Reducing beverage shrinkage and monitoring beverage dispensing employees to reduce revenue loss

A beer tap shrinkage reducing system that prevents unauthorized and inappropriate dispensation of liquid from a beer tap, said beer tap shrinkage reducing system comprising:

• a staff bracelet that fits on a wrist of an operator authorized to dispense beer at an establishment, the staff bracelet comprising a staff bracelet RFID tag that uniquely identifies the operator as being authorized to dispense beer at the establishment;
• a local management console that connects to a point of sale (POS) system of the establishment and sets an amount of liquid to dispense based on each liquid sales transaction entered into the POS system by the operator authorized to dispense beer at the establishment;
• a liquid assets inventory database that tracks inventory of liquids based on dispensed amounts of liquid in connection with liquid sales transactions;
• and
• a shrinkage reducing beer tap comprising a beer tap handle, a beer tap RFID communication device embedded within the beer tap handle, a beer tap line and spout, and a beer tap RFID control device embedded within the beer tap line and spout that receives a signal from the beer tap RFID communication device when the staff bracelet RFID tag is positioned proximate to the beer tap handle, wherein when the beer tap handle is pulled forward by the operator, the beer tap RFID communication device sends a signal to the beer tap RFID control device to dispense liquid when the staff bracelet RFID tag is nearby the beer tap RFID communication device, wherein the beer tap RFID control device reports a dispensed amount to the local management console for inventory tracking in the liquid assets inventory database.
