A COMPANY providing drinks dispense equipment is the toast of the industry after developing a new product.

Brewfitt Dispense Equipment Ltd, based at Fenay Bridge, has launched Precise Pour, a wireless dispense system which could save pub operators up to £10 per bottle of spirit.

Tests have shown that on average, bars "over-pour" as much as 10cl or 14.3% of a single bottle.

A 70cl bottle provides 28 measures at 25ml a shot – and at £2.50 a shot that equals £10 a bottle in lost revenue.

That means a pub or bar selling 50 bottles a week could be losing £500 a week or £26,000 a year in revenue.

Precise Pour is the first wireless dispense system designed to give bars the most complete and economical answer to this problem of stock loss from over-pouring. It pours exact measures at any angle and there is no need to turn bottles upright between pours.

If required, the wireless connection through the master unit allows sales and stock reports on all dispense activity, which can be printed out, screened on a PC or linked to point-of-sale.

Brewfitt managing director Curtis Paxman said: "Precise Pour is a revolutionary device which will cut waste levels and boost revenue.

"It allows thousands of servings between battery recharge and speeds up service, benefiting both customers and businesses."
