Non-Alcoholic Kegs for Coffee Shops & Cafes
Replace your canned cold brew and seltzer spend with a draft program that pulls 60-80% pour margin.
Why NA on tap for coffee shop programs
Cold brew and sparkling tea sell at $5-$7 a cup in cafes. On tap, your COGS is closer to $2 — the same drink in cans costs you $3-$4 to stock. Adding 1-2 NA tap handles transforms your afternoon and weekend revenue without adding labor. PourZero ships 1/6 bbl Sankey D kegs that drop into any standard cafe kegerator. Nitro cold brew is the highest-volume SKU in any cafe, followed by sparkling tea and kombucha. Wholesale pricing kicks in at 10+ kegs and most cafe accounts land on a standing bi-weekly order within a month.
Cold brew on tap vs. cans
Cafes that switch from canned cold brew to keg see 50-70% lower per-pour COGS and 2-3x higher attach rate (because pulling a tap handle is fast).
