Measure your draft beer with a Keg check hand-held measuring scale

There are many draft beer flow-control & pour-control systems on the market – all expensive, taking a long time to recover your investment (and hence boost your bar profit), and often plagued with problems because they are complex systems. And they often still miss one vital ingredient – how much beer is actually in the keg! So your POS system says you’ve sold 50 pints, your draft keg flow control system says you’re pulled 52 pints. But where is the check on these numbers? – the reality is that you still need to know what’s in the keg. If not, it’s like using your ATM card without any idea what balance is in your bank account!

The Keg Check removes all doubt. Taking only seconds per keg, usually with no need to remove the pipes, you can get an accurate measure of the draft beer content (+/- approx. 2 pints). This simplicity & speed of use is vital in the busy bar & restaurant trade. In a business with so many ‘moving parts’ – staff, inventory, customers, suppliers, licensing, inspectors, maintenance, landlords, computer systems, payroll, banking etc. – much of which changes in real time – the last thing the manager needs is a tech-headache from some great new ‘beer measuring system‘. Do you really want to be stuck on a tech support line to a draft-beer flow-control company during Happy Hour? Do you want the staff to know that the new beer-measuring system is “off line” for the weekend, so there’ll be no restriction on giveaways? No? – Then get a Keg Check!

One thing that will certainly make the bartenders pay attention is seeing the owner or manager doing ‘random’ keg weighs on the draft beer. They know you can easily weigh or measure the liquor, count the beer bottles and wine bottles. But the draft beer is the vague area with no simple control – until now!

So get control of your keg beer and reclaim your draft beer profits – get a Keg Check today!
