
"BarBrain has helped us to take the inventory process to a new level. It saves us time, motivates our team and allows us to focus on what really matters: giving our guests a great time."
