Draft Systems for More Profitable Pints
Let Us Handle Your Draft System, So You Can Focus On Running Your Business
Draft systems can be complicated, finicky, and easy to overlook when you’re busy running a business. We make sure your beer is pouring efficiently and tasting exactly as it should, every single pint. We know that nothing kills a dinner rush faster than foamy beer, frustrated staff, and wasted product.
At The Funk Busters, our goal is simple: help you make more money on draft. A properly maintained system means every pint poured is consistent, high-quality, and profitable — and that’s exactly what we deliver.
Why draft beer lines need maintenance
Draft beer is a living product, highly sensitive to time, temperature, and cleanliness. Within days, yeast, bacteria, and mold form biofilms inside beer lines regardless of pour volume, beer type, or even whether the product is pasteurized — with non-alcoholic options being especially vulnerable.
These contaminants directly impact flavor and aroma in ways customers notice even if they never say so; a bad pint means a lost reorder, a lost regular, or a lost sale to another beverage. Keeping your draft system clean isn’t just about quality — it protects your reputation and your bottom line in one of the most profitable beverage categories you carry.
Investing in regular draft system maintenance isn’t an expense; it’s the solution to a problem that’s already costing you money.

What's Included In Your Service
The Funk Busters works exclusively with accounts committed to a regular maintenance schedule. All new clients begin with a full system assessment and choose a cleaning schedule, typically twice per month. We don’t do one-time cleanings — because one-time cleanings don’t protect your beer, your brand, or your bottom line.

New Clients: Your first visit is a full system assessment
Before your first cleaning, our technician performs a complete draft system assessment — evaluating every line, component, faucet, coupler, and your glycol system if applicable. We document what we find, flag anything that needs attention, and set a baseline for your ongoing service. This assessment is included at no additional charge and is valued at $500.
How Often
Research from the Brewers Association, supported by a recent study conducted by Draftline Technologies, shows that simply moving to a two-week cleaning cycle from an extended 4 to 8 week cycle can raise draft beer dollar sales by up to 7%.
Conversely, extending the cleaning cycle to 5 to 8 weeks produces a decline of -7% in draft beer sales. These results demonstrate that clean beer is not only better for the customer experience—it directly impacts your bottom line.
