Frequently asked questions by Beverage Producers

How does Metrobi help beverage businesses with their deliveries?

Metrobi works for beverage businesses at any stage of their delivery operation. It doesn’t matter if you’re self-distributing for the first time or already running your own driver fleet.

If you’re self-distributing, Metrobi connects you with a network of highly rated local couriers on demand. You can deliver directly to bars, restaurants, and retail accounts without buying trucks or hiring full-time drivers. Keep your margins. Keep your brand control.

If your sales staff are doing deliveries, that’s a growth problem. Every hour a sales rep spends on a delivery route is an hour not spent opening new accounts, nurturing existing ones, or closing orders. Metrobi takes deliveries off their plate entirely. Your team stays focused on selling, not driving.

If you already have your own drivers, Metrobi gives them better tools. Route optimization, live GPS tracking, proof-of-delivery photos, and automated customer notifications, all in one platform. Use the Metrobi driver network to cover overflow routes, seasonal demand spikes, or last-minute gaps without adding permanent headcount.

Either way, you stay in control. Build a preferred driver team that knows your accounts. Ban anyone who doesn’t handle your product properly. Get a support rep assigned to every delivery, responding in 76 seconds, day or night.

How does Metrobi work for beverage businesses?

Getting your first delivery out takes minutes. Here is how it works:

  • Post a delivery. Add your pickup location, drop-off accounts, vehicle type, and what you’re willing to pay.
  • Drivers are alerted instantly. Nearby drivers get a push and SMS notification and can apply immediately.
  • The best driver gets the job. Applicants are ranked by rating, experience, and reliability. The top fit gets the job.
  • Track in real time. Follow your driver’s GPS location and receive delivery confirmations with photos at each account.
  • Your accounts stay informed automatically. Notifications go out at dispatch, en route, and on delivery. No manual check-ins needed.

Most jobs are confirmed within minutes of posting. No phone calls, no manual dispatch, no chasing drivers.

Can I use the same drivers for my recurring bar and restaurant routes?

Yes. For beverage businesses with regular on-premise accounts, this is one of Metrobi’s most valuable features.

Preferred Drivers. After a great delivery, add that driver to your Preferred network. They get priority access to your future jobs. The same person shows up for your Wednesday keg run every week.

They learn your accounts over time. A driver who runs your route regularly knows which bar entrance to use, which accounts require a signature, and how your product needs to be treated in transit. That familiarity protects your account relationships and reduces errors.

Ban the ones that don’t work out. If a driver mishandles product or is late to an account with a tight receiving window, remove them instantly. They’ll never be matched to your jobs again.

How does Metrobi keep my bar and restaurant accounts informed during delivery?

Metrobi’s Receiver Platform sends automatic delivery updates to your accounts at every stage. No manual follow-up required on your end.

SMS and email notifications go out when the order is dispatched, while the driver is en route, and once the delivery is confirmed. Your bar manager knows the keg is on its way before they even open.

Live tracking link lets recipients follow the driver on a map in real time. No “how far away are you?” calls to your driver or your office.

Proof-of-delivery photos are captured at every stop and shared automatically. Documentation that the order arrived, in what condition, and exactly where it was placed.

Your accounts feel taken care of. Your team fields fewer check-in calls. Every delivery reinforces a professional impression of your brand.

Is Metrobi a better option than relying on a traditional distributor for local deliveries?

Traditional distributors prioritize their largest accounts. If you’re a growing craft brewery or beverage brand, your local deliveries often get deprioritized. Late windows, limited flexibility, and little visibility into what’s happening with your order.

Metrobi gives you direct control over your local distribution without the capital cost of running your own fleet.

You set the price. Drivers apply to your jobs. No opaque distributor margins, no volume minimums to qualify for service.

You choose your drivers. Build a team that knows your product, your accounts, and your standards. Not whoever a third party assigns.

You own the customer relationship. Your accounts receive delivery notifications in your name. Every touchpoint reinforces your brand, not a distributor’s.

You keep the margin. Self-distributing through Metrobi means cutting out the middleman on local routes while staying lean. No truck payments, no driver salaries, no insurance overhead.

How do I get started with Metrobi for my beverage business?

Getting started is simple. Book a call with our team and we’ll walk you through everything step by step.

We’ve helped beverage businesses of all sizes get their deliveries running. From first-time self-distributors to brands with daily multi-stop wholesale routes. Drivers on the platform know how to handle heavy loads, fragile product, and tight account windows.

Book a call with our team and get started as early as tomorrow morning.

How much does beverage delivery cost with Metrobi?

Yes, completely. You set the rate when posting a job. Drivers see it and choose whether to apply. You pick from qualified applicants. No minimum rates are imposed and no fees are added without your knowledge.

  • You stay within your delivery budget on every route.
  • During slower seasons, adjust your rate to match tighter margins.
  • During peak periods, summer festivals, holiday demand, or new product launches, offer more to secure drivers faster.

