Restaurant Best Practices for Alcohol Delivery and Receiving

Alcohol delivery and receiving are important for the industries in which a large portion of revenues comes from alcohol sales. Within these industries, such as restaurants, finding more affordable, faster and efficient services for alcohol can become one of the most important aspects of the  business. By using these four practices that successful restaurants have in common, your involvement can become one of the most improved parts of the day-to-day operations.

Faster Delivery Times

Through automatic ordering, businesses are able to have faster delivery times without having to remember to order their usual shipments. These deliveries would be automated from the alcohol warehouse directly to the company. This can then give way to an easier payment solution through an online method of direct deposit, or easy card pay without having to authorize payments every time a shipment is required by the company.

If the restaurant is new to the alcohol warehouse, ID verification, as well as verification of the business for selling alcohol is essential.

There can be downfalls. While every restaurant wants faster delivery times, alcohol may have minor setbacks that make it a longer process. If the restaurant is new to the alcohol warehouse, ID verification, as well as verification of the business for selling alcohol is essential. These are two very important documents that have to be thoroughly checked in order for the warehouse to distribute the alcohol to the company. However, after the initial check of these documents, then the transition and delivery and receiving process should go much smoother.

Minimal Hassle

Have minimal hassle when ordering and receiving the correct order that was placed with the company. With the latest in technology advancements, the alcohol delivery and receiving process can go much smoother, while also helping both companies have an easier time communicating with one another.

When a regular schedule is established, so can automatic shipments, payments and inventory tracking be established by both companies.

No longer will the need to call, place the order, authorize the order and payment, have delivery, sign for receiving, and putting away be necessary. This can all be done automatically, with minimal hassle through the use of a program that inputs the amounts of alcohol that you currently have left, and then determines when you may need more.

Easier Payment Solutions

Through the use of easier payment solutions, the correct amount that is charged for the alcohol shipments can easily be paid. This is a way to automatically pay for shipments that are being sent to your restaurant. However, having a schedule and relationship established should be done first prior to authorizing automatic payments for each of the shipments every month. Once this relationship is established, however, it can then become much more efficient not only for the restaurant ordering and paying for the alcohol, but also for the warehouse that is fulfilling the order.

Inventory Tracking

The ability to track the current inventory of the alcohol that is on hand can provide a much more efficient way for restaurant owners to know when they are getting low. This, then, prompts them to notify the appropriate companies for the next shipment. Which leads them to use the first point, allowing for faster delivery times through automatic shipments.

Having the inventory tracked through an app or other means can allow the restaurant to run more effectively without having to write the amounts down and keep track of shipments.

If restaurants used technology that was able to provide these four points, and connected with their alcohol shipment companies easier; they could all benefit. The process of ordering, delivery, and receiving alcohol would be more efficient, more effective and provide numerous benefits to those using the service. This can greatly benefit both the restaurant that is ordering the alcohol and the warehouses that are meeting the shipments for them.
