How It Works

Monitoring Finds It.
Action Fixes It.

Most systems hand you a dashboard and walk away. Gap Draught hands you the dashboard and then closes the loop. Follow one alert from the sensor on your line to the fix on your floor.
One Alert, Start To Finish

From Sensor
To Sorted.

Scroll through the five steps and watch the same problem move from detected to closed. Every screen below is sample data for illustration.
01

Monitor

Sensors record every pour, temperature and line clean across every tap, 24/7, with no Wi-Fi needed.

Detect

Pours are matched to sales. A breach, a missed clean, a dead tap: each one is caught the moment it happens.

Assign

Every issue becomes a structured action, assigned to the right person, urgency scored and timed.

The System

Two Layers. One Platform.

Monitoring hardware that sees everything, and an accountability layer that acts on it. Together they give you complete visibility and automatic accountability across every site.
Layer 1

Smart Monitoring

Pre-calibrated sensors on every line, working without Wi-Fi, storing data locally with 24 hour backup through a single gateway.

  • Every pour recorded: volume, flow rate, temperature
  • Cooler and cellar monitoring, always on
  • Automatic line clean detection, removed from variance
  • POS integration for beer poured versus beer sold, daily
  • One gateway supports 100 plus sensors per site
Layer 2

Gap Draught Accountability

Where monitoring becomes management. Every data point becomes an action that is owned, tracked and closed, so the saving sticks. Known as CTRL™ by Gap Draught.

  • Automatic action cards for every issue
  • Urgency scoring, so the right thing gets done first
  • Assigned to the right manager or rep, with the clock running
  • Weekly estate view: who is on top, where to step in
  • A full audit trail on every action
What We Monitor

Six Things. Watched Around The Clock.

Volume and flow rate, recorded on every tap, around the clock.

Nothing is estimated. Each pour is measured at the line and logged against the tap it came from.

  • Volume and flow rate per pour
  • Pre-calibrated sensors on every line
  • Works without Wi-Fi, with 24 hour backup

Line and cooler temperature against target, all day and all night.

A warm line is a lost customer. Gap Draught sees it the minute it drifts and turns it into an action.

  • Target band checked continuously
  • Breaches ranked by urgency
  • Assigned to the right manager
TARGET 1 TO 4°C

Cleans detected automatically and removed from your variance.

Line cleaning every 7 days is a legal obligation, a quality standard and a brand promise. The record builds itself.

  • Each clean detected, no paperwork
  • Overdue cleans flagged at once
  • Audit ready whenever you need it

A tap that stops pouring is flagged in minutes, not discovered at close.

On a busy Friday, a silent tap is a brand sitting unsold. You hear about it while there is still a rush to save.

  • Zero pours flagged against normal trade
  • Assigned with the clock running
  • Closed once flow is restored

Tap 6

Beer poured, matched to beer sold, every day.

POS integration closes the loop between the tap and the till, so a gap shows up as a number you can act on.

  • Daily match, tap by tap
  • Works with major SA and UK POS systems
  • Gaps flagged the same day

Always-on monitoring of the places beer lives before it is poured.

Quality is decided long before the glass. Cooler and cellar conditions are watched as closely as the tap.

  • Cooler health tracked continuously
  • Fewer emergency call-outs
  • One gateway, 100 plus sensors per site
3.0°CCELLAR NOW
Plays Nicely With Your Till

Beer Poured, Matched To Beer Sold.

Gap Draught integrates with major South African and UK POS systems, including ePOS Now, Lightspeed, Micros, GAAP, Pilot and TabletPOS, so the gap between tap and till shows up every day.

Questions, Answered

Before You Get In Touch.

No. Sensors store data locally with 24 hour battery backup and report through a single gateway, so monitoring continues through outages.
Most sites are fully live within two weeks: a survey on day one, sensors fitted over three to five days with no service interruption, and your team working from the live data by week two.
One gateway supports 100 plus sensors per site, so even a large venue connects through a single point.
