More and more savvy bar owners are adding a small
device to their draught beer and soft drink
dispensers.
This device is a flow meter. It has been in use
in many industries for decades to measure water,
chemicals, gas and a countless number of other
liquids.

You should answer three questions first

• What percentage of the beer kegs that you buy
  weekly do you actually sell?
• If dont sell 100 , then where is the beer
  going?
• How much money are we talking about?

5

• Every second counts
• Draught beer is served at approximately 2 oz per
  second.
• It takes 1/2 second to waste or over pour 1 ounce
  (30ml).
• It is easy to imagine how fast you loose 15 of
  your beer kegs.
• Your bartenders work for tips.
• The best tippers are their best customers.
• The best tippers expect more from bartenders.

6
When asked about their percentage of lost beer,
most bar owners say 15 or more!
If you buy 5 kegs per week (260 kegs/year) and
lost 15 of your beer, 6447 12-oz glasses filled
to the rim are lost yearly (39 kegs). Check the
numbers!
7

• Five things that can happen to your lost beer
• Over poured involuntarily or for better tips
• Carelessly poured down the drain generating
  senseless and costly waste
• Given away as unauthorized comps to friends or
  for better tips
• Inadvertently forgotten by your staff ending up
  as unregistered sales
• Bartenders intentionally pocket a percentage of
  your sales

8
If you pay 75 for a 58 litre keg (1984 oz), a
12 oz glass of beer costs you 45.4 cents. If you
buy 10 kegs per week on average and lost 15 of
your kegs, the content of 12,893 glasses would be
lost yearly for a total cost of 5848. Since the
beer is not exclusively lost to the drainer or
involuntarily over poured, a percentage of the
lost beer represents lost income. The question is
how much? If because of the control system, 1/2
of the glasses lost had been sold and the
revenues collected, at 2.25/glass for example,
you would make an additional 14,504. That is
20,352 a year (over 100K in 5 years) !

• Our method is simple yet most effective.
• All your results can be verified.
• Everything is based on common sense and a
  graduated cylinder.

10
Step 1 Know your real glass size
11
Everyone knows that good portion control
translates into higher profits. With draught
beer, your portion control is achieved with the
glass size and shape. Most people tend to
estimate their glass sizes instead of measuring
them. Ask your bartenders to pour several glasses
and measure their content using a graduated
cylinder. The more glasses you sample the more
accurate your figure will be. Average the
measured values to know how much beer you expect
bartenders to serve per glass sold. Tips A tall
and narrow glass will provide a more accurate
portion control. Check your glass sizes
regularly.
12
Step 2 Reconcile sales with usage Multiply the
number of glasses registered from your cash
register report and multiply by the quantity you
expect bartenders to pour per glass. Repeat for
each glass size. Compare your results with the
real amount of beer dispensed. You can do it
monthly or annually by comparing the number of
kegs purchased and the number of glasses sold but
that will only give you numbers! If however, you
did it daily, for every shift, you would be able
to know when, where and who is responsible for
the discrepancy. You would get results!

Time is money! And the clock is ticking. From
the time you start thinking about it until the
time you buy this system, it would most likely
have paid for itself already!

• Prevention is the key to stopping your profits
  from going down the drain or into someone elses
  pockets!
• If you dont measure it, you cant tell where,
  when, how much or who is doing what with your
  draught.
• From the time your staff knows the beer is being
  measured, it is usually enough to practically
  stop all irregularities and restore maximum
  profitability.
• Regular spot checks should suffice after a few
  weeks of active supervision.
• Our systems are non-obtrusive and invisible to
  your customers.
• Everything is done in just a few minutes per
  week. You can do the calculations manually, use a
  spreadsheet program or our Draft Manager software
  to reconcile sales with the POS files.

Where do we install the flow meters?
17
Flow meters can be installed after empty keg
detectors (FOBs) on long beer runs. These devices
will shut off the beer flow when gas rushes in
instead of beer leaving the beer line fully
charged. They prevent gas from entering the
empty line causing excessive foaming when tapping
a fresh keg.
