AK Irrigation

What AK Irrigation does

Cask 'n Flagon Inc. is a privately held, family-owned restaurant and sports bar operator that has run the original Cask 'n Flagon Boston since 1969, located at 62 Brookline Avenue directly adjacent to Fenway Park. In 2015 the company opened a second location in Marshfield, MA, at 804 Plain Street, which features 135 high-definition screens, two bar areas, outdoor patios, and a private dining room. The Boston location also operates Oliver's, a separately branded event and nightclub space created in 2007 and named after a 1960s live music venue that previously occupied the building.

The company's product surface consists of full-service food and beverage service at both locations, a Sunday brunch buffet with cocktails at the Marshfield site, off-site catering, gift card sales through an online storefront, and private event hosting with capacity ranging from 25 to 900 guests at Boston and 20 to 200 guests at Marshfield. Core technology is limited to the Toasttab SaaS platform, which the company uses for online ordering, point-of-sale, gift card fulfillment, and event lead capture; the company has no proprietary technology, mobile app, or API integrations of its own.

The business model is fundamentally direct-to-consumer restaurant operations, with revenue generated through per-cover food and beverage sales at both restaurants, quote-based private event bookings, off-site catering contracts, and upfront gift card revenue. Customer segments include Red Sox fans and sports enthusiasts drawn to the Fenway-adjacent Boston location, local residents and families in both Boston and Marshfield, and corporate and private event organizers utilizing the Oliver's and Marshfield event spaces. Distribution is purely physical at two New England locations plus the Toasttab online channel, with marketing driven by earned media (ESPN 'Top Baseball Bar', CNN 'Best Sports Bars in America', Denver Post, Delta Sky Magazine), Facebook pages for each location, an X/Twitter account, and Eventbrite listings for special events.
