Friday night, two deep at the bar. One tap starts pouring a little warm. Head climbs. Bartenders rush. A keg swap runs long. Someone comps a round to keep the line moving. Later, a server forgets to ring a half-pint. Nothing dramatic. Just the small stuff that quietly drains draft margin.
Most operators never see those moments add up in real time. They feel the results in the P&L weeks later and guess at the cause. That’s the gap PourScore® closes.
With PourScore®, every pour creates a receipt from the line: ounces, temperature, and pressure, time-stamped and synced to POS. When pours don’t match sales, variance appears by line, by shift, by server. If temp or pressure drifts, you get an alert before guests taste it.
Back to that Friday. The alert pings. A manager checks the line, fixes the pressure, and watches foam drop. The missed rings show up as variance on two taps. The team resets, and sales compliance climbs before last call—not next month.
You do not need massive gains to justify this.
At $6.50 per pint, 3 beers/day ≈ $585/month recovered.
At $8.00 per pint, 3 beers/day ≈ $720/month recovered.
If your PourScore® plan is $500/month, less than three beers per day covers it. Your prices and volume differ, but the break-even is easy to confirm during a 20-minute walkthrough.
Most teams recover ~60% of controllable draft loss once they see line-level truth.
Same volume. Better capture. Less debate.
Bartenders keep using POS as usual. No new steps.
Managers watch a single number—PourScore®—plus real-time variance.
Alerts drive in-shift action instead of post-mortems.
