Brewery KPIs: Everyone Gets a Number

When it comes to key performance indicators (KPIs) one-size does not fit all.

In your brewery business you have multiple departments: brewing, packaging, taproom, admin, sales, etc.

So it only makes sense to give each department manager their own KPI to monitor, manage and improve.

In this post and short video, we’ll walk through the steps to create KPIs for each department, and give you a KPI Scorecard to get started.
