Draft Tracker

DRAFT TRACKER

Flowmeter Beer Controls

Flowmeters are small sensors that are inserted into each beer line inside the keg cooler to precisely monitor the amount of draft beer being dispensed; not unlike the water meter on your house.

Flowmeter systems have a central unit that provides draft usage readings for each beer line on an LCD display. Our 16-line system can automatically poll the flowmeters at specified times and import the beer usage figures directly into our Draft Manager software stored on your office computer.

The Draft Manager Software calculates the variance between the amount of draft poured and the amount of draft sold. Once managers know the "beer facts" for every shift, they can hold their employees accountable for any missing sales. Profits increase dramatically by the reduction of beer carelessly poured down the drain and managers increased control over formerly common incidents of cash skimming, employee consumption and unauthorized giveaways.

Flowmeter system prices are listed below. The 2-line system is battery operated and can handle either 1 or 2 flowmeters; the 4-line system runs on electricity and can handle up to 4 flowmeters; and the 16-line system runs on electricity and can handle up to 16 flowmeters. Draft dispensing configurations with more than 16 beer lines can implement multiple 16-line systems networked together.

Make sure to ask us about RENTING a flowmeter system. Monthly payments for a 10-line system is less than $10 a day! The amount of money your operation will recoup after implementing Draft Tracker flowmeter controls, will not only pay the monthly fee but will also add hundreds, and more likely, thousands of dollars to your draft profits every month. It's really a no-brainer!

Who is USBN?
USBN is a New York company that developed a website that enables you to view and analyze your draft usage data (from the flowmeters) and draft sales data (from your POS or cash register system) in real-time from any computer with internet access.

Their friendly staff will coordinate the installation of your draft control system; provide training on accessing your draft beer data online and utilizing their website's keg ordering & lost sales reporting features; arrange your monthly rental program and maintain the ongoing integrity of your flowmeter system.

How much is the upfront capital cost for the USBN rental program?
There is no upfront capital cost for any equipment, installation or training. The USBN rental program is available for a small monthly fee and a minimum 12 month subscription.

Will my bartenders and staff have to change the way they work in order to use the flowmeter system?
No. The flowmeter system does not interfere with any equipment/procedures used by bartenders.

Is the system visible to customers at the bar?

No. Flowmeters are installed in the beer coolers above the kegs. It is completely invisible to customers.

Is there a limit to the amount of beer lines I can monitor?

No. The flowmeter system can cover any number of beer lines, even at multiple locations.

Do I need any special equipment at the bar location to make the system work?

No. The system is independent of any computers/equipment on site. The only thing that the system requires is an internet connection.

What happens when foam goes through the flowmeters?

Foam is nothing but beer with gas bubbles. Eventually, when the foam settles, all that remains in the glass is liquid beer. The system will only record the ounces of the actual beverage that goes through the flowmeters, i.e. the exact amount of beverage remaining in the glass after the foam settles.

Do I have to wait until the end of the day or week to view my data?

No. The USBN system is real-time, so you can view your data at any time from any remote location.

Do I need any special software to view/retrieve the product usage data?

No. All the product usage data can be accessed and downloaded from USBN�s website using a secure login and password.

Will the flowmeter system work with any draft beer brand or type?

Yes. Each flowmeter can be programmed to work with any draft beer brand or type.

Does line cleaning have any effect on the system?

Flowmeters are made from a product called Delrin by Dupont, which is FDA approved. It has friction properties close to Teflon as well as a very low absorbency factor. Therefore, the flowmeters do not affect the taste/composition of beer, they will not cause the beer to foam nor are they affected by beer line cleaning solutions.

Will flowmeters work with fountain soda?

Yes. Flowmeters can work with any kind of dispensed beverage.
