Profit Control and Revenue Enhancement Service to Audit 15 AEG Venues in the U.S.
BEVINCO’s relationship with AEG began approximately two years ago through Jeff Layton, the company’s franchisee servicing Central New Jersey. When Layton’s longtime client – the Starland Ballroom in Sayreville, New Jersey – was acquired by AEG, managers of other AEG venues contacted Starland to inquire about BEVINCO. Given BEVINCO’s positive impact on Starland over the previous four years, the NOKIA Theatre Times Square brought BEVINCO (bevinco.com) aboard to address its inventory control needs. Management was so impressed that BEVINCO was invited to submit a proposal to service 15 AEG venues worldwide and though the competition was steep – nearly 20 companies bid on the project – BEVINCO prevailed and has already begun servicing venues in Los Angeles, Seattle, Denver, Kansas City, Philadelphia and Dallas. BEVINCO franchisees in each market will perform the actual venue audits and provide weekly reports to management but Layton will serve as the account manager and direct liaison between BEVINCO and AEG, presenting consolidated reports and venue comparisons to AEG on a monthly basis.
“In my eight years as a BEVINCO owner, I’ve helped countless bars and restaurants with their inventory control needs but being able to do so for an organization like AEG is my biggest accomplishment to date. As a former bartender and CPA, I know how this industry works from all angles and can lend that expertise to any client I work with,” said Layton, 39. “Inventory can be impacted by many factors – overpouring, complimentary drinks and even employee theft – but BEVINCO can pinpoint where the losses stem from and the steps necessary to correct the problem. Though I won’t be auditing each location myself, the BEVINCO operations in each market will provide the same attention to detail and commitment to high-quality service the company is known for.”
Vanessa De Caria, BEVINCO’s vice president of operations, concurs. “This is outstanding for the brand because AEG is such a highly-regarded and world-renowned entertainment provider. This proves once again the global scope of BEVINCO’s services. AEG’s facilities have myriad nuances but BEVINCO (bevinco.com) is well-equipped to adapt to the uniqueness of each venue while reducing inventory loss and increasing efficiency at each point of sale,” said De Caria. “Jeff’s hard work and commitment to excellence made this partnership with AEG possible. AEG knows this is the type of service and above-and-beyond attitude consistent across all BEVINCO operations. The entire BEVINCO team looks forward to sharing our strategies for inventory control measures with AEG – and hope this leads to a long and successful partnership.”
