Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Swan & Cygnet, a busy riverside pub in Norwich, was struggling with spirit wastage and inconsistent measures from free-pouring during peak tourist season. They decided to standardise their gantry by fitting Beaumont Solo optics on all their house spirits.
"The difference was immediate. Our bar is cleaner, our stock-takes are spot on, and the team can serve customers much faster. It's a small change that made a massive operational difference for us."
Robert Davies – General Manager
Within the first month, The Swan & Cygnet reported a significant reduction in spirit wastage and a 20% increase in the speed of service for single-spirit mixers during their busiest shifts.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Ensure your wall bracket or shelf stand is securely fixed before attaching the optic.
- To attach, simply push the optic's fins into the bracket until it clicks firmly into place.
- Prime the optic by pushing the mechanism a few times to ensure the chamber fills correctly.
- Always insert the cork firmly into the spirit bottle before inverting it onto the optic.
Keeping It Going
- Clean optics regularly by soaking them in warm, soapy water. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- Rinse thoroughly with clean water to remove any soap residue before reusing.
- Periodically check the rubber cork and seals for any signs of wear or perishing.
- For sugary liqueurs, clean more frequently to prevent the mechanism from sticking.

Explore more from BeaumontHow the Non-Drip Mechanism Protects Your Profit
Ever wondered how a simple optic spirit dispenser 35.5ml can actively save you money? It's all down to the non-drip mechanism. Think of it like a precision-engineered valve inside the optic. When you push a glass up, the valve opens, dispensing the exact 35.5ml measure. The second you lower the glass, it snaps shut instantly and perfectly, cutting off the flow completely. This prevents that slow, costly drip of spirit that happens with older or cheaper models, which over a week can add up to a significant loss. It keeps your bar surfaces clean, your measures accurate, and your profits in the till, not on the drip tray.
Who Should Buy This?
- Traditional Pubs & Bars: Ideal for speeding up service for standard spirits like gin, vodka, and whisky while maintaining perfect GP.
- Nightclubs & Live Music Venues: The robust, single-handed design is perfect for high-volume bars where speed and accuracy are essential.
- Hotel Bars: Provides a professional, clean look for the gantry and ensures every guest gets a consistent measure.
- Social & Sports Clubs: A simple, cost-effective way for volunteer or part-time staff to manage stock and serve perfect drinks.
