ABOUT US
Sestra Systems is an award-winning company headquartered in Sterling, VA. Our clients span coast to coast, including casinos, stadiums, performing arts centers, restaurants, wineries and more. Born to fill a need long ignored by the market, our company has grown through unyielding creativity to solve the biggest problems in the beverage service industry.
THE BEGINNING
We started in the telecommunications industry before turning our passion for vino into a nationwide importer/distributor business. As our client list grew, we became immersed in the beverage industry – end to end – learning and experiencing as much as we could about production, packaging, distribution, and consumption. That’s where our story of IoT beverage dispensing really begins.
Looking to improve their programs, clients turned to us for new technology that would prevent loss and increase profit. We found no complete solution – the food and beverage industry was sorely lacking technology and we didn’t want our clients to cobble together a solution from multiple products and services. Going back to his roots as an innovator and working with long-time friends and colleagues, our founder, Lev Volftsun, invented our patented portion control system and Sestra was born.
