For Bradley Brock, General Manager of Screaming Goat Yard & Tap, beer isn’t just a beverage, it’s the heartbeat of their concept.
“We’re a taproom at our core. It’s what we were built on,” Bradley explains. “So we take a lot of pride in our draft program. That means quality, pure and simple.”
With 30 taps and a constantly rotating selection of seasonal and craft brews, quality control is paramount. And for Bradley, BarTrack has become an indispensable part of keeping that standard high, not just as a tool, but as a philosophy.
“BarTrack helps us uphold the integrity of every pour. The ability to monitor keg and in-line temperature and pressure—those beer-specific variables—makes a huge difference in preserving carbonation and ensuring the guest gets exactly what the brewer intended.”
A Diagnostic and Management Tool in One
Bradley calls BarTrack both a diagnostic tool and a management tool, giving his team real-time visibility into pour behavior, draft line conditions, and system anomalies.
“It’s more than just monitoring. The reports give us a deep understanding of where we’re saving and where we’re losing. It’s about margins, yes—but it’s also about accountability.”
He’s made it a point to train his staff personally, empowering bartenders to not only use the system effectively but to take ownership of the results.
“Now they’re self-sufficient. They know how to use the data. And with BarTrack, they’ve got skin in the game. That changes everything. It shifts the focus toward quality and presentation every single shift.”
Streamlined Operations, Tangible Profit
Bradley highlights several of BarTrack’s strengths, including inventory management, actionable reporting, and a user-friendly interface that doesn’t require hours of training.
“The app’s super intuitive. The UX is clean. For managers like me, the reporting is everything. It shows us the savings, the profit lift, and lets us optimize on the fly.”
Spreading the Gospel of Great Beer
Beyond his own staff, Bradley has become an advocate for BarTrack across the industry.
“I’ve told a lot of other GMs about it. When you’ve got something that improves your bottom line and your guest experience, why wouldn’t you spread the word?”
He’s also quick to praise the team behind the tech.
“The customer service is next-level and has been incredible. That support makes all the difference when you’re managing a fast-paced operation.”
Screaming Goat Yard & Tap is more than a bar with good beer—it's living proof that hospitality teams armed with the right data, the right tools, and the right mindset can elevate the guest experience and profitability, pint by pint.
Bradley encourages those in the area to come check out their venue and while they’re at it to try the summer shandy style beer, by Shiner, his personal favorite!
