SYRACUSE, N.Y.– BeerBoard, the leader in real-time data, insights and consumer engagement for the hospitality industry, has announced the release of SmartBar Mobile, a mobile app for clients based on its patented SmartBar platform. SmartBar Mobile gives clients the full power of the platform with the ability review real-time insights, useful and revenue-generating information and the functionality to make decisions on-the-fly.
