Challenge<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

As you step through the doors of Fast Friends Beer Co. in Austin, Texas, you are immediately surrounded by the theme of camaraderie and connection that is the foundation of the brewery. From the \u201cNever met a stranger\u201d slogan on the front door and T-shirts to the light-hearted \u201cBeers make buddies\u201d imagery, everyone is made to feel welcome. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fast Friends\u2019 founder Dave Childress and his business partner, Christian Helms, were intent on making every detail of the space support a theme of building human connection. It\u2019s all part of a broader mission in which the brewery helps financially support initiatives for positive change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of those details was promoting cleanliness by providing ready access to hand sanitizer. Childress and his team believed encouraging good hygiene was especially important in a food service setting. But they wondered if there was a way to do so that wasn\u2019t so clinical and sterile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Solution<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

When Childress was introduced to Vaask early in the brewery\u2019s building process, he realized the dispenser provided the innovative approach to hand hygiene he had been seeking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWith Vaask, guests are able to clean their hands while also interacting with our brand in a fun way,\u201d Childress said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each dispenser is adorned with the company\u2019s logo, featuring a playful pair of beer buddies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The menu includes a range of culinary options and reflects the brewery\u2019s emphasis on offering something for everyone. There are vegan and gluten-free options as well as \u201cmiddle of the fareway\u201d meat and cheese dishes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe talk a lot about \u2018wow\u2019 moments at Fast Friends, about how we can take the ordinary and make it a notch more fun and unique,\u201d Childress said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Evidence of this can be found in the design of the space and menu offerings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cVaask gives us one more way to deliver a bit of surprise and delight to our guests.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The aesthetic aspects of Vaask are what initially drew Childress in, but the superior functionality made it a smart investment for the brewery. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe durability and longevity of the dispensers are features we really appreciate,\u201d Childress said. \u201cPlus, cleanup is a breeze, maintenance is a breeze and refilling is a breeze.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
