Non-Alcoholic Kegs for Restaurants & Bars
Stop losing the non-drinking guest at the table. Add a real NA tap handle without re-tooling your bar.
Why NA on tap for restaurant & bar programs
Restaurants leave money on the table when the non-drinking guest defaults to a $4 Coke. A kegged mocktail or sparkling tea sells at the same $9-$12 price point as a cocktail, with 75%+ pour margin and zero mixology labor at the bar. NA on tap also fixes the slowest service moment in any restaurant: the table of four with one non-drinker. Bartenders no longer have to muddle or shake one drink at a time during a peak; they pour it in 8 seconds and move on. PourZero kegs run on the same 1/6 bbl Sankey D system your beer already uses.
How many NA kegs for a restaurant program?
Plan around your covers per week and what % of guests order zero-proof. Industry benchmark is now 15-25% of dinner guests ordering at least one NA drink.
60-seat restaurant, 1 NA tap
3-5 kegs / month
120-seat with bar program
8-12 kegs / month, 2 taps
Hotel bar / lounge
10-15 kegs / month
Multi-unit group
30+ kegs / month, wholesale tier
Recommended categories for restaurant & bar pours
Every category ships in standard 1/6 bbl Sankey D kegs. Pick what fits your taps.
Equipment & setup
All PourZero kegs use standard Sankey D couplers. CO2 for sparkling and most mocktails; nitro cold brew needs a stout faucet and nitrogen. If you're tight on tap real estate, rotate kegs seasonally — they hold 30-60 days tapped.

Table-side mocktail program
Replace the from-scratch mocktail menu with kegged versions. Bar speed goes up, margin goes up, training time goes down.
Brunch and daytime
Sparkling tea and nitro cold brew open a real daytime beverage program that competes with the cafe down the street.
Hotel and lounge bars
Hotel bars need a polished NA option for business travelers and pregnant guests. Tap handle solves it without dedicated labor.
DD and pregnancy bar program
A real NA handle keeps the table from walking. Industry data shows the round size on a 4-top drops 30% when one guest can't find a real NA option.
