I'm not sure that all customers would understand this. But I agree, many pubs have far too large a range for their turnover. Three or four days is the ideal in general.

Three constant beers and one guest. Rarely does even a kil last much more than a day. <br /><br />Moving up the road a bit to a pub that does have six beers but nothing like the turnover, and it's pot luck as to the quality even when it's busy. An indicator would be great for both pubs - the first, to see just how fast the beers sell, the second, to see how much it doesn't! ElectricPicsnoreply@blogger.com
