Problem
Draught beer is difficult to measure accurately, and traditional stock reconciliation relies on manual spot checks or monthly stocktaker visits. By the time variance is detected, the trail of where, why, and when it occurred has gone cold, making it nearly impossible to recover lost revenue or identify training gaps.
Solution
Pourmetrics installs smart flowmeters on every draught line in a venue, measuring every drop poured and reconciling it automatically against POS sales. The system provides real-time variance detection, instant alerts when thresholds are breached, and actionable intelligence with investigation tools and recommended fixes. Data is processed locally on an edge unit and synced to a cloud dashboard, eliminating manual stocktakes and enabling same-day visibility of losses. The service includes professional installation, tap mapping, calibration, and training, with hardware replaced as part of the subscription.
Target Audience
Primary customers are pubs, bars, hotels, and multi-site hospitality operators in Ireland who need to protect draught margins and standardise operations across venues.
