Total Systems Control

What Total Systems Control does

Total Systems Control (TSC) is a privately held, Jefferson Hills, Pennsylvania-based beverage service company founded in 1997 by Rob Stosic (originally as Jordan's Draft Services) that now operates as a division of SmarterBev, itself part of Multi-Flow Industries (a beverage producer operating since 1937). The company installs, services, and maintains commercial beverage dispensing infrastructure for the hospitality industry—core offerings include glycol and air-chute draft beer systems, Berg advanced liquor and draft control systems (All-Bottle 704, All-Bottle Brand ID, Laser Touch), Bioqtech electronic draft line cleaning, bag-in-box soda systems, ice machines, refrigeration, and beverage-grade CO2, nitrogen, and custom beer blend gases. Beyond equipment, TSC rents portable keg boxes for events and supplies or distributes private-label beverages (Fountainhead craft sodas, Micro-Crafted Classics, Re-Fuel energy drinks, Harvest Squeeze juices, NourishH2O, T'ei teas, All Day Café coffee) along with national brands (Pepsi, Coke, 7-Up, Pennsylvania Dutch Birch Beer).

The business model combines one-time equipment sales, recurring maintenance contracts (quarterly, semi-annual, and annual cleaning/inspection programs), pay-as-you-go beverage gas tank exchange (20 lb and 50 lb sizes), bulk CO2 delivery, subscription/multi-year rentals of Berg liquor control systems, and beverage production and distribution. Distribution is executed entirely through direct field service: dedicated technicians perform on-site installation, preventive maintenance, and 24/7 emergency repair. Pricing is quote-based for equipment; keg box rentals are priced at $250/day plus $600 delivery/setup with travel fees beyond one hour from Jefferson Hills; gas and rental pricing varies by configuration.

TSC's primary customer vertical is bars, pubs, taverns, and restaurants in the Greater Pittsburgh region (Beaver, Butler, Washington, Allegheny, and Westmoreland counties), with extended service into Ohio (Columbus, Dayton, Cincinnati), Kentucky, and West Virginia. Secondary segments include healthcare and institutional care facilities (juice, nutrient water, thickened water, iced tea, and coffee programs), event organizers and consumers (keg box rentals), and wholesale/private-label beverage customers (custom formulations, in-house printing, low minimum production runs). Marketing is conducted through a service-area-targeted website, a Google Business profile, and direct phone/toll-free contact rather than paid digital channels, and the company positions itself as a "one-stop shop" bundling equipment, service, beverage products, and gases for hospitality operators.
