An establishment is defined as having one walk-in fridge that serves one or more bars.
One walk-in, one bar
Sam's Saloon has one walk-in fridge that serves one bar. In the Tap Trackers system, Sam's Saloon is one establishment.
One walk-in, two or more bars
Let’s say that Tony's Tavern has one walk-in keg fridge that serves two bars: the main bar (5 taps) and the basement party room bar (5 taps).
In the Tap Trackers system, Tony's Tavern is one establishment, but, EACH LINE is set up in the system as its own line. Tony’s Tavern would have ten lines.
The number of lines in an establishment is the number of faucets in an establishment, not the number of couplers.
# of lines = # of faucets (taps)
If one keg feeds two lines/faucets (the beer line is Y’d) then this is counted as two lines. You should be billing for two lines cleaned, just as we count them. You should invoice your customers based on the number of faucets they have, not the number of couplers. This is industry best practice.
Two walk-ins, two or more bars
If an establishment has two walk-in keg fridges, it is set up as two establishments in the Tap Trackers system.
Example:
Bill's Beer Bar has a walk-in keg fridge on the main floor that serves the ten taps there.
It also has a second walk-in keg fridge on the rooftop, which serves the 10 taps on the Rooftop Patio Bar. The second walk-in and bar are on the rooftop.
In this case, it is set up as two separate establishments in the Tap Trackers system, despite being owned by the same person, sharing the same establishment name, and having the same address. (Note - we don’t charge you based on the number of establishments you have)
In this case, we would have two separate establishments:
Bill's Beer Bar - Main
Bill's Beer Bar - Rooftop
Two separate establishments with their own schedule, notes, No Go Hours, details,....
To prevent the pins on the map from overlapping, we recommend adjusting the addresses of one or more of them by 4, for example, changing one of them from 180 King Street to 184 King Street. This way, they appear offset on the map, but your techs still know where to go.
