Ales on Rails: Making a Smarter Brewery with Ruby
summary
A brewery-grade Rails app runs the beer database, menu and printable tags using Prawn PDF and Active Admin then migrated to React while four Raspberry Pi displays pull the API in real time and update menus instantly. A reservation system sells limited bottles in staggered daily allotments with cron jobs and email confirmations, to‑go tags print on demand, and keg collars generate QR codes for inventory. Integrations include Refinery via RSS import, Stripe payments, Trello workflow and a Flutter prototype mobile app.
