I'd love to hear more about this. I've thought a lot about this space, given that the business side is what seems to trip a lot of these enterprises up. And the business is connected with trends, COGS, seasonality, etc., the same as others in the space. There just aren't targeted ways of tracking/measuring these specific to the beer industry.

The software isn't the issue. A lot of bars and restaurants go broke within the first year, and lack of financial literacy is a big part of that, but you're not going to fix financial literacy with a bunch of software and a dashboard or two. Ditto for breweries and practically any other type of business started by people with passion but no business sense.

In the SLC area, but if I get up that way I'll take you up on that.
