Pourmetrics exists because draught stocktaking is broken — and the team behind it has lived the problem first-hand.
Fergal Quinn is involved in the running of a number of hospitality venues in Ireland. He knows first-hand how important it is to maintain margin — and how challenging it is to get timely, reliable stock reconciliation.
Most large venues bring in professional stocktaking companies on a monthly or bi-monthly basis. The reports are useful, but by the time a variance is spotted, it's almost impossible to track back to where, why, and when it occurred. The trail has gone cold.
A good stock control system relies on regular spot checks — spirits, bottles, draught. Spirits and bottles are relatively straightforward. Draught is the hard one. It's difficult to measure, even harder to measure accurately, and it's often a two-person job that ties up valuable time during service.
That's the gap Pourmetrics fills. A smart flowmeter is fitted to every beer line in the venue, measuring every drop poured — automatically, continuously, and accurately. No more guesswork. No more waiting for a stocktaker to confirm what was already suspected. When variance happens, it's visible the same day, on the right tap, on the right shift.
The mission is simple: give every operator the tools to protect their margin without spending half their week on stock reports.
Every figure on the dashboard comes from a real measurement, not a model or an estimate. If Pourmetrics says 28 pints were poured at the main bar yesterday, that number is auditable line by line.
You see variance the same day it happens — not three weeks later when the trail is cold and nobody remembers what happened that Friday night.
Per-line pricing. No long contracts. A 60-day risk-free pilot for the first 50 customers. Pourmetrics grew up in this industry and understands what hospitality margins look like.
Pourmetrics is built and supported from Ireland by Prystine Systems Ltd. The team understands Irish (and UK) hospitality because they work in it.
