When Mark Schultz, Beverage Director at Slater’s 50/50, took over beverage operations across seven locations, he was faced with a challenge familiar to many multi-location restaurant groups: menu chaos. Between managing beer rotations, updating chalkboards, printing menus, and aligning staff across stores, things were falling through the cracks—and eating up hours of his day.

That’s when Slater’s turned to Evergreen.

The Challenge: Time Drain and Inconsistent Execution

Managing the beer program at multiple locations meant spending up to two hours a day just updating menus. Each store had its own routine. Some relied on outdated chalkboards. Others were trying to print new menus in-house. None of it was scalable.

“I’m running 7 locations and depend on the Evergreen tools every day. They cut down the time I was spending managing my beer program from 2 hours a day to 10 minutes.” – Mark Schultz, Slater’s 50/50

This inefficient system made it hard to:

• Keep tap lists up to date

• Launch limited-time offerings across stores

• Maintain consistent branding and pricing

• Train new managers on menu updates

The Solution: Streamlined Digital Menu Management

With Evergreen, Slater’s 50/50 implemented a centralized, digital-first menu system that eliminated friction at every level.

With Evergreen, they were able to:

• Create master templates and clone them across locations

• Automate tap list updates

• Push new promos or menu changes with a few clicks

• Train store managers quickly using Evergreen’s intuitive platform

The result? Mark and his team regained time, consistency, and control.

The Impact: Massive Time Savings + Better Operations

Slater’s saw immediate benefits:

• Daily menu updates went from 2 hours to 10 minutes

• Consistent branding and pricing across all 7 stores

• Faster onboarding of new managers

• Higher engagement from staff and customers

Evergreen’s print, web, and digital signage options also meant that no matter how a customer engaged—on-premise, online, or takeaway—the experience was aligned and professional.

The Bigger Win: Empowered Managers, Better Guest Experience

Instead of relying on corporate for every menu change, store managers were trained to use Evergreen’s Digital Menu System independently. That autonomy improved execution, reduced delays, and gave each location the power to react to local trends without straying from brand standards.

“Now all of my store managers are trained on the tools from day one.”

The ripple effect was clear:

• Faster rollouts of new drinks or events

• Fewer errors in printed or digital menus

• More time for staff to focus on service, not logistics
