MEET THE DEALERS

Cyd from Beverage Systems, Inc.

This week on our Meet the Dealers series, we are featuring Cyd from Beverage Systems Inc. This is what Cyd had to say about their experience as an Easybar dealer:

Questions

1. How long have you been an Easybar dealer?
   I have been working with Easybar for over 30 years
   
2. What cities/areas do you provide service in?
   My area is basically Utah, I have done some work for Easybar in the Intermountain area.
3. Why this business/industry/sector?
   The State of Utah mandated a one ounce pour, controlled within two milliliters in 1987 at all drinking establishments in the state.
4. How did you get started with Easybar? Why did you choose us and why do you consider us a good fit?
   Easybar was one of five liquor systems that the state approved.  The company I worked for sold about 25% of the clubs in the state.  Initially I was to be one of three techs installing and servicing equipment.  Because of some medical situations and timing I ended up the only trained technician in the state.  That company went out of business and suddenly I had 60 accounts to take care of.
   
5. How has being an Easybar dealer affected your business?
   The State restricts the number of liquor licenses based on population. After the first year, liquor system sales were no longer a growth industry. State laws have changed to the point that accuracy isn’t a requirement, but accountability still is. I am able to sell a system every couple years.
   
6. What sort of support has Easybar provided for you – Did they provide training? Did you attend the Easybar Liquor Dispensing School? If yes, how was your experience?
   Easybar sent Kirby Katz and Bob Hill down to install the first few systems, and I have been on my own since then. Easybar has been tremendously helpful in support, both technical and sales. As my experience has grown I find I’m less reliant on tech support from Oregon, but have always found Sarah and those around her along with Alison very helpful.
