When it comes to the science of pouring a beer to be proud of, any true ale enthusiast knows that there’s a lot more to consider than just a clean glass. Forty-five degree angles, hawk-like precision and proper head formation all play a part in successfully cracking the code on a perfect glass of beer.
Sounds simple right? Wrong. It’s actually a lot harder than it looks, and if you don’t know what you’re doing, it’s very easy to end up with a foamy mess.
Fortunately for the lovers of lager who know this disaster all too well, a new beverage dispensing technology has just been launched, here to make handling your favourite malty drink a lot more chilled.
CUPL Rapid Liquid Dispensing in collaboration with Zapper have just introduced a new Frost Liquid Ordering system (FLO). Designed to be used by patrons as a self-service kiosk at their favourite watering holes, FLO turns even the worst barman into a pouring pro.
Here’s how it works!
Customers pay for their beer, or round of beers, by scanning a secure QR code using the Zapper mobile payment app.
Once the transaction is successful, a pour enabled command is sent to the dispense points on the FLO machine where a special nozzle is connected to the base of a custom-moulded cup.
The user then presses a button to release the beer, and the cup is filled from the bottom up, creating a swirling vortex that reduces foam and prevents spillage. Once the cup is full, it is then sealed with a silicone valve – ready to be enjoyed. The whole process takes just 4.5 seconds.
It’s as easy as scan, pay, pour!
This ground-breaking technology is the ideal solution for business owners who are looking for a faster way to speed up beverage service and make a thirsty customer a happy customer. As a self-service kiosk, FLO makes bar overcrowding on busy nights a thing of the past. The system can also be used to dispense soft drinks, wine, ciders and other pre-mixed alcoholic beverages for those who prefer cocktails, or a martini not shaken, or stirred… but swirled.
As far as mobile payments and beverage technology goes, Zapper and CUPL are headed in the right direction. Like the old adage suggests, sometimes it’s best when you just go with the FLO.
