Efficiency and Cost Savings: The Business Case for Automatic Beer Taps
Efficiency is the name of the game when running a business. The more efficient your operations, the better your profits and the happier your customers.
That said, old-school techniques and technologies, such as traditional beer taps, can prevent you from realizing your efficiency goals and unlocking meaningful cost savings. That is why you should ditch your aging system and upgrade to automatic beer taps.
GS Draft System Solutions makes some of the most robust automatic beer taps on the market, including the revolutionary ReverseTap draft beer dispensing system. By upgrading to our technology, you can serve perfect pours with lightning-fast efficiency and save some cash in the process.
We get it. Before you invest in automatic beer taps, you need to ensure it makes financial sense for your business. With that in mind, let’s dive deeper into the efficiency and cost-saving benefits of our ReverseTap draft beer dispensing system.
GS Draft System Solutions’ Innovative Dispensers
Before we showcase how GS Draft System Solutions’ automatic beer taps can save you time and money while also elevating the customer experience, let’s first outline our two unique systems, which include:
QuickTap Automatic Beer Taps
QuickTap automatic beer taps are the fastest dispensers in the world. In just five seconds, your staff can pour the perfect pint with the press of a button.
Here’s how it works:
First, your server needs to place a cup underneath QuickTap's sleek, modern dispensing platform. Next, they press the appropriate button based on the size of the glass they want to fill. In five seconds or less, they will have a perfectly-poured glass of ice-cold beer, which they can serve up to your customers.
The hands-free design of our automatic beer taps maximizes the efficiency of your team. One server can operate multiple stations while also ensuring a perfect, consistent beer head each time. You decide how much foam you want, which prevents any surprises from diminishing the customer experience or spoiling the quality of your beer.
And did we mention that QuickTap automatic beer taps offer a 100% yield rate? That’s right — you can stop throwing money down the drain and squeeze every last drop of delicious hoppy goodness out of your kegs. When the well runs dry, your team can use our dispensing system’s quick-change design to install a new keg in seconds.
The ReverseTap Draft Beer Dispensing System
The ReverseTap draft beer dispensing system is the pinnacle of pouring efficiency. Unlike traditional systems, these automatic beer taps fill cups from the bottom up.
Each cup features a patented injection-molded seal. When the cup is locked into the dispenser, the seal is opened to allow the beer to flow into it. When your server removes the cup from the dispensing system, the seal automatically closes and keeps that crisp, refreshing beer right where it needs to be.
GS Draft System Solutions offers both reusable and disposable cups for the ReverseTap draft beer dispensing system. Our cups are available in 12-ounce, 16-ounce, and 20-ounce sizes.
Like our other automatic beer taps, ReverseTap dispensers boast a one-touch design. Servers simply need to snap the cup in place, press the appropriate button, and watch the dispenser do the rest. Within seven seconds, they will have a cup of ice-cold beer ready to be served to your patrons.
Like QuickTap, the ReverseTap system offers a 100% keg yield rate. That means no more wasted beer and better profits per keg. Sounds like a win-win for your business.
Making the Case for Automatic Beer Taps: 6 Key Benefits
Upgrading to automatic beer taps like QuickTap or ReverseTap can help you unlock measurable business benefits such as:
1. Increased Keg Yield
Automatic beer taps provide cost savings in a very significant way. Low keg yield rates can cut into your profits and lead to lots of wasted beer. Investing in automatic beer taps like the ReverseTap draft beer dispensing system can help you achieve a 100% keg yield, which would lead to some major cost savings.
Think about that for a moment. Let’s say your current system has a keg yield of just 85%, and you pay about $120 per keg on average. At that rate, $18 worth of beer would be going to waste with every keg. Over the course of the year, that could really add up and impact your bottom line.
Systems that produce too much foam cause even more waste and further diminish profitability.
Making the switch to an automated beer system is one of the best ways to reduce waste and increase profitability. Increasing keg yield to 100% can save you hundreds each year and help you generate the extra revenue needed to grow your business.
2. Reduced Labor Costs
In addition to helping you boost keg yield, automatic beer taps can reduce your labor costs. When one server can work multiple dispensers, you can serve your patrons with less staff. Thanks to the no-mess design of systems like ReverseTap, you will also save on after-hours cleaning costs.
3. Increased Efficiency
Whether you are serving up beers at your bar establishment or taking your system on the go to staff local events, efficiency is key to providing a great patron experience. The faster you can distribute ice-cold drinks, the happier your customers will be and the more revenue you will generate.
Automated beer taps allow you and your team to serve drinks much faster. One server can operate multiple dispensing stations, and systems like QuickTap can pour a pint in just 5 seconds. That equates to 12 beers per minute. If one server is using two stations, they can pour upwards of 20 pints per minute.
4. Improved Patron Experiences
No one likes waiting in endless lines that seem like they never move. But when you pour beer the old-school way, long lines could become commonplace in your establishment. When you face an influx of foot traffic, your staff will struggle to catch up.
With an automated beer tap, your team can breeze through the longest of lines. Within minutes, they can serve hundreds of beers, keep your customers happy, and provide an experience that will have patrons coming back for more.
5. Better Team Morale
Getting overwhelmed with drink requests can leave your staff feeling frustrated. Even the best servers will be feeling the pressure if they are stuck with antiquated dispensing equipment that yields foamy, imperfect pours.
With systems like QuickTap and ReverseTap, you can take the hassle out of pouring beers. Everyone from your pro bartenders to your least experienced servers will be able to easily serve fresh brews. They can keep up with orders, earn more tips, and enjoy a frictionless work experience.
6. Enhanced Reputation
Whether your establishment is the most popular place in town or you need a way to sharpen your competitive edge, automated beer taps can be a great addition to your business. With an automated system, you can build a reputation for having the fastest service and best pours.
Before you know it, you will have an influx of new patrons, which means more revenue and better cash flow.
Upgrading your tap systems can also help you strengthen your reputation with existing patrons. You can retain your current customers and nurture a sense of loyalty toward your business by providing an exceptional experience every time they enter your establishment.
