From Bar Tabs to Boat Rentals—We Get It Because We’ve Lived It.
Hi, I’m Sam. Founder of Dockside Digital Solutions.
I started behind the bar.
Reading the room. Setting the tone. Making people feel like they belonged — whether they were celebrating, grieving, or just trying to catch their breath.
Then I became a bar owner.
I trained my team to do the same — to serve more than drinks. To serve connection. We weren’t just slingin’ cocktails. We were building a community.
I hired mentors. I invested in video marketing before most mom-and-pops ever considered it. I brought in a media crew (shoutout to Dan) that helped us tell our story in a way that made people feel something real. We were in the news, on the radio, active in our community — and our vibe was immaculate.
But then...
Life happened.
Weather. Recession. Social unrest. And finally, the death blow: COVID.
I tried to pivot. Again and again.
Tried every gimmick, chased every trend, burned myself out trying to stay afloat.
And eventually, I lost the business I built with my whole heart.
But I wasn’t done.
I started over — this time, on the water.
Boat rentals. Lake days. Adventure hospitality.
And that’s when I realized — the secret sauce never changed.
The vibe was the product. The experience was the brand.
And video? That was the key to showing people who we really were.
So I stopped chasing trends and started showcasing what we did best.
I took the same systems I used to scale my restaurant and rebuilt a new business.
Now I use those systems to help you scale smart — not scattered.
Dockside Digital Solutions is for family-owned adventure and destination businesses.
The ones who pour their heart and soul into every guest experience.
The ones who hold their breath in the off season and pray the next peak will carry them through.
