Food, Beer & Merchandise

RevCrew Food & Beverage Allowance

All Revolution employees are given a $300 quarterly allowance to be spent on food and beverages sold at the Taproom.

• Seasonal or temporary employees do not qualify for an allowance but are eligible for 50% off during their period of employment.

• All employees receive 50% off after their balance has been used. 

• Taproom manager/leads must be informed of and process payments of meals that do not count toward allowances, such as 100% comped client meetings, or other management approved outings, prior to purchase. 

Beverage & Food Definitions

• Beverage includes draft, package, keg, and guest beer or cider purchases, along with non-alcoholic beverages such as hop water or sodas. The allowance may be used to purchase specialty and Deep Woods packages, crowlers, and kegs, and the allowance is subject to quantity limits as outlined by the Taproom Manager.

• Food is any meal from our Taproom, eaten on or off premise. Orders must be placed through a Taproom bartender. Merchandise may not be purchased with Food & Beverage allowance. Other restrictions may apply and will be communicated separately from this policy.

Daily Shift Beer and Payday Beer

• After their shift, Revolution employees may have 1 draft Shift Beer each day at the Taproom (as open to staff) that does not count toward their quarterly allowance. 

Additionally, Revolution employees may take home 1 case of beer (24 cans) every two weeks (period defined by our payroll) if they worked during the pay period. All employee beer must be taken from the employee beer area at the Kedzie location.

Merchandise Allowance

Employees may purchase merchandise at full retail price in a calendar year (1/1-12/31), up to a total retail value of $300, using an electronic credit provided by Revolution. Once $300 in merchandise is purchased in the calendar year, all merchandise purchased by the employee will be at a 50% discount.

• Employees must be in part or full time status or on-call status. Seasonal and temporary employees are not eligible, but will receive (1) hat and (2) t-shirts at time of hire. Seasonal and temporary employees will receive a 50% discount on clothing and certain merchandise (exclusions apply).

• In order to receive the allowance and/or discount, employees must purchase merchandise from a Taproom Crew member. Paying for merchandise in a separate transaction from taking it is not allowed and considered abuse. If employees need to or are only available to purchase merchandise when Taproom is closed, employees will have to ask a manager or office staff with access to ‘sell’ the item. 

• Revolution Gift Cards are excluded and not eligible for purchase using your Merchandise credit, nor available at any discounted rate. 

• Merchandise may not be taken or handled without prior approval from host stands, displays, or other storage areas. Removing merchandise without purchasing with either your allowance or cash is theft and subject to disciplinary action, up to and including termination.

• Merchandise credits may not be used for Food & Beverage purchases.

Keg Requests

For requesting various keg sizes, employees must email Roma. Employees can request for kegs, keg taps, and keg buckets, in accordance to their orders.

• All requests must be submitted at least 1 week prior to pick-up date and will be coordinated with Beer Traffic Control, Shipping & Receiving, and Tap Room Management after the form is submitted.

• Pricing will be at cost and estimated costs can be provided after submission.

• A $50 deposit per keg is required for all Keg Orders. Deposit will be refunded upon return of keg and, if provided at time of pick-up, return of keg taps and keg buckets. Employee discounts and allowances do not apply to deposits.

• Kegs, taps, and buckets must be picked up at our Tap Room location at 3340 N Kedzie, with all costs and deposits paid at the Taproom bar prior to loading.

• Beer requests are limited to current production and are subject to availability. We will try our best to fulfill all order requests and will let you know of availability and if you have to choose a different beer(s).
