BetterBeer.com Ltd.
Our clients hire us because they are frustrated with the three BIG problems with draught beer: One - The amount of draught beer unnecessarily poured down the drain. We find that most bars experience draught spillage around 10 %, which is about $12k a year in lost profits; even more if you add in the taxes owed on the spillage. Two - the high cost and headaches associated with traditional hand-me-down draught beer training in an industry plagued by high turnover. And three – Dirty Beer Glasses. They are the biggest cause of flat, headless pints that result in returns, costing thousands in comps and angry guests. If you find yourself losing sleep at night because of your frustration with lost profits, poor-quality pints, and declining beer sales, we should chat. We're not a fit for everyone, but we may be a fit for you.
