Liquor Inventory Sweepstakes

Thursday, August 9, 2007

RFID, LTD. announced today an offer to implement its $10,000 Beverage Tracker Liquor Shrinkage Solution to one lucky bar or restaurant for free.

Other bars or restaurants who apply by the deadline of August 31 and do not win the free Beverage Tracker solution will receive a 20 percent discount on a Beverage Tracker implementation.

The winner will receive a Gateway or Dell laptop with the Microsoft operating system, Capton Beverage Tracker Software, and RFID equipment to monitor the “pours” of their ten (10) most valuable bottles of liquor.

Beverage Tracker solution takes advantage of RFID technology and embeds microchips into liquor pour spouts.

Via this technology, managers can monitor exactly what is being poured, spot unacceptable pouring behavior and produce reports which show what specific pours occurred outside of standard or without a corresponding Point of Sale (POS) button push. [end]