 

Can I control what I pay per delivery?

Deliveries can cover distances up to 100 miles, helping your business reach more customers without managing logistics in-house.

Are there contracts or minimum delivery commitments?

No contracts, no minimums. Metrobi works on a pay-per-delivery model. Use it when you need it, whether that’s a single keg drop or fifty bar routes a week. No lock-in period, no cancellation fees.

A small craft brewery doing its first self-distribution runs gets the same platform access as an established beverage brand managing daily multi-city wholesale routes.

How can Metrobi help reduce my overall delivery costs?

Beyond transparent pricing, Metrobi reduces costs in three concrete ways.

Route optimization cuts miles and time. Metrobi’s software sequences your account stops for maximum efficiency. Whether those are your own drivers or couriers from the Metrobi network. Beverage businesses typically save up to 30% on mileage compared to manually planned routes.

Preferred drivers get faster over time. A driver who runs your weekly bar route regularly learns the accounts, the access points, and your handling requirements. Faster, smoother routes mean a lower cost per delivery.

Use the network only when you need it. If you already have your own drivers, tap Metrobi for overflow runs, seasonal volume, or coverage when a driver calls out. No additional headcount, vehicle leases, or insurance costs required.

Can I find drivers willing to delivery heavy loads, like kegs?

Heavy loads are one of the biggest friction points in brewery self-distribution. A full half-barrel keg weighs around 160 lbs. Finding drivers willing and equipped to handle that consistently is a real challenge.

On Metrobi, you specify the physical requirements of your job upfront. Vehicle type, load weight, lift gate needs, or two-person handling. Only drivers who can meet those requirements can apply. You’re never matched with someone who shows up unprepared or refuses the job at the door.

Keg returns on the same run. Collecting empties is just another stop. Add it to the job when posting and the driver handles both directions in one trip.

Preferred drivers for heavy routes. Once you find a driver who handles your loads reliably, add them to your Preferred network. They’ll get priority on your future jobs. No more uncertainty of working with someone new every time.

What vehicle types are available for beverage deliveries?

Metrobi’s driver network includes vehicles suited to the full range of beverage delivery needs. When posting a job, you specify the type. Only drivers with the right vehicle can apply.

  • SUVs: suitable for lighter loads, a few stops, or smaller beverage orders that don’t require heavy cargo capacity.
  • Minivans: a practical option for medium-volume runs carrying cases and mixed SKU orders across several accounts without requiring a full cargo van.
  • Cargo vans: the most common choice for high-volume wholesale routes, multi-stop retail account deliveries, or kegged and bulk orders requiring significant cargo space and load capacity.

You’re never matched with a driver who shows up in the wrong vehicle for your load.

How are beverage delivery drivers rated and selected on Metrobi?

Every driver is reviewed by the businesses they deliver for after each job. Metrobi tracks three metrics to surface the best performers:

  • Star rating: current platform average is 4.97 out of 5 stars.
  • On-time score: how consistently drivers hit their scheduled windows. Platform average is 93%.
  • Reliability score: whether drivers complete the jobs they accept. Platform average is 99.3%.

When multiple drivers apply for your job, Metrobi ranks them by these metrics and assigns the best match. Higher-rated drivers get priority access to jobs. They’re motivated to perform on every delivery, including yours.

What happens if a driver doesn't meet my standards?

You’re in full control. If a driver mishandles product, shows up to an account without the right equipment, or simply doesn’t represent your brand well, you can ban them from your account instantly.

Banned drivers can never apply for or accept your jobs again. Permanently excluded from your delivery pool. No appeals, no exceptions.

On the other side, add drivers you trust to your Preferred network. They get priority on your future jobs. You consistently work with the people who already know your product, your accounts, and your standards.

Can I book multi-stop routes across bar and restaurant accounts?

Yes. Multi-stop wholesale delivery is one of the core use cases Metrobi is built for. Add as many account stops as your route requires. The route optimizer automatically sequences them for the shortest, most efficient path.

Works well for beverage businesses delivering to:

  • Bars, taprooms, and craft beer bars with weekly keg rotations
  • Restaurants and hotels with tight morning or pre-service receiving windows
  • Bottle shops, grocery stores, and specialty retailers across different neighborhoods
  • Event venues or pop-ups with one-time volume orders

One driver, one optimized route, all stops covered. With proof-of-delivery photos at each location.

What is the delivery radius for beverage orders on Metrobi?

Metrobi covers up to 100 miles from your pickup location. That’s enough to reach across any major metro area. Suburban wholesale accounts, event venues, and retail partners are all within range.

Growing from 10 accounts to 40 doesn’t require a second truck. It requires a better routing platform. Drivers on Metrobi can cover the distance. You just post the job.

Metrobi currently operates in 15+ cities across the US, with new markets launching regularly.
