The Issue: Bars, restaurants and entertainment venues impacted by the pandemic continue to face challenges with lower foot traffic and higher operating costs.

Why It Matters: Energy-efficient draft beer systems provide operational savings while encouraging on-premise spending. Providing tax incentives for draft systems will help bolster the hospitality industry that employs over 16 million Americans.

We Encourage Congress to:

• Support the Creating Hospitality Economic Enhancement for Restaurants and Servers (CHEERS) Act when it is reintroduced. This legislation would provide a tax deduction for bars, restaurants and entertainment venues with energy-efficient draft beer systems.
