Exciting News!

​
Freepour by Garde

​
ICYMI, we welcomed Freepour to the Garde family. We’re very excited about the game-changing impact it has on bar inventory. With down to the milliliter accuracy, our 2-in-1 scan and scale can weigh 20 bottles in just a single minute. Data flows into Garde so you can cut down on data entry and get a complete picture of your food and liquor costs.

Multi-unit view for the Controllable P &L

​
Easily compare P&L data across all your locations, so you can make important decisions in the moment. You can now view one, two, or all of your locations side-by-side on a single screen to quickly assess your company’s financial performance.

Export your data for third-party analysis with our Public API 📈

The Public API allows you to export some purchase data from Garde into external analytics tools — either solutions you’ve developed or ones provided by third-party software (like Opsi).

​
Note : To access the exporting functionality, you (or your software provider) have to build an integration with our API.

API integration with Arryved 🍻

​
This integration really puts a hop in our step! We’ve teamed up with Arryved, the brewery, bar-specific POS system, to ensure a smooth flow of sales entries and PMIX data from Arryved into Garde. If Arryved is your point of sale system, sip back and know you’re in good hands.

What’s new with Garde

​
**High-fives for All Hands Live!

** Last month, our 219-person team traveled to our HQ in Ballston, VA for our annual All Hands Live. The event started with an awesome panel discussion with Jordan Boesch, CEO of 7Shifts. Then we continued the week with leadership-led breakout sessions, delicious food from many of our amazing clients, and invaluable bonding time with our Gardeople. We ended the week with a celebratory dinner (shout out to the amazing team at Blackwall Hitch!) and award ceremony followed by dancing the night away (aka 10 pm)!

​
**What happens in Vegas, doesn’t always stay in Vegas
** We packed up our suitcases and new beverage management scales last week and headed to Sin City for the Bar and Restaurant Expo 2024. We debuted Freepour by Garde, met many amazing attendees from all different parts of the restaurant industry, and learned from passionate and insightful industry leaders. I’d take that bet any day! Out and about
Heading to the Craft Brewers Conference & Beer Expo America? Find us in Booth #2430 April 22-24!

​
**Tom the Tourist
** During March, D.C. is painted a cherry blossom pink hue. Menus at coffee shops and fine-dining restaurants alike feature cherry blossom-flavored offerings, some as exquisite as bonito sashimi topped with a cherry blossom flower. Tom the Tomato decided to take the day off and get in on the action. He headed to the tidal basin to see this DC staple for himself. You could say it tickled him pink (you’d be wrong, he’s still gray, but you could say that technically).

​
