The old management adage says “You can't manage what you don't measure.”– "... And I can assure you, beyond any reasonable doubt, you will make more money with a controlled pour as compared to a free pour, and you'll have a better-run, more manageable bar with accountability. When you measure, you can manage. When you free pour, you won't be sure of anything, you'll just be guessing. And you won't have control of your business - the bartenders will.

If all you got to track draft beer sales is a POS system, how could you possibly hold your staff accountable for the beers served that were not rung up in the POS? Bartenders do not work under much pressure because there isn’t any system in place that will “measure” how they perform at serving beer and ringing up sales in the POS. Consequently, the beers served that are forgotten, given away or stolen from the house often go undetected. You will not increase your beer sales by measuring how much beer you lose each week with a scale or an inventory control system. You will convert today’s losses into revenues tomorrow, if your bartenders know they are evaluated on their own individual performance at serving beer and at registering draft beer sales during their shift. When you will have reports listing the times, brands and sizes served for which you do not have any sales recorded (with CCTV backing you up), you will be rewarded with more diligent bartenders.

With bartenders driven to perform at their job, draft beer sales and profits can only go up! This is what the Draft manager Live system can do for you!
