The Challenge

Pints & Quarts had a crowd-pleasing margarita recipe, but driving consistent sales was another story. Managers wanted to motivate their bartenders and servers to sell margaritas more often, but manual contests and bonus tracking took too much time, often fizzling out before they had an impact. Without a streamlined system, incentive programs felt inconsistent, difficult to manage, and hard to measure.

The Approach

Pints & Quarts implemented SocialCrowd’s automated employee incentive platform to take the guesswork and heavy lifting out of contests. Sales goals for margaritas were set directly in the system, and employees were automatically rewarded the moment they hit milestones. Real-time leaderboards and instant recognition kept staff engaged, while managers no longer had to chase down results or process payouts by hand.

With automation powering their incentive program, Pints & Quarts saw margarita sales soar, transforming them into a reliable driver of both revenue and team energy.

In SocialCrowd they created an incentive program where employees earned $5 for every 10 margaritas sold.

The automation allowed managers to simply set team goals while the platform made sure everyone achieved them.

The Results
