About
BarTrack is a sensor-enabled beverage quality management system designed for bars, restaurants, and hospitality venues that serve draft beverages. Its proprietary hardware — the only draft monitoring sensor in the world with no moving parts or obstruction — plugs into any existing draft system and monitors over a dozen beverage-specific variables to ensure the perfect pour every time. The BarTrack app delivers real-time data on temperature, pressure, keg levels, line cleanliness, and cooler health from any device, anywhere. By integrating with point-of-sale (POS) systems, BarTrack identifies and prevents every source of draft waste — from foam to unrung pours — with time-stamped, pour-by-pour analysis. Automated reports surface waste trends and highlight key performance indicators (KPIs) that drive smarter business decisions. BarTrack also streamlines inventory management by tracking real-time keg consumption rates, eliminating the need to manually shake or weigh kegs. A dedicated team of consultants — many of whom are former or current bar owners — provides tailored, milestone-based guidance to help operators implement best practices specific to their venue. Whether you run a single bar or a large hospitality group, BarTrack provides an all-in-one solution to optimize draft quality, streamline operations, and significantly increase draft beverage profits. Trusted by leaders in the hospitality industry, BarTrack is the only fully integrated bar technology system built to manage the complete draft beverage program.
