A beachfront restaurant in Clearwater Beach didn’t chase attention.
They created a drink guests couldn’t ignore… and made it fast enough to scale.
The quick story (30 seconds to read)
Before: Hand-coring was slow, messy, and inconsistent. Rushes hurt.
Switch: They added TikiCup so any bartender could core cleanly—every time.
After: The pineapple cup became a “look at that” moment that triggered photos, curiosity, and copycat orders.
The proof (3 stat tiles)
50–100 pineapples/day
“Without any formal type of advertising.”
6,000+ pineapple drinks/year
One hero drink. Predictable demand.
$1M → $4M in 5 years
Growth came from many moves—and TikiCup helped make the pineapple drink repeatable.
