Baoba USA's services are delivered through a three-step process: an initial assessment via a questionnaire, a one-on-one session with a dedicated coach, and the development of a personalized action plan.

BarMinder offers a digital liquor inventory platform for the bar and restaurant industry, designed to provide a comprehensive, real-time view of liquor stock. The company's system is engineered to reduce shrinkage and eliminate the manual labor associated with inventory management. The target market consists of bar and restaurant owners seeking to increase profit margins and operational efficiency.The core of BarMinder's offering is a combination of hardware and software that tracks individual liquor bottles from the moment they are received until they are empty. This is achieved through wireless smart spouts that monitor and measure each pour automatically, paired with a system that counts all bottles in storage. The spouts are designed to resemble standard speed pourers to avoid disrupting the customer experience. The system operates continuously, even if the establishment's internet connection is down, providing resilient and reliable inventory data. Data is accessible in real-time via a hub at the location or remotely through a mobile phone, offering insights into inventory levels and usage at all times.The business model is centered on providing a cost-effective solution that promises a full return on investment within the first few months of use by drastically reducing product loss and labor costs. By automating the inventory process, BarMinder frees up staff to focus on customer service, which can enhance customer loyalty. The platform's data can also identify opportunities for staff training to improve pouring accuracy, which has been shown to increase revenue per ticket and overall profitability. Case studies indicate the system can increase revenue per ticket by over 18% and has helped dispel the misconception that free drinks lead to higher tips, showing instead a correlation between the number of drinks served and tip amounts.

- Barnet Dulaney Perkins
Health
Barnet Dulaney Perkins Eye Center operates as a network of ophthalmology and optometry clinics primarily located in Arizona, providing medical and surgical eye care for over 35 years. The company was founded in 1993 and offers a broad spectrum of services addressing various stages of a patient's life. Dr. Dulaney was a key figure in the field, recognized for pioneering new technologies in vision correction, such as being one of the first in the U.S. to perform LASIK and among the first in Arizona to use a YAG laser. Dr. Perkins has also been at the forefront of adopting new technologies, being the first surgeon in Arizona to implant Alcon's Acrysof IQ PanOptix Trifocal IOL and the first in the Southwest US to implant the EVO Visian ICL.The business functions as a for-profit, private entity that generates revenue through patient services. Its clients are individuals seeking a wide range of eye care, from routine examinations to complex surgical procedures. The center provides comprehensive eye exams, cataract surgery, LASIK, and treatments for conditions like glaucoma, dry eye, and issues related to the cornea and retina. Additionally, they offer ophthalmic plastic surgery, including non-surgical options like Botox and dermal fillers. The organization operates on a multi-specialty group practice model, where a team of ophthalmologists and optometrists collaborate on patient care, all using a shared electronic medical record system to ensure cohesive treatment plans.A significant milestone occurred in April 2017 when Barnet Dulaney Perkins Eye Center was acquired by and became an affiliate of American Vision Partners. This partnership integrated the practice into a larger network of eye care providers across Arizona, New Mexico, Nevada, California, and Texas. This affiliation provides partner practices with access to a comprehensive management system, infrastructure, and technology, allowing doctors to focus more on patient care rather than administrative tasks. While the center maintains its recognized name on its buildings, communications and billing now reflect the American Vision Partners brand.

- BarVision
Food
BarVision offers a profit management and consumption intelligence solution tailored for the hospitality sector, specifically targeting bars, restaurants, and hotels. The firm's core business revolves around helping food and beverage operators reduce waste, ensure drink consistency, and increase revenue by meticulously tracking liquor pours. The company's primary offering is a system that combines patented, sensor-equipped "Smart Spouts" with a data analytics platform. These wireless, free-pour spouts fit on standard liquor bottles and precisely measure the amount of alcohol dispensed for every drink in real-time. This pour data is then transmitted wirelessly and integrated with over 50 leading Point-of-Sale (POS) systems, allowing the platform's algorithms to match each pour with its corresponding transaction. This process enables the identification of discrepancies such as over-pours, unrecorded sales (giveaways), and premium substitutions, which are significant drivers of lost revenue in the bar industry. BarVision's business model is subscription-based, which includes a low setup charge and a flexible monthly fee determined by the number of spouts a client uses. The Smart Spouts are provided for free as part of the subscription and are replaced at no charge if lost or broken. The company's value proposition is a significant return on investment, with clients reportedly increasing monthly revenue by thousands of dollars. Beyond the technology, BarVision provides a dedicated customer success team that offers weekly insights and coaching to help staff improve pouring accuracy and operational efficiency. By providing managers with detailed, remote-accessible dashboards on bartender performance, liquor usage, and sales trends, the system fosters accountability and enables data-driven decision-making to optimize pricing strategies and inventory control.
