What Scran & Dram does

Scran & Dram is a single-location Scottish Public House operating at 338 Waterloo Street in New Hamburg, Ontario, Canada. The business serves a local community catchment with dine-in, takeout, delivery, and private event hosting, complemented by a bar program featuring single malts, craft beers, and cocktails. The establishment operates seven days per week with hours ranging from 11:30 AM-9:00 PM (Sunday) to 11:30 AM-11:00 PM (Friday-Saturday), maintains a patio, and is kid- and group-friendly. The team consists of approximately 7 employees and is affiliated with The Clan Gathering of Restaurants ownership group.

The core offering is a Scottish-themed comfort food menu (starters, sandwiches, mains, kids menu, dessert) priced roughly between $8 and $31.50 per item, with daily specials (Fish Monday, Fried Chicken Sannie Tuesday, Wing Wednesday, Burger Thursday) and a daily 1-4pm happy hour at $6 pints and select wines. The pub also hosts weekly live entertainment (live music, Music Bingo, karaoke) and broadcasts major sporting events on 8 large screen TVs, with a private party room accommodating up to 40 seated guests (50 standing) with a $750 minimum spend for guaranteed private use. The underlying technology stack is minimal: the website, online ordering, and delivery are powered by Sociavore, with no proprietary systems, no AI/ML features, and no disclosed R&D function. The business model is purely transactional — per-item food and beverage sales across dine-in, takeout, delivery, and event bookings — with no subscription, licensing, or third-party revenue streams.
