PourMyBeer is paving the way for revolutionary self-pour beverage technology. Josh Goodman, Founder, and CEO developed our proprietary technology to benefit both the customer and the business operator. Using hardware and software built to last, PourMyBeer is helping business operators worldwide increase sales while decreasing waste and staffing challenges, creating an unforgettable experience for patrons. For establishments powered by PourMyBeer, getting a drink has never been easier. Guests approach the tap wall with their registered RFID card or wristband. Once the system recognizes the card, patrons can read about drinks on tap. When they’re ready to pour, patrons grab a glass and begin pouring. Altogether, guests can check-in and start pouring in less than 30 seconds. The system charges by the ounce, so customers only pay for what they pour. You can sample as many different beverages as you want at the touch of a button! At PourMyBeer, we are dedicated to providing reliability and transparency in our technology and business practices! Cheers!

In March of 2002, Belvedere Trading emerged as Chicago’s newest market makers, soon to join the ranks of the Windy City’s elite proprietary trading firms. Armed with printouts of Excel workbooks and a team of eager minds, Belvedere established their place in the SPX pit on the floor of the Chicago Board Options Exchange. From the beginning, we began iteratively investing in our proprietary technology, first building our options model, then adapting it to work on a handheld computer, then committing to building our software systems from the ground up. Due to our ultramodern proprietary technology and risk management capabilities, Belvedere is able to quickly capitalize on inefficiencies in the marketplace. Our trading models and software systems are continually re-engineered, optimized, and maintained to stay on top of the industry. Belvedere Trading’s success and rapid growth are the direct results of our market experience, commitment to our mission and values, and relentless focus on the training and development of our team members. We attract an amazing caliber of diverse people; our team is comprised of over 200 individuals and we are actively expanding year over year. Since our inception, Team Belvedere has enjoyed low turnover and high referral rates due to our distinctive working atmosphere, well defined company culture, and high levels of entrepreneurship and empowerment. Our aggressive drive for efficiency, unique trading techniques, use of cutting edge technology, and most importantly, talented people, make us confident of our continued growth and success. Belvedere Trading continually looks forward to further expansion and facing the opportunities and challenges that the evolving financial markets will bring.
