What We Do
Pour Controls will provide you with a number of tailor made options designed to prevent shrinkage & improve pouring consistency by all bartending staff. Short & over pours work against the guest experience & the operators bottom line. We customize a solution for you to manage or we will do it for you.

Why Pour Controls:
A National Restaurant Association study suggests that, inventory shrinkage due to theft & poor pouring practices have lead to inventory losses ranging from 8% to 30% and averaging around 23%. Our mission at Pour Controls is to provide an inexpensive management tool that allows Owners & Operators to observe bartender pouring habits in a real time environment. Access to this information is made available where ever access to the World Wide Web is available. Pour Controls philosophy on inventory management is as follows:
- Monitoring identifies over & short pouring practices in real time, something that scale & bar scanning systems are practical for in a real time environment.
- Monitoring ensures drink consistencies. All restaurant chains foundations are built on a recipe of product consistency which in turn leads to customer satisfaction and return business!!!
- Monitoring does not replace proper inventory management practices & procedures
- ROI (return on investment) is normally less than a year.
