Golf Course Bev Cart Tactics for More Revenue
Golf beverage carts can be extremely valuable for your course and players’ experiences. But relying on traditional methods is only going to hold you back and disappoint your customers. If your golf course bev cart isn’t bringing in enough revenue, it’s not because golfers aren’t hungry or thirsty. It’s likely because your system isn’t set up for fast, convenient service.
In this post, we’ll share practical, profit-driving tactics that golf operators can implement immediately to turn their bev carts into mobile money-makers.
1. Schedule Routes Strategically
Don’t leave bev cart routes up to guesswork. With Club Prophet’s integrated tee sheets and historical scheduling data, you can map out paths according to pace of play, tournament timing, and peak hours. Your team can use the real-time route mapping to adapt on the go without missing a beat.
2. Train Staff for Hospitality and Sales
Your bev cart attendants are part of your sales team. If you train them to upsell and speak confidently about your offerings, they’ll be more likely to turn interactions into sales. But sales skills mean nothing without great service. Encourage your team to create a positive experience that keeps guests coming back. Use Club Prophet’s Staff Activity Monitoring to streamline training, speed up onboarding, and track performance over time.
3. Use Mobile POS for On-the-Spot Sales
When a player is ready to buy, your golf course bev cart should be ready to sell. With Club Prophet’s Mobile Point-of-Sale (POS) system, attendants can accept card and mobile payments right from the cart. Fast order entry and digital receipts keep the line moving, so you can keep revenue coming in without making anyone feel rushed. Make sure your POS accepts every major payment type, including digital wallets.
4. Leverage Sales Data for Smarter Stocking
Running out of drinks or snacks mid-round will stunt your sales and frustrate players. Use real-time inventory tracking with automated alerts that flag low supplies. That way, you know when to pull from your backstock or give golfers a polite heads-up before they order something that’s out. You can also use these alerts to inform purchasing, stock up on popular items, and sell as many low-performing items as possible before they expire.
5. Make Your Golf Course Bev Cart Part of the Experience
Encourage your staff to act as brand ambassadors for your business each time they interact with players. With Club Prophet’s customer profiles and sales history tracking, they can greet players by name and recall their favorite orders. This personal touch will make every golfer at your course feel more like a valued guest, rather than just another customer.
