can offer labels for prime marketing positions. It is a best position to
advertise, so you can sell this place to local breweries and micro breweries.
You will be paid for marketing their beer and organize the branding and
specials. Some will provide you with chillers to place over the top of your
epos for bar counter. The more space you have for advertisement, the more
additional revenue you will get.
It makes easy for people to move
around your space if you have a well spaced bar. It is also easy for your
barman to take orders and follow through with serving your patrons.
If there are too many taps
cluttering the counter, it will create a problem to serve the customers. To
avoid this place taps behind your epos for bar. This will leave less room for
large advertisements on your wall space. An additional space for advertisements
on the front of your bar. However, prime position is always counter service
taps, so keep that available for craft beers.

space you require and for how many?

tubes feed into the chiller where beer is cooled to a lower temperature than
normally to that of your chilling room

room for suppliers approaching you to have their labels on the taps as well.

Some
brewers with their branding will give you a chiller with enough space. Every
keg has a tap in the chiller. At least 30 cm space should be there between tap
and chiller.

If
your chiller is underneath the bar then the taps can be next to each other on
top.
Large bar taps are behind the bar
and are behind the bar with a large chilling room directly.
